Duda takes all the best parts of drag and drop WYSIWYG development and combines it with the scalability and many top options of WP and other pro website builders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As with any done-for-you WYSIWYG, you do have limitations as far as how you place items in your design. It's 90% customizable with the coding but once in a while you'll find something you can't do as easily with custom builders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Fast, stable, easy-to-use, responsive, constant improvements, and allows you to build incredible looking and incredibly functional websites with ease! What more could you ask for in a website building platform?!? We love how reliable and fast it is, how easy it is to manage a large group of websites, and that new features and functions are constantly being developed in order to continue improving on what is already an incredible platform.
One of the reasons that we left our old platform (Wix) was that it was not only clunky and much more difficult to use (for us and our clients), but they got stale and outdated, while only focusing on sales instead of improving the platform.
Duda is more focused on creating and continually improving, which is what all good platforms should be focused on!
I like that it's so easy to start a new client with a pre-built, gorgeous template, and have them simply update the text and images to create their own new and beautiful website. The process is so fast and easy, and the clients love it. It used to be really scary for a new client to even think about building out a new website from just a blank page, because they didn't know what to add, where to add it, or even how to add it. Now I have new clients just jump right in and build out their new websites before I even get a chance to "train" them on the system. It's cut our launch time down to almost nothing, and the clients just love that they can easily manage things themselves without any type of training. Our support phone never rings, and we get one or two support emails a month now! It's crazy how much Wix had us chasing our tails and putting out fires! Never again!!!

I thought long and hard on this one, and the one thing that I dislike is that other website building platforms who consider themselves "comparable" or "better" (Wix, Weebly, Squarespace, and all the other wanna-be's out there!) are so far behind Duda, so I just really dislike that Duda hasn't gotten the recognition as an industry leader that it so much deserves. It's got far better tools, creates better websites more easily, and OMG! the support is a zillion times better than what any other website builder company provides.
With such an incredible array of tools and features, including the ability to create your own or plug in any 3rd party add-ons that you might need, what is there to dislike?
Also, unlike the competition, they even have an area for users to suggest ideas and improvements, which none of their competitors have. Their competitors need to take some tips from Duda, and start listening to their users, and making solid and valuable improvements, or more people like me will be heading over to Duda.
One thing that I actually don't like is that when I'm working on a website in mobile mode, it often get's "stuck" (for lack of a better word), and I lose my toolbar at the top, which means that I can't get back to desktop mode or any of the top toolbar functions. So I find that I have to refresh my entire browser page quite a bit when working in mobile mode so that I can get all of the top toolbar functions back again.

Duda fits all of our needs by allowing us to customize website pages/templates. It took about a week for me to build the https://www.mendenhallhomeplace.com/. The website works extremely well and on PCs, laptops, tablets, and cell phones. Page content can be changed in real time which is a time saver. The ecommerce part is easy to setup and change in real time as products or prices may change. Best part the website can be managed by non-technical persons, no need to pay a webmaster. The restore and backup features come in handy when changing items on pages. The really big plus is the great support by the Duda support team! We have only had one issue and it was not with Duda but with GoDaddy. The Duda support team identified our issue and the correction needed for GoDaddy. I would say the Duda support team serves it customers above and beyond expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really have no dislikes or downsides to using Duda. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've worked with wix, wordpress, squarespace - everything and I always hated every one of them. However, Duda was great from the start! A lot of my problems - especially with Wix and Wordpress was that templates were never great and you can't do much to change it to match your own look. Even though I pay every month for my site, its ABSOLUTELY worth it! The freedom to do whatever you want and make it look however you'd like no matter the template without coding is everything I wanted my web hoster to be and Duda is just that! I wasn't paid or promoted to write this review - I simply wrote out of love! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm a product designer, so I give honest feedback about sites and apps. Honestly, I think the hardest part of duda is the learning curve, I found it (and sometimes still do) hard to find certain things and find myself clicking a lot of tabs to find what I want. The other thing is the text. I wish we could do more within the text bar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface is very intuitive, and the templates offer a great starting point. Also, having automatic backups and an SSL certificate included are great features. Duda makes everything very easy, from content creation, media organization, SEO, forms, etc. I can't say enough about how easy it is to use and make great looking websites. Creating the desktop, tablet, and mobile sites simultaneously is a big plus too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can't really think of anything I dislike about Duda. There are a few integrations that I would like them to add, but I can't complain about what they already include. They have added a ton of new features and upgrades this year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Easy to use the drag + drop website builder.
- Nicely designed templates to choose from.
- Affordable monthly website prices and agency plans.
- Organized files and assets.
- The feature where you can download images from a current website and load them into your Duda files is incredibly useful and time-saving.
- Great and thorough customer support via email and phone.
- More design flexibility than many website builders such as Squarespace.
- Significantly easier to use than more custom platforms such as WordPress.
- Nice e-commerce features and easily customizable.
- Thorough data security built into the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- There are not many built-in integrations with other apps such as email marketing, CRM connections with contact forms, membership communities, and online scheduling/courses.
- Sometimes web pages don't display properly online temporarily, even when they are designed properly in the dashboard.
- The royalty-free icons that come with Duda's website builder are not easily searchable by keyword.
- The pricing strategy for the individual costs of their websites and the agency plans are really confusing.
- The support/help articles are mostly text (no images). They're often very vague and don't answer the question I am looking for.
- I haven't found a way to add multiple credit cards to my account so that my clients can pay for their own website subscription.
- Duda's custom-code (that's a different language from what Wordpress uses-- I think?) makes it difficult to find specialized developers who can build more custom websites and software on the platform.
- The analytics feature isn't very sophisticated, so I use Google Analytics for better metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In general, Duda is an intuitive platform that works well for the relative novice while having the capacity to let experts customize. Great value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't have anything in particular that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The design templates and customization! Duda is the perfect medium, allowing you to keep the training wheels on, or completely freestyle the design of your website. It holds the ease of a wix/squarespace without boxing you in whatsoever! The support is quick and helpful, each team member I have worked with is exceedingly personable, and the content suggestions/designs seem to be endless! I am thoroughly impressed with this product and it is well worth the cost. You can see the two websites ive built! www.libertystoragebags.com and www.alcheme.ooo Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have not found anything i "dislike" yet per say. If there was anything I would complain about, it is along the lines of some difficulty in arranging sections, text and images. If photoshop was a completely free canvas, duda can be a bit like microsoft word in terms of the ability to free-move and resize certain elements. With that being said, I can't imagine there is anything else out there that offers such ease in customization. I've used wordpress before... let me tell you this is a whole nother level of ease.

The ease of use and the speed of the site. Plus the templates are beautiful and customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Almost everything is perfect, the only issue I have had is the inability to cloak affiliate links on the site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am relatively new to website creation and Duda as a tool and I have had a lot of questions. The support staff has always been fast to reply and quick with answers or suggestions to keep me moving forward Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a developer and end user there have been a few features or functionality that I expected "out of the box" but not been able to find. In some cases the support team has pointed me in the right direction but in others I have had to add to my list of feature requests, the jury is still out on how quickly those are addressed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DUDA is a forward thinking company. They stay on top of the latest trends in online marketing, which enabled me build a web design business using their user-friendly platform and stellar customer support. I scoured the "www" for a company that keeps its finger on the pulse of the website building industry and I found exactly what I was looking for with DUDA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Their customer service and technical expertise is so useful that sometimes I wish their live chat was available 24/7. But since my biz rarely experiences an overnight "emergency", this wish is really more for my convenience than a necessity. Over all, I have zero strong "dislikes" about DUDA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Duda is the ideal blend of drag-and-drop visual website builder combined with powerful content management features. If you simply begin with the beautiful templates and pre-designed sections, you can design a website that makes you proud and invites people to choose your business over the competition.
Pages load fast and SEO is outstanding.
I LOVE the ability to create pages that support the StoryBrand marketing framework.
the Dynamic Pages features give me the flexibility I need to create theme and variation content and produce more content in less time.
Easily integrates with our CRM and automation platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Managing pages in the admin interface are sometimes challenging depending on the browser. There's a lot packed into the backend that enhances Duda's functionality but the user experience could be improved.
Duda sometimes focuses its development on improvements that are cosmetic rather than functional: We're still waiting for more robust improvement on global CSS when the dev team releases functionality for silly things like animations that are more for entertainment than professional use.
eCommerce functionality could/should be more robust to make this platform best-in-class.
As a template based-system, upgrading a website design could be cumbersome and time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I must stay that I am extremely pleased with the support team. Every operator that I was connected to was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. They took the time to be patient with me and understand my issues. I was at a disadvantage because I am no longer working with my web designer but I was pleasantly surprised that the support team was able to help me make all my changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would like to know if they could help with pasting some code in the header. I was afraid to touch the code. There is phone number to call. A phone number would be helpful. But the chat is very good and they answer right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The thing which I personally like most about it is are the selling points that helps us in making changes and modifications whenever we want. We can also make editing too. I found to be very easy to use tool than other custom platforms such as WordPress. I love the E-commerce features present in it. Also that can be customized so easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing to dislike about Duda. I don't have any serious complaints about it. I found its analytics features to be less sophisticated so I have to rely on Google Analytics for effective matrices. I am sure it will add new advanced and latest features in near future and we will see it more powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of use. No plugin setup, therefor no searching and validating, etc. Seemless WYSIWYG editing between different devices is outstanding. To have a simple website up and running only takes hours compared to days when I used other services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not much! No one is perfect so I give everybody some room to fix what's needed. And that seems to happen quite fast at Duda. But I have actually not experienced that myself, just something I come across when searching community groups on FB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The White Label, & sales resources. I sold twice the websites I could have sold on my own & Duda’s resources gave me the confidence to go in a business with the knowledge that I could help them! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It’s not really a big issue, but the e-commerce options for monogramming could be better. For example. Let’s say a customer chooses a custom monogram option. I think the text field shouldn’t appear unless they have chosen that option. Otherwise some customers put in their text for a monogram & don’t pay for it. However, it’s not a big deal! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that Duda has easy to use website builders, apps, and built-in e-commerce features. This platform is a real game-changer for small businesses that need to get up and running with a quality website. The personalization features are awesome and can be applied to many different types of niches. There is even the option to build your own widget that are most relevant to the niche that you are in. The knowledge base is packed with helpful information. Overall, I love the robust features and ease of use that Duda provides. The upsides of using Duda is that hosting is included with the plans. The website builder integration and the variety of features have been most helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I disliked the fact that getting there isn't a dedicated representative or someone that is available post-sale. I would have liked to have had an onboarding session post purchasing Duda. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
