Webflow** - My default recommendation for agencies whose product is design. Highest ceiling for custom layout, interactions, and CMS-driven pages without writing code, plus a real client-billing handoff so you can transfer site ownership at project end. Downsides: per-site billing adds up, and white-labeling is weak - clients see Webflow. ([Webflow agency cost breakdown](https://axiomworkspace.com/articles/webflow-agency-alternatives-real-cost/))\n\n**2. Duda** - The best choice if your bottleneck is *operations*, not design. It was built for agencies from day one: white-label editor, dashboard, preview links, emails, and support center, plus a centralized multi-site panel and client billing. Agency plan runs about $52/mo for a bundle of sites rather than per-site pricing, so margins hold up at volume. Design ceiling is lower than Webflow's.

WordPress + Elementor (or Bricks)** - Still the answer when the client needs to own the stack, wants no platform lock-in, or needs something the SaaS builders can't do (membership, LM", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
