A Duda migration means moving an agency-built Duda site into owned React + Tailwind code, so the client site is no longer tied to a per-site platform fee and a white-label editor. Multi-location and multi-language Duda sites are captured page by page as published. The Duda site keeps running through the rebuild. ## Why do Duda migrations lose SEO? Duda's multi-language sites serve each locale on its own path with platform-generated hreflang, and its site-wide SEO overrides are stored per page in the editor. Redirects configured in Duda's own panel do not travel with the content, so historical URLs die on cutover. ## Why teams leave Duda - **Agency plan pricing per site** — Duda charges per site per month. One-time migration plus flat hosting removes that ceiling. - **Widget lock-in** — Custom widgets only run inside Duda. Ship them as React components in the rebuild. - **Own the client's stack** — Hand off code the client's next agency (or in-house team) can maintain — not a hosted builder they don't own. ## Why teams leave Duda for an AI builder - **Your repository, your review process** — The rebuild happens in Git. Every page arrives as a reviewable change, which suits teams with an existing deployment pipeline. - **The agent reads the migration package directly** — The Sitejump connector gives Cursor the captured pages, redirects, metadata and assets, so the agent rebuilds from evidence instead of guessing. - **No platform lock-in** — Standard React and Tailwind, deployed anywhere: your own servers, a static host, or a managed platform. - **Edit by prompt, not by ticket** — Once the Duda site is rebuilt in the selected AI builder, the team can edit pages by describing changes in plain language. - **AI-native, not AI-bolted-on** — The migration package is prepared for the selected AI builder, v0, Replit, Cursor or Claude, with instructions suited to the selected destination. - **Portable React + Tailwind you actually own** — No more proprietary templating locking your site to Duda. The rebuild is standard React + Tailwind — any developer or any AI assistant can extend it, and no vendor can hold the codebase hostage. ## How it compares | Option | Verdict | | --- | --- | | Stay on Duda | Keeps monthly bills and the vendor lock-in. Every edit still needs a developer or agency ticket, and the platform gets older, not smarter. | | Rebuild in Next.js on Vercel | A capable route, but migration discovery, content capture, redirects and evidence still need to be assembled before the rebuild begins. | | Move to Webflow or Framer | Trades one hosted builder for another. You still don't own the code, and you'll re-platform again the day you need real product surfaces (auth, dashboards, checkout). | ## FAQ ### Do I need to touch Duda during the migration? No. Sitejump crawls your live site the same way search engines do — we only need the public URL. Your Duda install keeps running until you're ready to cut over. ### What about SEO? Will rankings drop? Every URL is preserved or 301-redirected to its new route, and every page's title, description, canonical and OG tags are carried forward. Search Console sees a clean move, not a rebuild. ### Is this a subscription? No. One free audit, then a one-time payment based on your site's page count. Lifetime access to your migration data through your account MCP connector. ### How does the rebuild actually happen? Paste one MCP URL into an AI builder, v0, Replit Agent or a compatible coding workspace. The builder reads the migration package and rebuilds pages on your instruction — you stay in control of design and structure. ### Does paying for a migration replace my live website? No. The current site keeps running as-is. Payment unlocks the migration package and connector for the saved destination. The switch happens only when the rebuilt site is published and the domain is moved. ### Which AI builder should I use for a Duda migration? Choose the selected AI builder, v0 or Replit for a hosted project, or Cursor or Claude for a portable repository deployed to a host you control. Sitejump saves the choice with the migration and adapts the instructions and package. ### What would this cost with an agency instead? A manual Duda rebuild is typically quoted at €1,000–€4,000 — most of that is the copying: pages, redirects, images and language versions carried over by hand. Sitejump automates that part for a one-time fee. ### Can non-developers edit the site after migration? Yes. The selected AI builder can apply plain-language changes after the rebuild. Complex product features and integrations may still need developer review. ## Next step Run a free audit at https://sitejump.dev/ — it samples about five pages plus the sitemap, detects the CMS, counts pages and languages, and returns an SEO preview before you pay anything.
