Duda Experts Program Requirements

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.
