## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-18 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in order:
> 
> **1. Webflow** - My default pick for design-led agencies. You get near-total visual control over HTML/CSS without hand-coding, a solid CMS, and client billing transfer so the client pays for hosting directly instead of running through you. Downsides: steepest learning curve of the bunch, and per-site hosting costs add up. Best when design quality is your selling point.
> 
> **2. Wix Studio** - The strongest "built for agencies" story right now. It's a separate product from consumer Wix: responsive CSS-grid-style editor, reusable templates/libraries across clients, a partner program with tiers and benefits, and a single dashboard for managing many client sites. Plans start around $19/mo with Plus (~$34) and Elite (~$159) tiers for shops juggling lots of projects. Good value, fast to produce in.
> 
> **3. Duda** - The pick if you want true white-label and volume. Purpose-built for agencies and resellers: your brand end-to-end (editor, domain, client emails), wholesale pricing, and a multi-client dashboard. Less design ceiling than Webflow, but the best margins and the cleanest client handoff if you're running 20+ sites.
> 
> **4. WordPress +
