Duda’s Site Personalization Just Got a Major Upgrade

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:36:15 GMT

We’ve completely redesigned Duda’s Site Personalization experience to make it easier, faster, and more intuitive to create, manage, and optimize visitor interaction rules across your site. The result is a more productive way to create visitor experiences that can help increase lead generation, engagement, and customer loyalty.

Aside from a total redesign to the UI, we also added some rule settings to improve the overall experience. Here’s what’s new:

Apply a rule across multiple pages

More powerful popup display conditions

For multilingual sites, we’ve added a new language trigger that allows personalization rules to run only for selected site languages.

By default, rules apply to all available site languages, but now you can create more targeted experiences for different audiences directly within the same workflow.

This is especially useful for region-specific promotions, localized announcements, language-specific campaigns, and more.

With this update, you can now target multiple pages within a single rule, making setup significantly faster and easier to maintain.

This is especially useful for promotions that appear across several site pages, site-wide announcements, and more.

We’ve significantly expanded popup behavior controls to help you create smarter and more effective visitor interactions.

Now, you can choose from several different display conditions depending on visitor behavior. You can choose to show it:

Immediately as the user lands on the page
After a delay of X seconds
When the visitor is about to leave
Once the visitor has scrolled X% of the page

In addition, you can choose the position of the popup on the page, giving you more control than before.

Run rules by site language

We’ve added a few new animation effects for special occasions you can use and impress your visitors. New additions include effects for Christmas , pride, birthday, summer and spring, so you can make use of special events throughout the year to get site visitors even more engaged.

More festive effects to catch attention

Easier rule review & management with the new summary panel

Managing personalization rules is now much more streamlined. Clicking a rule in the rules list now opens a dedicated summary view that shows key rule details alongside quick-edit entry points.

This lets you see what's configured and quickly make changes to conditions or targeting.

Simplified publishing workflow

As part of this redesign, we also simplified the publishing experience. From now on, personalization rules will only go live after you save & activate the rule, and after republishing your site.

How to get started

In the editor, click the (...) on the left side panel and select Site Personalization . There, hit the Add Rule button to get started, and the redesigned wizard will take you from there.

We hope these new improvements help you create smarter, more engaging visitor experiences with less setup effort and greater flexibility than ever before. Enjoy.

These new conditions make it easier to trigger exit-intent popups to minimize abandonment, show offers after visitors engage with content, delay messages for a less intrusive experience, and show CTAs at better timing in the visitor journey.

Build Smarter Forms with Conditional Logic in Advanced Forms

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 09:28:20 GMT

We're excited to introduce conditional logic for Duda’s Advanced Form , a powerful new capability that lets you create dynamic forms that adapt in real time based on a visitor's responses.

With the new conditional logic, you can now build forms that respond intelligently to user input, showing only relevant questions and adjusting requirements along the way. The result is a smoother experience for visitors and higher-quality submissions for businesses.

Show the right questions at the right time

Build advanced workflows without code

To begin using the conditional logic in forms, add or open an Advanced Form widget in the editor , click Settings , and navigate to the new Logic tab.

From there, you can create IF / THEN rules, configure how fields should behave, and instantly build smarter forms that adapt to each visitor's journey.

We can't wait to see the smarter form experiences you build with it. If you need any help getting started, visit this support guide .

Conditional logic lets you create IF / THEN rules that control how your form behaves based on previous responses, to better tailor the form experience to each visitor and increase completion rates.

For example, a service provider can ask visitors which service they're interested in and then display a unique set of follow-up questions for each option. Or, a business collecting leads can ask qualification questions only when they're needed, while keeping the form shorter for everyone else.

By reducing clutter and focusing visitors on what's relevant, forms become easier to complete and more effective at capturing valuable information.

Conditional logic is designed to be powerful, yet simple to use.

A new Logic tab has been added to the Advanced Form settings area, where you can visually create and manage rules without writing a single line of code.

In this update, the conditional logic supports 4 main actions:

Show a field
Hide a field
Make a field required
Make a field optional

These actions are supported across all field types available in Advanced Forms, giving you the flexibility to create a wide variety of personalized form experiences.

Get started with conditional logic

Generate Images with AI Directly in the Editor

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 09:41:48 GMT

Finding the right image for a site can be time-consuming, especially when searching stock libraries, switching between tools, and trying to match a client's vision. That's why we're excited to introduce a new AI-powered image generation capability built directly into the Duda editor.

You can now generate custom images with AI from the places where you already manage site visuals, without leaving your workflow. Whether you're updating a section background, replacing an image widget, or building a new page, creating the perfect image is now just a prompt away.

Generate images wherever you work with images

Create unique visuals for any client

Image generation doesn't stop after the first result. Once an image is generated, you can edit the prompt to regenerate it with your changes, regenerate new variations, or reset and start over with a fresh concept.

This iterative workflow makes it easy to experiment with different ideas and quickly arrive at a visual that fits the design perfectly.

The new image generation option is now available across the editor's core image management experiences, including:

Image widget
Background images
Media panel
Media manager
Image settings
Advanced Accordion widget
List widget

And others… Simply click the image generation icon, describe what you're looking for in the chat box, and let AI create it for you. For example, you can enter a prompt like:

"Create an image of a veterinary doctor looking intently into the eyes of a cute golden retriever."

Within seconds, you'll receive a custom image tailored to your description and ready to use on the site.

Need a modern coworking space for a startup website? A local bakery owner arranging fresh pastries? A luxury spa treatment room? Just describe the scene, style, or subject, and AI will generate original visuals that match your needs.

This gives you more creative flexibility while helping you build sites faster and with fewer compromises.

Refine results until they're just right

By bringing AI image generation directly into the editor, you can spend less time searching for assets and more time building beautiful sites. To get started, open any supported image management area in the editor and hit the image generation icon. Enter a description of the image you'd like to create, generate your image, and add it directly to your site.

We can't wait to see the unique visuals you create and how they'll help bring your clients' stories to life.

Faster design workflows, better results

AI-Populated Templates Just Got Better

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 08:22:40 GMT

Automatic meta tag generation

Each generated site now includes meta titles and descriptions, giving you a stronger SEO starting point right from the start.

We’ve introduced several improvements to the option to populate templates with AI generated content , to make site generation even smoother, smarter, and more flexible.

Here’s what’s new.

You’re no longer tied to the generation screen. Feel free to navigate away while your site is being created in the background, and we’ll let you know once it’s ready.

SSO flow with preselected templates

Custom plan accounts can now streamline their workflows by directing users into site generation with a predefined template already selected, or by offering the option to populate templates as DIY by taking clients directly into the wizard.

Here’s how to set it up . And if you want an even easier way to implement, use our MCP Server documentation.

Leave & do something else while the site is generating

These updates help you move faster from template to publish-ready site, with better SEO foundations and a more seamless workflow. Go on to build (and generate) great sites!

Duda's Monthly Wrap Up - May

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:02:52 GMT

This post is part of our Monthly Wrap Up series - a collection of small product and feature improvements we’ve released in the past month. All updates mentioned below are available in Editor 2.0.

You can now export Copilot data into downloadable files, making it easier to organize, share, and work with your business information outside the platform. Whether it’s form submissions, store orders or booking details, Copilot now supports exporting data in CSV, Markdown (MD), and TXT formats for added flexibility and convenience.

This can help you up your data analysis, record keeping, and collaboration workflows by giving you quick access to your data in the format that works for you.

That's it for these Monthly Wrap Up updates. See you again next time :)

Export your Copilot data in just a few clicks

Duda eCommerce now gives your clients more control over how customers check out in their online store. They can choose between:

Allowing all checkout types (customer sign in, signup, or continue as guest)
Allowing guest checkout only

This helps businesses tailor the checkout flow to their needs, whether they want to encourage account creation and repeat purchases or reduce friction with a faster guest-only checkout experience.

Customize your store’s checkout experience

Review and organize complex layers on the canvas faster

We’ve added a new toggle button to the top of the Layers panel that lets you instantly expand or collapse your entire layer hierarchy with a single click . Instead of manually opening layers one by one when working on complex page structures, you can now quickly reveal all layers and sub-layers or reset the panel back to section level in seconds.

Duda’s Site Audit tool will now automatically flag blog posts that are missing meta titles or descriptions, helping you quickly identify SEO gaps across your site. You’ll also get a direct link to edit and fix the missing meta tags right away, making optimization faster and more efficient.

This makes it easier to maintain strong SEO best practices across blog content, improve search visibility, and ensure important pages are fully optimized without manually checking every post.

Spot missing blog meta tags with Site Audit

Find matching icons faster with “More like this”

This update makes it much easier to review, navigate, and organize large page structures while keeping your Layers panel clean and manageable. It also builds on the panel’s existing smart behavior, which automatically expands relevant parent layers and remembers your preferred expand/collapse state across sessions.

We’ve added a smarter way to discover consistent icon styles in the Media Manager when browsing stock icons. See an icon you like? Hover over the magnifying glass to see “More like this,” and instantly view a collection of similar icons you can choose from.

This will make it easier to maintain a cohesive site design, speed up the icon selection process, and quickly find visually related icons without starting a new search from scratch.

Improve order management with a new “Processing” fulfillment status

Duda eCommerce now includes a new optional fulfillment status: Processing . This means your eComm clients can use it to mark orders that are actively being prepared before they’re fulfilled, helping their teams better manage and track fulfillment workflows internally.

This update gives more flexibility in how your clients handle orders while also improving communication with customers through a new notification email sent when an order enters the Processing stage (store owners can still move orders directly from Unfulfilled to Fulfilled if they prefer a simpler workflow).

Keep orders and discounts aligned with your business timezone

eComm clients can now configure their business timezone directly from Business Settings → Business Profile , making it easier to manage time-sensitive store operations with greater accuracy and consistency.

Once set, order timestamps in the store’s dashboard will automatically display according to the selected business timezone. This timezone will also apply to discount start and end dates, helping store owners ensure promotions and order activity align with their local business hours .

Widget Library: A Faster Way to Discover, Add & Modify Ready-Made Widgets

Wed, 20 May 2026 12:00:35 GMT

We’re gradually rolling out the new widget library , a faster, easier way to discover ready-made widgets and add functionality to your sites without starting from scratch.

Instead of beginning with a prompt, you can now browse a growing collection of developed widgets, preview what they do, and instantly add them to your account. Whether you want to move faster with Copilot or simply install widgets directly, the new experience helps you get to value quicker.

Browse, preview, and find the right widget faster

The new widget library experience includes search and category filters, making it easier to discover widgets across the dashboard, editor, and the + Add panel. You can search by widget name or description, filter by categories, and open a dedicated view to preview each widget before using it.

Remix or install in a click

If you have Copilot permissions, you’ll see a new Remix option that sends the widget into your account and takes you directly into the widget builder to customize it further, and publish when ready.

Users without Copilot permissions will instead see an Install option, making it easy to add the widget directly and start using it right away.

This is currently available in all account plans.

To get started, open the widget library, browse or search for a widget, preview its details, and choose Remix or Install depending on your user permissions.

The revamped Widget Builder combines real-time previews, faster AI iterations, automatic image generation, and a redesigned interface to turn creative ideas into production-ready widgets faster than ever.

Duda Bookings: Set Auto-Reminders, Add Multiple Participants and More

Mon, 18 May 2026 09:40:13 GMT

We’ve rolled out a set of updates to Duda’s native Bookings feature, giving your clients and their business more control over how appointments are offered, booked, and managed.

These updates are designed to support more real-world scheduling scenarios, from multi-staff teams and multiple services to group sessions and smarter reminders.

Reduce no-shows and keep customers informed with automated email and SMS reminders. These will be sent to the person who booked the appointment and any additional participants.

Reminders can be scheduled for:

24 hours before
4 hours before
1 hour before the appointment

You can choose one or multiple reminder times, ensuring customers never miss an upcoming booking.

Let site visitors choose who to book

Now, when site visitors place a booking, they can choose a specific staff member they prefer out of several giving that appointment, or select the next available staff member based on their chosen date and time. For example, customers can select their favorite barber or beautician when making a booking.

This Bookings widget setting makes it easy for businesses like salons, clinics, or consultancies to manage shared services while giving customers more choice and faster availability.

Set up automated email & SMS reminders prior to an appointment

Let visitors choose an appointment or service out of several

You can now add multiple services to a single Bookings widget. This means that instead of creating separate widgets for each appointment type, your clients can now add a service selection step to the booking process.

For example, a beauty salon can let visitors choose between a manicure, facial, or massage, helping to streamline setup and improve the booking experience.

Offer group appointments with multiple participants

Bookings now supports appointments with multiple participants, making it easy to offer group meetings like:

Fitness classes, workshops, or training sessions
Webinars, seminars, or group consultations
Open house events or tours
Small-group lessons or coaching sessions
Any appointment where capacity is limited but more than one guest can join

Simply set the number of available seats per appointment type, and customers can book until the max capacity is reached.

Want to set up a one-time group session like a webinar, a workshop or a property showing? No problem. Just remember to adjust the availability or limits accordingly.

To learn more about setting up multi-participant appointments, visit this guide .

A scheduling solution built for real businesses

Together, these updates make Duda Bookings more powerful, flexible, and scalable, to help you manage bookings more efficiently while delivering a smoother experience for your clients' customers. Plus, with the ever-growing collection of Duda’s templates with Bookings, explore an even easier way to create beautiful converting sites with this feature built-in.

Want to try Duda Bookings before committing to a site upgrade? Add this paid feature to your site for free and start accepting booking from prospective customers through August 31, 2026. Please note: this offer does not include charging customers for appointments. Learn more here .

Edit Connected Data Directly On the Canvas

Tue, 12 May 2026 08:28:41 GMT

We’re excited to share our recent improvement, the ability to edit connected data - connected text and images - right on the canvas, a new way to update dynamic content without ever leaving your design environment.

Edit without interruptions

Consistent design, everywhere

With fewer steps required to update connected data, you can manage even large, data-driven sites more efficiently. The result is a faster, more seamless way to keep content accurate, consistent, and live.

You can now modify connected text and images directly from the canvas. This keeps your workflow smooth and design-first, even when working with dynamic content. Just keep in mind that any such edits you make to connected text and images on the canvas also update the data source their connected to (e.g. a collection or your Content Library).

We’ve also synchronized the design settings with your data changes on the canvas, to ensure that what you see while editing content perfectly matches your canvas, down to typography and spacing, to eliminate any unexpected design discrepancies.

Faster content updates at scale

We hope you find this update useful as it helps you manage dynamic, data-heavy sites smoother and more intuitive.

Duda's Monthly Wrap Up - April

Wed, 06 May 2026 07:38:36 GMT

This post is part of our Monthly Wrap Up series - a collection of small product and feature improvements we’ve released in the past month. All updates mentioned below are available in Editor 2.0.

The new Plan mode in Copilot when generating custom widgets is a new way to brainstorm, structure, and refine your ideas before jumping into execution while helping Copilot produce better results faster. By gathering the full context up front and asking clarifying questions before making changes, Copilot can get you closer to what you want with fewer iterations or edits later.

That's it for these Monthly Wrap Up updates. See you again next time :)

Plan smarter your custom widget generation with Copilot’s new Plan mode

You can now control exactly how many collection items appear in each row of your Dynamic Repeater.

The new i tems per row dropdown option in the Dynamic Repeater’s design panel (under Layout) lets you define your own structure (up to 10 items per row), with automatic wrapping for remaining items. Plus, incomplete rows can now stretch to fill the available width, giving you more balanced, flexible, and fully customized layouts.

Browse and manage your custom widgets

In the + Add panel, we added a new Custom category under Elements to give you a centralized place to manage all your custom widgets (site widget and reusable account widgets). From here, you and your team can easily view the widgets available for your site and quickly reuse them across pages.

Generate Blog Post SEO Metadata in Bulk with AI

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 14:15:33 GMT

Discover a new and easy way to review and generate post SEO metadata in bulk, making it faster and easier to improve your blog’s visibility in search and AI-driven experiences.

A centralized view for all your blog metadata

Generate, review, and refine in bulk

Located under the SEO/AEO section in your site dashboard, the Blog SEO screen gives you a complete view of your published and unpublished posts, along with their current title tags and meta descriptions. This makes it easy to quickly spot gaps, inconsistencies, or missing metadata across your blog.

With just a few clicks, you can generate title tags and meta descriptions for multiple posts at once. Want it more hands-on? You can always generate a single field, either the title tag or the meta description per post.

Before anything goes live, you’ll go through a review step where you can:

Edit AI-generated suggestions
Discard any changes
Save only what you need

This ensures your metadata stays accurate, on-brand, and aligned with your SEO strategy.

Meta tags are automatically generated in the site’s default language for each blog post (based on the post’s title), so you can keep everything consistent. You’ll also get character-length guidance to help you stay within SEO best practices and maximize impact in search results.

How to get started

To begin, head to SEO/AEO → Blog SEO , hit the Generate Meta Tags button , choose which posts you want to generate the SEO tags for and see the magic right on the spot.

Next, review the suggestions and save your changes. In just a few minutes you can optimize dozens of blog posts and improve your site’s discoverability at scale.

This update helps you turn blog SEO from a tedious task into a quick, streamlined workflow, so more of your content goes live fully optimized.

Did you know you can generate posts with AI?

Just in case you missed it, we recently announced our new blog post generation feature, which lets you create a full-length post with images based on a simple textual description. To learn more about this and other recent SEO/AEO updates, check out this post.

Duda University is Now Duda Academy: A Smarter Way to Learn

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 22:36:04 GMT

Earlier this month, Duda University officially evolved into Duda Academy , bringing with it a new name, a fresh look, and a completely upgraded learning experience powered by the Sana platform. Behind the scenes, this move gives us a more modern and flexible foundation so we can deliver you and your team a faster, smarter way to learn and leverage Duda.

Smarter learning, powered by AI

With Duda Academy, you can now take advantage of AI-powered search and chat to quickly find the content you need, or simply ask a question and get a clear answer with cited sources. On top of that, AI tutoring within courses provides helpful, context-aware guidance based on where you are in your learning journey, making it easier to understand concepts without ever leaving the course.

More personalized & more efficient

The new Duda Academy experience also brings personalized recommendations, improved progress tracking, and new tools that give you better visibility into your learning. At the same time, it helps agency teams guide and scale training more effectively. Altogether, these improvements mean less time searching for answers and a more intuitive, impactful learning experience.

We invite you to stop by academy.duda.co and log in to explore the new platform. Maybe even squeeze in a quick 15-minute course to sharpen a new design skill (hint, hint ��).

One quick note: if you access Duda Academy from your account’s top toolbar, you’ll be taken straight to the login page where your courses take place. The login process itself is exactly the same as it was before.

Winning Content and SEO/AEO Visibility with Duda

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 12:00:46 GMT

Search visibility is evolving quickly. It’s not just about ranking in Google’s blue links anymore. AI-powered answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews are now major drivers of discovery.

Across both traditional search and AI-driven results, one principle is becoming clear. Visibility depends on having enough high-quality, useful content . For agencies managing multiple clients, the real challenge is not understanding this shift, but scaling it.

The foundation: more content drives visibility

The reality: creating content at scale is difficult

Once content exists, its relevance becomes the next challenge. AI models and modern search systems show a strong preference for recent and updated information .

A recent Ahref study shows that large language models consistently prioritize newly published or refreshed content. In the study, they concluded that AI assistants cite content that is ~25% fresher than traditional search results . Older content does not just plateau in performance, it gradually loses visibility.

In addition, some analyses suggest that recently updated content, especially within the last few months , is significantly more likely to be cited by AI systems ( source ).

This means freshness is no longer a competitive edge. It is a baseline requirement for both SEO and AEO.

Recent data, including Duda’s own research, highlights how strongly content volume impacts performance. Sites with blogs see about 253% more traffic from crawlers than those without . When content scales further, the impact becomes even more dramatic. Sites with more than 50 blog posts receive up to 3,200% more crawler visits than sites with no blog at all .

This matters because crawling is the gateway to visibility. The more a site is crawled, the more opportunities it has to be indexed, cited, and surfaced in both search results and AI-generated answers. Blogs remain one of the most effective and scalable ways to build this content foundation.

While the value of content is clear, producing it consistently is not. Agencies face constant pressure to deliver high-quality blog posts, maintain publishing schedules, and do it across dozens or even hundreds of client sites.

Content production quickly becomes time-consuming and expensive. Even when a strong content foundation is in place, the work does not stop there.

Freshness is now a requirement, not an advantage

The growing gap for agencies

Agencies like yours are now expected to do two things at once. You need to create enough content to establish visibility, and also to continuously update that content to maintain it.

Doing both efficiently and at scale is where most workflows begin to break down. This is exactly the gap Duda’s latest updates are designed to address.

Introducing AI-generated, full-length blog posts (beta)

Duda’s new AI blog generation feature is built to help agencies create content faster without sacrificing quality. With just a few inputs, you can generate complete, publish-ready blog posts that include both text and relevant images.

This makes it significantly easier to launch blogs for sites that do not yet have one, build a strong content foundation quickly, and maintain consistent publishing over time. It also reduces the operational cost of content creation, allowing teams to scale their efforts across more clients.

Getting started is simple. Navigate to your site’s blog, click New Post and select the option to draft a post with AI. Describe the post's topic, set your preferences, and you'll get a full drafted post with content and images ready for your review.

Smarter insights with the Blog Content Freshness theme

Creating content is only part of the equation. Knowing when content needs attention is just as important.

To support this, Duda has introduced a new theme within Site Audit (previously known as SEO Overview). The Blog Content Freshness theme helps identify issues that impact both SEO and AEO performance.

The site audit tool now flags:

No blog on the site → Encourages adding a blog to establish content authority
Site has blog but no posts → Prompts you to create and publish your first post
Outdated content (3–10 months old) → Signals posts should be updated and republished
Low publishing frequency → Encourages steady, consistent content creation

Each issue includes a direct link to fix it, making optimization faster and easier at scale.

Expanding local visibility with the Area Served schema field

In addition to content-focused improvements, Duda has introduced support for the Area Served schema field within the Content Library’s Business Info section.

This allows agencies to define the geographic areas a business serves, whether that is a specific city, region, or broader service area. This is particularly valuable for service-based businesses that do not operate from a traditional storefront but still need to appear in local search and AI-driven results.

What this update supports:

Hybrid businesses: Show both a physical address and service areas
Service-area-only businesses : Optionally hide the location’s street, postal code, and geo coordinates from site schema while displaying coverage areas

Looking ahead

Search is shifting from static rankings to dynamic answers. As this shift continues, success will depend on two key factors: building enough content to be discoverable and keeping that content fresh to remain relevant.

With these updates and the ones we have planned for the near future, Duda is helping your agency meet both demands more efficiently and at scale.

Boost Growth with Duda eCommerce: Insights, Incentives and Enhancements

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 12:59:43 GMT

We’ve rolled out a powerful set of updates to Duda’s Native eCommerce to help your clients sell more, streamline operations and gain greater control over their online store.

From built-in performance stats and smarter shipping configurations to workflow improvements and digital product controls, these enhancements are designed to increase revenue, improve Average Order Value (AOV) and simplify day-to-day store management.

Let’s dive in.

You and your eCommerce clients can now view key performance metrics directly from the Orders dashboard for a quick, actionable overview of store performance.

Available metrics include:

Revenue (sales)
Number of orders (for the selected timeframe)
Average order value (AOV), calculated automatically as sales divided by orders number

These new performance stats make it easier to monitor revenue trends, track order volume and make faster, data-driven decisions.

Use a free shipping progress bar to increase sales

This feature shows customers a message in their cart letting them know how much more they need to spend to get free shipping.

Free shipping is one of the strongest purchase motivators, but customers often don’t realize how close they are to reaching it. By making the threshold visible, this update encourages upsells, increases cart value, adds clarity and helps boost overall conversion rates.

Store stats: A clear snapshot of performance

Shipping by price: Flexible, threshold-based shipping

We’ve enhanced shipping settings with a new Rate by Price option, making it easier to create threshold-based shipping rules.

Your eCommerce clients can now set:

Free shipping above a minimum order value
Flat shipping rates based on order value
Structured price ranges with a final “And up” tier

So, depending on the customer’s total order value, they’ll see only one shipping rate at checkout based on the rules you set, for example:

$10 shipping on orders below $100
Free shipping on orders over $100

This added flexibility allows you to configure shipping exactly how your clients need it.

Print a full order summary

Your eCommerce clients can now print a complete order summary directly from the Order Details page in the store dashboard.

How this differs from packing slips

While packing slips focus on fulfillment details, the new Print Order option includes a full financial breakdown:

Itemized pricing
Taxes
Shipping costs
Discounts
Final totals
Complete order summary

Many merchants rely on printed summaries for bookkeeping, reconciliation, manual processing or in-store operations. This update supports those real operational needs.

Greater control over customer emails

We’ve expanded the settings for automated store emails, giving merchants more flexibility over who receives them.

Your eCommerce clients can now choose between:

Customers only - Order confirmations, shipping updates, invoices and other notifications are sent only to customers.
Customers and selected team members - Customers receive emails, and designated team members receive a copy.
No one - Disables all automated order emails for stores. Recommended only for when using third-party email services.

To find these settings, go to your site dashboard and hit the Customer Emails tab.

This added control ensures email notifications align with existing workflows rather than forcing operational changes.

Control digital product download expiration

We’ve introduced a new way for you and your eComm clients to set an expiration policy to digital product access, from the digital product settings in the catalog.

Store owners can choose between*:

No expiration — download links remain valid indefinitely
Expire after X days — set a custom validity period

*By default, download links are set to expire after 30 days but you’re free to change that of course.

Once saved, the selected policy will apply automatically to all future digital orders, so no product-level configuration is required. Customers will also see a note in their order email indicating how long their download link remains available .

Delete abandoned carts individually or in bulk

Your eCommerce clients can now clear a single abandoned cart or bulk delete multiple abandoned carts in one action.

This helps merchants focus on relevant recovery opportunities, remove outdated or test carts and keep their dashboard clean and organized.

SKU now included in customer communication

Products’ SKUs now appear in order confirmation emails, other related order emails sent to customers, and of course invoices. This improves eComm businesses’ operation and documentation.

Add a date & time picker to your checkout

We have introduced a date & time picker field you can add to your checkout, giving your store owner clients more flexibility to collect structured scheduling information.

When does it make sense to ask customers for this?

Delivery date and time selection
Pickup scheduling
Birthday collection

Instead of relying on manual follow-ups or unclear order notes, you can now collect accurate scheduling data directly at checkout. This reduces errors and improves the customer experience overall.

That’s it for this feature-heavy round of Duda eComm updates. We’re excited to see how you use these new tools to boost revenue, streamline operations and deliver even better eCommerce experiences. To catch up on all our recent store updates, visit the eCommerce update category page .

Turn Any Template into a Client-Ready Site with AI Content

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 07:57:58 GMT

How it works (or here comes the magic!)

Duda’s AI looks at your existing Duda or custom template to understand its pages and widgets, then generates content to fit the layout. The structure stays the same, so no pages are added or removed. Page names may change slightly to better reflect the business.

Meet our latest AI update: you can now generate fully populated websites from any Duda or custom template . We'll keep the original structure and layout exactly as designed, while replacing the placeholder content with business-specific text, images, and icons based on the information you provide.

The result is scalable website generation with consistent quality and full brand control.

We recommend using supported widgets and to structure your templates with Site Theme settings so colors and styles update predictably.

Also, consider connecting logos and business information through Connected Data to keep everything consistent. The AI won’t modify Dynamic Pages or Connected Data. It won’t generate store products or blog posts during the initial site creation, but you can add them later through Copilot or Duda’s APIs.

We recommend using placeholder content in widgets to guide AI on what content to generate. Learn more best practices here .

What gets populated

We support the most common widgets like Text, Image, Icons, Galleries, Sliders, Accordions and more. If your template includes unsupported widgets, we'll skip them without breaking your site. Custom widgets generally stay untouched internally, though we may generate surrounding text.

Provide content instructions

Use the optional content instructions field in the populate content flow to guide the tone, highlight unique selling points, control imagery, and define any limitations or restrictions. This ensures the output aligns with the brand and industry standards.

Here's an example:

Images should be scenic only, with no people visible (no faces, bodies, hands, reflections, or silhouettes). Set the scene in Bora Bora with a luxurious tropical vibe: overwater bungalows, turquoise lagoon, white-sand beaches, palm trees, coral reefs, and dramatic sunset/golden-hour lighting. Keep the imagery bright, clean, and aspirational, like a high-end travel brochure.

Scroll down for more recommendations on how to set up your own custom templates for this flow.

Built for business growth

This new capability can be used in the Duda platform or made even more powerful by leveraging it via API.

For SaaS companies, this turns websites into a growth lever . Integrated websites can reduce churn by up to 25% by keeping customers inside your ecosystem. Automated onboarding can increase adoption by up to 200% by accelerating time to value. At the same time, 88% of SMBs want SaaS-integrated websites, but only 11% receive them from their vendor. This represents a significant untapped opportunity .

Because every site is built on a controlled template foundation, accessibility, SEO best practices, and performance standards remain consistent.

Tips to get the best results with custom templates

Streamline content population and many other workflows with API

This update lets you get the speed of AI website generation with the control of structured templates. With the Custom plan , you can leverage APIs to fully automate this and many other site creation and editing workflows. If your agency or business could use that scaling uplift, let’s talk .

We invite you to discover a new way to automate website creation and deliver personalized sites at scale. And stay tuned, because even more enhancements are on the way.

Duda's Top Toolbar Gets a Cleaner, Smarter Redesign

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 10:32:56 GMT

We’re introducing a refreshed top toolbar across the Site List and Editor to create a cleaner, more focused building experience. We’re gradually rolling out this update over the next few weeks.

The update simplifies navigation, makes key actions easier to find, and keeps core features right where you expect them.

For a quick walkthrough of what’s changing, watch this video:

What’s new

A cleaner, more modern toolbar with descriptive drop-down menus to help you find what you need faster
A new hamburger menu for your site dashboard, resources and account items
Improved account and navigation menus
A dedicated Share button in the editor toolbar
One consistent toolbar experience across editor modes, including dark mode

Please note that we're gradually rolling this out to all accounts .

If you’ve customized the top toolbar using HTML or CSS, get in touch with support to help transitioning those customizations.

We hope you find this refresh useful, and will help you focus on what really matters - building great sites for your clients.

Introducing the Revamped Widget Builder: Faster, Smarter, and AI-Ready

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 09:50:29 GMT

Duda's Widget Builder is redesigned to help you build custom widgets faster and bring your ideas to life. Think of it as Widget Builder 2.0 more intuitive interface built for how modern vibe coders and developers actually work (fast, visual, and iterative).

See your work come to life instantly

The new Widget Builder puts your work front and center with a side-by-side layout that shows your widget preview in real time as you generate and refine it. No guessing, no back-and-forth, just instant visual feedback.

Skip the image placeholders, get AI-generated images in your widgets

Say goodbye to grey placeholders. The Widget Builder now automatically generates default images for your widgets, giving you polished results from the start.

An easier way to validate before you deploy

Test widgets directly in the editor with real context (collection data, store catalog, or Site Theme styling) before publishing. Validate layouts, spacing, and usability without deploying first.

Show, don't tell, with visual references

Paste images directly into the conversation box, or upload and drag-and-drop multiple images at once, to give Copilot better visual context with references .

Want to publish and reuse an unlimited number of custom widgets? Let’s talk.

We'd love for you to join Duda’s upcoming webinar on vibe coding on March 24. It's a great insider's view of vibe coding if you're new to it or already using AI to build apps and sites. Plus, it's the perfect opportunity to learn how to scale your website production while still providing rich digital experiences.

4 eComm Updates for Faster & Smarter Product Management

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 10:45:19 GMT

Managing products at scale means moving quickly, staying organized, and giving shoppers a clear buying experience. To help your eComm clients do just that, we’ve rolled out several updates to Duda’s eCommerce product catalog.

These will make it easier to manage product variations, update pricing, inventory, and product status in bulk, streamline shipping workflows, and move faster while editing products.

Here’s what’s new.

Text-only color names can be vague for shoppers. With this update, your eComm clients can now define a product option as an actual HEX color (e.g. #F2F2F2) and display it visually on the product page as a color swatch.

eComm clients can select any color they want when setting up product options, and store visitors will see those options as clickable color swatches alongside the label. The selected color is clearly highlighted and comes together with the color name, making it easier for customers to make their selection.

Your clients can even convert existing textual color names to color selection!

Update product prices, inventory, and status right from the catalog list

Say goodbye to opening products one by one just to make simple updates. You can now edit prices, inventory, and product status directly from the main product catalog list .

Whether you’re adjusting a single item or updating multiple products at once, changes can be made inline, saving time and clicks. For pricing, your eComm clients can also override existing prices or quickly add or subtract amounts, making promotions and adjustments much faster to manage.

We’ve also added a new inventory column to the catalog view to show a summary, so stock levels are always visible and easy to update at a glance.

Use color swatches for product options

Easily manage shipping data in bulk with enhanced CSV support

For your eComm clients using shipping dimensions in the catalog (with or without Easyship), we’ve extended the product CSV export and import functionality to support more shipping-related fields, to make bulk updates and external workflows a lot easier.

When Easyship is connected:

Product exports now include package weight and dimensions (height, width, length)
HS codes are included for relevant products
CSV imports support updating all of these fields in bulk

Plus a little bonus : the shipping dimensions provided in the CSV import also make it easier to migrate stores from other platforms into Duda!

This improvement helps your eComm clients keep shipping data accurate, aligned, and easy to manage, especially when working across systems or updating large catalogs.

Workflows with more focus: Quickly navigate between products in your catalog

Editing multiple products is now a lot smoother with this update: when working on a certain product’s settings page, you or your eComm clients can now use the handy Next and Previous arrows to move between products instantly.

This is especially ideal for:

Editing multiple products in a row
Reviewing pricing, inventory, images, or descriptions
Performing quick QA without returning to the product list each time

The result is a faster, more focused editing experience, especially for larger catalogs.

Whether you’re managing variations, updating inventory, handling shipping data, or reviewing products in bulk, these improvements help reduce friction at every step.

We’re excited to see how these updates help you manage your store more efficiently, and we’re just getting started - stay tuned for more eComm updates coming real soon.

This is especially helpful for stores selling products with multiple color variations and for anyone looking to create a more intuitive, visual shopping experience.

Pro tip: Upload images for each color variation so they display automatically when customers select a swatch.

Color options also integrate with existing filter and sort functionality, so store visitors can browse by color just as easily.

Goodbye Repetitive Design, Hello Dynamic Repeater

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 10:25:21 GMT

Building product grids, service or event listings? The new Dynamic Repeater (beta) in Editor 2.0 lets you design once and auto-populate cards from your collection data. No more copying, pasting, or manually syncing changes, just faster, cleaner layouts that scale with your content.

What it does

How it works

Whether you're showing just a few or many items, the Dynamic Repeater handles it with ease. Use this tool to showcase most kinds of list items, like:

Service offerings – Consistent service cards
Event listings – Dates, images, registration links
Team pages – Staff bios with photos
Location directories – Multiple offices or properties

In addition, you can use the Dynamic Repeater as a new and improved way to display Dynamic Pages within the site - if you've used Dynamic Pages before, this will feel familiar. It's the same data-driven approach, now available for flexible layouts.

Getting Started

Find it in Editor 2.0 > Widgets > Layout Elements . Drag it onto the canvas, style your template, and populate the collection.

The Dynamic Repeater is a collection-powered layout tool. You design a single card template, and it generates as many copies as you need, with each item pulling unique content from a different collection row. Update the design once, and every card updates instantly. Change a font, add a widget, or adjust spacing, and it syncs everywhere automatically.

Drop a Dynamic Repeater onto your canvas, and it creates a collection automatically. Each card connects to one row of data and comes with a default setup:

Image
Title
Body text
Button

Customize these freely and link them to any collection fields you want. To update the content, just edit the collection. Add a row, and a new card appears. Change a field, and it updates across your site.

Built to engage, easy to scale

A few notes

The Dynamic Repeater is still in beta : This means we're still refining it and working to make it the best it can be.

Switching collections: If you connect to a different collection, you'll need to manually relink each card element to the new data.

Using widgets: Widgets that support collection data must be manually connected. Widgets that don't, will appear as static visuals across all cards.

Availability: The Dynamic Repeater is available with the Agency account plan and up.

To learn more about the Dynamic Repeater, how to set it up with a new collection or how to add widgets to it, consult this handy support guide .

The Dynamic Repeater brings collection power into your design workflow, making it easier to build flexible, scalable layouts without sacrificing speed or control.

We can't wait to see what you build with it.

Duda's Monthly Wrap Up (Jan)

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 09:31:03 GMT

This post is part of our Monthly Wrap Up series - a collection of small product and feature improvements we’ve released in the past month. All updates mentioned below are available in Editor 2.0.

You can now add a file upload field to your Advanced Form, allowing visitors to upload multiple files at once , including photos, CVs, PDFs, and other documents, so you can collect everything you need upfront, and streamline interactions with customers and prospects.

That's it for these Monthly Wrap Up updates. See you again next time :)

Advanced Form gets a new element: file uploader

When you go to the SEO > Page SEO section in your site dashboard and hit the Import SEO Meta Tags menu option, it’ll automatically open the Copilot chat for you with the relevant prompt. Simply upload your spreadsheet file with your prepared meta tags per page and that’s it - Copilot will do the rest.

Streamline design with layout control over columns and inner columns

Work faster on the canvas by applying the layout settings to columns and inner columns with a single click. Click the outer edge of a column or section to select all columns or inner columns within it, then choose a layout to apply it instantly.

Keep Site Comments visible while working on the canvas

You can now toggle an option to keep Site Comments visible on the canvas while you edit, helping you stay focused and work more efficiently as you apply feedback to your design.

Another cool perk about Site Comments we added? You can use keyboard shortcuts to speed up your workflow even further:

To open Site Comments, hit C
To close Site Comments, hit Esc
To turn on/off the ability to keep comments visible on canvas, hit Shift+C

Instantly import meta tags with Copilot

3 new stunning templates to help you hit the canvas running

Discover our three newest templates, Mental Health Professional , Law Firm , and the Early Years School , all ready to give you a head start on gorgeous design, UX-proof layouts and experience, and totally customizable to fit any client or project.

The Law Firm template includes the Bookings widget. To use it, create a site with that template, then add the Bookings feature from the editor’s side panel and start adding appointments and staff members.

Set up 2-trigger animations to wow your site visitors

You can now apply two animations at once, one on hover and one on entrance or scroll, to create richer interactions without having to choose between discoverability and delight.

Advanced Forms Get Multi-Step Support: Less Friction, More Submissions

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 11:20:51 GMT

We added multi-step form action to Duda’s Advanced Form widget (this update is currently in beta). It's a new way to create smoother, more focused form experiences that convert better. Instead of overwhelming visitors with a long list of questions, you can now break forms into multiple pages, with each form page showing just one question or a small, relevant set of questions.

Smoother flows, higher completion rates

This step-by-step approach keeps visitors engaged and reduces friction, making forms feel easier and faster to complete. Whether you’re building lead forms, questionnaires, or complex requests, multi-step forms give you more control over the experience.

Complete design freedom by default

The Advanced Form gives you full control over layout and design from start to finish, and the new multi-step capability is no exception. Easily tailor forms to your client’s brands and business needs using any widget and all the design tools in Editor 2.0 to create experiences that are both stunning and high-converting.

How to get started with multiple form steps?

In the editor, hit +Add in the side panel and select the Advanced Form widget. From there, add form pages, add form elements to each and customize them as needed. We’ll automatically include a back button once your form has two or more pages, which you can customize as well.

Here's to better forms and more leads to your sites and clients!

AI, Scale, Conversion: How Duda Helped You Outmatch the Competition in 2025

Describe It to Duda, Get It Done: Meet Copilot

Fri, 12 Dec 2025 09:10:08 GMT

A conversation that gets things done

The Copilot is a conversational AI agent embedded in the Duda platform - starting on your site list and dashboard, that helps agencies and web professionals work faster, smarter, and with less effort.

Through a simple chat interface, Copilot understands your business’s specific context, including your sites, clients, and team structure, and can perform real actions on your behalf. It’s not just a chatbot or a text generator. It’s a true action-oriented assistant that can execute, inform, and optimize your daily operations.

We’re thrilled to announce the first phase of Copilot (Beta) — a powerful conversational AI assistant built right into the Duda platform, offering a single, seamless experience where you can simply chat to get things done.

Businesses nowadays are busier than ever, juggling clients, sites, and teams across countless tools. Copilot eliminates that friction by keeping your entire workflow inside one workspace right within your Duda dashboard.

What you can do with Copilot

Simply describe what you want Copilot to perform within a site, like:

Managing your store - Add a store to an existing site or update your catalog
Managing blogs - Add a blog to a site or generate a new post
Editing site data - Update business info or collections
Getting site stats – Track visitors and sales performance

With Copilot, your business can create sites, manage accounts, update business info, check analytics, and platform actions, all through simple chat prompts.

Here’s what you can do in this first phase:

MANAGE YOUR ACCOUNT

Create new sites with a simple prompt – Use this to create various types of sites using a template or generating them with AI. Some examples include:

A store - upload a csv file with products to add your catalog in one go
A business site - Copilot will match you up with a template and can help with generating its content, or even generate a site based on a file you have

MANAGE YOUR SITES

This is just the beginning…

This beta marks the first of multiple phases we have in store for Copilot. Next up: Copilot-driven actions in the editor, helping you design with superpowers using AI right on the canvas. You'll be able to accomplish things like transforming templates into client-ready sites, generating content and images with AI, making design changes in real-time, and more.

We can’t wait to see how you and your team use Copilot to save time, scale faster, and deliver even better results for you or your clients. Get started by clicking the purple Copilot icon on your top toolbar and start streamlining your site building projects.

Or even add clients – and assign them to sites in your account or manage their permissions, easily.

Power Up Product Personalization with Multiple Choices

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 09:49:38 GMT

Your Duda eCommerce clients can now offer richer, more flexible product customization experiences with a brand-new option: multiple-choice selection . Customers can choose additional items, select multiple choices like toppings, add service add-ons, and more, all directly from the product page.

This is the second major customization capability released in Duda eCommerce, following the custom text field personalization option.

When customers can personalize products, they're willing to pay more. This increases your average order value and justifies premium pricing. Plus, one-of-a-kind customized items make perfect gifts, which can drive word-of-mouth marketing.

Let customers choose the exact product they want

This customization update expands our product personalization toolkit with a new checkbox-based multiple-choice component that lets shoppers select more than one option when personalizing a product.

What businesses is this ideal for?

It's perfect for food businesses offering toppings or sides, but works for any online store with product choices. Think print shops selecting finishes, furniture stores offering fabric options, electronics repair and resale shops, or gift stores with personalization choices. The possibilities are endless.

Product customization = more revenue

Easy to set up and manage

Getting started with your client’s first product customization is easy. Simply go to a product settings page in the catalog, and scroll down till you see the product customizations area. Then:

1. Create a new customization

Hit the Create New Customization > Multiple Choice and fill out the details, like entering the field’s label, choosing if this should be a required step for the purchase, setting a minimum, maximum or exact choice limits (optional), then hit Save .

Sell Branded Merch on Any Site with the New Printify Integration

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 10:01:46 GMT

What’s Printify?

Printify is a print-on-demand platform that lets you create custom, branded products using an intuitive online tool - now available in Duda as an app. You choose the product type, apply your logo or design, and Printify handles the printing, fulfillment, and shipping, all automatically.

With Duda’s new integration, those products can now be sold seamlessly through the Duda eCommerce store, allowing agencies and clients to run an entire merch operation directly from their Duda site.

How does it work with the Duda store?

After setting up your Printify account and products (see instructions below), they'll automatically appear in your store catalog with your Printify pricing. Shipping is handled automatically too. Rates are calculated at checkout based on the Printify items in the cart.

Why you should use Printify in your eComm sites

We’re thrilled to introduce a new integration between the Printify app and Duda eCommerce , giving your clients the ability to easily design, sell, and fulfill branded products directly through their site.

From t-shirts and hoodies to mugs and tote bags, this integration makes it easy for businesses to sell merchandise online with minimal setup, no inventory, and no hassle. It’s a simple, low-touch way to boost engagement, create new revenue streams, and help your clients extend their brand beyond the screen.

There are quite a few reasons:

Automated product sync – Products published in Printify automatically appear in your Duda store, including images, prices, and variants.
End-to-end fulfillment – Orders placed on your site are automatically sent to Printify for printing and delivery.
Accurate shipping rates – Dynamic shipping costs are synced from Printify to ensure customers are charged correctly.
Zero upfront cost – Both the Printify app and service are free to get started. You only pay when products sell.
New revenue stream – Printify product orders allow your clients to earn profit margins on every sale.

How to get started

Install the Printify app from the Duda App Store
Create or connect your Printify account
Create and publish a product in Printify (shirts, mugs, hoodies, and more)
The product will automatically appear in your Duda store, ready to sell

Once a customer places an order on the store, the integration passes it directly to Printify for printing, fulfillment, and shipping — so no manual input needed. That’s it.

Duda Bookings: Get Paid for Appointments & Add Entire Team

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 14:04:58 GMT

You can now start charging and getting paid for appointments using Duda Bookings . We’ve also added the option to add more than one staff member per site, to boost your clients’ scheduling operation.

Your clients can now charge for appointments upfront, right from their site. Whether they run a beauty salon, a fitness center or any other service, paid bookings create automated revenue 24/7, so no manual follow-ups or lead chasing is required here.

Booked paid appointments are easy to manage, cancel or refund if needed, all right within the site dashboard. Keep in mind you’ll need to set up taxes and connect a payment gateway to your site in order to charge and accept payments for appointments. Duda offers a wide range of payment gateways to choose from, including Stripe, Square, Mollie, PayPal, and others. Here’s how to set up paid bookings , to help you out.

Add and manage multiple staff members

Another cool update we’ve added to Duda Bookings is the option to expand the team of professionals delivering appointments, helping even more businesses leverage this fully integrated booking solution. Depending on your site subscription, you can add up to 10 staff members per site.

Easy site & permissions management

Staff members you add (clients added through the platform’s Client Management) get automatic site access with booking-specific permissions. In addition, those clients can then add other people as additional staff members delivering appointments. And if you’re an agency setting up bookings for a client, you can still use all the Client Management features when setting this up.

Paid appointments are here

Let visitors choose from multiple services when making a booking

The Booking widget now supports multiple appointment types. This means that a beauty salon, for example, can offer manicure, pedicure, and facial appointments all shown through the same Booking widget on the site. Visitors choose their desired service, pick a date and time, and if you're charging them upfront - they continue straight to checkout.

Add paid bookings to the sites you build for clients. You'll deliver more value as an agency while helping your clients capture revenue 24/7.

The full feature list of Bookings depends on the site subscription you have for your site. For a full breakdown by site subscription, visit here .

Duda's Monthly Wrap Up (Oct 🎃)

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 09:37:38 GMT

This post is part of our Monthly Wrap Up series - a collection of small product and feature improvements we’ve released in the past month. All updates are available in Editor 2.0.

Thanks to a new browser setting now available, you can set the background color of a site page to change as visitors scroll the page.

That's it for these Monthly Wrap Up updates. See you again next time.

Happy Halloween everyone ��

Wow visitors with a color change on scroll

You can now assign one or more categories to your custom templates. This means a much more organized way to search, filter and use your custom templates across projects and clients. Not using custom templates? Here’s why you should.

New bookings template - Physiotherapist

Discover our latest, gorgeous medical vertical template that pre-includes our brand new native bookings feature . This new Editor 2.0 template offers beautiful design, best UX practices, a homepage, a services page, and more importantly - the Bookings widget to give you a great starting point for setting up bookings for your clients in the medical or other service fields.

Enjoy better field visibility in Collections

We’ve made it possible to expand a collection’s first column to show the full text of long descriptions, making it much easier to identify and view the data in that row. Small change, big impact.

Get a productivity boost with custom template categories

Get more out of categories via AI & API

The assigned categories give you a lot more power than simply being able to filter templates. It will also provide the AI tool within Duda to suggest custom templates in a smarter way - stay tuned for our upcoming AI-powered conversational copilot ��.

This update lets you filter templates by category via API, including your custom ones. You can also display templates in your custom template picker by category.

Quick tip : Use this template as a custom one to save time with future client sites that require booking.

Choose how visitors open the mega menu

You can now control what triggers the appearance of a mega menu when visitors interact with your site's navigation. After adding a mega menu through the Navigation Links widget, open its design panel and expand the Mega Menu drawer. There, under Open mega menu on, choose between H over (when the cursor moves over the link) or Click .

Blog post management gets a fresh look and better UX

We’ve improved the main posts screen to offer you a more focused and streamlined experience managing your blog. Along with having the most common actions readily available, you can enjoy a cleaner, table-based view that groups post information logically, and offers quick access to the important actions you need.

Advanced Form: Take Full Control of Form Design

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 10:42:42 GMT

Meet the Advanced Form, our new advanced widget in Editor 2.0 with complete design freedom. Built on flex containers, you can customize forms without workarounds or third party tools, and add any widget you want: videos, images, maps, and more.

What’s new? Quite a bit

The new Advanced Form gives you much more than before:

A whole lot more design freedom

You can now add inner columns and widgets inside the form for advanced layouts, add titles for sections, and edit the design (not just the text) of the post-submission thank you and error message- to perfectly match your site’s look and feel.

Leveraging the use of widgets

Drag and drop any widget you want into the form. This can be input widgets like radio buttons, checkboxes, and dropdown selections, and any other widget you want.

Simple drag & drop organization within the form

This means you can easily organize and reposition form fields within your form by simply dragging & dropping them around. The end result? You get to build anything you want, from simple one-line forms to surveys and lead generation flows.

One advanced form, so many ways to use it

The new Advanced Form is such a versatile design tool, you can put it into use on your site for so many purposes:

Lead generation or pre-meeting questionnaire

Survey

Newsletter signups

And so many others as well. Where to get started? You can find the Advanced Form and its related elements under the editor’s widgets panel > Advanced Widgets category.

Form steps and more coming soon

This is just the first phase of what we intend the Advanced Form to be. It now lays the groundwork for the later phases we have planned - very soon we’ll add capabilities like multi-steps and additional field types (file attachment, date and time picker, etc.), with more powerful form options coming later on, so stay tuned…

Help Clients Get Booked Online with Duda Bookings

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 13:32:56 GMT

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Duda’s native Bookings feature.

Duda Bookings makes it simple for small businesses to accept and manage appointments directly from their sites. The solution integrates seamlessly with Site Themes for a polished, responsive design, and supports your workflows and templates to help your agency create booking-enabled sites at scale with minimal effort and without any third-party app or service integration.

Online booking is a powerful way to generate revenue and leads for many types of businesses — from beauty salons and accountants who want instant bookings, to home services that require approval first. The possibilities are virtually endless.

How to get started with Bookings

Simply hit the new Bookings item on the editor’s left panel to add bookings. Next, add your first staff member (edit the sample one) - the professional who’ll lead the appointment. After that, create your first appointment type and set your own or client’s availability, and adjust other settings as needed.

Easily add a staff member (your client)

Bookings currently supports one staff member as a service provider who can provide free appointments. This can be any of your existing clients in Client Management, or a new client you create on the spot.

It also integrates with external calendars like the Google or Apple Calendars, the Outlook one and more, helping your clients stay organized and reduce no-shows. Designed to grow with your clients’ needs, it brings advanced bookings capabilities into one flexible, native solution.

Who needs online bookings and why?

View and manage booked appointments

Once a site visitor books an appointment, it’s easy to see it under the Booked Appointments area. There it’ll show the attendee’s name, the type of appointment they booked, the staff member leading the appointment, and the appointment’s location.

The admin of the site (and the appointment’s assigned staff member) will receive an email notification of any newly booked appointments.

After setting up the staff member and the appointments they'll offer, don't forget to add the Bookings widget to your site and select the appointment type you created to show it online, so visitors can start scheduling appointments.

More bookings features coming soon

More capabilities are in the pipeline, so stay tuned for:

Charging for appointments (paid bookings)
Applying discounts to paid appointments
Adding multiple staff members
More reminder options
And more...

The full list of Bookings features depends on the site subscription you have for your site. For the full feature breakdown by site subscription, visit here .

Duda's Monthly Wrap Up (Sep)

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 11:53:00 GMT

This post is part of our Monthly Wrap Up series - a collection of small product and feature improvements we’ve released in the past month. All updates mentioned below are available in Editor 2.0.

We’ve added a new t ext scaling setting to the Text widget and the Site Theme > Text section, to make responsiveness even more seamless in your sites.

When turned on, text size will automatically adjust relative to the screen size of the visitor seeing your site. This improves readability, responsiveness, and accessibility.

That's it for these Monthly Wrap Up updates. See you again next time :)

Text joins the responsiveness party

When you hit +Add Section in the editor , you'll now see a Layout option with predefined blank layouts. This helps you quickly find the exact combination of flex elements you need.

Choose who gets Duda invoice emails

You can now set a specific email recipient for Duda invoice emails. The account owner receives these by default (plus all other billing emails).

With this update, you can choose whether another person receives invoices in addition to the account owner or instead of them .

Easily duplicate a custom widget with the click of a button

You can duplicate a custom widget you built, make changes to the copy, and save it as a new one. If you're using the Widget Builder, this is a huge time-saver and productivity booster.

Keep in mind that when you duplicate a widget, the entire code from the widget's latest draft version is copied (not the published version).

The Widget Builder and its conversational AI code generator are available for Custom plan accounts as well as Agency plan accounts (first 3 published widgets are free).

Hit the canvas running with a collection of blank section layouts

Save time and keep your design consistent with site-wide column spacing

We've added a column and inner column spacing setting to the new Width & Spacing section in your Site Theme . This lets you set site-wide spacing for any new column or inner column you add.

Keep in mind that any spacing edits you make to a specific column will override this site-wide rule.

One convenient place for all SEO settings

We've consolidated SEO-related settings in your site dashboard to reduce clutter and give you a more intuitive way to manage your site's SEO.

The SEO manager in your site dashboard now includes a new Additional Settings section where you can manage:

Indexing & crawling - Configure whether your site should be indexed by search engines, view the LLMs.txt file, or quickly navigate to URL Redirect
Site meta tags - Set your site's meta title and description

Content Collection Form: New Submission Notifications & Account-Level Form

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 09:32:36 GMT

Duda’s Content Collection Form , the AI-powered tool that helps you gather site content from clients, just got a few updates to make your workflow smoother and your team’s access more flexible.

We’ve added the New Submission Notifications section in the form’s Settings tab. Now you can easily add one or more team members to get email alerts whenever someone submits that site’s form. No more relying on just the account owner to keep track of new assets.

Keep in mind that team members will still need the right permissions (i.e. Editor permission ) to view submitted content, files, and data.

A cleaner, easier way to manage submissions

We’ve redesigned the form submissions page to help you and your team stay organized. Here's what you'll find there, once you or your client have filled out the form:

A timestamp of when the form was last submitted
The client’s business name, logo, and details at a glance
A table of uploaded files you can filter and download

Content saved in the right place to simplify your work

Once submitted, the content is saved in two places: the Media Manager's Content Collection Uploads folder and the new Media area in the editor - where you can drag & drop images straight onto your canvas.

Set a default content collection form to automatically apply to any new site you build

If you're on a Custom plan, you can now set a default version of your content collection form at the account level. This means any new site you build will automatically use that form, saving you setup time and helping you scale your process with ease.

Not on a Custom plan yet? It might be worth upgrading to unlock this feature, along with other advanced tools like API access. Want to learn more? Let’s talk .

Import Content from Any Site to Speed Up Your Build

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 15:07:52 GMT

We’re excited to introduce a brand-new capability to speed up your site building workflow. Quickly pull text, images, and business name from any existing site into the content library of the site you're building (or have built) on Duda. Whether you’re rebuilding a client’s site with a template or creating a custom design, this tool helps you jumpstart the process by automatically importing key content.

Please note this update is available in Editor 2.0 only .

Discover a serious productivity boost

This update gives agencies like yours a major uptick in efficiency, with things like:

Faster migrations – pull content in bulk by simply entering an existing URL instead of starting from scratch
A simpler setup – save hours of manual content copying & pasting. Quickly spin up new sites for clients using their existing content
Smarter workflows – content is stored in the right place automatically, ready to use and get populated in widgets and layouts

Once you provide a URL, you can choose whether to import the content of the exact link destination, or all of the domain’s associated pages (up to 30 in total). Keep in mind that multi-page content imports are limited to sites that include a sitemap.xml file.

What content gets imported and where does it go?

When you provide a site URL, we’ll automatically extract visible text, images, and business name.

Once imported, the content is automatically organized into the relevant areas within the editor:

Text → in the text panel
Images → in the Media Manager and the media panel
Business name → in the content library’s Business Info

This means you can immediately use these imported assets by simply dragging and dropping text and images right onto the canvas into your new design.

How to get started?

Simply go to your site’s content library in the editor, and hit the Import Content button. We’ll guide you from there.

We’re curious to see what kind of sites you’ll build for clients using this new game-changing feature, and how much this will speed up your process overall. Enjoy :)

Another perk of this new update - we’ll populate the site’s AI Business Profile with the business name, category and description - all based on the URL you provide.

Have Multiple Layouts in One Blog, Plus More Updates

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 07:26:01 GMT

We've rolled out some new blog features in Editor 2.0 that give you more control over how your content looks and works. Here's what's new:

Use multiple post layouts within the same blog

Better pagination controls in the All Posts widget

We hope you make the most of these new blog updates, and enjoy the additional blog content customization power they give you and your clients.

Now you can use different layouts for different types of content within the same blog. Whether it's news updates, case studies, SEO articles, or portfolio pieces - each post can have its own perfect design.

With the new Post Layouts , you can add any layout you want, customize it, and save. Then go to any post's settings and pick a layout from the layout dropdown.

This update gives you extra flexibility and customization power:

Use readable layouts for long SEO articles
Pick visual layouts for portfolios and galleries
Choose clean formats for company news

No more juggling separate blogs for different content types. Find it under Blog → Post Layouts .

The All Posts widget now lets you choose how visitors see more content:

Show More button
Pagination with custom controls
Not show any additional posts

This gives you lots of control over how the blog posts appear on your client’s sites and greatly improves the user experience of their site visitors.

Link to the exact paragraph you want with blog anchors

You can now link any element directly to anchors within blog posts.

To do this, go to any link picker → Anchor → Page and scroll down until you see the new Blog post option. Pick your post and anchor from the dropdown menus, or link to the top or bottom of posts by default.

Note: Media Slider and Accordion widgets don't support this yet.

Duda's Monthly Wrap Up (Aug)

Tue, 02 Sep 2025 19:37:46 GMT

This post is part of our Monthly Wrap Up series - a collection of small product and feature improvements we’ve released in the past month.

You now have full control over how prices are displayed in your store. Apply local conventions to your store's currency format and create a smoother shopping experience for customers around the world.

Here’s what you can now customize:

Currency symbol placement — before ($20) or after (20€) the price
Number format — choose from 7 regional presets, like 1,234.56 , 1.234,56 , 1 234.56, and more
Trailing zeros — show or hide ( €20 vs. €20.00 )
Custom symbols — override defaults with things like AUD , CAD , and others

Where your changes appear

Everywhere it matters: product pages, cart, checkout, order confirmations, customer dashboards, emails, order details, and more.

To get started, go to Sell Online → Business Settings → Business Profile → Edit Currency Format .

That's it for these Monthly Wrap Up updates. See you again next time :)

Customize how your store’s currency appears online

You now have the power to choose how frequently your external collections (like Airtable, Google Sheets, and more) refresh, to ensure the content on your site and its Dynamic pages is always up to date.

What's changed?

Choose a numeric value with a time setting or automatic syncing using one of the dropdown menu options:

Automatic (every hour)
Every X days
Every X hours

This flexibility helps you optimize performance, prevent service interruptions, and ensures your site updates with the right data when you need it to.

See the magic of links turning into buttons when dragging text into the canvas

That’s right. If you’re using our new content import through uploading a text file , you can now drag any hyperlink text we’ve extracted from your file, and drag it right onto the canvas - once you drop the text link on the canvas it will transform into a… Designed button!

The button styling will take on the default one set in your Site Theme for buttons.

Move all generated pages into the editor in 1 go

When generating a site, the AI tool first matches each site page with a layout, and then content if you choose to have that generated too. Once you’re happy with the results, you can move the pages into the editor to finalize the design and publish.

Until now, this could only be done one page at a time. Now, with a single click, you can continue with all generated pages to the editor at once.

Control how often your site syncs with connected external collections

Photo Editing Just Got Better: Say Hello to Background Removal

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 08:24:21 GMT

We’ve upgraded our image editor so it now includes more options, with the most notable one being removing the background of an image . And the best part? We applied this capability to our very own Image widget and container background settings in Editor 2.0.

To dive right in, go to and click an Image widget in the editor and look for the Remove image background icon right under the image file name. Click it and the background will be removed.

This addition brings flexibility and efficiency to your workflow, whether you’re showcasing products, crafting hero sections, or fine-tuning background visuals. Seamlessly apply the background-removal feature to any image or container in real time, giving your designs that professional edge in seconds.

Upload a File to Get a Fully Designed Site

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 14:05:11 GMT

We’re rolling out a beta of a powerful new feature: create a complete site with content and design from a simple file upload.

Whether it's a content document, a brief, client notes, or even a client interview transcript, our AI can read the file, understand its contents, and build a site that matches your needs, all without changing how you already work.

This feature is built to save you time and effort. From the moment you upload a file, we guide you through simple steps where you choose things like fonts, colors, and more, and we’ll generate a full site you can tweak as needed. You stay in control every step of the way. It’s a faster path from your first chat with a client to a live site.

Use file content as-is or as a base for new generated content

When you upload a file, there are two main ways to use it to generate your site:

#1 - File with finalized site text

If your file already has the exact text you want, choose Use it word for word in the site during upload. The AI will place your text in the right spots across your generated site pages. Want to try different layouts? Go for it. Your text will stay the same no matter how many times you change the layout.

See your text next to your generated pages

Once the site is generated, you’ll see your extracted text on the left and the matching page on the right. It’s a quick way to check placement and accuracy without bouncing between apps or tabs.

#2 - File with business, client or project info

If your file is more like a brief, client notes, or a meeting transcript, choose Use as a prompt for new content when uploading it. The AI will create site copy and images based on the context in the file.

Bonus SEO tip

If your uploaded file includes SEO tags (meta titles and descriptions) for each page, whether you use the text as-is or as a prompt, the AI will automatically set them as your site’s meta tags.

No matter how you build your site, your texts are always there

If you start from a file upload, generate your site and then move to the editor, your uploaded texts will still show in the content panel on the left, right alongside the canvas.

Prefer to build a site from a template? You can still upload a file and use the extracted text throughout your site, just as we announced last month. Just drag and drop the content directly onto the canvas. That means saying goodbye to switching between docs, tabs, or tools.

You can also generate a page directly from your text using the Generate a Page with this Text button. Our AI tool will handle it for you.

As you can see, this file upload capability complements your process, regardless of your site creation and building workflow, to make it more efficient.

We’re curious to see what kind of sites you’ll build for clients using this new game-changing feature, and how much this will speed up your process overall. Enjoy :)

AI Site Generation Just Leveled Up: Better Images, Visual Site Outline, SEO Tags, and More

Fri, 15 Aug 2025 09:49:50 GMT

Following a runtime of several months since we released the initial AI-powered site generation feature, we gathered your feedback and added some improvements to make the entire process more seamless, accurate and more refined. Here we go.

Beautiful images that match the business

When generating your new site’s content, our AI tool will create more relevant images based on the exact context of the site and the AI business profile data. The result is better-matching, high-quality images that complement your site’s pages and offer beautiful visuals with the right context.

Keep in mind we're currently gradually rolling out this update.

A visual site outline

Before your site is generated, right after entering business info and choosing style preferences, you’ll see a visual site outline - a bird’s-eye view of your site’s page structure and the sections within each page. This gives you a clear, organized way to understand what your site will be built by, before moving on to the actual build.

What you can do here

On the site outline page, you can duplicate pages, rename them, rearrange section order within or between pages, and more.

SEO tags per page

Each of your generated site pages will now automatically get a dedicated set of meta title and description tags, based on the page’s content and AI business profile. This will give your site a better SEO starting point as soon as you hit the Publish button, and one less thing to worry about or spend time on.

Lots more color palette options

We’ve added numerous additional color palette options to choose from within the site generation wizard, to give you even more design freedom and power. And this is in addition to the option of matching your site’s colors to an uploaded logo or brand.

If you haven’t used our site generator yet, we invite you to try it out. It can give you a considerable head start and shorten your design-to-publish time overall. Just head over to your site list to get starte

Gather Any Customer Info You Want at Checkout with Custom Fields

Mon, 11 Aug 2025 08:11:30 GMT

We’ve made it possible for you to add customized input fields at checkout, so you or your client can easily collect the info you need from customers in your store’s checkout, whether it’s gift messages, consent checkboxes, multiple choice selections and more.

Adding custom input fields customers fill out or interact with offers several advantages to your store and client, with the main ones being:

Stronger communication - by collecting additional phone numbers, comments or preferred contact methods
A boost of operational efficiency - by getting specific info upfront instead of manually following up with customers post-purchase
More customization power - by allowing you to tailor the checkout experience to your client’s business
Helps with compliance - by making it possible to place disclaimers or opt-in checkboxes

Easily decide what to collect and where to place it at checkout

The new custom checkout fields feature is available in your store operations dashboard, under Business Settings > Checkout > Custom fields . There, you’ll be able to add a new custom field, choose its format, and decide at which checkout step this will appear.

We’ll even show you a preview as you set it up, so you can easily visualize it and get an idea of how this will look for the customer completing the purchase.

This variety of input formats will help you collect almost any kind of customer input:

Short text
Long text (paragraph)
Radio buttons
Checkbox
Dropdown menu with multiple options

In addition, you get to choose if this should be a required action at checkout or optional.

Examples of the kind of input you can collect with these custom fields

The possibilities are almost endless, but some of the main use cases may include:

Special instructions
Greeting or gift messages
Consent and other disclaimers the customer may need to acknowledge

We’ll make sure to display any custom field the customer has filled out in their order details screen, customer emails, and also in your orders export file, when you create one.

Here's an example of what the customer will see at checkout:

Why custom fields at checkout?

Different input formats to choose from

Easily keep track of what customers provide

10+ Header, Mega Menu & Other Updates to Power Up Your Web Design

Fri, 08 Aug 2025 08:00:18 GMT

We’ve added numerous improvements and new capabilities to Editor 2.0 that give you more design freedom, speed up your site build, and help create a finished site your client and their visitors will love. Get ready, it’s a considerable list...

Top it off: 5 Header customization options that put you in control

Make a visual impact with a header overlapping effect - per device

Create a bold, immersive first impression in your site by setting your header to overlap with the top section of that page for each of the different device sizes. This effect is especially impressive when the top section has a large background image or video.

In addition, overlapping the header with the top section can reduce vertical space taken by the former, which is useful on mobile or smaller screens. Look for the new Header Overlap area in the design panel when your header is selected to enable it.

That’s a wrap for this round of design updates. We can’t wait to see the bold headers, mega menus, stunning sections, and fresh site layouts you create with these new tools. Go ahead and build great sites!

These include showing and hiding your header per page, header overlap effect per screen size, saving and reusing headers as sections, adding multiple sections to your header, and a more organized design panel to manage it all as you work.

Set your header or footer to show or hide from any page

That’s right. You can set the header and footer (separately) to show or hide from any or all your site pages. In other words, you get full customization power over your site’s header and footer’s visibility.

To hide the header or footer, right-click it and select the Hide From option. To show a now-hidden header or footer, find it in the layers panel on the relevant page and click the visibility icon.

Mega menu: more functionality, better UX

Save your mega menu as a section

We’ve made it possible to save the mega menu as a section, plus the option to add a designed section to the header and/or your mega menu. This means you can reuse your header or mega menu assets later on in other sites or projects you’re working on.

Adding sections to your mega menu - what’s in it for you?

Use it for more complex designs and layouts, like having one section for the title and another for showing a gallery of images or block sets of image + text + button, or a separate section for a CTA that appears below a gallery or list. The possibilities are virtually endless.

More UX improvements to the mega menu

This update includes an option to show or hide the arrow icon that lets visitors open and close the mega menu on your site, plus a wider selection of pre-designed mega menu sections to help you build faster.

Seamless per-device visibility control over elements

We’ve made it easier to set any element to hide from any device view, even if the view you’re currently working on in the editor is different from the one you want to change it for. Want to hide an element from all devices in one go? That’s also now available with a single click from the right-click options menu in the editor.

To make a hidden element show on a certain device, go to the layers panel on that device view and click the visibility (eye) icon to set it to show there.

UX improvements to sections and section categories

Here we made several UI improvements to make your work with sections more seamless and efficient. These include scrolling up and down the section category list on the left (instead of using up & down arrow clicks), and new Designed and Custom section tabs to easily find what you’re looking for, whether it’s a newly designed section or a custom one you or your team want to reuse on the site.

Cross-site spacing settings in Site Theme

You can now set a default section spacing in your Site Theme in Editor 2.0. The new setting means any new blank section you add to the site will automatically inherit the spacing you defined, whether it's in pixels, percentages, or other units you chose.

Full control per screen size

This new site-wide section spacing setting lets you set a default value for each of the different screen sizes, to give you full control over the appearance.

And this might also be a good opportunity to let you know that soon, we’ll add a Reset to Theme Spacing option to the design panel, so you can instantly apply any existing section to the Theme’s spacing setting with a single click...

Translate Internal Collections to Go Global with Dynamic Pages

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 11:45:12 GMT

We’ve added a multilingual feature to Duda’s internal collections , so Dynamic pages based on them can now be translated without the need to manually duplicate and then update the collection. This can help your clients reach more customers in more locations and reduce operational overhead.

Translate an entire internal collection with a click

If you have an internal collection-based site for, say, presenting the company’s team, and want to have all the team members’ associated Dynamic pages translated, now you can with a click of a button.

To be able to have your internal collections translated, your site will need to have those additional languages - these can be added using our multilingual tool either before or after having created your internal collection.

Or, translate only the updates you’ve made

Translate updated data in your collection with ease, by selecting the specific rows you want to update the translation for and hitting the Translate button.

How to start translating your internal collections

Translating an internal collection is a manual, per-collection action. For best results, keep the following in mind:

The languages available for translation depend on those added to your site . Make sure the Google Translate toggle in the multilingual tool is turned on.
Once translation begins, the collection can only be managed in the site’s default language .
Translations are generated from the default language to the others, but you can still create manual, per-language iterations if needed.

If you need help getting started, please consult this handy guide .

Forget Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V: There’s a Smarter Way to Add or Replace Site Text

tal.levi@duda.co (Tal Levi) — Thu, 17 Jul 2025 15:15:22 GMT

We’re rolling out a new beta feature in Editor 2.0 that makes working with site text way faster. Just upload a text file, and you’ll see its contents in a panel right next to your canvas. From there, you can drag and drop content straight onto the page. No more switching between tabs, copying and pasting, or jumping between documents.

Powered by AI, built for speed

When you upload a text file (Word, Markdown, you name it), our AI analyzes it, pulls out the content, breaks it down by page and displays it in the panel. Then you can drag and drop the texts from the panel into the canvas.

It even fills in missing info in your AI Business Profile based on the content.

Last week at DudaCon, Duda’s product manager Tal Levi previewed another exciting feature: generating an entire site from a text file upload. Stay tuned because there’s more coming beyond just uploading text files… ��

In case you missed it…

Update texts of a designed site in minutes

Need to update the content on a designed site? Upload your prepared content file, and your texts will show up right beside your canvas. Drag it over, drop it in place, and you’re done.

Start with content, then design

If you already have the site text ready, just upload it and let us break it down into a usable structure. Use a blank template or your own, and drag text blocks into place as you design. It’s a faster way to build a site without treating design and content as two separate steps.

When dropping text, styles stay intact

When replacing text using drag and drop, the widget design stays the same. Formatting like bold , italic, and underline is preserved. Alternately, when adding text as a new widget in your site or template, the heading and paragraph styles (H1–H6, Paragraph) from your file will also carry over automatically.

Use it your way

Here are a couple of ways to use it:

AI + Widget Builder = Code Smarter and Build Faster

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 14:06:18 GMT

Duda’s widget builder , the code-based feature that lets you build custom widgets to enhance sites’ capabilities to fit clients’ needs, now features an AI assistant that turns complex coding into simple conversations, helping you build client-specific widgets faster than ever. And now, this innovative tool is available for Agency and White Label account plans to explore.

The custom widget builder - a quick recap

Duda’s custom widget builder lets you create fully custom widgets using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, all inside the Duda editor. Whether you're integrating third-party tools or building unique site features, you’ll have the freedom to tailor functionality to your clients’ exact needs.

Just tell the AI Assistant what you want

Instead of starting a new widget from scratch, you can now describe your widget in plain language. The Assistant will then share its execution plan, and will proceed to writing the code for you. Once it's done, you can preview the generated widget, make tweaks to it or even reset the entire chat and start over - you’re in control every step of the way.

Use it to enhance your existing widgets, too

The AI Assistant can also help to enhance the existing widgets you’ve already built - use it to improve any widget by describing what you want in the chat.

Just try one of the live examples within the chat with your AI Assistant, and you’ll see the kind of magic this tool can do. Some of the example widgets you can explore are:

A customized bar chart
An eye-catching dynamic video gallery
A beautiful web design agency calculator
An infinite scrolling carousel

And more - see this it in action:

A great widget building shortcut with zero code

Whether you're creating a simple widget or building something more complex for a client, the AI Assistant gives you a powerful head start. It’s a major time-saver for your developers, helping cut down custom widget build time significantly.

Working on something basic? You might not even need a developer. This smart AI tool lets you move faster and build on your own.

Previously Custom plan-exclusive, now available for Agency & WL plans to try

Until now the widget builder was available only to accounts with the Custom plan. But since this new AI tool lets you build widgets using a simple chat rather than code, we want to let non-Custom plan accounts in on the action as well:

Accounts with Agency or White Label plans now get access to the widget builder to build and publish up to 3 AI-powered widgets, and add them to up to 10 sites . Tried it out and want to build more? Then unlock unlimited widget building with AI, along with other Custom plan features like API access, by upgrading to the Custom plan.

Duda's Monthly Wrap Up (June)

annat.katz@duda.co (Annat Katz) — Tue, 01 Jul 2025 13:20:10 GMT

This post is part of our Monthly Wrap Up series - a collection of small product and feature improvements we’ve released in the past month.

Accessibility improvements

Screen reader support : The menu works better with screen readers. It only gets read when it’s open, and is skipped when closed
Screen reader control : Site visitors can now open the menu using screen reader commands
Keyboard-friendly navigation :
You can tab into and out of the menu easily
Once inside, tab through all the links and buttons like you’d expect
Hit Escape to close the menu, and it’ll send you back to where you were

We’ve made some important updates to the mega menu to help your sites stay SEO-friendly and easy to use for everyone:

That's it for these Monthly Wrap Up updates. See you again next time :)

Helping your mega menus stay ahead in SEO and accessibility

Smarter SEO behavior

The mega menu now hides in a way that’s still visible to search engines, so its content can be indexed properly.

Why all this matters

These updates help make your site more usable, more inclusive, and better optimized for search, without any extra work on your end.

Have your own media library inside Duda’s media picker via API

We’ve added an external resources capability to Duda’s API to let you seamlessly integrate your media libraries into the Media Picker in the Duda editor.

This lets you search and add third-party media directly into your site projects. The end result? More flexibility and efficiency to fit the way you work. Visit the documentation page for more info.

API access is available with the Custom account plan .

Make quick, laser-focused tweaks in section content when generating a page

We’ve added 2 new productivity-enhancing instruction shortcuts to page sections when using the Page Builder to generate a page. These will speed up and add accuracy to the content you generate for your page:

The “Generate content for” tag

To let AI draft your section copy based on the guidance you provide, like: Generate content for an inviting hero section that showcases our delicious variety of pancakes and warm atmosphere, featuring a prominent call to action to make a reservation .

The "Use this exact text" tag

To paste or type your own text (pre-written or on the fly) and have it injected word for word into the section. And if you change the section's layout, it will keep the same content as specified in the prompt, so you can preview different designs for the same content!

Improved WhatsApp Click to Chat experience

WhatsApp links of click-to-chat (e.g. https://wa.me/1XXXXXXXXXX ) now automatically redirect visitors to their preferred WhatsApp experience, either WhatsApp Web in their browser or their WhatsApp desktop app if it’s installed.

This creates a smoother, more intuitive connection between your website's WhatsApp widget and your visitors' messaging preferences .

Duda is Prepping Your Sites for the Future of AI Search

Fri, 27 Jun 2025 09:23:23 GMT

We’re automatically rolling out llms.txt on all published sites . That means your site is now even better prepared for AI search, and you don’t need to lift a finger.

What’s llms.txt, and why should you care?

llms.txt is like a cheat sheet for AI. It's a guide for Large Language Models (LLMs), similar to how robots.txt helps search engines, but made specifically for AI. It tells tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity exactly what your site is about in clean, structured language. Think of it as SEO for the AI era. Not for search engines, but for large language models.

So when someone asks an AI tool about your business, it references your actual content, not some messy, out-of-context HTML.

What it does behind the scenes

Every time you publish a site, Duda now auto-generates an llms.txt file that includes:

A list of your live URLs, like blog posts, native store products & categories, and multi-languages
The meta descriptions of each page (if they exist, otherwise we’ll use the meta titles)
Only the good stuff - no drafts or no-index pages

And yes, it all happens automatically. Every single time you publish.

Why this matters

Most websites still don’t have llms.txt. But your Duda site does! That means that today, AI tools will be more likely to:

Show your clients’ business accurately
Link to your site’s real content
Represent your client’s brand professionally

It’s a small file with a big impact on how your clients’ business shows up in the AI-powered internet.

Want to see it?

Just go to your site and add /llms.txt to the end of the URL in the address bar.

That’s your AI-friendly content map in action ��

New On-Canvas Drag & Drop Media Feature Welcomes Videos & Icons

tal.levi@duda.co (Tal Levi) — Wed, 18 Jun 2025 18:18:54 GMT

Last month we introduced our innovative drag & drop media panel that sits alongside the canvas, giving your design workflow a serious boost. You can view your site and media side by side, then drag images directly onto your page to replace existing ones or add new content.

Today we're excited to announce that this media panel now supports videos and icons too . Simply drag any media file from the left panel and drop it exactly where you want it placed. Simple as that.

Works with any compatible widget

Just as it works with images you’ve uploaded to the site, the new media panel will also show you the videos and icons you’ve uploaded, so you can easily access everything alongside the canvas while working on your page.

See your uploaded videos and icons there, too!

Just like images, you can now drag and drop videos and icons directly onto your canvas (can be ones you uploaded or new ones you’ve searched for). Use videos with any video-compatible widget and icons with any icon-compatible widget. These additions give you even greater productivity when building in the editor.

Go ahead and try it for yourself - go to a site you're building in editor 2.0, hit the Media icon on the left panel and start dragging and dropping media files, whether these are images, videos, or icons.

Join the MCP Beta: Put Your Favorite AI Assistant to Work for You in Duda

Tue, 10 Jun 2025 12:13:00 GMT

What’s MCP, anyway?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that creates seamless integration between Large Language Models (LLMs) and external data sources or tools. In simple terms, MCP is like a USB-C cable for AI—a single, universal way to plug any AI model into any tool or data source, making connections simple, reliable, and reusable.

This innovative, powerful tool lets you build, manage, and perform actions in your Duda account, sites and more, all directly from your MCP-compatible AI assistant through natural language prompting.

Why you should join the beta

Duda’s MCP server is compatible with every LLM that supports the MCP standard. MCP is a well supported standard adopted by all major players including OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic. For more information about Duda’s MCP server, consult the documentation .

Want to know how many form submissions a site’s contact form has received? Just ask Duda’s MCP chat How many form submissions did my website Balloonatics get last month? And you’ll get your answer within seconds.

More power & more tailored automations at your fingertips

6 Duda eCommerce Updates to Better Customize & Manage Stores

Tue, 03 Jun 2025 10:27:25 GMT

Here are five recent enhancements to our native store, designed to help you build high-performing eComm sites with the right amount of operative customizations and flexibility your eComm clients require. Let's dive in:

Choose how you enter tax-inclusive prices

In addition to our recent tax related updates of adding tax groups and including tax rates in product prices, we’re happy to share that we’ve made an important update to the latter. Now, when you choose to include tax in product prices, you can decide how the tax is applied to the price itself:

Enter a gross price that already includes the tax rate, or;
Enter a net price with your store’s default tax added automatically

Easily re-send download links of purchased digital products

You can now easily resend digital product download links to customers, improving delivery and customer satisfaction.

Within the order page, you'll see a new menu option that allows you to resend an email containing the download link directly to the customer. This provides quick and easy access to their purchased digital product.

Easily export the store’s abandoned carts list to CSV

Now, with a simple click, you can export your store's complete abandoned cart list, including essential customer details, to a CSV file. This readily available data empowers your client's business for various marketing, promotional, and other strategic initiatives.

New per-item order fulfillment & tracking info

Your eComm clients can now more easily manage order fulfillment and keep their customers informed about shipments.

When fulfilling an order, you can now select individual items to mark as fulfilled. This is useful when certain items take longer to process, or when items in the same order ship from different locations or warehouses. In such cases, your eComm client may need to fulfill items separately.

And the cool part? You can now also add tracking information to these specific items. Once you add the tracking info and hit the Fulfill Item(s) button, t he customer will receive an email with the tracking link, making it easy to follow the delivery status and location of those items.

Gross or net? When to use each

Gross pricing can be a better option for businesses selling to just one market or to one region, for example. Net pricing on the other hand can be the more suited choice for businesses serving multiple regions with various tax rates, as it lets such clients protect their margin.

Keep in mind that gross product pricing currently works for stores with just one tax zone.

Keep inventories up to date when cancelling orders

You and your eComm clients have the option to automatically restock items when canceling an order to ensure the business’s inventory is always up to date. How does it work? When canceling an order, you’ll now have a Restock inventory when order is canceled checkbox you can check to enable this.

Keep in mind that this won’t apply to products that:

Have the shipping required toggle switched off in the catalog
Their inventory tracking setting is turned off
No longer exist

New pagination option to help customers browse products

We’ve enhanced store customers’ browsing experience by introducing a classic pagination option to the Product Gallery and data-connected Photo Gallery store widgets. So what’s new? You or your eComm client can now choose between the View More Button and the Pagination option, to enjoy more control over how more products are displayed.

Lots of more updates to discover

If you haven’t heard, we recently released a brand new way to offer product customizations, to enhance your store sales and offer customers an exciting way to personalize their purchases. We’ve also added Mollie as an optional payment gateway which is perfect for businesses selling or operating within the EU.

Want to learn about all our recent Duda eCommerce updates? Check out the full list here .

We hope you find these recent store updates useful, and we’re excited to see how you’ll leverage these to push your eComm clients’ business even further and higher, online and beyond. If you have any special eComm feature requests, please share them on the Duda Idea Board .

More Design, Customization, and Conversion Power

Fri, 16 May 2025 08:02:19 GMT

We’ve added 5 new design updates to Editor 2.0 we thought you’d like to know about, as these will help you build sites that not only look great, but also help to convert visitors and drive them to act online.

Make entire flex containers linkable

Strike the right balance between design and readability with a site-wide page width setting

You can now set your desired maximum width of all the pages of a certain site, using the new Width & Spacing panel under Site Theme in the editor. There, you’ll have the option to choose one of the preset widths (1200px or 1440px), or choose the custom option of setting your own exact width between 960px and 1920px.

What this setting essentially does is set the max width of all the sections in your site that haven’t been set to display in full width. This will help ensures a unified look across all pages and sections with a clean, professional design.

Those were our latest design updates. Enjoy :)

You can now add a link to any flex container, whether it’s a section, a column, an inner column, or an advanced grid, thus making its entire area clickable. This is especially great because it gives you all the design freedom you want to drive conversion on your site.

Elements inside the container can have their own links, too!

You can still have elements within that linkable container with links of their own, so any buttons, icons, or images with links included within that container can still point elsewhere.

Some use cases for your inspiration

You can create a card with text & an image while making the whole column linkable. Another option - add a mega menu to your navigation and make one of its columns linkable as a whole, in addition to so many other ways.

Check out this quick example to see it in action:

Faster & easier mega menu editing

To keep you in the zone while designing headers with mega menus, you can now edit the section the moment it previews on hover—right from the Navigation widget. No more digging through settings or searching for the right layer in the layers panel. Just hover, click, and go.

New Template: Wedding Venue

We’ve got a stunningly designed new template you can start using for your upcoming site projects - the Wedding Venue template. It comes built in with the latest design and UX best practices, and offers a beautiful color palette, font design to get you started or inspired, and stunning scrolling animations including:

Pinned columns to create an effect where one side of the content scrolls while the other remains fixed, to grab attention
Text sliding on scroll
Images sliding from the top and bottom on scroll

Change section layouts with a click - on the desktop breakpoint

We’re excited to share that now you can set unique layouts per section on the desktop breakpoint in your design, something that was only available on the tablet and mobile breakpoints until now. This new option will help you achieve more complex designs a lot easier and faster.

In addition, it means you can:

Rearrange columns in a single section without needing to add new ones or inner columns
Build advanced, flexible designs faster
Create stunning layouts without needing to dive into pro tutorials :)

Drag, Drop, Done: Instantly Add & Replace Media Right on the Canvas

tal.levi@duda.co (Tal Levi) — Thu, 08 May 2025 08:36:56 GMT

Get ready for a first-of-its-kind media tool in Editor 2.0 that transforms how you replace media. We’ve added a new panel beside the canvas, so you can view your site and media side by side, and then drag & drop media to instantly replace or add images . It’s the fastest way to update images on any site building platform.

This new media panel gives you easy access to your media—what you've uploaded, Duda’s free stock collection, and more—all in one place, without leaving the page you’re working on.

Save time and clicks with instant image previews on the canvas

This update lets you preview different images before replacing one on the canvas . Just drag a new image over an existing one on the canvas to preview it. Drop it on the image to replace, or drop it back in the media panel to discard. It’s a big time-saver compared to the current image picker, with fewer clicks, faster decisions, and an easier way to find the perfect image match for the page or section.

Instant replacements, no matter the image source

Just drag and drop to replace the image, no matter where the original came from, whether it’s a widget, background, or the Content Library.

This new feature’s magic doesn’t stop with previewing or replacing images on the canvas - it also lets you add images to new spots on your site, even where none existed before.

Add new images on the site page, too

This keeps everything in one view without having the image picker window pop up and block the image you’re trying to replace on the canvas.

Easy to start, keep going, or pick up where you left off
The media panel will remember your filters, search terms, and even where you scrolled to, so you don't have to start over every time you use it. This helps you build sites faster and more efficiently.

A tool that keeps you in your (work)flow

Easily import images from social media, from another site (using its URL), all without having to go off on a tangent with all sorts of windows appearing on the canvas and interrupting your workflow.

Import media right then and there

Easy for you, your team, and your clients

This new revolutionary feature is so easy to use, you can do it yourself or have your clients jump in when you’re ready, and have them add or replace their site images on the canvas. It’s the ultimate productivity tool for using media in every site you build with Duda.

Works even for clients with limited editing permissions
Let your clients update their site's images directly, even if they don't have design permissions. The easy drag-and-drop feature for adding and replacing images means they can do it themselves without messing up your design, no matter the source of the image being replaced.

Please note the new drag & drop media panel on the canvas is still being gradually rolled out to all accounts, and is currently available in Editor 2.0 only.

Duda's Monthly Wrap Up (April)

annat.katz@duda.co (Annat Katz) — Fri, 02 May 2025 08:31:23 GMT

This post is part of our Monthly Wrap Up series - a collection of small product and feature improvements we’ve released in the past month.

We’ve improved the experience of connecting content library and other connected data to text widgets on your sites. This applies to both inline & text block data connections. Here’s a summary of the improvements:

Clear data source category titles for improved navigation - this will help you quickly navigate to and find the data field you’re looking to connect to any supported site widget or text block, whether it’s from the Content Library, a Collection, or more.
Edit the text after you connect it to data - a more intuitive flow making it easier to edit the text connected to data. Meaning you can connect a text to data first, and edit it right after, and these two actions are now separated instead of co-existing in the same dialog.
More Connect to Data options right in the Text widget - clicking the Connect to Data icon there will show a menu with different actions, including changing the data connection, editing the content and deleting the data connection altogether.

To help keep you in your flow as you design a header with a mega menu, now can edit it as soon as the mega menu section previews on hover when you're within the Navigation widget. This will save you much time and effort drilling down the Navigation widget’s options, or looking for it in the layers panel.

That's it for these Monthly Wrap Up updates. See you again next time :)

Need more theme colors? Here you go

Faster & easier mega menu editing

You can now add up to 20 colors to your site theme colors list. Whenever you set the last available color in the list, we’ll automatically add a new color slot for you, up to Color #20. Go ahead and design the way you w with extra speed and convenience.

More intuitive ways to connect widgets to data

New Scroll to Bottom linking option

We’ve added a new 'scroll to bottom' linking option in the link picker when editing buttons and icon widgets in Editor 2.0. This lets site visitors scroll directly to the bottom of the footer.

Revamped Product Options & Values to Streamline eComm Sites

Mon, 14 Apr 2025 01:06:05 GMT

We’ve released a new centralized designated area in the native store for managing product options and values. This improvement will save you time navigating through individual product pages, and will add a boost of efficiency to your eComm clients' business as they set up the product catalog with any variants.

One management page to rule them all

The new options management page is a single place where you can view, edit, and manage all the product options (and their respective values) set up in the store. It’s where you can add new options, edit existing option names, and manage their values, in addition to viewing how many products have each of these.

A better eComm maintenance workflow

With this update, cross-catalog option changes are made on the new centralized management page, while product-specific adjustments like reordering, and product specific value changes are made on the product page.

Lots of eComm features and tools your clients will love

Just a quick reminder that the native store has lots of powerful eComm capabilities you should know about and leverage for your clients. To see the most recent updates we’ve made to the native store, check out our Product Updates page .

Instantly update options & values across your site

The new centralized management page for all product options and values lets you easily make edits to any specific option and its respective values, like updating the colors your client's store items come in. Simply go to that color option, update the values it includes, and whichever products had that option will instantly update with that change.

We've also added the ability to reorder options at the product level (using a simple drag & drop), giving you the power to promote specific options as you or your client needs, or add more and reorder them to your liking.

New to product options?

In that case, we recommend starting on the product level: go to a product in the catalog, scroll down to product options, and choose the Add Option action to get started. Once you have at least one option set up, you'll have the Manage All Options button that will take you to the new options management page mentioned above.

Alternatively, you can use one of our templates with product options built-in by default, like the Optic Store.

Give eComm Clients the Power to Offer Customizable Products

Wed, 09 Apr 2025 13:15:05 GMT

The Duda eCommerce store now includes the option to offer personalized products to store customers, by adding a customization option that can be set up and appear on the live product page. The first type of product customization we've made available is free text input , perfect for offering textual personalizations like engraving on jewelry, text prints on t-shirts, greeting text for flower deliveries, or letting a customer describe in detail what they’re looking for.

How product customization can be sales booster

Product personalization is a great way to boost online sales by having justified premium pricing, and can increase average order value. In addition, unique, one-of-a-kind items like those offered through product customization can drive gift sales and organic marketing.

Easy to set up and manage

Getting started with your client’s first product customization is easy. Simply go to a product in the Product Catalog, and scroll down to product customizations :

1. Create a new customization

Hit the Create New Customization > Text Field and fill out the details, like entering the text field’s label, choosing if this should be a required step for the purchase, and more. Save the product.

2. Add the Customize Product widget to the product page

Go to the product page in the editor, and add the Customize Product widget. Place it wherever you want on the page, and it will automatically show the text customization you’ve set up in the catalog.

To make it easy for you, we’ve already pre-included the product customization + widget in templates you can use, like the Dog Store , Optic Store , Blank Native Store and the Watch Store (in Editor 2.0).

One screen to manage all the customizations in your catalog

To make it easy for you and your client to manage all the product customizations you’ve created in the Product Catalog, we’ve added a dedicated Product Customization screen you can access through the store operations left panel. There you can view all existing customizations, add new ones, edit individual ones on the spot, and delete customizations.

More customization types are coming

The text input personalization is the first one available. We plan to add more types in the future, including a file uploader for printing an image on a product, and a checkbox option for letting customers choose additional items. We’ll let you know when these are available of course!

The number of product customizations you can create per store depends on the site subscription you have. To add more than the limit, you can upgrade your site subscription.

Hover Animations for Sections, Columns, and More

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 07:43:22 GMT

We’re happy to announce a new series of hover animations we’ve added to Editor 2.0 to help you better engage site visitors with interactive visual movements for sections, columns , inner columns , and advanced grids .

Plus, we've got another little (but important) update we think you'll love: the ability to duplicate a section . Scroll down to read more.

Animations & effects options right from the design panel

This new update is in addition to the available animation effects that already exist in some of the widgets in the editor. Now, when selecting one of the containers, like a section, a column, an inner column, or an advanced grid, you’ll see a dedicated Animations & Effects drawer in your design panel for that selected element. There you can choose between the triggers entrance, scroll, and hover.

The hover animation for containers is what we want to highlight today, as it offers lots of different animations on desktop, including:

Shrink
Grow
Rotate
Move top
Move bottom
Apply opacity
Change to greyscale

And others…

What about hover animations in site widgets?

These still exist as they have until now - you’re welcome to add animations to widgets using each widget’s dedicated design panel, including the Photo Gallery, images, buttons, and many others.

Bonus update: You can duplicate sections!

That's right. We added the ability to duplicate an entire section on the canvas with a single click on the section's toolbar on the canvas. This will surely help to speed things up for you as you design and build your sites.

Enjoy this new update and go on to build great sites!

It’s here! The Mega Menu Comes to Editor 2.0

Mon, 31 Mar 2025 09:53:01 GMT

You can now add a mega menu to your Editor 2.0 sites’ headers and offer site visitors an easy and fast way to navigate and find what they want on the sites you build. The new mega menu transforms traditional dropdown into a beautifully structured, multi-column layout that can include subcategories, images, videos, icons, and buttons.

Built with the Editor 2.0 section = full design flexibility

Because the mega menu is built as any other section you use in Editor 2.0, the design possibilities are virtually endless. And even though you’ll have mega menu presets to choose from, you can customize each as much as you want, by adding elements and widgets to it, in addition to the more traditional links.

Need some inspiration? Here you go

See some of the mega menu designs you can achieve with this new update, by adding widgets and other elements right into the mega menu section. Also, remember that you can use any combination of these layouts to build your perfect mega menu:

How to add your mega menu

Add a new Navigation Links widget to your site, or open your site’s existing one.

Switch to the Custom Links option, and you’ll see the mega menu as one of the options there which you can add and then edit. Click the Edit Mega Menu link and this will take you to the open mega menu over your header, where you can view and tweak it the way you want.

Keep in mind that the mega menu is currently available only in navigation links with a horizontal layout.

Mega menu actions for a more efficient design process

In addition to customizing your mega menu to make it look the way you want, you can also duplicate the entire mega menu section and use it on the same site to save time designing. And soon, you’ll also be able to save an existing mega menu as a section to reuse it in other sites in your account, so stay tuned :-)

A mega menu with Advanced Tabs, perfect for promoting products, services, etc.

A mega menu with a Photo Gallery - another great way to showcase products, food and drinks of a restaurant, and more.

A mega menu with text links - the traditional mega menu layout for helping users better navigate the site or a store's large catalog of products.

Enjoy building sites with this important update! We're excited to see what sort of mega menu you'll build next :)

Another Advanced Widget with Total Design Flexibility: Advanced Accordion

Tue, 25 Mar 2025 09:10:34 GMT

Following the recent release of the Advanced Tabs, Editor 2.0’s fully customizable widget, we’re happy to update that we’ve now added the Advanced Accordion to this smart widget category. Both widgets offer unparalleled design customization power, allowing you to incorporate any widget or layout you want.

Add any widget or element to each accordion item

Whether you like to use an accordion widget for your sites’ Q&A content or for anything else, this advanced widget lets you insert any element or widget to the accordion’s inner column— the expanded content area. So anything from the obvious text, video, image, and button to the less obvious map, form, menu and more, can go here.

Customize each item the way you want it

Once of the cool things about advanced widgets is that you can design each of their component differently and independently. The choice, the design power, and the control is yours.

See for yourself

Check out these examples of how you can use the new Advanced Accordion, and how you can customize each item:

A timeless classic, the Martini blends crisp gin (or vodka) with dry vermouth, served chilled in a sleek glass. Garnished with a lemon twist or olive, it’s the perfect balance of sophistication and simplicity.

Add to Cart

Cocktails

Fresh and vibrant, the Basil Smash combines gin, zesty lemon, and fragrant basil for a refreshing twist. Lightly sweet with herbal notes, it’s a modern classic served over ice.

Add to Cart

Bright and citrusy, Orange Gin blends smooth gin with zesty orange flavors for a refreshing twist. Served over ice or in a cocktail, it’s a perfect balance of crisp and sweet.

Transform Your Content Collection Process with This AI-Powered Feature

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 13:20:50 GMT

We’re excited to finally release a game-changing solution to eliminate one of the biggest headaches for agencies and web pros in the site-building process. We’ve revamped the platform’s built-in Content Collection Form to make it ultra customizable and easy to use so you can get the essential content you need from your client faster and more efficiently than ever before. On the client side, the experience of submitting info and materials has never been so pleasant and intuitive.

From the form questions to deciding who fills it out, what the customer sees, and how their submitted content is used, we’ve improved every single aspect of this process to streamline your content collection and site-building workflow. And the bonus part - we added AI to the mix to power it up even further.

Get the content you need from clients before building their site

One of the first things you’ll notice that’s new is the option to start with content collection instead of starting to build a new site. This helps you work smarter by gathering key materials from your client upfront, so you can build the site around those rather than the other way around - having a site first, then constantly adjusting after the fact and ending up making lots of changes to accommodate the submitted content, like changing layouts, site texts, images, and more.

Personalize questions to your client with AI

Better questions mean better answers and a better site overall. That’s why we’ve made it easy, fast, and intuitive to customize the Content Collection Form to your client. You’ll start with a default set of questions you can use as-is, but the true value and leveraging power comes with customizing the form to your client.

In addition to controlling each form step’s visibility, you can add more questions of your own or ask AI to suggest relevant ones for you within seconds based on your client’s business and context. Quickly add the ones you want to the form and save, and the customized form is ready to go!

From your client, straight into the editor

Once your client submits the Content Collection Form, their data is saved within the project’s Content Library, where you can easily connect the business info and texts to widgets and elements in your site for super-fast site build. This means a huge boost in productivity while making sure your client’s info is consistent and up to date across their site.

Use AI to generate a site with the submitted content

Want to speed up your workflow even more? Once you’ve got the key info and content from your client, you can instantly create a site with the textual input your client has provided, using AI or with a template - you choose. This seamless integration speeds up website delivery and helps your agency add richer, more personalized touches to AI-generated sites. By automating the process, you can scale faster while still keeping a personal touch for every client.

We hope you find this feature helpful and a big productivity boost to how you gather materials from clients that you then base their site on. Enjoy and go on to build great sites!

Smarter Button & Icon Customizations, Pro Design Tutorials & More

Fri, 14 Mar 2025 10:13:16 GMT

As we keep rolling out more updates and improvements to how you design and build sites with our main editor, here are a few worth mentioning that give you more design customization power.

Design any button with any icon, any way you want

You now have a lot more design flexibility with multiple editing and customization options when working with buttons and icons. You can pretty much change and tweak any aspect of it:

Add any icon to any button layout (using any of the 1000s of icons from a free library)
Change the icon’s position, hover color or size
Change the distance between icon and button text

This applies to any new button you add to a site built with Editor 2.0 , including the click-to-call, click-to-email, and mobile buttons in the Map widget.

How does this affect existing buttons you have on your sites?

If your sites have buttons without icons and you wish to add icons to them, go to their design settings and toggle the show icon switch to enable it. For buttons with the previous icon version, go to the same design settings, then toggle the Icon option off, then on again to enjoy the new button with icon capability.

Revamped Learn area to help you design ‘wow’ effects

We’re adding more step-by-step tutorials to our Editor 2.0 library so you can quickly hone your advanced design skills and create engaging visual effects in the sites you build. These are available in the redesigned Learn panel, which you can quickly access right on the canvas as you design a site.

Create an effect where visitors see only the site navigation on scroll

You can now set your site header to show just the navigation widget as visitors scroll your site page. This is available in Editor 2.0 for advanced headers with multiple sections, where at least one of these contains a navigation widget.

How to set it up?

1. Enable the advanced header option, then add more sections to it

2. Under the Scroll Behavio r section in your header’s design panel, turn on the Set as sticky header and Change header on scroll options

3. Turn on the Show only nav section on scroll option

This works seamlessly across all breakpoints, and we also included this as a default effect in multiple Editor 2.0 templates for a cleaner, more focused navigation experience.

Here are some templates that include this scroll effect:

The Chef Restaurant template (here we also show the steps of how set this up):

The Optic Store template:

The Clothing Store template:

Within minutes, you can learn how to:

Create captivating text, images, and button cards
Use overlapping, responsive images
Create an engaging hero section
Set up a fixed newsletter signup form

Check out some of these new tutorials:

New Editor 2.0 templates to help you hit the canvas running

There isn’t much to say about these stunning new templates, because their design and functionality speak for themselves. Plus, a kind reminder that you can customize these to any business or vertical. Here they are:

Heritage Hotel

Chef Restaurant

Luxury Car Rental

That about wraps it up for these design updates. We hope you find these useful and that they'll help you design beautiful sites your clients will love.

annat.katz@duda.co (Annat Katz) — Fri, 28 Feb 2025 10:44:36 GMT

This post is part of our Monthly Wrap Up series - a collection of small product and feature improvements we’ve released in the past month.

More design tweaking power with inner columns

To help you speed things up while giving you more design control over your Editor 2.0 elements, you can now set and manage the space between your inner columns.

This can help your clients expand their global reach and generate more traffic by being a gateway to advertising products with Google Shopping in all the relevant languages.

This is available through the SEO & Settings > Google Tools section in the editor.

Hamburger Menu Widget & 5 More Powerful Header Customizations

Wed, 26 Feb 2025 11:02:21 GMT

A hamburger icon that doubles as a menu widget

You can now add a fully customizable hamburger icon to your header and use it as a menu widget in all screen sizes. Place it anywhere in the header, change its color or size, replace its icon, and more.

And since this doubles as a menu widget, you can control its design as well as its open and close behavior using a unique set of dedicated actions, including choosing which side of the screen it’ll open from (left, top or right).

What if I already have a hamburger menu on my existing sites?

We’ve made a seamless transition behind the scenes to update your previous hamburger icon with this new one. If you haven’t seen it already, we’ll notify you in the editor the next time you're there to let you review your header in the different breakpoints to ensure it looks the way you want it to.

Hamburger menu presets on desktop

We’ve added hamburger menu layout options to the header presets section, where you choose your layout. This means more ways to customize your site header.

More header customizations

In addition to the above, you can also control the header’s visibility on your site, on a per-page basis .

Want to hide the header from a specific page? You can easily do this through the More Actions menu on the canvas and then selecting either hiding it from this page or from all pages. To set the header to show there again, go to your Layers panel, find the layer the header is on, and click the visibility icon.

More header scroll effects to keep visitors engaged

Scroll effects (if done right) can enhance site visitors’ experience, your client’s branding, and the site’s navigation. To help you nail all three of these, we’ve added two scroll effect options to your site’s header (in both Basic and Advanced Header modes). Depending on the widgets in your header, the change header on scroll 's list of options will be available for different elements in the header, like text, buttons, icons (including social icons), and more.

Logo changes on scroll

This lets you add a touch of professional branding by using two forms of your client’s logo that change on scroll. It’s a cool way to keep visitors engaged while allowing them to explore the site’s content without interference.

Color changes on scroll

Depending on the widgets you’ve placed in your header, you’ll now have more scroll behavior settings in the design panel, for supported elements like text, buttons, icons (including social icons), and more.

And here’s something to help you speed things up - we’ve added the hamburger icon and menu to multiple Editor 2.0 templates, so you can hit the ground running with this new update built-in.

Any other header options you’d like us to add?

Let us know! Share your request on the Duda Idea Board and we’ll consider it for future development.

Automate Your Entire Blog Management with These New APIs + Webhooks

annat.katz@duda.co (Annat Katz) — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 12:47:02 GMT

We’re excited to share that we’ve added all CRUD data operations to the Blog APIs, offering Create, Read (or Get), Update, Delete, Publish, and Unpublish actions you can perform on data. This means you can automate the entire flow without needing to log into the platform.

Here’s the full list of the actions now available through API:

Create, update, and manage blogs at scale

This list of APIs provides you with flexible, efficient, and scalable tools for your site-building workflow and business. Here’s how:

Seamless content migration capabilities - letting you import blogs or single posts, making it easy to move content from other platforms.
A boost of productivity with enhanced automation - these will save you time by allowing bulk imports or quick updates—like publishing or unpublishing a post based on scheduling or other logic.
Scalability – manage high volumes of content across multiple client sites without any bottlenecks.
Headless content management - letting you fully manage your blogs without needing to access Duda one at a time.
More integration possibilities - so you can leverage adding AI-powered content creation using external tools like ChatGPT and incorporating those into your workflow—all through API.
Complementing Duda’s Site, Pages, and PageElements APIs - to create a fully managed site-building experience.

To dive deeper and start using these API’s, consult this documentation page .

Plus, webhooks to simplify offering writing services

We added a new webhook that gives you even more automation power in real-time, with these new triggered actions:

Receive a notification when a blog is added to a site
Receive a notification when a blog post is published

These notifications will improve the data you have on every site, making the incorporation of blog writing services a whole lot easier.

For more information about Blog-related webhooks, consult this documentation page . And to learn more about the Duda API library and the numerous ways it lets you create, enrich and manage sites at scale, visit our API portal .

Duda's Monthly Wrap Up (January)

annat.katz@duda.co (Annat Katz) — Sat, 01 Feb 2025 11:59:15 GMT

This post is part of our Monthly Wrap Up series - a collection of small product and feature improvements we’ve released in the past month.

Enjoy improved webhooks support for UTM parameters

We now support additional flexibility in UTM data for webhooks, mainly additional standard and dynamic UTM parameters. This will allow you to gain deeper insights into your marketing campaigns by capturing more detailed and flexible UTM data. This will also simplify tracking for diverse ad platforms, and can automate data collection for custom UTM parameters without requiring additional configuration.

So, what did we do?

The webhook will now recognize and process the following standard UTM parameters:

utm_source : Identifies the traffic source (e.g., Google, Facebook, Apple Search).
utm_medium : Specifies the marketing channel (e.g., PPC, social, email).
utm_campaign : Tracks specific campaign names or IDs.
utm_term : Captures search keywords (used for paid search).
utm_content : Differentiates similar content within a campaign (e.g., for A/B testing).
utm_id : Identifies the ad campaign reference.

For dynamic custom UTM parameters, here’s what we did:

Any parameter prefixed with utm_ (e.g., utm_custom ) will be captured dynamically, offering flexibility for custom tracking needs.

What about broad ad platform compatibility?

The solution is designed to work seamlessly with UTM parameters from various ad platforms, including Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Apple Search Ads, and more.

Please keep in mind that this update is focused on UTM parameters and doesn’t yet necessarily support capturing all arbitrary URL parameters.

Assign special tax rates to certain products with the new tax groups

We’ve added a new t ax groups feature in the native store, allowing you and your eComm clients to configure and apply different tax rates to specific product categories. This feature is particularly valuable for businesses operating in regions with reduced or special tax rates for certain products like books, food, alcohols, and more.

Here are this update’s highlights worth knowing:

This lets you assign unique tax rates to product groups and essentially override the default tax settings you have per region
This option is particularly useful for specific countries or regions, like for Germany (7% VAT on books vs. the country’s default 19% VAT)

Plus, you can now apply shipping tax overrides

In addition to the tax groups, you can customize the way taxes are applied to shipping fees per tax zone using shipping tax overrides . This is especially beneficial in cases where some regions exempt tax from shipping or have different tax rates. This update gives you more control over these cases.

To learn how to set up tax groups in your store, consult this support guide .

That's it for these Monthly Wrap Up updates. See you again next time :)

Hide related videos from your embedded YouTube video

Now, when a YouTube video you added to the site finishes playing on your live site, it will no longer show related videos from YouTube if you choose so. We’ve added a simple toggle option in the video widget’s settings panel you can use to enable hiding related videos.

New Advanced Tabs Widget with Unmatched Design Flexibility

Tue, 28 Jan 2025 10:07:25 GMT

We’re excited to introduce Duda’s first fully customizable widget: Advanced Tabs . Built for the ultimate design flexibility, it lets you customize every component it contains with ease. Available exclusively in Editor 2.0, the new Advanced Tabs is a smart design tool at your fingertips, built using the inner columns you're already familiar with.

So, what’s so special about the Advanced Tabs? Check this out:

Add any widget or element to the tab

Imagine the possibilities. You can add any widget or element to the tab’s content area, from the obvious text, video, image, and button to the not-so-obvious map, form, menu and so much more. This makes the Advanced Tabs an obvious choice for any vertical your client’s business may be from since customizing this new smart widget is so easy, intuitive, and fast.

Some examples of how you can customize each tab include: different menus, plans, product availability, branch locations, concert dates, and many others.

More design options like never before

Since the Advanced Tabs are made up of Editor 2.0’s flex inner columns, you can tweak each of these units' designs to your liking, without having any widget-specific design limits. That means you can make the design as simple or as elaborate as you want.

Use a combination of text, button and an image gallery to highlight important content and drive action. But there's more. Check out the other tabs.

The conventional

Add any media you want

Use any widget you want

Or a slider, or whatever!

And adjust the design just the way you want it.

Opening Hours

Mon-Friday: 09:00 AM - 07:00 PM

Saturday: 10:00 AM - 02:00 PM
Sunday: Closed

Make each tab as unique as you want it to be

To maximize your design flexibility with this widget, the Advanced Tabs lets you fully customize each tab separately - as much or as little as you need it. So you could have text in one tab, a video or gallery in the other, a form in the third, and so on. And the same goes for each tab’s design.

See some live examples - using the advanced Tabs here below.

Site Comments Now Available on Dynamic and Store Pages, and More

Fri, 24 Jan 2025 09:24:23 GMT

We’re happy to announce two updates we recently made to Site Comments. Both will help to streamline your communication with clients, and make getting valuable feedback from clients a whole lot better.

Add or see comments on Dynamic and store pages

The big one is that you can now leave and view comments on specific Dynamic and native store pages. This opens a new window of site-building workflow productivity, allowing you and your client to better communicate over the site you’re building for them.

Drag & drop the comment to see what it’s on

This smaller but just as important update lets you, your team, or your client move an existing comment’s window to see the specific site element it was left on in the canvas. This will give everyone involved a better visual context for what’s being discussed and allow you to act or respond much faster to that comment.

Released on both Editor 2.0 and the Classic editor, these two updates combined will boost your team’s productivity, and make the back-and-forth client feedback process all the more smoother and faster. Enjoy!

Rewinding 2024: The Top Moments

annat.katz@duda.co (Annat Katz) — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 11:31:58 GMT

We can't believe it's been a year, either

What an incredible year it's been. In the past 12 months a lot has happened in Duda, all with the intention of helping your agency shine and become more successful. From 270 product releases to industry-leading Core Web Vitals scores, beefed up eCommerce offering and lots of events, so much has happened it's hard to keep up.

That's why we made this Year in Review page for you to check it all out.

6 Updates to Help You Manage, Customize, and Scale Up eComm Sites

Fri, 10 Jan 2025 15:07:14 GMT

We’ve added several new features to Duda eCommerce, to help you build stores better with enhanced management and customization. These will improve the way you tailor eComm sites to each of your client’s needs. Plus, a special update to simplify moving your third-party store into the Duda eCommerce one.

Add as many store pickup locations as your client needs

Setting up a store pickup location has been available in the Duda store for a while now, but now we’ve added the option to add multiple locations. This will make it easier for clients to set up all the pickup points they need. Some examples of these include

businesses like a bakery with two or more branch stores, or one that has both a physical store and a warehouse, with the intention of offering pickup from both locations.

Set up more email notifications for clients

Easily add as many email addresses associated with your merchant client as you need, so your client and anyone on their behalf can receive store customer email copies, and instantly know whenever a new order comes in, among other updates. The option to add additional email recipients is available in a new section in your store overview called Store Emails > Notification Settings .

More efficient shipping operation with click-to-print packing slips

You can now print out packing slips much faster and right from a specific order’s details screen. This lets your clients have a clean and professional-looking template that includes all necessary information for accurate and efficient order fulfillment, packaging, and record-keeping.

The packing slip generated on demand is a formatted, printable view of the order containing the following details:

Order ID and date
Product details: SKU, product name, option (if applicable), and quantity
Shipping information: Customer name, shipping address, phone (if available)
Payment information: Customer name and billing address
Shipping instructions (if available)
Business name, address, and web address

Add opt-in and Terms & Conditions checkboxes at checkout

We know you’ve been waiting for this one. Under your store Settings tab > Checkout , we’ve added two new sections for customizing your checkout, marketing and store policies . The former lets you add a promotional opt-in checkbox, and the latter, a Terms and Conditions or other legal policy checkbox.

When selecting to add either of these, you’ll be able to customize the text that appears next to the checkbox to suit your client’s needs. The opt-in checkbox is optional at checkout and will be unchecked by default, meaning customers can complete their order without opting in. However, the Terms & Conditions checkbox, once enabled, will be a mandatory step in the checkout process.

Please keep in mind that your merchant will be legally responsible for creating and maintaining a Terms and Conditions or any other store policy page associated with this checkbox, and for drafting the legal disclaimer it includes, while Duda only makes this option available.

Import product options & variants from the third-party store

The option to import third-party store products into your Duda store via a CSV file now supports importing product options and variants as well. This supports options set up as radio buttons and a drop-down list. Once these are imported, we’ll automatically create the relevant product variants for you in the catalog, along with the relevant price.

More seamless transition between product pages and the catalog

This little improvement will allow you to work faster while setting up or managing your client’s catalog. When on a product page in the editor, you’ll now have a quick link in the top bar that takes you to that product’s settings page in the catalog. This is a big time saver and will help to streamline your eComm workflow.

Those were our recent updates to Duda eCommerce that will help you better build and manage online stores for your clients. And we've got more updates coming up, so stay tuned.

Wed, 08 Jan 2025 12:55:50 GMT

We invite you to stop by and find the app you need. Simply hit the App Store option in the editor’s left panel and start browsing.

Get More Blog Management & Customization Power

Mon, 06 Jan 2025 10:01:47 GMT

Using blogs for your client sites? Then this set of updates is for you. We’ve improved the way you can manage blogs with several updates, including enhanced bulk actions, importing blog posts from outside of Duda into Editor 2.0, and more.

Delete or unpublish multiple posts at the same time

In addition to the existing actions you can apply to multi-selected posts, you can now also delete and unpublish posts in bulk. This will allow you to manage client blogs faster and more efficiently.

Publish date corresponding to the site language

We’ve improved the date format shown on published posts in your blog - it will now show the date format that’s conventional with your site’s default language. This improves the user experience overall, and gives site visitors and blog readers the feeling that the site was made with them in mind.

An easy way to offer clients content services with Zapier automation

We wanted to remind you of a great automation hack we made available a couple of months ago, to streamline your blog post creation process without using a single line of code. This Zapier & Duda integration lets you trigger blog post creation from any apps or tools you use with Zapier to generate blog posts with the help of AI. The result? Blog posts are created automatically; all you have to do is hit the Publish button.

Learn more about this Zapier & Duda blog automation hack here >>

Import external posts into your Editor 2.0 blog

Newly added in Editor 2.0, you can now import external posts into your Duda blog with a single click, using an RSS feed. This is great for clients who have an older site with lots of content and wish to transfer it over to the new one you’re building for them on Duda, among other cases.

All the newly imported posts will get your Duda blog’s post layout, fonts, and colors to make sure you can hit the ground running and save time making any additional adjustments.

We hope these recent blog updates will simplify how you create and manage blogs or content for your clients. Have any other features you'd like us to consider adding? So share them on the Duda Idea Board .

Design Sites Better & Faster with These 7 Updates

Mon, 16 Dec 2024 11:57:59 GMT

We’ve made multiple improvements and updates to the Duda editor to help you build beautiful sites even better, with more design flexibility and customization options, so you can design sites your way. Get ready.

Save time with linked spacing

Now, when you set the spacing of a widget or a container, the opposite sides can be linked to make the spacing symmetrical while saving you time and extra clicks. Horizontal values will be linked by default, while vertical ones won’t (but you can click the chain icon to link them). This new option is available in both the padding and margin settings in Editor 2.0.

Enhance your site’s accessibility and SEO with the Color Contrast Ratio checker

Using the right color contrast ratio when building sites ensures that text elements are visually distinguishable from their backgrounds. This has several benefits, with the main ones being:

Better accessibility - An improved readability for users with visual impairments or color blindness
Improved user experience - Enhanced overall usability by reducing eye strain and better navigation clarity
A boost of SEO - An overall better user experience and optimization for accessibility means search engine algorithms will rank your site higher if it includes the right color contrast ratios

Cut per-device tweak time with automated default font sizes

We added default font size limits (which you can always override), to help you save time designing textual content per screen size with the Text widget. These size limits give you self-adjusting text sizes per screen size when using values within the limits. This time-saver is available in Editor 2.0.

Easily add & customize a 'back to top' button

You can now add a Back to top CTA on any site page in Editor 2.0 with an anchor link destination. Pair it with the Fixed button position to show the back-to-top button in the same position as users scroll up and down the page. You can apply this to buttons and icons, and it works seamlessly across all screen sizes.

When selecting colors in both the Classic editor and Editor 2.0, you’ll see the new Color Contrast Ratio checker with either a failed (red X) or passing score of AA or AAA. These will let you know if the color contrast ratio of the text element you selected is good.

Set an image’s position per screen size

You can now decide where a regular or background image will be positioned on the element it shows on, to customize its appearance per screen size. This gives you the freedom to set a unique look and feel for desktop, tablet, and mobile, using the same image but with a different position setting.

This is available in Editor 2.0 and the Classic editor’s Flex Mode.

More List widget design customization with per-device layouts

We all know there isn’t a one-size-fits-all when it comes to web design. Using the same layout for all devices is less than ideal. That’s why we added per-device layouts to the List widget : You can choose a certain layout for desktop and tablet screens and another one for mobile.

This update is available in Editor 2.0.

New Editor 2.0 template: Chef Restaurant

We added a stunning new template to our ever-growing collection for you to use, that encapsulates the essence of a professionally designed, high-performing site. Even though this one's ideal for restaurants and hospitality businesses, you can customize this template to suit any vertical of your choice.

This template includes a gorgeous homepage, an about us, a page for menus, one for making reservations, and another for getting in touch. And as always, our templates are Core Web Vitals optimized by default, to give you a great SEO start ��

That wraps it up for this round of design updates. We hope you find these useful and beneficial to your workflow, and help you and your team get more out of Duda. More updates coming up soon...

Boost Sales & Reach Global Customers with Translated Store Pages

Fri, 13 Dec 2024 09:19:14 GMT

You can now translate all the pages of your clients’ Duda eCommerce sites (aka native store), including the entire catalog and all store areas, making online stores available in multiple languages. In addition, you can now add a store to an existing site that already includes additional languages (scroll down to learn more about this).

Multilingual store pages offer an enhanced shopping experience that can help boost conversions and increase sales. It also helps to extend accessibility to global audiences, especially in regions like Canada and the EU where multilingual content is often legally required.

Add languages & translate the store in minutes

This new multilingual option in the store offers a quick automated translation using Google Translate, reducing the time, effort (and headache) often involved in making a site multilingual. Here, with the click of a button, you can instantly translate all products, categories, subcategories, product options, and other store pages with a single click.

Easy to get started, simple to manage

First, add the languages you want

This can be done through the editor’s SEO & Settings tab > Site Languages. Add the ones you want, and then open your store management tab. There, you’ll see a newly added Store Languages tab. Click that to manage, edit and manually enter translations for your store.

Prefer to enter translations manually? No problem. Simply enter your translated text into the relevant field under your new Store Languages tab and it will be saved.

Easily add a store to a multilingual site

As mentioned above, you can now add a store to an existing multilingual site. To make it super easy for you to incorporate your store into it, once you add the store we'll automatically create store pages in all your existing site languages. In addition, all your catalog listings will automatically get translated and be available in your Store Languages tab in your store operations view.

A complete localized experience from A to Z

What about your store’s cart, checkout, and customer emails? With this new store languages update, these store areas will display the language the customer selected when they visited the store at the time of purchase. This means a customized shopping experience from browsing to order confirmation.

As a kind reminder, you should know that having the store available in multiple languages does not mean having an online store with multiple currencies . That's a separate feature we plan to add to the store in the future.

To learn more about adding translations to your store, visit this support guide .

Next, manage translations of all other store areas

To make it simple to jump between the translations of all store sections and areas, you’ll find a quick dropdown menu on your Store Languages page, where you can navigate between products, categories, and options.

Simply select the store catalog or section you want, and either click the Translate with Google button to instantly have all fields for those products, categories, or options translated into the respective language you’re on, or manually enter your own to specific fields—you’re always in control.

An extra perk of this feature? Adding, removing, or updating translations of active catalog products immediately updates them in your live site without the need to republish.

Want to see what your translated store pages look like? Use the Open in Editor shortcut button to do that (see it in the video below). In addition, if you made any edits to a product in your site’s default language, you can easily update the translations using the Translate with Google action to update or override the existing one.

New! Limit Shipping by ZIP or Postal Codes in Duda eCommerce

Tue, 10 Dec 2024 11:26:00 GMT

We’re excited to announce a new feature that brings even more flexibility and control to the online stores you build for clients: the ability to limit shipping locations by zip and postal codes. This powerful tool ensures your eComm client can precisely define where their products are delivered, giving you even more site-building customization power.

Why limit shipping by zip & postal codes?

This feature is a game-changer for businesses with specific delivery areas. For instance, if your client is running a local bakery, a floral shop, or other companies that serve certain neighborhoods, you can help them ensure deliveries stay within a manageable radius. This precision not only simplifies logistics but also prevents customers outside your client’s service area from placing orders the merchants can’t fulfill.

Easily add all the relevant zip or postal codes you need

Entering as little or as many postal codes as you need is simple. You can manually enter them in your shipping zone, separated by a comma, copy and paste a list, or, if you want to include a long list of zip codes that start with the same digit(s), you can use a wildcard (*). For example, to enter all the zip codes that exist in Brooklyn (11XXX) and Queens (11XXX) in New York, all you have to do is enter 11* .

See this example for entering multiple postal codes in Canada:

Build your client's dream store with Duda eCommerce's powerful features

Duda eCommerce is packed with features that can help your clients' businesses grow and thrive online. Discover capabilities like:

Getting live rates from couriers like UPS and FedEx, plus buying shipping labels via automated shipping (powered by Easyship)
In-store pickup
Multiple product types (physical, digital, service-based and donations)
Taxes included in product price
Adding video and other content blocks to the product page
Accept offline payments

And even more features and capabilities are coming soon, so stay tuned!

Easily set up these postal code restrictions in your shipping settings, and you’re ready to go. Whether your client is focused on hyper-local deliveries or scaling up, limiting shipping by zip and postal codes ensures they can deliver efficiently, and build trust with their customers. It also lets merchants offer local delivery in certain zones and use couriers for zones they can't deliver to.

4 Product Gallery Updates to Help Clients Show & Sell More Products

Fri, 06 Dec 2024 09:43:19 GMT

We’ve added four important updates to the Product Gallery widget in Duda eCommerce that will help your clients showcase and sell more of their products. Check these out:

Speed up the time from browsing to purchasing

We've added an option to show or hide a button on displayed products, and you can choose what it does when clicked: it can either instantly add that product to the cart or take the visitor to that product page in the store.

This button’s visibility will be turned off by default for Product Galleries that already exist on published sites, so you and your client can decide what’s best for their site before showing the button in the gallery.

What about products with options?

In this case, the button will show the text See Options and will redirect to the respective product page so visitors can choose the option they want for that product before adding it to their cart.

Enjoy a lot more sorting customization power

You now have more ways to choose the order of products that show in your Product Gallery. Enjoy this improved list of display sorting options based on what your eComm client needs or wants:

Product Catalog Order (the order you've set in Store Operations > Product Catalog)
Price: Low to High
Price: High to Low
Newest First
Oldest First
Recently Modified

Show main product categories in the gallery & more display options

In terms of what you want the Product Gallery to display, you now have more customization flexibility and control with this updated options list:

All Products
All Categories & Subcategories
Main Categories Only
[Specific category based on your catalog]

Show important pricing info in the gallery

For stores that have the tax included in the product price or the lowest price history enabled, you’ll have the option to show these details in the Product Gallery as well - they'll be set to show in the gallery by default if the store has these pricing settings.

Where to find these in the Product Gallery?

To show the tax included in price, open the Gallery's Content tab and check the Tax indication checkbox under Displayed Attributes. To tweak its design, open the Gallery's Design tab, expand the Text drawer and select the Text tab > Additional Price Info. The design settings will apply to both the tax included in price and the lowest price history indication if you’ve set them to show in the store.

We hope you find these Product Gallery updates useful and beneficial for your new and existing eComm clients. Expect to see more store features and improvements coming your way soon - we’ve been cooking up exciting new updates for you ��

Duda Sets a New Standard in Web Performance

Mon, 02 Dec 2024 09:32:14 GMT

We’re thrilled to share an important milestone in website building. Duda has become the first CMS to achieve an impressive 80% Core Web Vitals (CWV) pass rate .

This means most sites built on the Duda platform meet Google’s standards for speed, responsiveness, and visual stability. It's a win for us, but most importantly, a win for you and other agencies that build and create high-performing sites for clients.

What are Core Web Vitals, and why do they matter?

Just to jog your memory, CWV is a set of metrics Google uses to measure a site's user experience. These include factors like how fast a page loads ( Largest Contentful Paint ), how quickly it responds to user interactions ( Interaction to Next Paint ), and how stable the visual layout is while loading ( Cumulative Layout Shift ). Having high CWV scores not only enhances your site’s visitors' experience but also improves its SEO ranking, helping it stand out in search results.

Don't just take it from us

This achievements was mentioned by the Core Web Vitals Technology Report (cwvtech.report) - see it here .

A quick note about the INP metric : Google introduced this relatively new one early this year, and we made an effort to optimize INP for all Duda sites. As you can see in the graph above, the results speak for themselves.

Constantly improving site performance to empower agencies and SaaS companies

Achieving this milestone is yet another testament to Duda’s continual commitment to delivering high performance. Along with our recent launch of our performance-driven Editor 2.0 , Duda makes constant improvements under the hood, like:

Working with our app partners to optimize apps for performance
Improving and optimizing Javascript performance
Optimizing font loading
Identifying and preloading LCP images
Lazy loading of images and iframes only when scrolled to
Optimizing CSS size and order
Optimizing images

And a lot more. All these combined help agencies and SaaS companies deliver exceptional client sites. With Duda, you can build sites that excel in speed, reliability, and overall user experience. By focusing on Core Web Vitals, we’re ensuring that you’re not just meeting industry standards—you’re leading the way. And when your clients are happy, your business thrives. That’s a win-win.

Duda's Monthly Wrap Up (November)

annat.katz@duda.co (Annat Katz) — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 10:52:33 GMT

This post is part of our Monthly Wrap Up series - a collection of small product and feature improvements we’ve released in the past month.

Easily free up a custom domain from an old site & connect it to a new one

You can now easily free up a custom domain you own, meaning to disconnect it from an old or previous Duda site, and connect it to another one—all on your own. Simply go through the steps of changing a site’s domain or connecting one you already own, and we’ll guide you through it.

A facelift to getting site assets from clients

We made several UX improvements to the content collection form you send to clients. The renamed Site Assets Form (since that’s what this form essentially provides you with), clicking the Get Site Assets button in the Content Library will trigger a popup.

There, you can instantly click to email it to clients, and decide whether submitted form inputs the client has made will override your site’s Business Info and Text fields.

On the client side, they’ll have a totally revamped and redesigned interface to provide their input. We’ve also made this form super easy to use on mobile, to make sure your client can provide you with the site assets you need wherever they are.

That's it for these Monthly Wrap Up updates. See you again next time :)

Change your site’s default language AFTER adding languages

Building or managing sites with multiple languages and translated pages? Well, it’s now possible to change the site’s default language to one of the other languages you added. This gives you and your clients a lot more flexibility, freedom, and makes managing multi-lingual sites a whole lot easier.

Please keep in mind this update is being gradually rolling out to all accounts.

What’s New in Editor 2.0: Enhanced Features You Should Know About

Fri, 22 Nov 2024 09:30:14 GMT

We’re excited to tell you about the new features we added to Editor 2.0 , so that you can build sites better and faster using our finest editor yet. Let’s go.

More design flexibility with fixed and pinned widgets

Get visitors engaged by adding an attention-grabbing effect of a widget that's fixed or pinned on the page as visitors scroll up or down. This can be used, for example, to set a static button to the bottom corner of the screen, to drive an action like signing up, making a purchase, or learning more about something the business offers.

In the Classic editor, the fixed position option is available as the “floating button”. But here in Editor 2.0, it’s not contained to just a button or a fixed position only. Along with the fixed position option for widgets and inner columns, you’ll also find the pinned position setting which lets you keep a widget fixed to its parent element as visitors scroll up and down the page.

Make an impression with Parallax scrolling

Parallax is a design effect where background elements move slower than foreground ones as you scroll down a webpage. This creates an illusion of depth and a more dynamic, engaging visual experience. This is now available in Editor 2.0, and you can apply it to your site designs, including mobile and tablet screen sizes . In addition, you can set a static image background for all screen sizes, too.

Another bonus regarding Parallax in Editor 2.0? You can apply this effect to columns and inner columns , not just sections.

Go ahead and use the Parallax effect to grab visitors’ attention and encourage them to explore more of the page.

Import another blog into your Editor 2.0 site

You can now import blog posts (from other web platforms or other Duda sites) into your site blog on Editor 2.0, using an RSS feed link. It’s as easy as that. Imported posts will be added as draft (unpublished) posts to your blog, giving you the flexibility to publish them individually or in bulk.

Want to do it the other way around? No problem. You can export your Editor 2.0 blog posts to an RSS feed as well.

Streamline client feedback with Site Comments

Site Comments is available in the Classic editor, but in Editor 2.0 this features offers an enhanced and improved experience. Save yourself the time and effort involved in the back-and-forth of sharing your design with clients, getting their feedback, tweaking the design, and so forth.

See added comments right on the canvas with the exact visual location it refers to for faster progression and a more streamlined collaboration. This will also help to ensure the final result is one your client is truly happy with.

Easy permission control

For every site you work on, you can choose which clients and team members have permission to add or edit comments, so you’re always in control.

Site Comments is available with the Team account plan or above.

That's it for this round of recent Editor 2.0 updates. We hope these will help you build and launch beautiful, top-performing sites your clients love and appreciate much faster. Stay tuned for the next round of Editor 2.0 updates!

New Zapier Actions to Generate Blog Posts and Automate Client DIY Flows

Mon, 18 Nov 2024 13:20:04 GMT

We’ve added two new actions you can automate with Zapier to supercharge your work. These include automating blog post creation, and creating a new client plus assigning them permissions to edit a site.

Let’s take a closer look at what these are, and how they can streamline your workflow:

Automate blog post creation, no dev required

This new action lets you trigger blog post creation from work management tools or, if you want, can let your clients request new blog posts using any number of apps or tools. Then, use Zapier to generate blog posts with the help of AI and the post will automatically be created on their site.

This new capability allows you to offer clients content services at a much lower cost. And the best part? You don’t need any dev work to do it.

Check it out:

Offer a DIY flow for clients without using a single line of code

If you’re an agency or Saas company that wants to offer clients a do-it-yourself site creation flow, but you currently don’t have the necessary dev resources for it, this one’s for you. With the new client creation Zapier action, you can make it happen, and without using a single line of code.

This new Zapier action can be triggered by any number of events, from filling out a form to adding a row in a spreadsheet, and so on. To give an example of what this can do, we’ve created a template for creating a site and client in Duda when a new form is submitted , but you can customize this integration using whatever tools or apps you want:

New Form Response - This could be submitted by your salesperson for example, to fill out a new prospect’s information
Create a Site - that will be used later on by the client
Create Client + assign permissions - so that prospective client will have access to choose a template and edit it to build their site in the editor
Send link to the site via Slack DM - invite that prospect to log in via a link, and follow the DIY flow

Please note that this capability is available with the Team account plan and above.

Please note that offering clients an option to build their site is a premium feature available with the Custom plan.

Lots more ways to automate your workflow via Zapier

There are virtually endless ways for you to integrate Duda with the apps and platforms you use for your business. Explore the vast range of integration capabilities with Duda & Zapier, here .

Whiz Through Site Building with These 3 New AI Features

tal.levi@duda.co (Tal Levi) — Fri, 15 Nov 2024 09:23:24 GMT

We’ve recently added three different AI-based features you can use separately or in combination to help you slash the time it takes to plan and build a site. These are page recommendations , page layout suggestions , and full-page content generation .

Next stop: the page builder

Already know what pages you need for your site? Then use the Suggest Page Layout option in the page builder to cut design time even further. It’ll suggest a layout made up of carefully selected sections in the right order, to match the business and page goal. Layout suggestions are also great when applied to recommended pages if you’ve done that first.

Use these independently or together.

The choice is yours

Already have a certain page layout in mind? Then use the page builder to set it up and then just add content using AI. Or, leverage all 3 features together from start to finish to generate site pages with content in minutes.

Want to add your personal touch or something else your client asked for? You can always edit each page’s goal in the page builder to add specific things you want to highlight, like optimizing the content for SEO by mentioning specific keywords, and more.

Please note that to enjoy these page-building features, you’ll need to have the Team account plan or above with the AI permission enabled.

We're excited to see the amazing sites you'll build for clients with these new updates—and how much time and effort you'll save in the process. Enjoy, and keep creating great sites!

When you need inspiration: AI page recommendations

The new page recommendation feature matches you up with the best pages for your site and proceeds to help you build each recommended page with the page builder we released last August. The result is a streamlined way to create complete pages that are best for the business.

From a recommendation to a full site page—in minutes

Just go to the Pages panel to get started. Based on just a few quick business profile questions, we’ll use AI to generate and show you a list of pages to help the business shine and engage visitors.

Once you choose the recommended pages you want to proceed with, you can go ahead and add content yourself to each (later, in the editor), or get a fully designed page with content using AI in the page builder—it’s up to you.

The cherry on top: Full-page content generation

Whether you want to use this option for a page layout you’ve built yourself or for one the page builder has suggested for you, this step will give you yet another time-saving boost: with the click of a button you can have AI generate images and texts for all the sections on the page you’re building . These, too, are tailored to the business behind the site based on its AI business profile and each page's goal (which you can always edit if needed).

Full control over sections and their content

You remain the conductor of this wonderful orchestra at every step of the page creation process, by having the option to tweak and refine each section’s prompt, and regenerating each section's text and images.

Site Links Audit Tool to Boost SEO and Add More Value for Clients

Tue, 05 Nov 2024 14:47:34 GMT

Meet the new audit tool we added to the SEO section in your Site Dashboard : Internal and External Links . These new additions let you review and optimize your internal and outbound site links, with an option to instantly fix any related issues we’ve found while scanning the links—all in one place.

Eye-level SEO breakdown and action items

We’ve built these links SEO tools to offer industry-grade optimization capabilities, but removed the tech-y language and feel. We wanted to make this an easy to use tool that clearly shows you what’s going on with your site’s internal and external links and with quick ways to improve them, where needed.

In addition, you’ll easily see which page a link is found on and what widget it’s linked to, in the summary table in both the Internal and External Links tabs.

All your anchor text links are there, too

These link texts are especially important for accessibility for the purpose of facilitating the readability of screen readers, and of course for SEO, since Google crawls these links to better understand their connections, assess their credibility, and to index your site pages. Link texts also give more context and improve the user experience when used as meaningful phrases like Download your user guide vs. Click here .

The only site-building platform with a built-in set of link audit tools

The Internal & External Links checker tools, in addition to the existing SEO Overview audit page, are all Duda-native, and at no extra cost to your account plan. This gives you the utmost freedom to choose if you want to include these SEO audit capabilities as an included service for new clients or an extra one for existing clients.

To learn more about the new Internal & External Links SEO feature, visit this support guide .

See, identify, and fix—in an instant

The Internal and External Links audit tools aim to boost the productivity of your ongoing site optimization workflow. That means you can see, review, and fix any links that require your attention within seconds.

Have a broken link? You can get that link up and running quickly by setting up a URL Redirect or going to the editor to update the link manually right away. There, the linked element will be highlighted so you won’t need to search for it.

Put Site Membership on Auto-Pilot and Drive More Client Revenue using API

annat.katz@duda.co (Annat Katz) — Tue, 29 Oct 2024 10:40:35 GMT

We’ve added new quick edit suggestions right into the AI Content Assistant dialog box, to allow you to shorten, lengthen, and improve text better and faster.

To give an example, if your suggested text is longer than expected, you can easily ask the Assistant to cut it short right here at the click of a button, without needing to re-select the text and open Assistant's text menu all over again.

An added bonus: these actions are also available when generating SEO meta tags for individual fields (only title or description).

New! Change workspaces to easily work on all your accounts

We've added the ability to add inline binding to a page's head HTML. Until now you could connect a Dynamic Page's meta title and meta description to the site’s internal collection, to dynamically show metadata for each page item.

So what’s new? You can now add other metadata, and insert custom code to the Dynamic Page's head HTML. Another option that’s now possible is to connect Content Library fields to the <head> section of regular (non-Dynamic) site pages.

That's it for this month's Wrap Up. We hope you find these useful. Got an idea or a feature request? Stop by our Idea Board and post it.

We’ve added the option to quickly log in to other workspaces you might need to when working on multiple accounts.

Your Duda profile menu now includes the option to Change Workspace . Opting for this option will show you the available accounts, and clicking each of these will put you through the login to the other account.

More code customization power with your Dynamic Pages

New Title

New Paragraph

SEO Opportunities prioritizes recommendations based on potential traffic, using your unique ranking position and click-through rates. After integrating with Google Search Console, the app will provide you with a prioritized list of opportunities like title optimizations and internal link suggestions.

Why we love this app?

SEO Opportunities has a lot of features that make it worth checking out if you are interested in optimizing your site's SEO. For example, the app highlights boilerplate content that might have slipped through the review process. After moving through things like broken links or missing content, the app will also recommend title improvements and internal link suggestions. I n addition, the app's editor toolbar gives you at-a-glance SEO information about the page you are editing, without having to open another window.

SEO Opportunities will analyze 5 pages for free, and its paid plans start at $5/month.

Duda’s Site Membership now has API capabilities to help you build sites with members-only access faster and at scale while managing entire communities of visitors and customers that follow your clients’ businesses.

Although you can use any of these APIs independently, when they’re used in combination, they can put your membership-based site-building workflow on a virtual auto-pilot, and help your clients generate an additional income source online.

Here are the new APIs

These are the APIs we recently added for your use:

Get , update , or delete members
Reset member’s login password
Get , create , or delete membership invitations
Get , create , update , or delete membership groups

As you can see, between these various APIs you can essentially set up and manage Site Membership with the ease of simple API calls while the value your agency can bring to potential clients is immense.

How does it all play out? Check out these two examples:

Case study 1 - Gym and trainer management

Let’s say FitnessOne is a gym and trainer management SaaS company, offering gym and fitness brands an easy way to manage their customer audiences online.

FitnessOne builds each gym a site where the latter can post content like paid video sessions and online-only classes. The gyms can still sign up people in person but the site is where customers can log in and view that premium content.

So how does FitnessOne make this possible for gyms? Once a new customer signs up in person at the gym or with the trainer, they automatically get an invite . If customers cancel their membership, they are automatically deleted .

What about all the gym customers who signed up for the same class or a session with the same trainer? They’re automatically added to a specific member group for easy management.

Case study 2 - University student clubs

A public university in a southern US state needs to create and manage sites for the institution’s many and various student clubs.

Using Duda’s Create Site and Membership APIs is right up their alley. This means that using API, they can quickly create a site for each student club, and automate the student (or member) group creation too, handle students’ invites in bulk , and automate the membership status as students graduate from the university or leave the club (i.e., deleting their member status) .

And how can they handle students forgetting their online club login password? The university can easily connect the reset member password API to their own platform or automated emails so that members who forget their password can reset it.

As you can see, Duda’s APIs, and specifically, the recent Site Membership ones can really help you scale and automate the site member management for your clients. The potential additional added revenue is huge, making these new APIs a no-brainer.

For more information on the Duda API library and the numerous ways it lets you create, enrich and manage sites at scale, visit our API documentation portal .

Please note that API access is available with the Custom plan .

CSV Import and More Updates to Streamline Your Collection-Based Sites

Fri, 18 Oct 2024 09:50:45 GMT

New Paragraph

Notify store customers about their refunded order

Edit text faster with quick AI Content Assistant actions

We’ve added the option to quickly log in to other workspaces you might need to when working on multiple accounts.

New Title

We’ve made a few product updates to our Collections management area in the Content Library, to help you build sites based on datasets better and faster. Here we go:

Import data or an entire collection from a CSV file

This is an option many of you asked for with regards to internal collections: you can now import an entire dataset to a blank internal collection, add new collection rows or update the data of an existing one, all using a simple CSV file upload.

This lets you quickly manage and update the content of multiple Dynamic pages in bulk, for example, importing ‘sold’ real-estate listings into an existing properties database instead of doing it manually one by one.

To start with the import, simply go to your internal collection and select the Import from CSV menu action item. For a newly created collection, make sure you first set up all the collection fields you plan to add with the right names and types.

Next, download the CSV template file, update your data, and save. Upload that saved file into the designated area and voila. If there are any issues with your imported data, we’ll show you a quick report to let you know what didn’t go through and how to fix it.

Please note that the import feature currently supports the following fields: plain text, rich text, and images (images with links only - other images won’t upload).

Manage non-Dynamic pages connected to your site collection better and faster

Enabling data from a collection on regular site pages isn’t new. What we improved, however, is the experience of making it happen. Now, we’ll show you a popup to explain what’s about to happen and include a handy dropdown menu where you can quickly click to select the non-Dynamic site pages you want to connect to the collection, instead of manually typing in the page path.

What’s the use case for connecting a collection to regular site pages?

We know that some agencies prefer to let clients edit their site content by filling out collection fields, rather than by editing the text directly on the canvas in the editor, to minimize the risk of unintentionally breaking the design. If this is a concern for you, too, using an internal collection for content might work for you.

Easily make buttons and other linkable widgets click-to-call or click-to-email CTAs

You can now link phone and email fields to widgets that can bind to entire collections, like image or product galleries, lists, or even media slider widgets. This means that fields like buttons in, say, the Photo Gallery can act as click-to-call or click-to-email CTAs based on the type of field they are linked to. The result? A boost in conversions.

Those were our recent updates to Duda’s Collections, and we’ve got more coming up. In the meantime, if there’s any special feature you’d like to see in our Collections or Dynamic pages, feel free to post it on the Duda Idea Board .

Store Customers Can Now Pay in More Ways with Manual Payment Options

Tue, 15 Oct 2024 14:46:48 GMT

Your eComm clients can now add manual (offline) payment methods to their store's checkout, to accept payments outside the site online while offering store customers many more ways to pay for their purchases. This means accepting payments in cash, checks, bank transfers, and payments by phone, among others.

Aside from providing store customers with more flexibility and confidence, manual payment methods can be a better option for some businesses that need them.

An example can be service providers like law firms, landscapers, spas, etc., that get paid after the job or service has been performed, or when large orders or B2B transactions are made. Another benefit of manual payments is the cost saved on transaction fees and commissions incurred by digital payment gateways.

Here are just some of the payment types the new manual payment method supports:

Bank transfer
Pay in store
Cash on Delivery (COD): Where the customer pays a courier in cash when the product is delivered. The business confirms payment after receiving it from the delivery service.
Checks
Offline credit card processing : Where the business owner or representative takes the customer’s card details over the phone or through another method and manually processes the payment using an offline terminal.
Other local methods: This can include regional payment methods or in-person transactions that don’t involve online payment gateways.

And many others, too!

Easy management

Setting up your store’s manual or offline payments is easy - you’ll see it as an option on the main Accepting Payments (formerly Payments) screen in your store’s dashboard. Simply give it a name, add the payment instructions you’d like to show customers once they receive an order confirmation email, and save.

How will this work for customers? They'll have it as an option at checkout, and will be notified via email when their order is placed, and once again when it’s marked as paid.

Since these payment methods are set up manually, it’s up to you - the site admin or your eComm client to confirm the payment before marking the order as paid in the store’s management dashboard.

Great for physical businesses with an online store

This new manual payment method is a good option for getting paid in cash in-store or by phone, and a way for the business to drive more physical traffic into the store. And it perfectly complements the store’s pickup option , for a complete seamless purchasing experience, easily updated in the store’s Orders section.

For more information about the manual (offline) payment method, visit this support article.

A quick reminder of the store's other features you can leverage when building eComm sites

Duda eCommerce comes packed with features that can transform your clients' business and help it scale and grow. Check these out if you haven't yet:

Automated shipping powered by Easyship
In-store pickup
Multiple product types (physical, digital, service-based and donations)
Taxes included in product price
Adding video and other content blocks to the product page

Duda's Monthly Wrap Up (September)

annat.katz@duda.co (Annat Katz) — Wed, 02 Oct 2024 15:28:39 GMT

This post is part of our Monthly Wrap Up series - a collection of small product and feature improvements we’ve released in the past month.

Help clients sell to more customers by having multiple tax rates per location

Duda eCommerce now supports multiple tax rates per location, including national, federal and city taxes that may apply within the same overall region. Each tax within the same location will automatically show at checkout and in order related emails with the relevant tax calculation.

Want to help your clients be extra sure they’re charging the right tax amount per location? Discover the automated taxes integration right within Duda eCommerce for a seamless tax calculation and order fulfillment.

It’s now easier to locate specific orders in your store’s Orders list

Another small yet ‘make-your-life-easier’ Duda eCommerce update, this one lets you or your eComm clients quickly search for orders using the customers’ name, email, or invoice number. This means that even if the store’s order history is a long one, any particular order can be easily located using one of these identifying details.

A stunning new Editor 2.0 template you can apply to any service-based company site

This bold & beautiful cleaning services template is a recent addition to Editor 2.0 , to give you yet another great starting point when building great-looking, high-performing sites at speed for your clients.

Instead of re-inventing the wheel for your service-based client or re-purposing one of your existing (and possibly slightly out-dated) templates, use this one our experienced UX designers have carefully redesigned from the Classic editor. And this is just one of the many existing templates you’ll find in Editor 2.0, with many more to come…

That's it for these Monthly Wrap Up updates. See you again next month.

New table reservation app in the Duda App Store: OctoTable

This cool app makes it possible to get table reservations directly from Google Search and Google Maps. Designed for restaurants and bars, OctoTable is easy to add to add and manage. There aren’t any additional commission fees or extra costs for new reservations - it's all included in your OctoTable app subscription. Get it now via the Duda App Store .

Introducing Editor 2.0: Design with More Flexibility, Precision & Performance

Wed, 18 Sep 2024 11:58:10 GMT

We’re happy to announce that our new editor based on cutting-edge technology, Editor 2.0 is out of beta, following a year of gathered feedback, lots of new features, and countless usability tests. We’re now gradually rolling it out as an available option alongside your existing Classic editor, giving you the freedom to choose which one to use for each new site you build.

Editor 2.0 has been the exclusive editor for all new Duda account users for a while now, and thousands of sites built with Editor 2.0 are already live online. See why it's the go-to editor choice of many agencies, here .

Why Editor 2.0 is our best editor yet

Editor 2.0 offers a seamless design experience from start to finish, with powerful design capabilities and responsiveness that’s as easy to use as dragging & dropping elements on the canvas. It’s based on a completely new layout system taking advantage of Flexbox and CSS grid technologies, reusable components, and a server side rendering model .

The result? You get to design the exact site you want much faster and more efficiently while maintaining full customization control over each element’s position and behavior, regardless of the screen size.

What about performance? Well, you’ll be happy to learn that sites built on Editor 2.0 are faster and get higher CWV scores.

Design features available only on Editor 2.0

In addition to working seamlessly with all the tools and features you’re familiar with—Duda’s AI Assistant, Duda eCommerce, Site Membership, Site Comments, widgets & apps, etc.—you’ll find exclusive advanced design capabilities like designing per breakpoint, the ability to add more than 4 columns, setting elements to fixed & pinned positions, and a lot more.

See Editor 2.0’s magic for yourself

We invite you to take the leap and explore Editor 2.0. It will be available in your Templates page, alongside the Classic editor you’ve used until now - you'll see the option to Switch to Editor 2.0 as shown here:

For more information on Editor 2.0 and how it can help your agency streamline your site design workflow, visit this page .

We’re excited to see what sites you’ll build with Editor 2.0. Go on to design and create great things!

Get More SEO Management Power with These Updates

Mon, 09 Sep 2024 08:37:25 GMT

We’ve recently made several improvements to our SEO in the platform. Together, these give you more control and a boost in productivity when optimizing your client sites for search engines.

eComm product images get bulk alt text action, too!

The alt text manager under your site’s SEO section will now include any store product images, too, to allow you super fast alt text tag generation and management.

And the cool part is that other than having an eComm store on your site (Duda eCommerce), you don’t have to do anything - the product images from the catalog will automatically update and show in the alt text manager once you head over there.

General SEO notifications for the site pages that matter

We’ll now show you general site SEO notifications to alert you about possible issues you should check in your indexed site pages. Clicking these notifications will take you to the SEO Overview screen where you’ll get a summary of your site’s SEO state overall, with the option to fix various immediately.

Better control over the SEO settings clients can (and can’t) edit

We added a new client permission (in addition to the SEO Configuration client permission), to help you limit clients’ access in making SEO changes. For SEO, we now have the following client permissions:

SEO Overview - This new permission gives clients view-only access to the SEO Overview screen where you get to see a snapshot of your site’s current SEO state (see the SEO Overview recap below if you need a refresher). Clients with this permission will not be able to fix or take action for any issues that the screen will show - unless they also happen to have the permission below enabled.
SEO Configuration - This existing permission gives clients full SEO settings management access, meaning clients can make any change to the site’s SEO settings including meta tags, alt text, index/no index, URL redirects, and more.

SEO Overview - your site’s SEO snapshot & action items list

Just to recap this productivity-boosting SEO audit tool integrated right into your site’s SEO settings, the SEO Overview shows you a summary of your site's optimization state and lets you fix issues right then and there to improve its ranking in search results.

From pages with missing meta tags and images without alt text to Open Graph and favicon recommendations, the SEO Overview is your very own optimization guide, showing you what else you can do to follow SEO best practices.

Leverage this valuable tool to offer additional SEO audit services to your clients, or use it to provide them with unparalleled customer service - the choice is yours.

You can now offer eComm clients the option to incorporate tax right into the product price on Duda eComm sites. This means you can configure and display product prices with taxes already included.

Why is this a big deal?

Compliance with regional regulations: This feature is a key step for expanding into European and other markets where it’s required by law to include taxes in the displayed price.
Increased customer transparency : Displaying prices with taxes included removes any surprises at checkout, providing your customers with clear and straightforward pricing.
Global sales reach : With taxes included in product pricing, you can help your eComm clients expand their business into new regions, ensuring compliance and meeting customer expectations worldwide.

Instant tax incorporation into catalog pricing at the click of a button

We’ve made it easy to enjoy this new eComm feature. Under the store management’s Taxes tab, you’ll see the new Tax settings section with an option to choose how to collect sales tax - either adding it at checkout or including it in the product price.

Once you select the latter, all products in the catalog will include the store’s default tax rate. This means the store must have at least one tax zone set up beforehand. Customers will see product prices with the included default tax rate on live product pages and at checkout.

For a detailed step-by-step guide on setting this up, visit this support guide.

You enable the option, we automatically show it to store customers

Once you enable the tax included in the product price option, we’ll automatically show a note on the live product page that tells customers the product’s prices include tax. If you want, you’re welcome to customize the design of that note, in the Product Price widget (the same design customization will be applied to both the product’s price amount and the tax-included note).

We’ve added the option to make Google Maps the default map tool on all sites in your account. This option is available on the account level using an API Key from Google. Google Maps enhances user experience and helps potential customers find and visit your clients' relevant businesses.

Get API power for a serious boost of productivity and scalability

Your agency can reap all the fruits of integrating API into your workflow. To learn more about the ways your business can scale by leveraging the Duda API library, get in touch .

How to get started

You’ll need an API Key from Google to set up the Google Maps integration - you'll need a separate API Key for each client on their own Google API account OR use one API as an agency, and Google will bill you based on combined traffic. To get an API Key from Google, click here to visit the Google Maps Platform and follow Google’s instructions to create it.

Once you have it, simply head over to your Duda account page and scroll down to the Google Maps Integration section. Enter your API Key, hit Apply and that’s it. Once integrated, Google Maps will be the default map provider for all location searches and maps in all of your sites, including the Content Library & Map widget.

Duda leverages Mapbox as the platform’s provider for geocoding and maps on your sites. We chose Mapbox as the default provider because it complies with our stringent security, data privacy requirements, and partnership standards. However, we understand that some customers still prefer to use Google Maps. This is why we made it possible for you to integrate Google Maps if it’s your map provider of choice.

You can always disable the Google Maps API integration if you want. Doing so will make Mapbox the default map tool on all your account’s sites.

We hope you find this new integration option useful for your sites. If you have any other feature or capability requests you’d like us to consider, please post them on the Duda Idea Board.

Automate Blog Post Creation with the New Blog APIs

Wed, 14 Aug 2024 14:06:16 GMT

We’ve added two Blog APIs to our library to help boost your agency’s productivity, by allowing you to automatically import and push blog content created outside of Duda into the the sites you build on the platform.

Create a blog post with the Import Blog Post API

With this API , you can generate content for a blog post using external tools like AI providers to automate your blog post creation, allowing you to offer your clients content services at a much lower cost.

Get API power for a serious boost of productivity and scalability

Your agency can reap all the fruits of integrating API into your workflow. To learn more about the ways your business can scale by leveraging the Duda API library, get in touch .

Import an entire blog from an external RSS feed

This API takes the RSS as the input, and you can choose between adding it to the site’s existing blog or overriding it altogether.

Within the blog section in the editor, you can easily import an external one into your site using the Import Posts option, but this capability only lets you Append the blog’s posts, meaning the imported blog will be added on top of the existing one. This API, however, gives you the additional option of overriding, meaning the existing blog is deleted and replaced by the imported one.

Here’s a quick demonstration made by Duda’s very own Avi Khanukaev:

We’ve released a new tool to help you build site pages faster by quickly structuring the page’s layout before finalizing its design in the editor.

An easier way to define the layout, section by section

With the new Page Builder, you can quickly define a mockup of the page by adding as many sections as you want in a snap, to see what the section combination looks like in one view.

Once you’ve added some sections to a page, it’s easy to reorder, change the layout, and delete sections. You can do it all right there within seconds.

Make the Page Builder fit your workflow or workload

Started building a new page and don’t have time to finish it? You can save it for later and pick it up again later. All the changes you’ve made until that point will be saved under the new Pages in Progress pages list.

If you and your client are happy with the page layout you’ve built, simply add it to the site and make the design tweaks you need in the editor as you normally would.

You also have the option to duplicate the page directly from within the builder or from the pages panel, allowing you to quickly create similar pages and maintain consistency across your site.

Keep consistency with the Used in Site sections category

To help you keep your site’s design consistent, we’ll show you all the sections you already added to the site, so you can easily see and re-use the same ones on different pages.

Generating entire pages is coming soon! ��

We have even bigger updates coming up, that will work along with this new Page Builder, to help you generate entire site pages quickly, so stay tuned!

Want to create pages using API?

Well, you can. Duda’s Partner API library offers a way to automate the management and addition of sections to a page. Here’s how you can make it happen .

Duda eCommerce now includes store pickup as an available shipping option. This means your eComm clients can offer their customers an easy way to order online and pick up their orders at the business’s physical location. This is a hugely popular delivery option to add to any online store.

All the reasons to add store pickup

Offering this option can significantly cut your client’s shipping costs and delivery times while increasing foot traffic to their physical stores. In addition, it gives customers more choices, thereby enhancing their shopping experience and satisfaction overall.

Which businesses is this good for?

Virtually any business selling physical goods can benefit from adding a pickup location. The obvious examples include restaurants, flower shops, retail, auto part dealers, and beauty salons, but many others are also possible.

Creating a new one is as easy as 1, 2, 3

Simply go to your store’s Shipping management section and scroll down to Store Pickup. Enter a name for this location, its address, and pickup instructions customers will see at checkout and in their order confirmation email.

Once the order is ready, customers will receive a notification to come and collect it at the designated pickup location.

Keep icon design consistent by exploring more icons from the same collection

When selecting an icon from the Icons library in the Media Manager, you can now choose to view the entire collection that the selected icon is from, to explore more icons with the same design. This will help you ensure the overall look and feel of your site is both pretty and consistent.

Build Custom Widgets using SCSS

We’ve added Sassy Cascading Style Sheets (SCSS) support, alongside CSS, to the Custom Widget Builder , so you can now use this improved coding language. SCSS gives you some customization perks like:

Declaring variables for colors and fonts
Creating and using a mix for box-shadow
Nesting styles for h1 , p , and a within the body

Drag & drop to reorder products in your catalog

You can now easily reorder the list of products in your catalog. Drag & drop to manually do this. The order you set for this list will then also be available in your store’s Product Gallery, to make things easier and more productive.

Please note that choosing to display products in the Product Gallery in their catalog order only applies when choosing the “All Products” view in the Gallery’s settings.

Showing all categories or the products of a specific category will show the default the catalog order.

New Add a Page menu

We’ve added the option to place a video on the product page as an Additional Content Block (formerly Custom Field), to help you capture store customers’ attention, and increase your eComm clients’ sales online.

A quick refresher on Additional Content Blocks

Formerly Custom Fields, Additional Content Blocks let you inject more types of content into the product page besides the product’s images or description. An Additional Content Block can be any of the following types, depending on what your client needs:

Plain text - for including anything from store policy texts like shipping or refund policies to country of origin, materials, care instructions, dimensions, etc. This is also ideal for connecting an Accordion widget to Data.

Rich text - for including text with links, or using formatting like bold, italics, etc.

Any product page can include a combination of Additional Content Blocks, so just imagine how you can increase your client’s online product appeal.

Image - for showing a logo, a promotional photo, a size chart, care instructions, and more.

Video (new!) - for enticing customers with special product views, a recorded testimonial, or any other video content. These can be uploaded video files or links from platforms like YouTube or Vimeo.

Easy to get started, easy to apply to the entire catalog

To create your first Additional Content Block, go to the Product Catalog and open a product’s settings page. Scroll down to the Additional Content Block section , and hit the Create Content Block button . We’ll guide you from there, and show you how to plug these into your product page.

Whenever you create a new Additional Content Block for a certain product, that Block will be an available option for all the other products in the catalog (but will remain invisible until you add the media or text).

For example, let’s say you added a video Content Block to a product page of a red dress, to show what it looks like ‘in real life’ on the model as she’s walking.

The video itself won’t show on any of the other products, but the option to show a video and its placement on the product page will be already set up for you in all other products in your catalog.

We hope you find this store update useful and beneficial to your eComm clients. We’re excited to see the creative ways you’ll use Additional Content Blocks on the product page to up your clients’ sales online.

Sync with Google Business Profile to Save Time & Boost the SEO

Mon, 15 Jul 2024 08:50:33 GMT

We’ve added the option to connect your site’s Business Information with a Google Business Profile for an easy sync between the two platforms. This will help ensure your client’s business details are up to date and consistent everywhere online while giving your built site a great SEO start.

Since most people search for businesses online, ensuring your client’s local business listing can be easily found on Google and Google Maps is important. This new sync option between Duda and Google helps your clients enjoy this crucial benefit.

Easy to connect, easy to manage

Setting up this new sync option is simple. Head over to your site’s Content Library > Business Info and connect your client’s Google Business Profile through their Google account.

For a faster setup, the Google Business Profile listing should pre-exist in your or your client’s Google account, with an option for your client to authenticate it (or for you to do so on your client’s behalf). In addition, you’ll have to have at least a phone number or an address set up in one of the platforms to activate the sync between the two platforms.

If you need to create a new Google Business Profile from scratch, do it here .

Once connected, you can choose to set up one of two possible sync methods:

1. Automated sync of pulled data - made from the Google Business Profile every 12 hours to ensure data integrity with any updates made to your Google Business listing—without needing to go into the editor to make changes.

2. Manual, instant syncs of data - either pulled or pushed to the Google Business Profile. This requires your active click-to-push or pull data, and gives you more control over the sync process.

What will sync between the 2 platforms:

Business name
Location or address
Phone number
Social media account links
Business web address
Business Hours

To get started, head over to the Content Library section in the editor. Then select Business Info and look for the Google Business Profile sync banner where you’ll be able to connect a Google account.

A note on feature availability

The Google Business Profile sync feature is permission dependent, meaning only team members and clients with this permission enabled will be able to use and make changes to the Google Business Profile sync option.

In addition, it’s available on selected plans, so if you don’t see it in your site’s Business Info section, it’s possible you’ll need to upgrade your account plan to get it.

We hope you find this new sync capability useful, and that it helps you deliver greater value to your clients.

We’ve recently updated the Duda API library with four capabilities that, when used in combination, can help you put your site creation workflow on auto-pilot, giving you the flexibility you need to scale and grow your business.

The new APIs are:

Create Page API Endpoint (Creating new pages on a site)
Sections API (Getting info on your custom sections)
Page Elements API (Adding sections to pages)
Navigation API (Update your site navigation via API)

How you can leverage Duda’s new APIs to scale up

Let’s look at the process at web design and marketing agency PixelPioneers to understand how this might work.

After talking to the agency’s sales team, a new client agrees to have PixelPioneers build them a new site for their law consultation business. Using their CRM, the agency's team gathers all the details about the client’s business and site preferences.

Through API, the submitted form answers provide PixelPioneers’ designers with a considerable jumpstart on creating the site, giving the team more time to invest in content, features, and design customizations that will help differentiate the agency.

Here’s how that jumpstart is made possible:

Using the Create Site API , the agency sets up a site from a template.
Using the Create Page API Endpoint, PixelPioneers adds the right pages to the client’s site.
Using the Sections API , the agency can then review the entire list of available sections (including those designed by Duda and the agency’s custom ones) to see which ones are best for law consultation services.
Next, through the Page Elements API , the agency can add the relevant sections to each site page.
Using the Navigation API , PixelPioneers can arrange the order of site pages, and even create child or nested pages in the site’s nav bar, depending on this client’s site's needs.

Such an automated process helps PixelPioneers not just save valuable time, but also streamline their workflow with a site creation process seamlessly embedded right into their systems .

Your agency can benefit from such differentiating power, too, with Duda’s API. And combining this with other automation solutions like Zapier integrations can really help to push your business’s growth even further.

Don’t miss out on serious growth power

If your agency builds sites on Duda and you’re not using our APIs yet, we highly recommend it. Why? Because it lets you integrate Duda's white-labeled resources like sites, accounts, and others into your workflows and services.

In addition, it gives you management power over all aspects of the site lifecycle, including creating a site from a template, updating content, publishing, unpublishing, even deleting a site, and more.

Just imagine the level of automation and efficiency your agency can achieve. Want to learn more about Duda API and how it can help your agency grow? Let’s talk.

Discover more AI section types using specific terms in your prompts

Explore a wider range of AI-generated sections by using specific terms like Testimonials , FAQs , Numbers , and others in your AI section prompt. These will give you interesting section options more suited to your client’s site.

The Alt Text Manager now includes icons, too

You can now view all the icons used on the site in the Alt Text Manager , and generate the alt text tag for all of them at once, in bulk. Huge time saver, huge boost in SEO.

Collections & Dynamic Pages now support nested URLs for better SEO optimization

We’re happy to update that you can now add nested URL paths to your Collections, for better SEO management and performance. This will allow you to create SILO structure URL by adding a nested path including the “/” in the collection’s page item column, e.g. company.com/jobs/finance-jobs/accountant-jobs/111

Fluid button resizing is here

Buttons now scale better when resizing, with the height staying relative to the text’s, thus always scaling proportionally. This means you can seamlessly resize the button (including both width and length) instead of using custom CSS code. It can all be done right there in the editor.

Please note this applies only to new buttons added to your sites.

Instant Site Dashboard access right from the canvas

Now, when you’re building and designing a site in the editor, you can instantly go to your Site Dashboard by clicking the Info & Tools icon on the top toolbar > Site Dashboard (Take Me There link). This will save you the time and clicks of going through your site list.

See store subscription details right in the Order screen

We’ve added a direct link to View Subscription Details in the order details screen. This gives you and/or your eComm client a faster and easier way to see the important details about customers' subscription orders, with action options like canceling the subscription, if needed.

That's it for June's Monthly Wrap Up updates. See you again next month.

Why we love this app?

SEO Opportunities will analyze 5 pages for free, and its paid plans start at $5/month.

We’ve added standardized CSS classes to different elements in the Media Slider widget, to give you virtually infinite ways to customize this widget’s design and every element it includes. If your agency likes to apply custom CSS code to widgets, this one’s for you.

These additional classes (see below) don’t just give your agency more super-granular design freedom than before, but will also ensure any CSS customizations you make to Media Sliders in your sites will be maintained as we update this widget in the future—so you can customize away with confidence.

The CSS classes we added

The list of classes below follows the popular Block Element Modifier (BEM) front-end methodology:

d-ext-mediaSlider-slidesContainer
d-ext-mediaSlider-slide__contentContainer
d-ext-mediaSlider-contentContainer__title
d-ext-mediaSlider-contentContainer__description
d-ext-mediaSlider-contentContainer__button
d-ext-mediaSlider-slidesContainer__slide
d-ext-mediaSlider-slidesContainer__slide--active

See this quick demo as an example:

How to get started?

When editing a Media Slider on a site, open Dev Mode and enter the CSS classes you want to apply and customize. And remember you can always preview your changes before making them live.

Note that Dev Mode is available with the Team plan or above.

We’re excited to see what design customizations you’ll be doing with these newly added CSS classes. Let us know if there’s anything else you’d like to see in the editor by posting on the Duda Idea Board.

Why we love this app?

SEO Opportunities will analyze 5 pages for free, and its paid plans start at $5/month.

You can now set any button on a site with a store to instantly add a certain product to the cart once it’s clicked, instead of redirecting store visitors to the product page. Oh, and the cool part? The button can be placed anywhere on the site, not just on store pages!

Here’s how to make it happen, using the button’s link picker:

You’ll be glad to know that this functionality is available in other widgets as well, like the Photo Gallery, Image, Icon, the List widget, among others.

Please note that the instant Add to Cart option isn’t currently available for products with variants.

We hope you find this update useful. If there’s any other feature or capability you’d like to see in the store, please feel free to share it with us in the Duda Idea Board.

Get a New Site Domain for Free for 1 Year

Mon, 03 Jun 2024 16:53:08 GMT

We’ve helped to streamline the way you can deliver a complete published site to clients, right within Duda. Now, when you purchase a new domain after publishing a site on Duda, you’ll get that domain for free for the first year.

New Paragraph

No coupon codes, no nothing

That’s right. Simply complete the domain purchase flow through Ionos and you’ll see $0 at checkout. There aren’t any coupon codes to remember or enter.

What sites can I get the 1-year free domain for?

You can get this for any new site you’re purchasing a custom domain or any published site for which you change the web address. In both cases, you’ll enter the domain purchase process, and receive the 1 year free domain offer.

This offer applies only for the domain’s first registration year. You or your client will be charged for the 2nd domain registration year and after that. Nonetheless, this is a great way to offer clients an additional value, and a nice incentive to choose you over other agencies.

Please note that this 1-year free promotion doesn’t apply to domains bought on GoDaddy.com.

To learn more about the free domain offer, visit this support guide.

The new Project Files section under your Site Overview offers an easy way to upload 2 main file categories you and your team can revisit whenever needed:

Client Files - this could be anything from customer interview summaries, content collection form submissions, meeting notes you’ve taken, information your client has shared with you and so much more.
Site Text - upload any textual document with site text, like the final copy you or your client have prepared ahead of time to speed up the site-building workflow and keep everything organized.

Both file upload options support any textual document like .docx, .doc, .csv, .rtf, .txt, and .pdf.

4 Top Design Updates You Asked For

Fri, 03 May 2024 02:11:48 GMT

We’re constantly working to give you more ways to customize the design of the sites you build. Today, we're happy to deliver on three more design capabilities you've asked for.

Intrigue site visitors with an on-hover image change

New Paragraph

Create a wow effect and captivate site visitors by showing them an alternate image when their cursor hovers over one of your site images. This dynamic visual option, available in the Image widget, is sure to captivate and intrigue people stopping by your site.

Turn sections & columns in Flex Mode into image sliders

We’ve added the ability to upload multiple images to sections and columns in Flex Mode, to function as a slider. This lets you transform your page sections into eye-catching content components and drive more actions from site visitors.

Magical pixel-based rounded corners

We’ve improved the corner radius settings in pretty much all design elements in the editor. Simply select an element like an image or a contact form field, choose the corner's position (or select all corners), and adjust the rounding radius based on pixels of percent. Easy-peasy.

We hope you find these numerous updates useful, and we’re excited to see what sort of sites you’ll build next!

We’re very excited to announce the brand-new S EO Overview page, where you can see your site’s SEO status at a glance, along with issues you can quickly fix to improve its ranking in search results. This isn’t available to client users yet, so you can leverage this and offer it as an add-on service to clients .

A quick view of your site’s important SEO essentials

To help you save time, keep your focus, and get your client’s site ready for publishing as fast as possible, we’ve centralized some of your site’s SEO essentials into a single view. This includes both issues that require your attention and action, and things you’ve already done. It’s like a quick SEO checklist to review before going live.

Start fixing issues in a snap

We’ve created a quick filtered view of important issues you should address first, under the Needs Attention view, broken down into categories like page meta tags, image alt text, and others, with a severity status label for each. Click that to dive right into the high-priority fixes in the respective SEO tab, like Page SEO or the Alt Text manager.

Want to optimize your site even more?

For this purpose, we’ve added the Recommended button, which lists all the optimizations you can do to improve your site’s SEO after handling the critical must-haves. There, you’ll see things like enabling Local Business Schema for your site and other recommended actions.

See issues on your Page SEO & Image Alt Text pages, too

As part of this update, we’ve added the Needs Attention view to where you manage your site pages’ meta tags and alt text as well. That way we can highlight important warnings like meta tag duplication or tags that exceed the recommended length, so you can address them there.

All of the new updates mentioned in this post are in addition to Duda’s ongoing, under-the-hood SEO capabilities built right into your site’s infrastructure. See the full list of these optimizations here .

Even more is coming soon

We’re cooking up more SEO features and management tools to help you optimize client sites the way you want to. More exciting things are coming to Duda so you can enjoy a full professional SEO suite out of the box. Stay tuned…

We’re happy to deliver on these 6 features and updates you asked for, that will help you build eComm sites better and faster than ever before. And most importantly, they’ll allow you to offer tangible value to your eComm clients.

Add an image or additional info to the product page

Want to add another photo to the product page that’s not part of the product images? Or an additional text block to list the store’s refund policy or care instructions? Meet the additional content block (formerly custom fields).

By adding and using widgets’ Connect to Data option on the product page, you can connect and show those text and image blocks added to each product.

And this works not just with store catalog data, but with any connectable data so you can use it for Dynamic pages, Business Info fields, etc., so the possibilities are virtually endless.

Have clients’ products show on Google

You can now instantly sync clients’ store catalogs with Google to have their products show in shipping results and more importantly, run ads on Google shopping.

To set it up, go to the Google Tools section under SEO & Settings in the editor, generate the .xml feed file, and upload it to your client’s Google Merchant Center account.

New Title

New Paragraph

Customize the info customers fill out at checkout

We’ve added new options for customizing the fields of personal information customers are asked to fill out at checkout:

Choose between having the customer’s first & last name appear in 1 or 2 separate fields
Choose between having the customer’s address appear in 1 or 2 separate fields
Choose to add a mandatory phone number field
Choose to add an optional text box for the customer’s entered shipping or delivery instructions

Add price clarity to variants on the product page

Now, when customers click the product options dropdown to select a variant on the product page, each variant will include the price of that option . This will increase clarity regarding pricing, resulting in an improved shopping experience overall.

UX improvements for a faster store build

To wrap up this long list of store updates, we’ve added a couple more small improvements we hope you’ll be thrilled about, the main one being:

Duplicate products at the click of a button

To speed up the process of creating and setting up the catalog.

So those were 6 top-requested updates we made available for you. We hope you find these useful as you build eComm sites for your clients. Have any other requests you'd like to make? Post them on the Duda Idea Board and we'll take a look.

Beauty & smarts: Show product info dynamically on the product page in an Accordion

Thanks to a new feature we released for the Accordion widget, you can now place it on the product page and use it to dynamically show the product info you want for any or all product pages. Just make sure you create and add an additional content block (as mentioned above) to your product pages before setting it up.

We’ve made several SEO updates you should know about, that will help you improve your site’s ranking in search results.

See & manage the index settings of all site pages in one place

The Page SEO section under your Site Overview now includes a new No Index column, with a per-page checkbox. This lets you see and manage all your site pages’ indexing settings in a single view, instead of having to go page-by-page settings in the Pages panel.

Which pages should you set to no index?

Ideally, all your site’s important pages should be set to index (meaning, asking search engines to crawl the page), except for those with low SEO value like pages with duplicated content or URLs, and pages you don’t want site visitors to access through search results. Pages you set as Drafts will be set to no index by default.

Add custom HTML metadata to dynamic pages

If you build sites using Dynamic pages, this one’s for you. We’ve added the ability to add dynamic metadata to Dynamic pages (other than meta title and description tags, which are already available today).

Use it to connect any collection field and inject data into the Dynamic pages' head section, like Open Graph properties and many others:

Have clients’ products show as rich snippets on Google

Do you manage client sites selling physical products online? Now you can instantly sync their catalog with Google to have their products show as rich snippets in Google Shopping, along with the image, price, and direct link to that product page.

Just head over to the Google Tools section under SEO & Settings , generate the .xml feed file, and upload it to your client’s Google Merchant Center account.

From that point on, any updates made to your client’s catalog on Duda will auto-sync with Google, ensuring only in-stock items are shown with the updated price and image.

New Title

New Paragraph

More tailored AI SEO Assistant suggestions

We’ve added a new field to the AI Business Profile you complete the first time you use the AI Assistant for a site, to know where your client’s business serves its customers.

How does this data point help your site’s SEO?

With this input, the Assistant can generate page meta tags and site text with a more drilled-down contextual focus, resulting in increased relevance and better-optimized site SEO overall.

Those were 4 SEO updates that will help your agency optimize clients' sites better and faster, offering your existing and potential clients a greater value overall.

The new Icons library will also house any SVG you upload, so you and your team can easily view and reuse those design assets as you build and edit your site.

To access the new icons library or to upload your own, navigate to the Media Manager through the Content Library in the editor, or use the Icons widget and click Full View .

New Title

We’re happy to announce that AI-generated sections are now out of beta and available for everyone on the Team account plan or higher (we're gradually rolling it out to Custom plans as well). This new and innovative feature lets you instantly generate beautiful sections with images and text for any site page, so you can get your site ready for launch much faster.

Generate in a snap, adjust with a click

It takes just a few seconds to generate a section. Start by adding a new one - click the +Add a Section button on an existing section’s border, and choose the AI-Generated option.

All you need to do is enter the content that’s important for the section to include, like the top services the business offers, promoting a limited-time sale, customer testimonials, etc., and that’s it.

Hit the Generate button and the section will be created before your eyes.

New Title

New Paragraph

Keep in mind that generated sections get their content context from your site’s AI Business Profile, which you're asked to fill out just once per site. If the Site's AI Business Profile isn't completed yet, you’ll need to fill it out before generating your section.

Want to tweak your suggested section? No problem

You can easily make adjustments to your generated section.

To switch a layout, choose one from the layouts panel on the left:

Adjust the sections’ content, simply hover your cursor over the section’s border and hit the Regenerate button, to get another option for the section’s images or to change both text and images:

And you can also modify your instructions by opening the minimized Assistant:

More examples of generated sections

AI-generated sections are currently available for Team and plans and above, and being gradually rolled out to Custom plans as well.

Agencies that incorporate AI deliver better results a lot faster

Incorporating AI tools into your everyday site-building workflow can bring many benefits. In this recent Duda case study with Fix8 Media, the agency’s CEO shared that Duda’s AI tools help them save time, build SEO-optimized sites for clients of all price points, and ultimately deliver superior results for their clients – faster than ever.

In case you didn’t know, Duda also offers an AI-powered site creation tool that, based on a few simple questions, creates an entire finished 1-pager site in seconds, perfectly tailored to any customer or vertical. Interested in learning more? Check out this page.

New Title

We’re happy to share that you can now add a layer of security to your Duda account by setting up 2-step verification.

2-step verification reduces the risk of account compromises and takeovers. Given that over 80% of cyber breaches result from weak or stolen passwords , having 2-step verification helps to keep your account and data safe. This means that your account login remains protected even if your email or password is leaked somehow.

Once you’ve set it up, we’ll ask you to enter a code from your authenticator app every time you log in with your email and password, to make sure it’s really you.

New Title

New Paragraph

2-step verification is available for your team, too!

Duda takes account security seriously. That’s why we’ve also made it possible for site admins to enforce 2-step verification on their team. This means that each existing team member will have to set it up for their account within 7 days (future team members will have to set it up as soon as they create their account).

To learn more about 2-step verification and how to set it up for your account, visit this support guide.

2-step verification is currently available for all paid account plans and is gradually being rolled out to Custom plans.

An additional level of account protection within minutes

We recommend setting up your 2-step verification to enjoy extra protection—it only takes a couple of minutes. To do so, go to your Account Settings and scroll down to Account security , where you’ll see the option to set up your 2-step verification using an authenticator app (we’ll guide you through it).

Rounded corners are here!

Shipping by weight now supported in Duda eCommerce

New Title

New Paragraph

We’ve added a new shipping capability to the Duda store, to allow your eComm clients to offer and calculate shipping costs based on purchased items’ weight. To give an example, they can offer a flat shipping rate for orders that fall within the 0-1 kg range, another one for orders weighing 1-2 kg, and so on.

This is especially useful for businesses selling products of varying sizes, and helps both customers and sellers get a clear idea of the exact shipping costs each order carries.

To do this, create a new shipping method in one of your shipping zones, and choose the Rate by Weight option when choosing the rate type.

Flexbox is now called Inner Column

To simplify things and help you keep your focus as you design sites in Flex Mode, we’ve changed the name of the Flexbox component to what it really is - inner column. Use inner columns (with either a horizontal or vertical stacking direction) to quickly design and control a group of elements within a column nested inside another column.

When in Flex Mode, you can add an inner column from either the Widgets panel or from the column context menu.

You can now define the corner radius of almost any element in the editor using pixels or percent . This applies to both the Classic editor and when in Flex Mode, and it gives you even more design power than before. Enjoy ��

AI Assistant improvements for increased productivity

Check out these time-saving AI Assistant updates that will speed up your site building workflow and will help you launch sites much faster:

New AI Assistant shortcuts

See all the ways in which the Assistant can help you out with your site in one place. Quickly navigate to each of these for super quick generation, whether it’s for site text, page meta tags, image alt text, or page sections (coming soon). When editing a site, click the sparkles icon on the bottom left corner to see and use these shortcuts.

Deeper business context for better output results

We’ve added a new field to the AI business profile - the geographic area the business is serving - for even more optimized SEO meta tags and site content.

New prompt ideas for text generation and custom prompts

To help you use the Assistant as best as possible, and to get the most relevant generated content for your site, we’ve added a list of ideas for you to choose from, to get you going and provide the context. You’ll find these new ideas when editing your profile, and when generating titles, paragraphs, and custom prompts.

That's it for this month's Wrap Up. We hope you find these useful. Got an idea or a feature request? Stop by our Idea Board and post it.

Instantly Generate Alt Text for ALL Site Images—at Once

Tue, 19 Mar 2024 15:44:18 GMT

You read that right. We’ve added the AI-powered capability to generate the alt text tags for all the images appearing on your site in one go, at the click of a button.

Easily see only the images with missing alt text tags

We’ve made it super easy for you to see all the images without an alt text tag in a single view, so you don’t have to go over the entire list of images and check which ones need a tag.

Generate alt text for images in other languages, too!

If your site has additional languages, it’s important to have alt text in those, too. simply switch languages using the alt text manager’s language drop-down menu on the top-right, and click to generate the tags in that language.

Another AI productivity tool for you, by Duda

Duda’s AI Assistant offers yet another way for your agency to save valuable time, effort, and money by automating the repetitive task of creating alt text for all site images. The alt text manager can be found under the SEO section in your Site Overview. Alternatively, you can reach it through the shortcut above the alt text fields in image elements.

You can choose between generating alt text only for the images missing the tag, or generating it for all site images (this will override any existing alt text tags you’ve created).

And while you’re there, generate all site page meta tags

The same SEO tab in your Site Overview also includes the Page SEO section where you can instantly generate meta title and description tags for all your site pages simultaneously.

More SEO actions will soon be available to streamline your site optimization workflow even further.

We’re excited to see how faster you’ll be able to launch sites, now that you can optimize sites for SEO and accessibility in a fraction of the time. Let us know if there’s anything else you’d like us to improve or add, here.

New Title

When it comes to site performance, Duda’s got your back— we’re the #1 site-building platform with the best Core Web Vitals scores. This comes in handy especially now, with Google’s newest Core Web Vitals metric, Interaction To Next Paint (INP) . INP measures the time it takes between a site visitor's action, like clicking a button or typing on the keyboard, and the visual feedback the site provides in response to that action.

INP is replacing the First Input Delay CWV metric as of March 12, 2024 .

As mentioned in this Search Engine Journal article from last month , we’ve seen it coming, so we already took the initiative of making sure your Duda sites will produce good scores for the INP metric, too. Today, over 75% of sites built on Duda already show a score within the “good” range for INP .

New Title

New Paragraph

How we did it

As described by Duda’s VP of Engineering Ronny Shapiro, “what we did was profile the platform to look for those long tasks and synchronous operations, and then improved them by splitting each to several tasks and deferring low priority ones, among other things. This resulted in an overall low INP score, which is what we were aiming for.”

What’s a good INP score and how to test it?

Lower INP scores mean fast response times, so you should aim for low numbers— under 200 milliseconds. To track and optimize the sites your agency has built on Duda, you can use third-party tools like WooRank , available in the Duda App Store. You can also set up custom Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager events to send these metrics into GA4.

With such solid success in site performance, you can get busy building sites for clients, knowing they’ll stay ahead of the CWV game.

Hello, gorgeous! Introducing the Duda Site of the Month

If you haven’t heard, we have the Made with Duda page , showcasing a collection of beautifully designed sites real agencies have built for real clients on Duda. It’s the perfect place to get inspired and see what your agency can achieve when building sites on the platform. This month’s favorite is Two Gloves, a site built by Helium Marketing Agency .

New Title

New Paragraph

Have a beautiful site you recently built with Duda? Submit it here and maybe it’ll be featured, too!

Customize Older & Newer post navigation links in the blog

To help you customize the blog’s appearance and functionality to that of your client’s site design and brand, we’ve added the option to edit your posts’ Older & Newer navigation links. You can now edit these links’ text, font, color, size and more.

Set up your eComm client’s notification for when a new store order comes in

Now when you fill out the Store Business Info section for your client’s business, we’ll use the entered email address to send Bcc copies of new customer orders. That way your client can instantly know when a new order has come in, and act on it quickly.

Easily import more types of products to your store catalog

Importing and exporting product catalogs via CSV just got easier. The CSV file now includes a new Type field which lets you set the product type for imported products, and to indicate the type when exporting products. Currently, supported product types are physical, service based, and donations (digital products aren’t supported yet).

Sections’ new default height will save you time designing with Flex

We’ve automated the previous manual resizing of sections’ height in different breakpoints. With a new default height applied to sections, you’ll find a ton of time saved for you and your team. The new default height for sections is:

Desktop : 240px
Tablet: 240px
Mobile: 80px for columns (when using vertical layout), and 240px for sections (when using horizontal layout).

What all this means is more productivity for your agency and design team.

Better site member management

Got a long list of site members in your membership site? Now can now search for specific members with the new search bar we’ve added. Enter their name or email and boom, that member will show up.

You can now sell subscriptions in Duda eCommerce stores to keep the money flowing and customer loyalty growing.

Subscriptions are an increasingly popular and profitable business model for two main reasons: they generate recurring revenue and bring in a steady cash flow while enhancing the business’s overall value and increasing customer loyalty.

Sell almost anything as a subscription

The new subscription feature is built into your store’s product catalog for seamless setup and management. This means you can add a subscription to most types of products, including physical, service-based, and even donations—whether these are existing or new products. The revenue possibilities are truly endless.

New Title

New Paragraph

Easy to set up, easy to manage

The option to add a subscription is available in your product catalog. Open the product’s settings page and check the Subscription option under Pricing .

This will allow you to set the subscription up, including its total number of billing cycles, price (if you want to offer it at a discount price), expiration date, and more.

At the moment, selling subscriptions is available only through the Stripe payment gateway, so make sure it's connected to your store.

Customize the subscription design on the product page

You’re welcome to design the subscription’s appearance how you or your client wants it. Go to the product page preview and click a subscription element to open its corresponding widget. Make your tweaks and republish your site.

Please note that subscriptions are available with the Advanced plan .

We’re excited to see what subscriptions you’ll help your clients sell online. If you need any help getting started, visit this guide .

More ways to customize your product page

Custom fields (available in your product settings page in the catalog) now support HTML and rich text format, allowing more customized design edits and external links on the product page (e.g. showing product specifications).

We’ve made some updates to Duda eCommerce to give you more SEO power, more customization options for your product page, and a better experience for store visitors.

Optimize category pages for better SEO

You can now edit the SEO fields of your catalog’s category pages: page title, meta description, and URL handle. These can give you a serious boost by improving your store’s visibility and click-through rate in relevant search results.

Better search results = better customer experience

Stores using the Product Search widget will now show both product prices and images in search results. This gives potential customers a better idea of your store offering, and lets them quickly find (and buy) what they’re looking for.

More store updates are coming soon, so stay tuned. In the meantime, learn how you can turn any Duda site into a transactional one that accepts payments online for virtually any service or product.

You can make translation updates just for a specific site language if you want. Simply go to your secondary language in the editor, open the page settings in the Pages panel, and choose the Update this Translation option. Translated pages will inherit the source page's content and design.

We’ve made an update to the Multilingual tool in the platform, to allow you to instantly update the translation and design of all site language pages at the click of a button, saving you the time and manual work involved.

Made some edits to the homepage in your default language, and now need to update all the other languages of your site? No problem. Open that page settings in the Pages panel (in the site's default language) and select the Redo Translations of Page option. This will automatically update your changes -whether content or design- in all your site languages for you.

In any case, we’ve got your back…

You should know that we automatically create a backup version of your site right before you retranslate your site pages. To access your site’s backup versions, go to the SEO & Settings tab in the editor’s left panel, and proceed to the Backup Site tab. Here’s more info about site backup in case you need it.

Keep in touch with site visitors and boost loyalty

duda-hp@duda.co — Wed, 03 Jan 2024 09:27:18 GMT

There are so many good reasons to communicate with site visitors. Tell them about sales and new products or update them with tips and information.

Here are some reasons to make blogging part of your regular routine.

Blogging is an easy way to engage with site visitors

Writing a blog post is easy once you get the hang of it. Posts don’t need to be long or complicated. Just write about what you know, and do your best to write well.

Show customers your personality

When you write a blog post, you can really let your personality shine through. This can be a great tool for showing your distinct personality.

Blogging is a terrific form of communication

Blogs are a great communication tool. They tend to be longer than social media posts, which gives you plenty of space for sharing insights, handy tips and more.

It’s a great way to support and boost SEO

Search engines like sites that regularly post fresh content, and a blog is a great way of doing this. With relevant metadata for every post so search engines can find your content.

Drive traffic to your site

Every time you add a new post, people who have subscribed to it will have a reason to come back to your site. If the post is a good read, they’ll share it with others, bringing even more traffic!

Blogging is free

Maintaining a blog on your site is absolutely free. You can hire bloggers if you like or assign regularly blogging tasks to everyone in your company.

A natural way to build your brand

A blog is a wonderful way to build your brand’s distinct voice. Write about issues that are related to your industry and your customers.

Tips for writing great posts that increase your site traffic

duda-hp@duda.co — Wed, 03 Jan 2024 09:27:18 GMT

Write about something you know. If you don’t know much about a specific topic that will interest your readers, invite an expert to write about it.

Speak to your audience

You know your audience better than anyone else, so keep them in mind as you write your blog posts. Write about things they care about. If you have a company Facebook page, look here to find topics to write about

Take a few moments to plan your post

Once you have a great idea for a post, write the first draft. Some people like to start with the title and then work on the paragraphs. Other people like to start with subtitles and go from there. Choose the method that works for you.

Don’t forget to add images

Be sure to include a few high-quality images in your blog. Images break up the text and make it more readable. They can also convey emotions or ideas that are hard to put into words.

Edit carefully before posting

Once you’re happy with the text, put it aside for a day or two, and then re-read it. You’ll probably find a few things you want to add, and a couple more that you want to remove. Have a friend or colleague look it over to make sure there are no mistakes. When your post is error-free, set it up in your blog and publish.

Another little SEO update you should know about - we’ve added a character counter across all SEO fields in the platform, to help you better gauge your input’s length, and make sure it follows SEO best practices.

Better UX in store search

We’ve added a small yet impactful update to the native store's search capability. Search results now include both the image and price of each product, to give store visitors a better indication of the product offering they can choose from.

Set Flex sections or columns as anchors

You now can set both sections and columns as anchor links on your site, when in Flex mode. This gives you more control and flexibility when setting your site’s navigation links, and allows you to lead users from the navigation to the exact site element you want.

This post is part of our Monthly Wrap Up series - a collection of small product and feature improvements we’ve released in the past month.

Get notified about site pages with missing meta tags

When it comes to SEO, we’ve got your back. We’ll now let you know if your site has indexed pages with missing meta tags as soon as you hit the Publish button. This will give you an early chance to add or generate per-page meta tags to increase your site’s visibility and click-through rate in search engine results.

And if you haven’t yet checked out the new bulk meta tag generation feature using AI, learn about it here .

Set pages as drafts or staged for publish at scale via API

Now you can draft or stage for publish site pages in large numbers with API. This gives you a serious boost in productivity, as it saves you valuable time versus setting these pages' status yourself, one by one.

Read the documentation to learn more.

That's it for this month. See you in next month's Wrap Up edition.

Sort posts by chronological order

You can now sort both published and created posts by descending (newest first) or ascending (oldest first) chronological order. This will help you and your client keep track of the blog’s content much more easily.

Bulk post publish and republish are here

Save valuable time and simplify your blog content management with bulk actions for posts: Select the relevant posts, then click just once to publish or republish multiple selected posts in one go. And we’ve got more bulk post actions in the pipeline, so stay tuned.

We’ve made a series of updates to the platform’s built-in blog feature, to simplify and streamline the way you manage and customize blogs for clients. From filtering posts by multiple tags to sorting by chronological order and bulk actions, this update is packed with enhancements that will help you manage blogs like a boss.

Filter posts by multiple tags for promoting more drilled-down content

If you’re using tags to create post categories for your client’s blog pages, this one’s for you. We’ve added the option to filter posts by multiple tags in the All Posts and Recent Posts blog widget.

For example, if you have a site dedicated to tourism in NYC, and have created blog posts with separate tags for NYC restaurants and NYC hotels , now you can quickly filter all posts with the combination of these two tags (or more). The marketing possibilities this filtering option can give you and your client is virtually endless.

Smarter context based post search

We’re now supporting search by post descriptions (in addition to search by post title, author and tag) in 2 important areas:

Manage Posts for better blog management and faster workflows
Search Posts widget (on your live site) through which visitors can find the content or theme they’re most interested in

These context-enhanced search results mean more efficient blog management overall for you or your client, and a boost of clients’ engagement with their audiences online.

Leverage these new updates to truly manage blogs like a boss. We're excited to see how these will help you build and manage projects for clients at scale.

Save time by copying and pasting cells or rows

This makes creating and maintaining Internal Collections a breeze. You can now copy data from external data tools like Excel or Google Spreadsheet and paste it into your Internal Collection much faster.

For the best results, we recommend ensuring the Internal Collection you’re pasting to has the same grid as the dataset you’re copying from (e.g. if you want to copy a 4*4 grid from an Excel file, your Internal Collection should have the same 4*4 grid).

Publish or republish just the Collection instead of all site pages

Made updates to a Collection and want just those changes to go live? Now you can. It’s a big time-saver, minus the commitment of republishing your entire live site.

We made several updates to Collections, to let you build dataset-based sites better and faster, and to give you more flexibility when connecting external collections to your Duda sites.

Why Collections?

If you’re new to this, Collections are datasets you can create for managing your site content, and for generating Dynamic Pages . Collections make it possible to create multiple site pages that share the same design but have different content - all based on a single dataset. It’s a fast and efficient way to set up and update multiple pages at once, and it works well with widgets you use repeatedly in your site, like Photo Gallery, List widget and others.

To give an example, we’ve used Collections to create our Made with Duda page where we showcase beautiful sites agencies have built with Duda. Whenever we want to add a new featured site to the page, all we need to do is add a row to the collection. That’s it.

And now for the updates that simplify the way you work with Collections on Duda:

Export your Internal Collection to a CSV file

That’s right. You can now download your site’s Internal Collection to a CSV file, and use it with whatever third-party app or platform you want.

More flexibility when connecting an external database

You can now add custom headers to your connected External Collections. If the data systems you work with require additional headers to fetch data, this update is for you.

Instantly act upon a Collection change with new Webhooks

We’ve added Webhooks to Internal Collections, to let you know whenever your Collection has been created, updated or deleted, and the same applies to Collection rows.

Use these Webhooks with an automation tool like Zapier to trigger whatever action you, your team or your client may want, like sending an email based on a collection change, or syncing with your business’s internal systems.

We hope you’ll find these updates helpful, and that they’ll improve your workflow as you build and manage Collection based sites for your clients.

Keeping track of which product or category you’re on

Now, when editing your native store’s catalog, the header will stick as you scroll down to further settings, as a little contextual reminder of which product or category you’re working on.

Default audio settings for videos set to autoplay

All major browsers automatically mute videos set to autoplay. To help you align with this web convention, when setting a video to autoplay in the Video widget, its audio option will automatically default to Off.

We’ve made several small improvements in various areas of the platform, to help you better understand where you are and what you’re doing as you build and customize sites with Duda.

Site subscription’s auto-renewal indication on the Site List

We’ve added a subscription indication to your sites in the Site List, that shows not only if that site’s auto-renewal is turned on, but also when its next payment is due. This will save you the time it takes to go into each site plan and look for that info.

Better URL redirect best practice example

We’ve added a guiding example in the URL Redirect list screen, to give you a better indication of the best way to formulate your redirect. You’ll now see an Example tag next to that example. Once you add your first redirect, it will replace this example in the table.

Finding a custom widget you’ve built is now easier

We’ve added the option to upload an icon to each widget you’ve built in the Widget Builder, to make it easier for you to look for a specific widget from your list, especially if it’s a long one. Speaking of building custom widgets, did you know you can also send (and sell) a complete custom widget to another Duda account? Check it out.

Redirect form submitters to a page of your choice

You can now send form submitters on your site to a page of your choice - whether internal or external - as soon as they hit the form submission button. This gives you a lot of conversion customization and tracking power, as you can leverage this redirect for applying your choice of marketing tools like email or CRM platforms.

Add a click-to-call phone icon to your site

We’ve added a new phone icon to the Social Icons widget, to allow you to add a click-to-call option right on your site. This will help your client’s business drive more inbound calls, increase conversions overall, and improve their customer experience, particularly on mobile.

To help your team build sites more intuitively and with more personalizations per client, we’ve made a series of updates to several features and widgets in the platform. Here we go.

Rename Theme Colors for a more effective design workflow

You can now rename your site's Theme Colors and assign to them clear, descriptive names your team can use to streamline your agency’s design workflow. For example, instead of plain ‘Color #3’, you can now use meaningful names like ‘Light Background’’ so every designer on your team can instantly know what that means and when to use it. This can ensure a consistently used, standardized nomenclature for your Theme Colors, whether in a certain site project or across multiple.

More time format options in the Google Calendar widget

Does your client’s audience not use the AM/PM format? Now you can use a simple toggle switch to set the Google Calendar widget’s time format to either 12 hours or 24 hours. When first adding the widget to your site, its default format will be based on the site’s language. Easily change the default in the widget’s Content tab as needed.

We hope you find these helpful for you and your team. Enjoy!

Now, when site visitors submit a contact form on your site, you and the business owner will know exactly which site it is, what form the visitor used, and which site page it’s on. These are of course in addition to receiving the form submitter’s info and email address. All this data combined serves as a powerful tool for understanding how well your site drives visitors to act.

Leverage your new insights to optimize your site and strategy

By instantly knowing which form and site page visitors used to contact your client’s business, you’ll be able to optimize your site more strategically, and finetune your site’s content, homepage, even create more drilled-down campaigns, adjust your navigation links and more.

An added bonus: enjoy better lead management

This Contact Form update also offers a more efficient and productive way to manage your clients’ online leads. If your client applies some basic rules to their business's inbox, they can easily and quickly use the updated submission notification email to assign different leads to the most appropriate member on their team, and act on these submissions much faster. Some examples include form submissions related to support, sales, inquiries, business development and more.

Get these insights in your Site Overview, too

The distinction of form titles and page names mentioned above will also appear in your Site Overview, to help you easily distinguish between multiple forms located on the same site.

Knowing which of your site pages converts better is priceless. To help you understand just that, we’ve released an update to our Contact Form widget to include the form title and page name it’s on, right in your new submission notification email, and in your Site Overview.

A few things to keep in mind

This update currently applies only to site owners, and will work properly providing you’ve left the email subject line field empty under New submission notification (as it’s set to include your form title and page name by default). Naturally, you can always customize these defaults to match your or your client’s needs.

We’ve improved the native store’s pricing management in your catalog and product page, to make it easier for you to set sale prices for products or services, and to quickly show and deploy them on your product page.

Sale price automatically updates on your product page

To help you spend more time selling and less time setting up your product pricing, the product page will automatically sync with and show your sale price (if you’ve set one up), using a new Product Price widget that'll be automatically added to, and display the pricing of your product page.

All that’s left for you to do is make sure that product is active and republish your site to make it live.

Please note that this update currently applies to site templates you’ve manually added the native store to. Soon we’ll apply this update to native store templates as well.

How to enjoy the new pricing in your existing stores

Simply go to your product page in the editor, and delete the existing pricing (text) element that’s connected to data. Next, add the Product Price widget and place it in your product page. That’s it - the widget will retrieve your product’s updated pricing from the catalog, including any sale price you’ve set for it along with the original price marked off and shown right on that product page.

Apply a sale price with a single click

We’ve added a new On sale toggle option right in the product pricing area, to instantly show a sale vs. regular price on your product page. As you’ll see, we’ve also moved and simplified the area where you manage product pricing so you can quickly view and edit it as soon as you land on your product listing in the catalog.

We’ve added an option to save filtered views of your site list, so you can instantly and easily see the sites that matter the most to you whenever you land on that screen. This opens the door to virtually endless workflow management possibilities for your agency.

How to instantly see the sites you care about the most

Sites grouped by different phases of your workflow

Save multiple filtered views of sites that are published, unpublished, and sites with unresolved comments to make this happen:

To create your first saved view, simply apply at least one filter to your site list and then hit the + Save view menu item. Name and save your view, and this will instantly add a quick access button on top of your site list.

You can add multiple saved views on your site list screen, and jump between them to quickly see the respective filtered lists. In addition, you can rename and delete your saved views, and set one as the default view whenever you land on your site list.

Endless possibilities of managing your workflow

This update can help you create saved views of different site categories that are important for your agency, and will serve as an efficient tool for quickly distinguishing between them. Here are some examples:

All sites assigned to a certain team member

This is easy to accomplish by creating a label for each team member, and then assigning that label to the relevant site. Then on your site list, simply filter by that label and save that view:

Sites of the same vertical

You can make this happen by creating labels per site depending on their vertical (like eComm, Hotel, Auto Shop, etc.), and then save the view of sites filtered by each label:

Previous ‘Remember filter’ is now a saved view

If you’ve previously selected the ‘Remember filter’ checkbox in your site list filter option, it will now automatically appear as a saved view on your site list, and named My Saved View.

To learn more about saved views and how to add these to your site list, visit this support guide.

Another site list improvement you should know about

Now you can easily keep track of your sites' subscription auto renewal dates right on your site list. We've added a visual icon indication to the Subscription column of your site list, to show whether that site subscription is set to renew or not. This is in addition to the existing tooltip that appears as you hover your cursor over the site's plan name.

See a live example of one of the Sell Online predesigned sections, here .

Skip the design, go straight to selling

With Duda, it’s now easier than ever to turn service-based or informational sites into transactional ones that accept payments from online visitors . And thanks to the newly added predesigned sections, you can make it happen a lot faster:

Add a predesigned section to any site - We’ve added a new section category called Sell Online , where you can choose a ready-to-use section out of a range of use cases like online tickets, gift vouchers, training or consultation, paid sponsorship and more.
Add an online transaction capability to your site - by adding the store add-on with just a couple of clicks, using the Sell Online option in the editor’s left panel.
Add your client’s service products in the store catalog - Use the Service product type for this. Learn how
Connect a payment gateway .
Upgrade your store plan (to Standard or Advanced) and start selling online.

Adjust the design however you wish

You can quickly and easily adjust the design of the new transactional sections however you wish - Duda’s native store sites give you full design flexibility so you can make your site and store look exactly the way you or your client want it.

Get visitors hooked with the right images

Keep in mind that predesigned Sell Online sections use the Product Gallery widget for images, which are based on the product images you’ve set up in your store catalog. If you add one of these sections to your client’s site before setting up the relevant service products, those sections' images will appear as placeholders.

Simply set up your client’s service products in the catalog with relevant images to include everything needed for enticing online visitors and increasing your client’s chances of additional online revenue.

To learn more about transactional sites, the huge revenue potential these can bring to your clients, and how to get started, visit this page .

Let the AI Assistant generate the right alt text for you

Now with this new update, you can instantly generate the right alt text for any image in your site - in its corresponding language by clicking the sparkles button right in the alt text field.

Here's an example of different images and their generated alt texts. As you can see, the AI tool picks up the image's context, features and setting:

What is alt text and why it’s important

Alternative text, aka "alt text," is a brief descriptive text indexed by search engines that conveys the contextual content of an image. This is important to include in your site’s images for several reasons, with the main 2 being:

Web accessibility - Alt text is crucial for site visitors with visual impairments who use screen readers to browse the web. When a screen reader encounters an image, it reads the alt text aloud, allowing users to understand the content and context of the image. This makes site content more accessible to a wider audience, including those with disabilities.
SEO - Alt text provides better image descriptions within the right context, which search engine crawlers pick up and index. This means an increased SERP rank potential for your site.

For more information about generating alt text with Duda’s AI Assistant, visit this support guide .

Enjoy more productivity hacks with Duda’s AI Assistant

The alt text generation capability is just one of the many AI-powered tools we’ve integrated into the Duda platform, and have even more planned for the future. To learn more about how your agency can get a serious boost of productivity with our suite of AI Assistant tools, visit this page .

You can now generate relevant alt text for your site images within seconds - with a click of a button. This will not only save you time, but could also increase your site’s organic inbound traffic and improve your site’s accessibility overall.

We’ve added a new native store widget, Sort & Filter , that can up your customer engagement and boost your store sales. Sort & Filter makes it easy for store customers to sort through your product catalog and quickly find (and buy) the exact product they’re looking for.

Adding Sort & Filter to an existing store or an eComm template

If you have an existing store site or plan to use a native store template for your next eComm client, adding the Sort & Filter widget is easy. Simply hit Sell Online on the editor’s left panel, select the Store Widgets menu option, and then drag & drop the Sort & Filter widget to your page. Again, just make sure your site page includes a Product Gallery ahead of time.

Available Sort & Filter options

This widget comes with the free option to sort products by name (A to Z or Z to A). To get more advanced options like the ones listed below, you’ll need to upgrade your site plan to Advanced .

To get started, just add a new store

When you add a native store to your site, the Sort & Filter widget will be automatically added as well, to give you a head start. Just keep in mind that this widget only works on store pages that have the Product Gallery widget.

Here are the Sort & Filter premium options:

Filtering by category
Filtering by price
Sorting by name
Sorting by price
Sorting by newest first

Another thing to keep in mind is that currently, the Sort & Filter widget only applies to the product level, not the category level.

Make the sorting & filtering experience your own

Once on your store page, you can customize the appearance and content of your Sort & Filter widget however you wish. From renaming the button itself to changing the Sort & Filter panel colors, you can achieve the exact design you or your client wants with ease.

For more information about the Sort & Filter widget, visit this support guide .

And this is what it looks like on the receiving end:

Store Pricing and Sale Management Just Got Easier

We’ve added the ability to send complete, ready-to-go custom widgets to other Duda accounts, right from the Widget Builder and without the need to rebuild them in the other accounts.

This allows you to create an additional revenue stream for your business by selling your custom widgets to others (Duda does not facilitate payment for custom widgets, you must set it up outside of the platform). Those receiving the widget will have it available in their editor’s Widgets panel for all sites in their account.

As a reminder, Duda’s Widget Builder lets you build custom widgets to enhance and fit your client site’s specific needs. To create a custom widget, you’ll need to write the code yourself or use the services of a Duda Expert that can do it for you.

How sending a custom widget to another Duda account works

The option to send a published custom widget is available in your Widget Builder’s dashboard. Once you’ve selected that option, all that’s needed is to copy a link and share it with the other account. The recipient pastes that into their browser and accepts the new widget. Simple.

Please not e that once you generate the link for sending your custom widget, it will be available for a one-time use, and will expire after 24 hours.

For step-by-step instructions and guidelines on sending custom widgets to other accounts, visit this support guide .

And here's how to use the Assistant to edit an existing category description in your native store:

This post is part of our Monthly Wrap Up series - a collection of small product and feature improvements we’ve released in the past month.

Optimize Store Product & Category Descriptions with the AI Content Assistant

Instantly improve your native store’s product and category page descriptions with Duda’s AI Content Assistant. Look for the sparkles icon on top of your product or category description text box to apply quick edits to your text, like making it shorter, longer, improving the text, or even translating it to another language.

Here's how to use the AI Content Assistant's quick edit options to an existing product descritpion:

Flex Sections Now More Optimized for Mobile

We’ve improved how Flex sections adjust the columns they contain per screen size, to offer a faster way to optimize your design for smaller screens. Simply use one of the new tablet or mobile layout presets when editing a Flex section, and that’s all there is to it.

To give an example, you can set to show 4 columns on desktop, 2 columns on tablet, and 1 column on mobile. And in case there’s an uneven number of columns or columns that are hidden, the last one will automatically expand on smaller screens to take up 100% of the available screen space.

Better Sizing Controls in Flex Mode

We’ve added a new and improved size component to help you better control the responsive sizing of elements. You can use relative sizing units that adjust elements’ sizing based on the screen size, or use absolute units like pixels to keep a fixed sizing setting.

Easier Site Members Login on Mobile

We’ve added a new button layout to Duda’s login bar widget, that makes site members’ login on mobile a whole lot better. This improvement optimizes members’ interaction with your site, as the new button layout works better with small screens where headers can be crowded with other widgets like search or cart.

Get Notified Whenever a New Store Order is Confirmed

We’ve added an automated notification email that instantly notifies you whenever a new order is placed in your native store. Sent as a copy of the customer’s order confirmation email, this notification can be a serious efficiency boost since it can trigger your choice of order fulfillment processes, like packing, shipping and delivery preparations, to name a few. The right timing can make all the difference.

That's it for this month. See you in next month's Wrap Up edition.

Introduce clients to a revenue stream they didn’t know existed

Many SMBs assume that selling online is only for retailers, but that’s no longer the case. With Duda’s new product types, you can leverage the platform’s native eCommerce capability to help your clients accept online payments for anything they currently sell or get paid for offline.

Some examples include:

Spas selling gift vouchers and treatment sessions online
Professionals selling their classes and courses
Service providers selling their carpet cleaning, fitness training or other service online
NGO and faith based sites accepting online donations
Organizations selling event tickets or paid sponsorships
Other professionals and content creators selling content and files online

And the list goes on - the possibilities are endless. Your clients only stand to gain more money and growth by jumping on the transactional site wagon. Now, with product types, you can easily make it happen for them, and up your site building pricing accordingly.

Store Pricing and Sale Management Just Got Easier

Help clients sell anything online , from services to event tickets, gift vouchers and more - now available for 50% off and valid through Nov 30, 2023.

We’ve added the option to sell virtually anything on any Duda site, using new product types your client can choose from, right in the Duda store. From selling services to event tickets, gift vouchers, digital files, and accepting donations, you can now help clients monetize their expertise. Turn their static or brochure-style Duda sites into transactional ones that accept online payments from visitors, regardless of clients' industry or offered service.

Want some examples of real Duda sites using product types?

Check out the site by AMES Entertainment that sells event tickets, and Mike Henry's site selling the painter's watercolor art.

From static to transactional sites in less than 10 minutes

Whether you’d like to add the transactional capability to a new or an existing client site, it’s easy to do with Duda’s new product types in the store. Here’s how:

Click the Sell Online option on the editor’s left panel.
Hit the Start for Free button. This will add the demo store to your site so you can see what selling something online looks like.*
In the store’s management panel, choose Manage products .
Next, click the Add a Product button on the top-right and you’ll see a list of the available product types (Physical, Digital, Service and Donation). Pick the one that best fits your client’s business and set it up.
Connect a payment gateway to allow accepting online payments for whatever your client is selling.

*The demo store is a good way to get a preview of the transactional capabilities on a site. You can use it to give clients a taste of what their site can become, and the revenue potential they stand to gain.

Watch this video to see where to find and set up the various product types:

To allow real purchases and to start accepting actual payments online, your client’s site will need to upgrade to a paid site plan with a store. And from now until Nov 30, 2023, paid annual store plans are 50% off! Use coupon codes STANDARD50 or ADVANCED50 , depending on the eComm plan you choose.

New Paragraph

You can now easily issue refunds for entire orders or individual items within an order, in the native store.

Conveniently located in your store’s order management page, you can now refund customers right from the native store, instead of manually taking care of it with an external service.

This update allows you to issue refunds in several ways:

Refund the entire order
Refund the amount of a specific item
Include the shipping in your refund
Add the reason for the refund

The new order refund option currently supports Stripe (including all its integrated payment methods) and PayPal, with more payment gateway support coming soon. Just to be clear, issuing a refund in the native store will automatically process a refund in your payment gateway.

To issue a refund, go to your store’s dashboard and select the Manage orders tab. Choose the order you wish to refund from the list, and click to see its details. There you’ll see a Refund order button on the top-right. Follow the page’s instructions and you’re good to go.

Keep in mi nd that once you issue a refund, this action is irreversible. So we recommend double-checking that you’re indeed refunding the right order before confirming.

Introducing Digital Products in the Duda Store

Tue, 05 Sep 2023 12:51:58 GMT

The Duda store now allows you to offer clients a transactional site that sells digital products online, like downloadable files, digital art prints, legal documents, music, e-books and more.

Selling digital products is a great opportunity for you to offer clients a more robust site with a higher price tag , as it lets them turn their informational site into a revenue stream they didn’t necessarily think existed. eCommerce no longer equates with just retail.

And the best part? You don’t need to learn or use anything new in the platform to help your clients sell digital products. It’s all built right into the store’s existing capability you’re familiar with.

Start selling digital products in 3 easy steps

Here’s how to get started:

1 - Add a new product

Simply hit the Add a New Product button in your store’s catalog page as you would with any other product. You’ll see a menu with different product types (including physical, digital, service, donation and more). Select Digital product .

2 - Upload the files and add related info

Upload the files you’d like your digital product to include. This can be one or multiple files per product. Next, add the relevant product description, upload enticing images, and set the price.

3 - Activate the product and start selling

Once your digital product includes all of the above, set the product’s status to Active and save. That’s it - your digital product is now visible and ready for sale online.

Digital products are available with the Advanced Store site plan. You can try it out before upgrading using the free Demo store (included in the site when first adding a store).

Here’s a quick video that shows how to set up a digital product:

This post is part of our Monthly Wrap Up series - a collection of small product and feature improvements we’ve released in the past month.

Improve your Business Text with AI

We’ve added quick edit options (make text longer, shorter, fix grammar and spelling, etc.) to the AI Content Assistant in the Business Text section (in the site's Content Library).

These quick edits can be applied to existing textual content you’ve added, and will help to save your team valuable time.

If you're new to Duda's AI Content Assistant, learn how it can speed up your site content creation here .

Cut Design Time with Bulk Image Replacement in Flex Sections

It’s now possible to connect the background image of a Flex section to your site’s Content Library. This will push your team’s productivity to the next level, as it allows instant image replacement of Flex section images wherever they appear in your site - with a single click. This means you can cut your design-to-publish time even more.

How to do it? First, make sure you’ve uploaded the updated image to the Business Images section under the Content Library’s Connected Data. Then, when editing the Flex section in Flex Mode, right-click and select the Connected data option.

Customize the Format of Numerical Values in Collections

Duda Collections now support numerical value formatting, giving you more freedom and control over how data shows in your site’s Dynamic pages. You can customize numbers and decimal notation for various cases, and add special characters such as currency symbols, among others.

That's it for this month. See you in next month's Monthly Wrap Up post.

New Title

New Paragraph

We’ve released a new automated tax feature for Duda’s native eCommerce, that lets you reduce cost, gain efficiency and minimize compliance risk when selling online. It’s a comprehensive solution integrated right into the Duda platform for easy, worry-free tax setup and management.

Powered by globally acclaimed tax compliance provider Avalara, the new automated taxes feature makes it easy to set up and manage auto-calculated tax rates in real-time for store purchases. In its first phase, this will be available for businesses and customers located in the US and Canada, with more supported locations coming soon.

Automated taxes are available with the Advanced Store site plan.

Save time and money. Gain accuracy and peace of mind

Let’s face it. Setting up sales taxes with full compliance can be a virtually impossible task if done manually, not to mention a costly operational overhead. There’s plenty of room for error, and you easily run the risk of charging too much or too little.

In addition, it can be challenging to navigate through the most updated tax rates or the different tax regulations in each US state or Canadian region. Duda’s new automated taxes capability takes care of that for you - it will auto-calculate and show the right tax rate at checkout, thus ensuring your clients’ sales taxation is fully compliant.

More importantly, automated taxes let your clients’ business scale rapidly and allow them to focus on what matters most - their business. And let’s not forget: you can up your revenue by offering eCommerce clients a robust feature they need with tangible value .

Integrate once, get live rates for every order

When starting out, we’ll ask you to create an Avalara account for your client if they don’t yet have one - it’s free to sign up (we’ll guide you through the process right within the platform). Once connected and enabled in your store’s US and Canada tax zones, automated taxes will take it from there. No need to set up anything else. Store customers will automatically see the accurate tax rate for their order at checkout.

Enjoy these core capabilities with automated taxes:

Get live tax rates per order for every US or Canada customer at checkout (more supported countries coming soon)
View your transaction history
See per-transaction reporting in your Avalara account*

*Once creating an Avalara account, store orders will automatically show in your client’s Avalara dashboard. It’s up to them to decide if they want store order data to show in (or sync with) Avalara.

How to get started with automated taxes

First, make sure your native store has the Advanced plan (or upgrade if you have the Standard plan). Next, click the eCommerce tab from the left panel in the editor and select Set up taxes . Look for and hit the Get started button. From there, we’ll guide you through the Avalara signup process (or login if your client already has an account). That’s it!

We've added several new apps to the Duda App Store , to help you take your clients' sites to the next level. Check them out.

OFFER CLIENTS AN AIRTIGHT PRIVACY AND DATA COMPLIANCE SOLUTION WITH TERMLY

Termly’s suite of privacy solutions keeps your client sites compliant with data privacy regulations around the world with its state-of-the-art site scanner, consent banner, and policy builder. With a one-time setup and automatic updates from our legal team to you, give yourself and your client a peace of mind.

Why we love this app?

Termly’s legal experts constantly stay up to date with the latest news across the privacy landscape to understand what changes are coming down the pipeline so you don’t have to. This helps to ensure your client sites are always compliant. In addition, Termly’s Consent Management Platform includes 3 key features that work together to keep sites compliant:

Site scanner - It crawls the site to identify any first or third-party cookies/trackers being set. It stores them in the app to be used by your site’s consent banner and cookie policy so your site visitors understand what trackers are being used.
Consent banner - This is how your site visitors express their consent to opt-in or out of your site trackers. This is required under global data privacy regulations such as GDPR (Europe), CCPA (California), PIPEDA (Canada), and more.
Cookie policy - This informs site visitors of your right to utilize cookies/trackers as well as the data management standards being complied with. The cookie policy is generated when you first complete a scan and updated on every scan thereafter keeping it constantly up to date.

In addition to these, Termly offers a no-brainer policy builder you can use to generate a wide range of policies from Privacy, Terms of Use, to End User License Agreements (EULA), and Return. Each one is hand-crafted by Termly’s legal team to ensure maximum compliance across global data privacy laws.

To install the Termly app on your site, visit the app’s page on the Duda App Store. To learn more about how Termly is integrated in the Duda platform, visit this support article.

New Paragraph

Having access to customer data and information gives businesses a lot of sales and marketing power. And when it comes to selling online, such data is absolutely crucial.

The new Site Contacts capability lets your clients unlock this very data, so they can better understand what their customers are doing, what they’ve purchased, who are the loyal ones that keep coming back, and an overall understanding of customers’ satisfaction with the store or site.

A mini-CRM for your clients right within the Site Overview

The goal of Site Contacts is to help your clients build the right relationships with and nurture retention of identifiable site visitors or customers from the very beginning. Think of it like a mini-CRM for your clients, giving them the power to know and act immediately upon customers’ interactions with their store.

Currently, you can see a list of identifiable visitors who placed a purchase on the site. Soon we’ll add more actions like visitors who logged in, submitted a form and more, to help your client build a long-lasting relationship with customers right from the get-go.

To access your Site Contacts, go to your Site List page, and choose the Site Overview option in the site’s actions menu. Once the Site Overview opens, you’ll see the Contacts tab on the left bar.

We’ve released Site Contacts , a new feature now available in your Site Overview, where you can see a list of all the identifiable visitors who had a store interaction with your site.

New Paragraph

We’ve added a brand new AI SEO Assistant to help you instantly generate page meta titles and descriptions for your site.

We’ve also expanded the capabilities of the AI Content Assistant in the Text widget, added language support, and included client and staff permission options. All of these are designed to help your agency build high-performing sites and get more done in a fraction of the time.

Instantly generate relevant meta tags for your site pages

Instead of spending the time required for researching and creating the meta tags for each site page, now you can leverage our brand new AI SEO Assistant to instantly generate relevant meta tags.

To use the AI SEO Assistant, go to one of your pages’ SEO settings and generate both title and description tags by clicking the purple Generate SEO tags button. Alternatively, you can generate one tag at a time by clicking the sparkles icon on each of your page’s SEO fields.

How the AI SEO Assistant generates your page tags

To create each page’s meta title and description tags, the AI SEO Assistant relies on the content of your page, in combination with the business profile details you provide when first using it. This helps to ensure each page gets the most accurate (and unique) tag.

Once you’re happy with the meta tags the AI SEO Assistant has generated for you, simply apply the suggestions and then publish (or republish) your site to make the new tags live and visible by search engines.

After applying your page tags, you can review and make any edits you find necessary, so you’re always in control.

Please note that the AI SEO Assistant is currently available in the Agency plan and higher.

Manage your team and client AI Content Assistant permissions

If you’d like to control who has access to the AI Content Assistant (whether a team member or a client*), you can control the permissions accordingly, with the new permission now available in your Team and Client permissions area.

* Client permissions are available with the Custom plan.

Change the tone of voice and translate text in a snap

We’ve added 2 new new quick edit actions to the AI Content Assistant’s actions menu:

Change tone - Switch up the tone to better fit the way your client’s brand addresses their audiences. From informative to witty, conversational and professional, you’ve got lots of options to choose from.
Translate text - Got a multilingual site? Instantly translate site texts into different languages, using the AI Content Assistant’s machine based translation.

Making the AI Content Assistant’s suggestions more tailored to your client’s business

To make sure the AI Content Assistant generates more accurate and relevant content to fit your client’s business, we’ve made several improvements to the Business Profile - where you provide essential details about the business behind the site you’re building:

The business name field now pulls the input from your site’s Business Info in the Content Library by default. Just keep in mind that editing the Business Name manually will override this default setting.
New tone of voice field - where you can choose the tone of voice that best represents your client’s brand.
New business description field - this lets you add a more drilled down overview of the business that the AI Assistant can then use to generate relevant content. This includes details like offered services, products, company location, target audience, and more.

Choose a default state for your site’s signup/login

You now have the option to choose whether first time members landing on your site will see a signup screen or a login one. This can be easily set in the Login widget’s panel, in addition to other content and design customizations.

Offer translated signup pages

Duda’s Login widget is now fully localized and supports non-English languages. The widget will automatically take on your site’s default language. So if your membership site is in French, the login/signup page will be in French, too.

Automate Your Store’s Order Management with Zapier Integrations

If you’ve built a store using our native eCommerce solution (or plan to build one soon), you’ll be happy to know that you can now use Zapier to automate the push of new store orders data to other apps and tools such as Google sheets, HubSpot, Salesforce and more. This can help to expand your stores’ operational, sales, and customer communication capabilities, and speed up the entire workflow.

Here are some examples of what automations new store orders can trigger:

Marketing campaigns
Lead nurturing
Sales pipeline management
Customer emails/push notifications
Team notifications

And the list goes on...

Zapier integrations are available in the Team account plan and higher. To see the Zap templates relevant to the native store, open the eCommerce tab in the editor > Manage orders > See Zap templates .

This post is part of our Monthly Wrap Up series - a collection of small product and feature improvements we’ve released in the past month.

More Management Power for Membership Sites

We’ve made several updates to the Membership feature in the Duda platform. These will help you better manage and reach potential member audiences:

Filter members based on their status

Now you can filter your site members list based on their status - filter by Active, Pending, and even Unauthorized.

Change to the Airtable + Duda API Integration

Airtable is transitioning from API keys to using Personal Access Tokens for integrations. This change will affect how you connect your Duda site with Airtable data collections.

We’re happy to share that Duda already fully supports Airtable’s Personal Access Tokens.

Here’s the timeline for the Airtable API change:

Starting August 1, 2023, you'll need to use a Personal Access Token when creating a new Airtable collection within Duda.
Starting February 1, 2024, API keys will no longer be accepted by Airtable. This means any existing Airtable collections using API keys will experience disruptions if they aren't updated.

To ensure your Airtable collections in Duda perform as they should without interruptions, it's crucial to update your existing integrations with Personal Access Tokens as soon as you can.

How to update your existing integration with Airtable:

Log into your Duda account and navigate to the Content section of your site in the editor.
Choose Collections and find the Airtable collection you want to update.
Click Collection Settings .
Replace the current API Key with your new Personal Access Token (with the correct data.records:read scope and base access) in the API Key field.
Finish the update by clicking Refresh Data and then Done .

That's it for this month. See you in next month's Monthly Wrap Up.

You can now add signup & login capability to your native stores. This gives your store merchant clients a better way to track visitors and customers, improve personalized marketing efforts, and allows them to learn more about their customers’ behavior through collected data.

On the store customer’s side, this update delivers an intuitive order and account management, a fast checkout process, and robust account security - all important factors that directly affect online customers’ shopping experience.

Already have a native store you’ve built for a client? Then the store signup & login capability is automatically included, and the user will first encounter it during checkout (as an invitation to sign in or register). All you have to do is review its design and content settings to adjust it to your client’s needs.

Effortless order management

Help store customers stay on top of their orders with the brand-new account dashboard. From real-time order tracking to easy access to order history, managing orders has never been simpler.

Lightning-fast checkout

One of the things that can deter a potential store customer from purchasing is a lengthy checkout process. With this new signup & login capability, customers can now save shipping and billing addresses in their account, manage their preferred payment methods, and check out a lot faster for the ultimate shopping convenience. Offer store customers a shopping experience that’s as intuitive and seamless as possible.

Robust account security

This post is part of our Monthly Wrap Up series - a collection of small product and feature improvements we’ve released in the past month.

See All Your Site Theme Settings in a Single Glance

Now when you open your site’s Theme panel, you’ll see all its major components and their settings in one place. This gives you an instant indication of what your Theme Colors are, which font and size settings your Theme Text has, what style your primary and secondary button have and more - all in a single view. And if you want to dive into any of your Site Theme's components, they’re just a click away from this panel.

This update lets you and your team work faster and more efficiently. For example, if you want to make sure your site’s H1s' size is bigger than your H3s' or that all headings have the same font family, all you need is a quick glance at your Theme’s main panel instead of navigating to each separate heading style in your Theme Text to check it.

Export Your Client List to a CSV File

That’s right - if you’re using Client Management you can now export your list of clients to a CSV file and use it for whatever you need. Simply head over to your Client List, click the 3-dot options menu, and select Export to CSV . It will automatically download to your computer.

Create a More Powerful Impression with the Redesigned Site Preview

We’ve improved the design of site previews when you share these with clients and others. We’ve revamped the overall look and feel of the screens as well as the 3 device frames. This will give your clients a better and more professional experience when looking at their site preview.

New Font Weight Options for Texts

Enjoy more design freedom when selecting fonts for your sites - now you can choose font weights to make your site’s content exactly the way you or your client wants it to be. Font weights like regular, medium and bold can give site content that additional accent you need, whether it’s a strong highlight or a more nuanced one.

New Default Icon Size in the Icon Widget for Better and Faster Design

We’ve changed the icon’s default size from 200px to 60px, to help you design even faster and better.

So what’s changed? When using the Icon widget, the previous default icon size was too big, especially when placed in the header. The new 60px default means you’ll spend less time editing and adjusting per screen size, particularly when the Icon widget is used multiple times in the same site.

Show More Posts in Your Blog List

We’ve increased the number of posts that appear in your visible list of posts in the blog from 10 to up to 50. This gives you more flexibility in deciding how to present your blog’s content.

Improved Cookie Tracking Management

Now when you want to enable or disable cookie tracking on your site (located under SEO & Settings > Privacy Settings ), its toggle switch behavior aligns with your choice of action: to enable cookie tracking, simply turn it on. To disable cookies on your site, turn it off.

Improved Member Management in Membership: Create Zaps Based on Member Events

You can now create Zapier integrations with webhooks based on the events of newly created, updated or deleted members. This update makes it easy to send custom emails to new members, update a CRM system when a member is updated or deleted, or set up any other workflow. Visit the Duda + Zapier integrations page for more info.

That's it for this month. See you in next month's Monthly Wrap Up post.

New Paragraph

We’re happy to announce there are now (many) more payment methods you can add to your native stores’ checkout, using your existing Stripe gateway.

Adding more payment methods expands merchants’ global reach, but also delivers an excellent user experience to store visitors. When ready to pay online, seeing a familiar, trusted payment method will create a positive reaction among store visitors while merchants will see higher conversions on the store overall.

New payment methods now available through Stripe

Stripe now includes numerous types of payment options you can choose from, including:

e-Wallets - from Apple Pay and Google Pay to Cash App Pay, MobilePay, AliPay and WeChat Pay, to name a few
Buy now, pay later payments - like Affirm, Afterpay, Clearpay and Klarna
Bank transfers - including ACH Bank Transfer for US and Canada, and SEPA bank for European customers
Real-time payments - like PayNow and PromptPay for Asian businesses

You can see the full list of available payment methods here .

Once you or your client turn on one or more payment methods over at Stripe, you'll see those new methods in your store's Payment providers tab, and they'll be active and available for the relevant checkouts.

Some questions you might have - and their answers

Will this require any actions from the merchants?

Once merchants turn on the new available payment method(s) in their Stripe account, these will automatically update in our platform (assuming their Stripe account is properly connected and active), and will show at checkout. No additional actions are required on their part. Also, merchants won’t need to reconnect their Stripe account or create a new one to make this happen.

What if merchants prefer not to add more payment methods via Stripe?

Ideally, all merchants stand to benefit from using this new payment method integration, but if they prefer to keep their current checkout experience, they can.

Can merchants still add PayPal on top of Stripe to accept payments via PayPal?

Yes, this option will remain available as it is today.

What are the restrictions for Klarna and Afterpay?

To make Klarna and Afterpay available at checkout for store buyers, you'll need to make sure that:

These payment methods are turned on in the merchant's Stripe dashboard
The merchant Stripe account’s country matches the customer’s country (e.g., Canada with Canada, US with US, EU with EU).
The currency matches the country (e.g., CAD in Canada, USD in US, Euro in EU).
The purchase is a one-time payment (not a subscription or membership plan).

For more information on Klarna and Afterpay, see Stripe’s documentation on the subject.

Go ahead and start integrating more payment methods into your native stores to help your clients offer a personalized and more engaging shopping experience to their customers.

Meet our newest template, designed specifically for community based organizations, groups and agencies. This multi-page template is ideal for faith based organizations, but can work just as well with any others that have similar site and content requirements.

To use the Church Community template for your next site project, go to the Templates page .

Whether your client represents a church, a mosque or a non-profit organization, this template includes everything you could possibly need to show everything that organization is doing. In addition to static pages with content, the Church Community template includes pages for video and podcast streams that you can set up for your client. This gives their organization the power to keep their community close, engaged and united - wherever their members are.

Here are additional features unique to this template you should know about:

Use Dynamic Pages for content like programs, podcasts and music

If your client’s organization uses multiple channels to communicate with its community, and needs multiple pages with the same basic layout (but different content), you can turn the template’s Groups, Podcast and Music pages into Dynamic Pages .

A trendy color palette to keep your site modern and stunning

We’ve used a beautiful collection of colors for this template, and it's already set up as the template’s Theme Colors, meaning it’s super easy to make color changes if you need to, and they’ll instantly update everywhere across your site in widgets and elements connected to these colors.

Menu, pages and sections to showcase all the organization has to offer

The template includes an expandable menu layout that looks great on all screens. In addition, its pages are designed for promoting upcoming events, and include a section for inviting community members to download the organization’s app, if it has one.

Easy and intuitive donation based payment capability

Simply set up a payment gateway for the site using Stripe, and offer site visitors an easy way to make a donation to the organization. In addition, there’s an option for your client to use a page for presenting an annual report for a church or another organization.

In addition to all of these capabilities, the Church Community template includes standard pages like about us, a blog for articles and posts, a dedicated page for children and youth programs, a visit us page, FAQ sections and a lot more.

To use the Church Community template for your next site project, go to the Templates page .

Check out the recent updates we’ve made to Duda’s API that can help your agency integrate our website building tools into third-party software. API integrations can help you automate parts of your workflow, and make your team work faster and more efficient.

Use this documentation for creating an account via API, and this for updating an account.

Use this documentation for creating sites from a template via API, and this one for updating the site via API.

If you're new to API integrations and wondering how it can leverage your site building business, visit this page .

Add the company name when creating or updating client accounts via API

If your agency relies on the Create Account API for creating and managing clients, now you can use the new Company name field to better manage relevant clients. This will save you valuable time and cut out any manual work that was previously involved in adding new clients’ company names.

Know when a site is live and available at its domain - for real

This update gives you a proactive solution for knowing when a site you’ve published is live and available at its domain, and is pointing to Duda after receiving its SSL certificate. To automate the update, you can set up an email or a dashboard notification to know exactly when the site is available at its domain for everyone, everywhere.

Use this documentation for SSL certificates.

New label tags in your Site List

This update automatically assigns a label to a site on your Site List as soon as the site is created, updated or deleted through API. This can be useful for when you need to filter out a certain type of site. For example, when you want to locate all sites with a premium plan, all landing pages, or any others with the label you’ve set for these.

New Store Type tells you which store your site includes

If a site includes a store, now it will show whether it’s the native or the third-party store. If you’re a Saas company offering eCommerce sites or an agency using API to create a store, this new Store Type field can save you a lot of valuable time, and will prevent any manual searching and finding.

New Paragraph

Meet the new page option in the Pages panel: Set as a draft . We’ve added this feature to give you absolute freedom in controlling your site pages’ visibility - both in terms of content and search engines’ indexing. Once a page is set as a draft, it won’t show anywhere even when you publish or republish the entire site.

Draft pages won’t be included in your site's default sitemap, so they won’t be indexed or crawled by any search engine. Anyone with the draft’s page link will be redirected to a 404 error page.

To learn more about draft pages, visit this support guide .

Why set a page as a draft?

Using drafts can help your agency’s site building workflow in a number of ways. Here are the most common use cases:

Designing a work-in-progress page - meaning you’re still working on a new page for the site and it isn’t ready to go live yet.
Hiding a page with restricted or outdated content - for example, a page containing information that you don’t want site visitors (or Google) to see.
Any other reason you might have - this might include using drafts as initial design concepts for a site page, content backup, or any other use case.

You’ll still be able to choose the draft page when doing other actions in the platform as you build the site. For example, you’ll see it as an option when using the Link Picker or when setting up members-only content for your site. We’ll show a small draft indication icon to remind you that page isn’t live yet.

How to publish a draft page

Worked on a new page for the site and now it’s ready to go live? Hit that page’s settings menu in the Pages panel, and select Stage draft for publish . It will go live the next time you republish your entire site.

We’ve added a new capability to the Contact Form widget: setting up an automated reply email to people who submitted a form on the site. This new email can also include a copy of submitters’ form message.

Creating and customizing an automated reply to submitted forms is your chance to help clients create more engaging relationships with their customers from the very beginning.

Help to jumpstart your clients’ brand + customers relationship

When you add a new Contact Form widget to a site, it will now include a preselected option to add an auto-reply email to form submitters - including fallback email message text you can obviously change and customize to your client’s needs.

How to customize the auto-reply’s default email message

To edit the default email message, go to the widget’s Content panel. Open the Submissions tab and select Actions after submission . Scroll down to Email settings , and look for the preselected Auto-reply to form submitter toggle. Below it you’ll find editable email text sections you can personalize however you wish: Sender’s name (the email’s “from” field), Email subject line, and the message itself.

This is also where you can control whether or not the form submitter will get a copy of their submitted form data in the automated reply email. This will be preselected by default, too.

How this will affect existing Contact Form widgets in your sites

Any existing Contact Form widgets you have on your clients’ sites will now include the toggle option to send an automated reply to form submitters, but it will be turned off by default. To enable it on existing sites, open the widget’s Content panel as mentioned above and turn it on manually.

New Paragraph

We’re happy to announce a series of improvements we’ve made to Dynamic Pages and Duda’s Internal Collections, including linking to a dynamic page, reordering Collection columns, duplicating a Collection, setting rows’ visibility and more.

A quick Collections & Dynamic Pages refresher

Collections are the key ingredient required for building a site that contains multiple pages with the same structure and design, but different content on each page, like:

Real estate listings
Team pages
Recipe pages
Catalog items

Collections are datasets that you can create, save and manage in the Content Library, and use them to generate Dynamic Pages . This is a powerful productivity booster because it allows you to generate multiple pages from a Collection, thereby dramatically speeding up the process of creating and updating multiple pages at once . Collections can be internal or external (External Collections are available with the Custom plan, and connected through an API).

How it all comes together

To give an example, let’s imagine you’re building a cooking site for a client that lists lots of recipes. All recipe pages have the same page layout, the same structure - everything’s the same. The only difference is the actual recipe on each page. So each row in that site’s connected Collection represents a unique recipe that gets its own Dynamic page. And whenever you update your internal Collection, it automatically updates the relevant Dynamic page associated with that Collection’s row.

So what’s new in Collections and Dynamic Pages? Here are the updates:

Add a link to a Dynamic Page

We’ve added the option to set a link to a specific Dynamic or store page in the native store (product or category). So now when you use the link picker, you’ll see a newly added option, Dynamic or Store page , depending on what your site includes. Simply choose your Collection as well as the relevant item and you’re good to go. You can use this option anywhere in the platform that allows linking, including when building your own navigation .

New Collection management and editing options

Now you can quickly and easily make changes to your Collections in the Content Library. Drag & drop columns to reorder them, click to duplicate the entire Collection, and even duplicate rows.

Show or hide Collection rows

We’ve added the option to set one or more Collection rows to Show or Hide, giving you instant and easy control over the visibility of certain Dynamic Pages in your site.

For example, let’s say you’ve built a real estate listing site for a client, and one of the properties for sale is currently under contract. Now your client wants to temporarily hide that property. Instead of deleting that row, now you can simply set to hide it with a single click, which will instantly hide it from your live site. And if the property ends up going back on the market, you simply set that row’s visibility back to Show . Easy-peasy.

Why we love this app?

SEO Opportunities will analyze 5 pages for free, and its paid plans start at $5/month.

Showing an d hiding Collection rows affects both Dynamic Pages and repeater widgets like the Photo Gallery, Accordion, List and others.

See the recent Collection management updates in action, in this quick video:

We’ve also increased the Collection row limit to 500, to make sure you have everything you need to build dataset-based sites for your clients.

We'd like to introduce to you the new Media Slider widget, offering many new and improved layouts, video slides and even text-only slides, and allowing you to customize it the way you want. Sliders on sites can be an effective interactive tool for visitors to browse content in a more focused and organized way.

One slider, virtually endless content possibilities

Use the Media Slider widget to deliver different content types like testimonials, FAQs, product presentations, a team section, services and more. It’s the perfect widget for highlighting a certain aspect of a business in an engaging way.

So what’s new? Quite a bit

We’ve built the Media Slider to include all the capabilities you could possibly need to build exactly what you want, and deliver an attention grabbing slideshow your site visitors will enjoy. Here are the highlights of the new capabilities you’ll find in the Media Slider:

Lots of new layouts to choose from

Browse numerous layouts and find the one that fits your client’s site and business. From a standard carousel to a more unique slider layout, you’re bound to find one that your client will be happy with.

Why we love this app?

SEO Opportunities will analyze 5 pages for free, and its paid plans start at $5/month.

Add video slides

That’s right, video slides are a top engaging way to convey a message. Get site visitors’ attention from the first second.

Control playback, slide transition, design and more

The widget’s Design panel includes lots of options and settings to choose from, so you can customize it to your client’s needs.

How will this affect sites that include the Image Slider?

The new Media Slider widget replaces the previous Image Slider widget. Any existing sites you have with the previous Image Slider widget will remain as they are with the slides they include. If you’d like to switch to the new Media Slider for your existing sites, you’ll have to remove the older image slider, and then add the new Media Slider widget to your site instead.

To learn more about the new Media Slider, and for step-by-step how-to instructions, visit this support guide .

Text-only slides

Add a slide without an image for a compelling message to site visitors. The choice is yours.

We’re excited to share that the Duda platform now supports schema markup for videos , blog posts and native store products .

What's schema, anyway?

Also known as structured data, schema is additional context search engines use to understand a page's content, so they can better show it as a rich or enhanced snippet in relevant search results. For example, we can use schema markup on a product page so Google can verify the product details like price, quantity in stock and images, then use these in Google Shopping search results.

When your site content appears in rich results, it can give it a competitive advantage and better click-through rates. We recommend running the page you enable schema on through Google’s Rich Results Test to see that Google finds them!

Easily add the necessary schema markup to site videos

You can now enter 3 new video details that together provide Google with the necessary structured data to display your videos in rich SERP results for relevant organic searches. When editing a video on your site, go to the Video Content tab and scroll down to Video Schema . Enter the video’s title, description and upload date.

Native store products now get automatic schema markup, too

We want to help you focus on building and growing your client’s store and business. That’s precisely why we’re now automatically generating the schema markup for every active product in your native store catalog.

Why we love this app?

SEO Opportunities will analyze 5 pages for free, and its paid plans start at $5/month.

Enjoy automated schema markup for blog posts

That’s right. For every new blog post you publish, the Duda platform will automatically generate the necessary schema markup for that post, saving you the overhead and additional time you would have otherwise had to spend on this.

In the past few weeks the Duda team has been working hard to deliver on some SEO features you asked for. So now we’re happy to update that we’ve added the following SEO capabilities.

Upload your custom sitemap, robots.txt and other files

By default, Duda automatically generates sitemap.xml and robots.txt files for each site. If you want to replace these with your own custom files, now you can. The new custom file upload option also supports ads.txt so feel free to upload it too, if you need to.

To access the file upload, go to SEO & Site Settings in the editor, then scroll down to Custom sitemap, robots.txt & other files . If you need help, visit this support guide .

You can also use this to upload certain files like .json, .xml, .js and .txt to any path on the root of the domain. This gives you more flexibility to add your own files that Duda might not generate, like security.txt , humans.txt, ChatGPT indexing rules and others.

Store and multilingual pages now included in Duda’s default sitemap

To help you with your site’s SEO optimization, Duda’s default sitemap file will now include store pages (if the site includes one), and your site’s translated multilingual pages. All of this is done automatically behind the scenes for you, so you don’t have to do anything.

Additional no index & no follow settings in the platform

We’ve added several no index and no follow settings to give you more control over what search engines can crawl and index as you build sites for clients. Here’s what you can now set to no index and no follow in the platform:

Why we love this app?

#2 Blog posts

You can choose to set a specific post to no index. To do this, go to that post’s settings and scroll down to Set post to no index . Click the toggle button to turn this on or off.

#3 External links

When adding a link to your site, you’ll see that we’ve updated the Website URL linking settings. Now when you add an external link, you can check one or more of these new checkbox options: no follow , sponsored link (to tell search engines this link was paid for), and User Generated Content (to tell search engines this link’s authority and reliability can’t be vouched for).

#1 The entire site

Tell Google and other search engines not to crawl and index the entire site. To do this, go to the SEO & Site Settings section, then scroll down to Set the entire site to no index , and click the toggle button to turn this on or off.

#4 Downloadable files

Now you can set a downloadable file on your site to no index. This can be a good idea if, for example, your client’s site contains files that may serve site visitors, but might not align with the site’s overall SEO optimization. To do this, open the Media Manager and go to the Files tab. Select the file in question and then check the Set file to no index box below it.

New Google Tag Manager integration

We’ve integrated Google’s Tag Manager right into your site’s SEO & Site Settings , under Google Tools (formerly Google Analytics). The Google Tag Manager allows you to install and manage different marketing tags without any use of code. Some examples include Google Ads conversion scripts, Meta Pixel code, remarketing tags and more.

This adds Google Tag Manager into every page of your site for you automatically, and follows Duda’s recommended best practices for performance.

To enable the Tag Manager on your site, simply enter your Google Container ID , formatted as GTM-XXXXXX.

Add images’ alt text in the Tabs widget

We’ve added an image alt text field you can use in the Tabs widget, to provide details about each tab’s image. Adding image alt tags is important because it lets search engines better understand what the purpose of the image is. In addition, the alt tag serves as an accessibility aid for site visitors who aren’t able to view the image.

These are the recent SEO capabilities we've added to the platform. As we continue to add more capabilities to the platform, we're excited to know these updates will help to boost your workflow, the sites you build with Duda and your clients' businesses.
