Hosts our e-commerce store flawlessly under peak loads. User-friendly for my team, yet powerful enough for custom CSS tweaks. AI insights optimized our meta tags overnight, spiking conversions. Duda's commitment to security and speed makes it trustworthy long-term.
Duda has been my go-to for years, but things are changing fast. Vibe coding is taking off, and Lovable is honestly on a different level right now. Being able to describe an idea and watch the AI build polished, high-end designs in real time makes Duda’s current AI tools feel a step behind.That said, there’s a real trade-off. Duda still dominates when it comes to SEO and Google indexing. Lovable nails the look and feel and the overall UI, but its SEO is a weak spot. Because it’s built as a single-page app, it often struggles with search indexing. Duda, on the other hand, is still the gold standard for getting pages indexed quickly and actually showing up in search results.In the end, whoever wins this space will be the platform that closes that gap. The first company to combine Lovable’s vibe coding and design intelligence with Duda’s SEO and indexing power takes the crown.
I’ve been using Duda to build and manage client websites, and it’s been one of the most dependable platforms in my toolkit. The editor is fast and the responsive controls make it straightforward to dial in layouts across desktop/tablet/mobile without things getting messy. Where Duda really shines for me is the agency-style workflow: client permissions/hand-off is clean, and I can move from build to launch quickly while keeping a consistent process across projects.Performance has also been a strong point - sites generally feel snappy out of the gate, which saves me time compared to builders where speed becomes a constant battle. It’s not perfect (there’s a learning curve if you want to push beyond the basics), but overall it’s a platform I’m comfortable recommending to other freelancers/agencies who need to ship quality sites efficiently.
We have been a Duda agengy for years. It’s reliable and works well for most basic sites. However, Im leaving 3 stars because while the platform is excellent for quick builds and even customization for sites that require more advanced design, they have changed pricing schemes several times for agencies - leaving core api features as part of custom quoted plans that are cost prohibitive. Additionally, the e-commerce native store they added is still not fully usable for any business that needs an api integration - for example data points are missing from the schema. Contacting support is a slow process which involves having to explain even advanced issues to first level support agents multiple times in multiple ways before it is escalated to a developer and even then it’s backlogged or takes weeks to fix. This is a good, reliable platform for your basic sites as an agency but if there were a competitor that built something similar with more open api at the same price I would switch.
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.— Tony Wright, CEO, WrightIMC
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 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.
