Why a Duda website is right for you

Port Douglas Web Designs

If the name Duda doesn’t ring any bells, you aren’t alone. So, what is it?



Duda is one of the most utilised professional website building platforms in the world but the reason you may not have heard of it is that it is used as a white label product meaning many agencies use it but never mention the name “Duda” to anyone or show the Duda branding.

There are plenty of reasons why more than 14 million websites have been built on Duda and in this article we are exploring why a Duda website is right for you.

Choose a Duda website if you aren’t overly tech savvy

If technology isn’t your thing and the idea of having to maintain a website scares you then a Duda website is the right choice.

The system is easy to use, impossible to break (unlike WordPress), allows us to lock any sections that you don’t need to touch, and has no coding skills required. This means that even if you only have basic computer skills, you will still be able to make minor changes to your website without having to pay someone else to do it!


Performance of a Duda website

Duda websites consistently outrank other common website building platforms such as WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, and Webflow for speed, performance, and SEO (search engine optimisation) web vitals. Combine that with the fact that it is secure and has a 99.9% uptime (usually 100%) and you know you are getting a website that is reliable and working for you around the clock.

Considering that google and other search engines take the loading speed of your website into account when determining search results, it’s important that you have a faster-loading website to maximise your chances of being found by potential customers.


Don’t pay hosting until your Duda website is finished

Unlike some website builders, there is no requirement for you to pay your hosting fees until you are ready to launch your website. That means if you end up with a spanner in the works that delays your website design project, you aren’t wasting money on a site that isn’t even live yet!


No hidden ongoing costs with a Duda website

Your Duda website will have a monthly (or annual if you prefer) hosting cost which covers the cost to keep it live on the internet. Other than that, there are no ongoing maintenance costs, security certificate fees, update costs, or any other hidden costs associated with having a Duda website. If you want to know exactly how much your website will cost you to keep, it’s super simple with a Duda website.


Features of a Duda website

Duda websites have a huge range of available features and widgets we can use to create your website. All of the following are possible with your Duda website:

  • Blogs
  • Ecommerce (selling online)
  • Analytics
  • Multilingual
  • Members Only areas
  • Maps
  • Customised forms
  • Menus
  • Online scheduling
  • Popups

On top of the built in features, you can also integrate your other software programs such as:

  • Constant Contact
  • OpenTable
  • Google Calendar
  • Facebook
  • Instagram
  • LinkedIn

  • Snapchat
  • Google Business Profile

  • And More


Having all of these options allows you to offer a more seamless experience for your customers and maximise your conversion rates. No need to download plugins that may or may not work because every widget is purpose built for a Duda website.


A Duda website is mobile-friendly

In a world whee most websites are viewed on mobile devices, if your website isn’t mobile-friendly, it could cost you dearly!

Every Duda website is mobile responsive and offers flexibility to include different features depending on the type of device your website is being viewed with.

When you preview your website design, you can see how your website will look on desktop, tablet, and mobile phone.


To Sum it Up

All of these reasons factored into our decision to exclusively create websites using the Duda platform. We want our clients to have websites that have no hidden or confusing costs, are easy to use behind the scenes, perform exceptionally, are user-friendly at the front end, and offer fantastic functionality. A Duda website offers all of that as well as a visually appealing end result.
