We all know a beautiful website when we see one. And here at Duda, we love seeing all the beautiful websites being created with our website building platform by incredible agencies like yours. 

So we're stoked to showcase these five gorgeous websites we’ve come across, and the awesome web designers behind them.


These highlighted designers are not only building on Duda, but they’re creating pixel-perfect, responsive sites by taking advantage of
DudaFlex’s next-gen editing capabilities. Exciting. 


Joining us for this article is Duda’s very own UI Designer Lead, Anath Abenzour, who’s giving us her professional two cents on how and why these websites are so eye-catching. 

The website for Ritter Sport chocolate shows a variety of chocolate bars.

“As colourful and modern chocolate brand, it is essential for us to have a great looking website. Using Duda and the old row and column layout sure was great already. Yet, with Flex Sections, there were no more limits for us executing a bold and colourful website that looks great on different viewports, which was a bit of an issue earlier.” 


“Our lead design agency supported us with a layout idea, and then we created it right in Duda. We used the sections builder to create layout sections that we then put together to make the final website. We mainly worked with standard Duda elements and had two programmers coding some
custom widgets where needed.” 


“The Duda Collections and
Dynamic Pages were beneficial for us as a brand with many different delicious chocolates. We created one layout for all the product pages we needed and set the actual content up in a Google Sheet. The Dynamic Page in Duda then automatically created the various product pages for us. We were surprised how far our programmers could push the collections feature to create dynamic elements, especially on our product overview page, which consists only of collections.”


"Last but not least, Duda's greatly improved animation feature allowed us to bring the website even more to life. It was the absolute right decision for us to go with Duda. It's never been easier for us to create great-looking website content at a fraction of the cost, time, and effort of classic website building.”


 




Why Anath loves this website: 

“What an impactful way to attract your attention from the start. The person(s) who created this site is a true designer. You can feel it. The gorgeous use of color, imagery and fonts blends together in a really eye-catching way. I love the way the designer used custom widgets, building the site to their exact needs but also taking advantage of Duda’s in-house widgets as desired. They also built the site with DudaFlex which automatically makes the site responsive, so the mobile version of the site looks fantastic as well.”

2. Ethos

“Building with Duda allows me to focus on what matters: design and performance. With maximum flexibility and features, your website can evolve as you do. I wouldn’t choose anything else.”

“This site has such an elegant design aesthetic. The gentle use of animation is really lovely, smooth and eye-catching. I love how the designer customized the template by adding in custom fonts and sections.”

“We’ve tried a few website builders in the past but most of them were missing something. They were either too elaborate with steep learning curves, or too simple with few customisation options. Duda was just right, with the perfect balance between the two. For us, three elements stand out for use when building with Duda."


“First, the
premade templates are super handy: easy to use and easier to update. Along with granular level customisation to suit our branding."


“Then we also like Duda for its CMS capabilities. Part of our ethos is to share our knowledge with our clients—primarily via the website and newsletter. Duda has a neat
content hub for our blogs, contact forms, podcasts, and case studies. The database/collections format in the back-end makes all this a smooth experience. (Both from a design and team collaboration perspective)."


 “And lastly, the platform is also constantly evolving (e.g. flex mode, custom code, or
new apps and integrations). Which means we don’t have to worry about keeping up with latest web design best practices—since this is already baked into product updates. So far, we love the platform and look forward to growing with Duda.”



Why Anath loves this website: 

“This designer chose the perfect template for this client. I immediately feel a sense of the industry as soon as I land on the homepage. The design choices showcase the business in a beautiful way with both great color choices, and wise usage of animations and sections.”

Jess, a lead designer at The Caper, has an extensive background in print design. Initially, she was hesitant about her ability to work in the restraints of web building, however; Duda was an intuitive and easy to use platform.


“I loved the way Duda offered me so many visual options. I still felt a sense of freedom when designing, able to bring my aesthetic through without knowing (or needing to know) any code!”




Why Anath loves this website: 

“This site is designed so tastefully. The aesthetics have a relaxing, soothing vibe. The designer found a template that perfectly matches the tone of her client’s business, and then added in her own customizations to make it unique and specific to the client. It’s a really beautiful example of a small business portfolio.”

“Marjella is a woman-owned web design agency founded by 3 sisters. Recognizing that most small businesses just don’t have the time or budget to deal with web creation and ongoing service, we set out to create an affordable, hassle free option. We looked around for a white label solution and were lucky to find Duda! It has all the tools we need to easily start building state-of-the art websites for our clients."


“Through our partnership with We Make Movies, we were connected with Shoga Films. We loved Shoga’s mission of creating works around race and sexuality to foster awareness of these topics.  We set out to create a dynamic website to showcase aspects of Film, Art, Press, E-commerce, Blogs and Donations. Oh, and we needed to launch this site within 2 weeks!"


“With the Duda tools at our disposal, we were able to make our target launch goal. We were eager to try out Flex, and this site presented the perfect opportunity.  We think the end result really captures the vibe and energy that our Client was looking for.”

 


Why Anath loves this website: 

“This site is so fun! I love how this designer took advantage of DudaFlex capabilities with this site. This template is for advanced designers, and the designer really made it their own by adding in sections as they needed."

Learn how platform ecosystems drive revenue and why they are essential for the growth of SaaS businesses.
By Santi Clarke April 24, 2025
One of the greatest challenges for SaaS platforms is keeping users engaged long-term. The term “stickiness” refers to a product's ability to retain users and make them want to return. In the context of SaaS platforms, creating a sticky product means that users consistently find value, experience seamless interactions, and continue using the product over time. The following are 7 practical strategies you can take to improve the stickiness of your SaaS solution. 1. Offer websites that help customers build their digital presence One of the most effective ways to make your SaaS platform sticky is by offering websites to your users. Many businesses today need an online presence, and by providing a platform where your customers can easily build and manage their websites, you increase their reliance on your product. When you offer users a website-building solution, you’re helping them create something foundational to their business. Websites, in this case, aren’t just a tool—they become a part of their identity and brand. This deepens their engagement with your platform, as they need your product to maintain and update their site, ultimately making them less likely to churn. Plus, websites naturally encourage frequent updates, content creation, and customer interactions, which means your users will return to your platform regularly. When you can give your users the tools to create something so essential to their business, you make them more dependent on your platform. This creates a higher barrier to exit, as migrating a fully built website to another service is no small task. In fact, websites are some of the stickiest products you can sell, so adding them to your product portfolio can be one of the best decisions you can to keep your customers using your technology for the long haul. 2. Deliver continuous value through product innovation The key to keeping users coming back to your SaaS platform is ensuring that they consistently see value in it. This means not only meeting their immediate needs but also evolving to address their growing demands. Constant product innovation is essential for keeping your users satisfied and invested in your platform. One way to achieve this is through regular updates that add new features or improvements based on user feedback. A SaaS platform that evolves with its users will keep them engaged longer, making it harder for competitors to steal their attention. Encourage user feedback and prioritize updates that create tangible improvements. This creates an ongoing relationship with your users, which boosts stickiness. 3. Offer a multi-product solution Another powerful way to increase your platform’s stickiness is by offering a suite of products or features that integrate well together. When your users adopt multiple products, they are more likely to stay because they become embedded in your ecosystem. The benefits of this strategy are clear. Research shows that once users adopt more than one product, especially when they integrate >4 tools into their workflow, their likelihood of churn decreases significantly. This happens because the more a user integrates into your suite of products, the harder it is for them to switch to a competitor. These users have invested time in learning your ecosystem and rely on it for their day-to-day operations, making it much harder for them to make the switch. 4. Create a personal connection with your users Human connection is one of the most powerful drivers of user retention. People don’t want to feel like they’re using a cold, faceless platform. By offering exceptional customer support, personalized communication, and community engagement, you build a relationship with your users that goes beyond the product itself. Make sure your support team is responsive, knowledgeable, and empathetic. You can also consider offering tailored onboarding experiences to ensure users understand how to make the most of your platform. When users feel like their success matters to you, they are more likely to remain loyal. 5. Leverage data to personalize the user experience Using data to drive personalization is another strategy that can significantly increase the stickiness of your platform. By tracking user behavior and usage patterns, you can tailor the experience to each individual user’s needs. This could mean recommending features they haven’t yet explored or sending them reminders about tools they may not be fully utilizing. Personalization gives users the feeling that the platform was designed specifically for them, making it harder to walk away from. By demonstrating that you understand their unique needs, you can build a stronger connection and ultimately increase retention rates. 6. Focus on seamless integrations and API capabilities To further increase stickiness, consider expanding your product’s ability to integrate with other tools your users already rely on. Whether it’s email marketing software, CRM systems, or social media management tools, seamless integrations add tremendous value by making it easier for users to incorporate your platform into their existing workflows. The more your product can work in tandem with other popular tools, the more indispensable it becomes. In fact, users who depend on integrations are less likely to churn since their entire ecosystem is tied to your platform’s functionality. 7. Encourage user advocacy and community building User advocacy is another powerful tool in building a sticky product. When users feel a sense of community or even ownership over the platform, they become your most passionate promoters. Encourage your users to share their success stories, join community forums, or contribute to product development through beta testing or feedback loops. A thriving user community not only increases user engagement but also creates a sense of loyalty. When users are part of something larger than themselves, they are more likely to remain committed to your platform, reducing churn and increasing lifetime value. Create deep, lasting customer relationships Making your SaaS platform sticky is all about creating a deep, lasting connection with your users. This requires building a platform that continuously delivers value, creating a seamless and personalized experience, and integrating features that keep users coming back. By focusing on product innovation, offering a multi-product ecosystem, and fostering strong user relationships, you’ll be well on your way to reducing churn and boosting user retention. Stickiness isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s essential for long-term success. Focus on creating a platform that users can’t imagine living without, and you’ll see them stick around for the long haul.
