Likelihood to Recommend
Duda is great for small to medium sized websites building, where some level of animation is ok and mostly for presenting online information, and its SEO performance is very good then. But for very large or heavily interactive websites it may not be the best choice.

Yola is great for a more static approach to building websites. Building dynamic applications is possible because of HTML, but oftentimes harder to accomplish.

Cons
  • Ecommerce can use some improvement--but this should be taken care of in 2023
  • A more robust app marketplace
  • More custom widgets

  • Password Management Beyond a Single Password - Perhaps Implementing OTP which would allow the sites to do subscription services.
  • An easy way to upload images/files for reference when using HTML

Usability
Upon using the builder for the first time, I found Duda to be extremely intuitive and easy to figure out, but also has a high skill-ceiling. After 5 years of building in the drag-and-drop builder, I continue to teach myself new tricks and methods to continually improve my process and design capabilities within the platform. I've built dozens of Duda sites and each one is better than the last.

Well. I rated Yola '10' because I couldn't rate it '10+.' For me it scores more than a '10.' I'm COMPLETELY satisfied. But not just with Yola, but with it's staff. Great people.

Alternatives Considered
Duda lets me customize the entire page. With Squarespace, many of the templates were limiting on editing the header and footer. Also in the past, I couldn't change the page title and page header to be different in Squarespace. This was not good for SEO. Wix is good but also a little bulky and glitchy.

How Yola stacks up against them? I think the question is best phrased: 'How do these stack up against Yola?' That's just it, in my opinion, they don't. In fact, Yola's in a class by itself.
