Since we first wrote this article, a lot has changed, and each of the tools has made progress. This version looks at the latest versions of each of the tools, and our latest choices for the best.<\/b><\/p>\n
You’re ready to start building out your website, and you want something that’s easy to use and powerful. But there are so many choices.<\/p>\n
Do I go free and self-hosted? Or do I go with a full-featured hosted solution? Do I need support? Or can I really do it myself? Unfortunately, the bad news is, we can’t answer all of that. But the good news is, we can tell you whether to use Duda<\/a> or WordPress (which is probably why you’re here).<\/p>\n In previous articles, we compared several different hosted solution, including Wix<\/a> and Weebly<\/a>, as well as Duda and the hosted version of WordPress. In this article, we will zoom in and focus on Duda vs WordPress (both the hosted solution, and the self-hosted option).<\/p>\n We spent 100 hours testing WordPress and Duda to see which platform worked best in every aspect, from ease of use to design to performance to support. The result? You’ll have to wait until the end of the article to find out.<\/p>\n If you want to skip to a particular section of this review, here’s the table of contents.<\/p>\n Table of Contents<\/p>\n Phew…now that that’s done, let’s get started with the actual review.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Before beginning the comparison, let’s take a deeper look at what Duda<\/a> and WordPress<\/a> are. We begin with WordPress.<\/p>\n WordPress<\/a> is the most well known of all content management services, and it’s in use by an estimated 25% of all of the websites on the Internet.<\/p>\n WordPress has two different forms: the open source platform and WordPress.com. The former can be installed on a web server, while the latter is a direct competitor to Duda, an online site-building platform. In this article, we will look at both of them and compare them to Duda.<\/p>\n Each form of WordPress is different, so we will distinguish the two by calling the hosted version WordPress.com and the open source version WordPress.<\/p>\n Duda<\/a> is a tool that was built to create mobile websites from desktop sites, but it now makes responsive websites.<\/p>\n Duda used to have two modes: a responsive mode and a mobile website mode. The mobile website mode allowed you to create a mobile website out of a standard desktop site. However, this mode has been superceded by the other, responsive mode. In responsive mode, you enter a website URL and Duda creates a phone-friendly version.<\/p>\n This mode lets you to create a beautiful, responsive site by selecting a template and then adding widgets. This is the mode that more directly competes with WordPress, and it’s the one that we will look into in this article.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In comparing Duda<\/a> and WordPress<\/a>, we will look at these characteristics:<\/p>\n How easy is it to set up the platform? How easy is it to build a complete website? How easy is it to make changes to the website?<\/p>\n Quality is comprised of functionality, design, and performance:<\/p>\n Although the monthly price of a solution is important, it’s definitely not the only thing to consider. More important than price is total cost. You will see that is very important when we discuss the open source version of WordPress. You can install it on your computer for free — but when you add in the cost of tech support and bandwidth, you’re in for much more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n\n
