Duda

Duda builds capable sites. The editor offers free positioning rather than fixed slots, custom code is available, the page ceiling runs to a thousand, and the hosting and AI tooling a direct customer gets are the same ones the agencies get. Buying it directly is straightforward — the entry plan has an ordinary checkout with no sales conversation.

The design ceiling is genuinely higher than most of this price band, which is what makes it worth listing beside tools aimed at individuals.

The trade-off is in who it expects you to be. The vendor's own answer to who the product is for names professionals exclusively, and it ships a separate simplified editor for the non-technical clients those professionals serve. A direct customer on the entry plan gets email support only — chat and screen sharing begin two tiers up — and the free trial is of a plan far above the one most readers would buy. The product is excellent and the surrounding arrangement assumes somebody else is holding the reader's hand.
