Moving over

How a move from Duda works

There is no import tool. This is what a switch involves, step by step.

  1. There is no import tool. Open the old site beside a new Cliux site and rebuild each page on the canvas; text and images copy across, the layout is redrawn.

  2. Publish on your free Cliux address, share the password-protected preview with whoever signs off, and keep the old site live until you are happy.

  3. Point your own domain at Cliux: two DNS records, and the certificate is issued for you; the Cliux address keeps working beside it.

Frequently asked questions

No. The Online Store, Bookings and the other built-in apps are on every published site. Duda sells its native store as a per-site add-on with tiers.

Neither: Cliux takes 0% and Duda states 0% on its native ecommerce and bookings. Payment processor fees apply on both.

Cliux puts your logo on client documents and dashboards on Agency and Scale. Duda's White Label and Custom plans rebrand the login, editor, dashboard and previews.

A personal site is free to build and preview; publishing it is $9 a month. An agency's Starter plan is free and publishes 2 client sites; Agency and Scale add sites and seats. Duda lists no free plan and offers a 14-day trial.

Cliux Agency is one monthly price for 15 client sites and 10 seats. Duda's Agency plan includes 4 published projects, with additional published sites billed each.

Get started

Build it on the canvas, then decide.

Building and previewing costs nothing. Publishing with your own domain is $9 a month on a personal site, and the agency Starter plan publishes 2 client sites for free.
