Duda is a website builder built for agencies, freelance developers, and small teams that manage more than one client website at a time, with white-label branding, team roles, and client account management built into the platform rather than added on through plugins. It fits web agencies and freelance designers serving Moroccan SMEs, ecosystem organizations building program or cohort microsites, and consultants who need to hand a finished site to a client without maintaining a WordPress stack behind it.
Key features
- Drag-and-drop editor built on flexbox and CSS grid, with a responsive layout generated automatically for mobile from the desktop design
- AI site generation: start a new site from a URL, an uploaded file, or a text prompt, with AI-written SEO metadata and image alt text included
- Custom Widget Builder that creates new page elements and functionality with AI assistance, without writing code
- Team roles and permissions, so agency staff can be added to an account with different levels of access
- Client account management: invite clients with view-only, copy-edit, or full design permissions, share preview links, and collect feedback through in-line comments
- Client billing tools to collect one-time or recurring payments from clients directly through the platform
- Dynamic Pages for generating large batches of location or listing landing pages from one template and a data feed
- Native multilingual publishing with automatic translation tools for building a site in more than one language from a single project
- Built-in ecommerce features, with heavier storefronts commonly extended through the Ecwid integration
- REST API and an app store for connecting outside tools and automating repetitive agency workflows
- Unlimited storage and bandwidth included on every plan
Pricing
Duda prices by tier, with a lower rate for annual billing than monthly. At the time of writing, published plans are:
- Basic: $19/month billed annually ($25 billed monthly). One published site, unlimited storage and bandwidth, 150 monthly AI credits.
- Team: $29/month annually ($39 monthly). Still one published site, but 3 team seats and unlimited client accounts, the entry point once a freelancer starts building for others rather than just one site of their own.
- Agency: $52/month annually ($69 monthly), listed by Duda as its most popular tier. Four published sites, 6 team seats, unlimited client accounts, priority support, and more custom templates and sections.
- White Label: $149/month annually ($199 monthly). Same four sites and six seats as Agency, plus a fully branded editor login, a custom platform domain, and white-labeled client emails and support portal.
- Custom: contact sales. Adds API access, dedicated account management, and compliance features for larger operations.
A 14-day free trial with no credit card required, and a 30-day money-back guarantee, apply across the standard plans. Each tier caps the number of published sites, so an agency running more than four client sites needs to move to Custom or add extra site slots, worth budgeting for before signing up.
Prices change over time. Figures above are based on Duda’s own pricing page (Duda.co/pricing).
Pros and cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| White-label branding, client permission levels, and client billing are native to the platform, not bolted-on workarounds | Published-site limits per tier mean costs climb with client count, which can run higher than flat WordPress hosting for agencies with many small sites |
| No hosting, server, or plugin maintenance to manage across client sites | Design customization is more constrained than a fully coded or WordPress build, and some layouts hit real limits |
| AI site generation and the Widget Builder speed up first drafts on new client projects | Built-in ecommerce is lighter than dedicated platforms, with many stores routed through the Ecwid integration instead |
| Unlimited storage and bandwidth on every plan, so per-site costs stay predictable | Full white-label branding only starts at the $149/month annual tier, a sizeable jump from Team |
| Client-facing preview links and in-line feedback cut down on back-and-forth during revisions | Live chat and screen-share support require the Agency tier or above, Basic is email-only |
Who it’s best for
Duda fits a Moroccan web agency or freelance developer building and maintaining sites for multiple SME clients, an ecosystem organization spinning up program or cohort microsites without a developer on staff, or a diaspora-run studio serving clients on both sides of the Atlantic who wants a branded client dashboard instead of an email chain about hosting renewals. Its client billing and permission tools also suit consultants who manage a site on a client’s behalf after launch, rather than handing over the keys and walking away.
A single founder building one personal or company site should look elsewhere. Duda’s Team and Agency tiers price in multiple seats and client accounts that a solo, single-site user will never touch, and a cheaper single-site builder or a template-based WordPress setup covers that case at a lower monthly cost. The same goes for anyone who needs a fully custom, plugin-heavy build that goes beyond what Duda’s editor and widget system allow.
How to get started
- Go to Duda’s site and start the 14-day free trial, no credit card required
- Choose a starting point: generate a site from a prompt or an uploaded file, or pick a template
- Build and test a first site in the editor before inviting anyone else onto the account
- If the plan is to serve multiple clients, upgrade to the Team or Agency tier before creating the first client account
- On the White Label plan, connect a custom platform domain and set up branded client emails before onboarding clients
FAQ
Does Duda support building a site in more than one language? Yes. Duda includes native multilingual publishing with automatic translation tools, so an agency can publish a client’s site in several languages from a single project. Confirm the specific language pairs supported at build time directly on Duda’s site before committing to a project.
Can Duda replace a WordPress-based agency workflow? It removes hosting, plugin updates, and security patching from the picture, in exchange for a smaller plugin ecosystem than WordPress has. It suits agencies that want fewer moving parts to manage across client sites, not ones that need a highly custom-coded plugin stack.
How many client sites can one Duda account manage? It depends on the plan: one published site on Basic and Team, four on Agency and White Label, and more only on a Custom plan. Cost scales with the number of sites, so it is worth mapping current and near-term client count against the tiers before choosing one.
Does Duda handle ecommerce for a client’s online store? It has built-in store features for straightforward selling, but reviewers note that larger catalogs commonly run through the Ecwid integration instead. Check a client’s catalog size and specific store needs against Duda’s ecommerce documentation before promising a full storefront build.
