Overall Satisfaction with Duda

We are a authorized whitelabeler of Duda. Our agency uses Duda as an easy-to-use offering for clients that don't quite fit the scope of our larger offerings. We use the platform as a way to capture small business clients with smaller budgets and offer them a powerful, intuitive, and developer-free website experience without the cost of a full-on custom WordPress or HubSpot CMS implementation.

Pros

  • Flexibility in Designs
  • Intuitive Interface
  • Customer Support
  • Third Party Widgets

Cons

  • Builder Bugs
  • Some Widgets Aren't Useful
  • Duda has helped our agency capture additional personas by allowing us to offer a lower-cost alternative to our core offerings.
  • We have over 100 Duda websites in our dashboard, many of which are small businesses that would not be clients without this offering.
Upon using the builder for the first time, I found Duda to be extremely intuitive and easy to figure out, but also has a high skill-ceiling. After 5 years of building in the drag-and-drop builder, I continue to teach myself new tricks and methods to continually improve my process and design capabilities within the platform. I've built dozens of Duda sites and each one is better than the last.
I can't speak to why my agency selected Duda, but I can say from personal experience that building a website in Duda is much easier, and backed by better support than any other website builder I've used.

Duda allows me, as a web designer, to still create great looking and unique websites. I find that other platforms, while they may provide nice templates, make it very difficult to deviate from the guardrails they put in place. Through the years, even the most basic site that I've built in Duda is significantly better than those built in other platforms.

Would you buy Duda again?

Yes

In our use-case of Duda, we always recommend prospects a Duda site if it is clear that a large custom project is outside of their budget. Small businesses that need a simple and professionally designed website, and do not require custom functionality are a great fit for Duda. Especially because Duda has some room to expand into basic functionalities such as bookings, calendars, e-commerce, etc. Sometimes, it's all a client needs.

That being said, Duda does still have a high ceiling of potential, offering plenty of flexibility with third-party widgets, apps, and custom code options. We just don't sell it that way. Our focus with Duda is building professionally designed websites for clients that they can easily manage themselves, without the cost of a web developer.
