## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-26 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The honest answer depends on what kind of agency you are, but here's the order I'd actually recommend:
> 
> **1. Webflow** - my default pick for design-led agencies. Full visual control over layout and structure without templates, a real CMS, and client billing so you can hand off sites. It's the one where you won't hit a design ceiling. Downside: steepest learning curve of the bunch, and white-labeling is weak - clients see Webflow branding in the editor.
> 
> **2. Duda** - the pick if your business model is *volume*. It's the only one built from the ground up for agencies running many client sites: one dashboard for all of them, genuine white-label branding, granular client permissions, and a reseller/SaaS tier if you want to rebrand it entirely as your own product. If you're shipping 5-10 small-business sites a month, this is the margin play.
> 
> **3. Wix Studio** - the strongest middle ground. Agency-specific workspace with client management and billing, a partner program with tiered benefits, and far more design freedom than classic Wix. Plans run roughly $19/mo entry, with Plus around $34 and Elite around $159. Good when you want Duda's client-ops plus more visual range.
> 
> **4. WordPress
