Duda

I am not a coder, so I find Duda, to be very helpful in designing unique and creative websites. Their pre-built templates help me figure out how to design creative aspects while using a drag-and-drop builder. The extra bonus is that even though I am not a coder, with support's help, I have been able to get into the code and manually change some CSS when necessary to get things to look and function as I wanted.

I am very happy with the product but if I were to have any negative things, I have had to use 3rd party widgets to accomplish what I/my client wanted. Such as Jotform to allow payment within forms. It is very easy to integrate and it works well with Duda but it is an extra cost for my client by using 3rd party widgets. This isn't a make-a-break for me but it is a small hindrance when I have to tell people we have to use multiple software to complete their website goals.

As an agency owner, the white label options enable me to reinforce my brand and company to my clients.

Unlike consumer-oriented website builders, there's no upselling, annoying advertising, or constant attempts to distract me from my work on the technology, services, restaurant, software, and other types of websites we create.

Support is quick and convenient.

I can share site management with my clients, with specific permissions for specific individuals.

Duda features customization and personalization features that should help any local business sell more and become more profitable.

The drag and drop, on-screen editing is delightful. Easier than any consumer-level website builder, far easier than WordPress — and more secure from hacking!

Lack of dynamic page content (Disclaimer—this is a feature that has been publicly announced as under development with no ETA as of this date). As a Joomla expert, I'm accustomed to flexibility with the data and content within my CMS.

Limited functionality for custom social sharing images (if you're a heavy social media user). You can workaround this limitation if you know some basic HTML and aren't afraid to access the code base.

Lack of categories in page creation.

the solution is easy to implement and use. Even those approaching web development for the first time can easily become familiar with the tools and the platform in general. A point in favor is the fact that it is a platform designed for agencies, so all the tools are designed with this in mind.

The web site editor has become heavier, slower and more unstable to use. A few years ago it was a good compromise between potential and ease of use, but over time it has been enriched with functionality at the expense of reliability. Now it presents itself as a slow and clumsy editor. Unexpected behaviors are extremely common. A medium / large site is practically unmanageable on Duda.
Even the support that had been a point in favor has gradually become less effective in solving the continuing problems of the platform.

It was very easy to import my non-mobile site into a mobile friendly version.

It still needed a bit of formatting but that's to be expected.
