Duda vs. Tumblr

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.

Tumblr is very suitable for presentation of free flow information. This includes creating blogs for specific topics or a stream of stories. It is also good for displaying a selection of photos. Tumblr doesn't work very well if you want to categorize your information in multiple sections on the same page.

• Ongoing Education for agencies and users. Anton has done what he does best and turned Duda into a go-to-source for information, ideas, and practical implementation.
• UX - The ability to create simple yet highly customizable sites.
• Speed - Sites take much less time to build and maintain, allowing agencies to scale and business owners to spend more time on growing their core revenue channels.
• Reliability - From technical reliability, reduced down-time to support, Duda is a reliability option.

• Intuitive ease of use. It was easy to set up and get the account running immediately.
• Simplicity. Adding text, pictures and video was easy.
• Look & Feel. For the low maintenance approach we were aiming for, we were surprised that the site actually looked pretty slick.

• Ecommerce can use some improvement--but this should be taken care of in 2023
• A more robust app marketplace
• More custom widgets

• Trigger tags should be a thing - Many people on tumblr are vulnerable to certain content, and it can be hard to avoid it. Maybe some of these tags would help restrict content.
• An in-line gif creator would be pretty cool.
• Verify celebrity accounts. I haven't looked for one in a while, but I remember that being a concern.

Because of its ease of use - both on desktop and mobile - and the perks of being able to schedule a post for future release, Tumblr is a tool that we plan to continue using in the long term. Despite feeling like a primairly one-sided tool, it can also start conversations online, which is something for which we are always striving.

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.

Tumblr is an easy to use tool. If you're looking for a simple platform that isn't complicated Tumblr works well. There are even ways to embed it to a company website.

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 little bulky and glitchy.

Above all else, the fact that Tumblr is free helps. However, I would only use it as a supplementary tool and not the sole tool. We have ultimately settled on MS Teams as the overall platform with potential Tumblr use up in the air in the future. If you're thinking of finding a platform to generate easy discussion and perhaps show others what it's like at your organization, it's worth giving Tumblr a shot. Ultimately, though, Tumblr is not well suited as a full scale communication platform (not that it's trying to be that, anyway).
