What makes a website actually work — not just look good? After years working with Duda and Squarespace:
🔵 Duda
Use Global Design early → keeps everything consistent.
Optimize images → small sizes = big speed improvements.
Built-in widgets are underrated — forms & popups can solve 90% of use cases.
Always do a manual mobile check — the final polish happens there.
🟣 Squarespace
Typography changes everything — pick two good fonts and stick to them.
Minimal layouts look more premium than crowded designs.
Spacing = professional design.
Don’t overuse custom CSS — Squarespace works best when you follow its system.
*- General principles
Less is more — simplicity always wins.
Real images > stock photos.
Think UX before UI.
Mobile-first is no longer optional.
