Negative reviews are just a part of business, and Google wants to know that you handle them like a professional when it comes to your business. Don't just ignore them! Respond - Let the client know you're happy to try to work with them, or you're sorry it didn't work out - Whatever the case is. HOWEVER - People leaving reviews on your business should be ACTUAL CLIENTS. If someone leaves you a review who has never even been a client, make sure to report it! You never know, Google might just agree with you!

Wordpress may be great in some ways, but these vulnerabilities continue to sway us away from building sites there. We'd rather spend our time enhancing your website's content and improve your conversions, not spend all of our time just keeping it functioning!

WordPress plugin vulnerability affecting up to 700,000 websites could lead to stored XSS attacks

Why do we build all of our sites on Duda? We wanted a platform that consistently outperformed the rest. That made things simple for users. That didn't require constant updates, and didn't leave our business owners concerned about vulnerabilities. We always love seeing these kinds of updates that show us just how much the Duda team is working to keep us ahead of the game, always. - Duda continues to Rank #1 against competitors when it comes to Core Web Vitals 🔥🔥🔥

The latest Core Web Vitals CMS rankings show unexpected results, except in the number-one and last-ranked platforms.

Have you ever had someone share a website with you on social media but the image showed up looking funny? There's a specific way to set this up - This image is called an Open Graph image, and the proper size should be 1200 by 630 pixels. Usually this gets messed up for people because they just upload their square shaped logo and by default the system blows it out of proportion to try to fit the space.

You can hop right into canva (for free) and upload your logo to make an image that is the proper size!

Not sure what yours looks like currently? Head on over to https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ - Here you can type in the URL you are wondering about and see how it pops up, complete with meta information.

These are easy checks to make sure that your branding is representing your business properly and things are showing up the way you think when you share them! ✨💅👩‍💻

Spending a little time this morning testing our knowledge! 📚

Web design has come quite a long way since the days of code-only sites. There are many reasons we work with Duda for all of our websites, and one of them is the constant improvement and desire by the company to streamline processes and build better websites while working with agencies. Their new Editor dramatically improves our efficiency for building websites and making changes, which in turn allows us to keep our pricing for small businesses affordable 💵

Other things we love? Their willingness to listen and make improvements based on agency feedback. They are also always available to fix issues, troubleshoot challenges, and answer questions, which saves us and our customers hours of pouring through support articles. Real live customer support allows us to help you faster, keeping costs & stress low 🖤

Questions on how Duda compares with other website builders like Wordpress, Wix, and Squarespace? Just ask! 👩‍💻✨
