The answer, as recorded
I'd pick based on what kind of agency you are. This is the order I'd give them in: 1. **Webflow**: Best for design-led agencies building custom marketing sites. Designers get full control over layout, animations and styling without writing code, and the CMS is solid enough to hand off to clients. The downside is that you can't hide the Webflow branding completely: the CMS logo and form-notification emails still show it. ([lowcode.agency](https://www.lowcode.agency/blog/webflow-vs-duda)) 2. **Duda**: Best if you build a lot of sites or want to sell websites under your own brand. It has the most complete white-labelling: clients see your logo and colours in the dashboard, editor, emails and support centre. It also has client roles, feedback on drafts, approval workflows and strong page-speed scores. It fits SMB and local-SEO shops that need to launch sites in hours. ([Cybernews](https://cybernews.com/best-website-builder-for-agencies-2026/), [Duda](https://www.duda.co/compare/duda-vs-webflow)) 3. **Wix Studio**: A good middle ground. It's built for agencies, with tools to manage many client sites, billing, responsive design and developer features, so you can move fast and still get polished results. ([Wix](https://www.wix.com/blog/best-website-builders-for-marketing-agencies)) 4. **WordPress (usually with Elementor or a similar builder)**: Best for agencies with developers who need full control, custom features or client-owned hosting. It's the most flexible and portable option. The trade-off is that you handle maintenance, security and hosting yourself. ([Elementor](https://elementor.com/blog/10-best-website-builders-agencies-2026/), [Wix](https://www.wix.com/blog/best-website-builders-for-agencies)) 5. **Framer**: Best for small, design-focused teams who want Figma-style design on a canvas, fast performance and a lower cost per site. It's great for landing pages and startup sites, but weaker for complex client management. ([Flow Ninja](https://www.flowninja.com/blog/framer-alternatives)) If you want something cheap for lots of very small clients, **Hostinger** and **GoDaddy** also show up on these lists. They're easy to use but limited. ([TechRadar](https://www.techradar.com/pro/website-building/best-website-builders-for-agencies)) **In short:** choose Webflow for custom design work, Duda for volume and white-labelling, Wix Studio for a balance of both, and WordPress when you need unlimited control. Many of these rankings are published by the builders themselves (Wix, Elementor, Duda, Simvoly), so take their self-rankings with a grain of salt.
