The Duda Experts program is a network of vetted professionals who offer services based on their areas of expertise. To ensure Experts know their stuff, we require them to be Duda certified and demonstrate proficient knowledge with the platform.
Solution Partners are higher-tiered Experts who meet a more stringent standard and have an even deeper knowledge of the Duda platform. We recommend using Solution Partners for larger and more complex projects involving heavy development work, integrations, or high-volume site creation and template design.

We want to build successful partnerships in and through this network, but to do so we must maintain a high-level of reputation and trust.
Outsourcing Projects
Your agency is expected to perform the work received from the Duda Experts program. If you are unable to fulfill a Duda Experts request with your own resources and expertise, it is your responsibility to decline the work. If we find out you are outsourcing projects to other agencies, you risk removal from the Experts program.
