I have been on the Duda platform for about eight years and currently manage a little over 100 sites on it. From an agency perspective, it has been a reliable platform, especially for managing a large volume of client sites efficiently.
When the pricing increased a little over a year ago, it initially felt like a money grab. Over the last year, however, it has been clear that Duda has been reinvesting heavily into the platform. The pace of updates has increased, and some of the newer features, particularly around AI, are genuinely useful and feel thoughtfully implemented.
It is not perfect, but for agencies that need stability, scalability, and a platform that continues to evolve, Duda is worth serious consideration. If you are running an agency with a large number of client sites and want a dependable platform, this is a strong option.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally ditched WordPress for client sites — should have done it years ago
I've been running a digital marketing agency since 2007 and spent much of that time building and managing client sites on Drupal and then WordPress. Plugin updates, security patches, broken themes after updates, hosting headaches — it was a constant drain on time and margin.
We started transitioning to Duda about two years ago and went all-in about six months ago. It's been a game-changer for our agency.
The editor is intuitive, the white-label options are legit, and I can spin up a professional client site in a fraction of the time it took on WordPress. No more babysitting plugins or fielding panicked calls because a site went down after an update. Client sites just work.
But here's the big one — profitability. WordPress eats agency margins alive with maintenance, troubleshooting, and scope creep from "small fixes" that turn into full debugging sessions. With Duda, our build times dropped significantly, our maintenance overhead nearly disappeared, and we actually make money on web projects now instead of treating them as loss leaders for other services.
The team management features, client permissions, and site duplication tools are built for agencies, not bolted on as an afterthought. You can tell this platform was designed by people who understand how agencies actually operate.
Not perfect — there are things I'd love to see improved — but compared to the WordPress treadmill, Duda has been one of the best business decisions we've made.

I wish I'd discovered Duda sooner!
I initially wasn't enthusiastic about using Duda, as I'd been working nearly exclusively with WordPress for years. But one of my partners convinced me to give it a chance, and I'm very glad he did. There was a little bit of a learning curve to overcome, but it's proven to be worth the effort, as Duda's security, ease of customization, and the quality of their support has made the platform our favorite.
I encourage anyone who may be hesitant to dig into a new platform to make Duda their next target... ya'll can thank me later!

I am a small web design agency and have been using Duda for almost 7 years. I am 100% self-taught and I don't believe I could have done that without Duda. The platform is very intuitive and Duda University is a fantastic resource. The Duda community on Facebook is like an extended family, always ready to help. Designing and hosting sites with Duda is exactly the kind of security a small agency needs. I am confident in the knowledge that the sites I build for my clients are secure, fast and always up to date. For small to medium business websites, i can't imagine why people would use anything else.

I have used Duda for the last 7 years
I have used Duda for the last 7 years, first as a website designer for an agency. Then as a business owner for my own marketing agency.
Every website we build is built on Duda. I have used wordpress, wix, squarespace, and webflow and Duda is far superior for MOST agencies (and clients).
IMO they do a great job balancing all the features you need in a website platform, while still keeping it easy to learn, use, and pump out quality sites at scale. You can take someone that knows website design (or even just graphic design), and have them building sites in no-time. You can have account managers make their own quick fixes from client requests. You can have content writers add text directly to the site.
At the same time, you can design some really cool / advanced stuff, especially after the release of editor 2.0. The new editor is fully responsive, control at different break points, scrolling animations, and you can have any custom widget you want by being able to make your own widgets via the widget builder.
Wordpress is simply outdated and clunky, you have to rely on builders and plugins that are all 3rd party. It seems like its still hanging on just because its what everyone has always known.
Wix and Squarespace are decent, but are trying to do way too many things other than being a website CMS. They are good options for new business owners looking to DIY their first website. But I would consider agencies that are selling sites built on these platforms to be somewhat amateur-ish. Not to knock them, I'm sure there are some badass designers using these platforms.
Webflow is far too complex for most businesses needs. Webflow of course offers more site customization, but in turn it has a steeper learning curve. It requires more skilled labor to build the sites, resulting in pricier sites for the end customers, and more bottlenecks for agencies.
That pretty much sums it up. Also their support is great, its always easy to reach a LIVE person and I've pretty much always got my issue resolved. Again I cant say how refreshing it is to reach a LIVE person, QUICKLY, and actually have your request solved.
I have built hundreds of sites on Duda and they are the reason my agency can exist lol!
