Chose Duda
When comparing WIX to Duda, Duda is a breeze. Duda is better in every aspect I can think of from customizing, designing, to hosting. I am proud to use Duda as our website builder, we have built well over 200 different sites on Duda.
Chose Duda
Really good visual editor. Easy to use, predesigned templates and sections that are easy to add and update. White labeling for previewing sites with clients.
Chose Duda
Duda lets me customize the entire page. With Squarespace, many of the templates were limiting on editing the header and footer. Also in the past, I couldn't change the page title and page header to be different in Squarespace. This was not good for SEO. Wix is good but also a …
Chose Duda
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 …
Chose Duda
Much easier for non-tech team members to work on building and maintaining websites. Previous Adobe-based websites clients have been very happy with Duda. Overall, clients can do a lot more on their own, if they choose, than with other website platforms we have used, or that …

Chose Terminalfour Digital Engagement and Web Development Platform
WordPress is obviously a fantastic product. TerminalFour was more appropriate for our needs as determined by a team before my arrival. I think WordPress is better and cheaper but going with TerminalFour offered the opportunity to work with a smaller company to whom we mattered.
Chose Terminalfour Digital Engagement and Web Development Platform
I was not part of the decision process, but I was very happy with the choice to use TerminalFour.

Duda is great for small to medium sized websites building, where some level of animation is ok and mostly for presenting online information, and its SEO performance is very good then. But for very large or heavily interactive websites it may not be the best choice.

It is very good for users because it is simple to use and easy to understand. Although it is nice if users have a background in web design and HTML, it is not necessary in order to make basic updates to a web page

  • It can be a bit buggy with media library management.
  • The html editor can act pretty wonky sometimes with the html it translates things into.
  • The navigation builder tool is pretty confusing.

Usability
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.

Return on Investment
  • Duda has allowed our team to function quicker
  • Duda has allowed us to have more clients
  • Our clients are happier with their sites now

  • Increased employee efficiency.
  • Happier internal customers because changes are much easier than they used to be and we can often empower them to make their own changes to their websites.
  • For our application owner it's become a huge project that consumes all of his time. Not ideal but it's working for now. Knowledge sharing the more intricate pieces can be really difficult.
