Duda launches Duda Community, a community portal for web professionals

PALO ALTO, Calif. January 11, 2022 — Duda, a leading web design platform for web professionals, agencies, and SaaS platforms that serve SMBs, is announcing the launch of Duda Community. The new hub is a space where web professionals can meet, exchange ideas, create conversations around similar interests, build partnerships, and learn new skills. 

The effects of the past two years have accelerated digital interaction, simultaneously causing many professionals to seek out specialized communities. Now more than ever, there is a need for internet-based channels that give professionals the opportunity to have thought-provoking conversations based on shared professional experiences and interests. 

Duda Community aims to encourage peer-to-peer discussions within a safe and inclusive space for web practitioners. Upon signing into Duda, members have access to the announcement, discussion, and idea boards. Each of these boards contain multiple subject-based threads in which users can provide their commentary and insights on a particular topic. The Ideas board is a popular feature which currently boasts over 1,300 ideas from users during the testing phase alone – a clear indicator that web professionals need a sounding board or a collaborator to get their new concepts off the ground. 

An extension of Duda's current online community on Facebook, in addition to fostering community, the evolution of this new hub directly through the Duda platform allows users access to well-known Duda portals such as Duda University, Duda Experts, Duda Support, and Duda Developers. Duda Community is also home to the League, the competitive feature of the community. Here members can compete with themselves for personal achievements and participate in challenges with their peers for bragging rights that are displayed in the form of badges. This gamified program is inclusive of participation outside of the community by also rewarding members for participating in Duda University.

Duda allows web professionals to rapidly build websites at scale by utilizing tools for automating site building, easier collaboration with clients, advanced customer service, and achieving pixel-perfect designs without a need to code. Websites built on Duda outperform other industry-leading tools, as the platform is optimized to ensure every site ranks high on Google’s Core Web Vitals (CWV) and other important SEO factors. Currently, Duda is the highest scoring website builder for CWV, beating out other well-known solutions ensuring users rank high on Google search results. Duda reduces average website build time by 50-75%, allowing web professionals to scale their businesses faster than normally possible.

“Our goal is that Duda Community serves as an engine to increase brand awareness, foster community content, champion support deflection, create brand advocates, and further empower our web pros,” says Duda CEO and Co-Founder, Itai Sadan. “By creating a content hub for web pros, we want to facilitate the elevation of their digital toolkit and the recognition of their achievements, while helping them reach the next level of their professional development.” 

Following significant testing, Duda Community will officially open on January 11, 2022.
