Duda retires the C and V keys - liberating web pros from the copy-paste grind

For decades, copy-paste has been breaking web designers’ flow

Jumping between tabs, breaking their creative rhythm, and wearing out their fingers on endless keystrokes—the web pros’ copy-paste nightmare is real. Rather than focusing on design, too much energy is wasted just transferring text onto a site.

We at Duda decided to take a stand, and Shift got real

We built two AI-powered products that bring content directly into the editor, allowing it to be easily dragged onto the canvas,  freeing web pros from the copy-paste trap:


File-to-Site: 
Designers can upload a text file of their site’s content and instantly see it organized in the Content Library on the left panel - ready to drag and drop directly onto the page.


Import Content from URL: 
By simply pasting a website link into the editor, Duda pulls in the text, images, and business info straight into the Content Library and Media Manager—making it easy to drag and drop onto the canvas.



Today, C & V hang up their keys with a retirement party for the ages

Replaced with a smoother experience, C and V can finally step back and enjoy a well-earned retirement. Guests toasted to the iconic duo, watched a moving slideshow, and even enjoyed a dedicated AI-created song in their honor.


 
Limited-edition keyboard stickers were handed out so web pros could proudly mark their C and V keys as officially out of service.

Don't let AI-generated websites cause day-two headaches. Learn why agencies need governance and control, and how Duda's AI stack offers speed without the risks.

For small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), conversion isn’t just about generating leads. It’s about helping potential customers act in the exact moment they’re ready. Traditional “contact us” forms and phone calls create unnecessary friction: the customer must wait, the business must respond, and momentum often disappears. A booking tool changes that dynamic. It lets customers confirm a time, get a confirmation, and move forward immediately. That single step, pivoting from inquiry to commitment, has a measurable effect. Research across multiple industries shows that websites offering real-time scheduling convert more visitors into paying customers. As AI search and zero-click search eat away at the amount of organic traffic being sent to SMB websites, developing high-quality conversion experiences has never been more important. From salons to consultants to local trades, every lost call or delayed email represents missed revenue. A booking tool captures intent before it fades.
