Marketing Services fulfilled accelerated website
Our Marketing Services fulfilled Accelerated Website product offers everything your team needs to help local businesses succeed, end-to-end, online. This product is built on the Duda platform using AI to ensure a smooth and quick build with simple and effective design. Like our other product sets, it ranges in scalable features you can offer your clients.
With Accelerated Templated Websites, you can provide your clients with a fast, affordable, professional online presence.
Standard tier
- Marketing Services professionals create an affordable, fast-delivered, templated 10-page Duda website for your business
- Duda AI created content and stock photos with accelerated timelines to get the client's site live as quickly as possible
- Web copy written for all 10 pages
- Mix and match elements from two Marketing Services vetted templates to simplify the design process

- Annual redesign of up to 10 pages—one refresh every 12 months, covering the pages in the original build
Activating an Accelerated Templated Website requires a six-month commitment. Set this expectation with clients before they sign—it is the term most likely to cause friction if it surfaces late.
Plus tier (accelerated templated website plus)
Everything in Standard, plus:
- E-commerce store with up to 100 products included at setup, expandable to 1,000 for additional fees
- Over 60 design enhancements—Logo Sliders, Age Verification, Social Media feeds, and more
- Up to 3 custom forms with 20 fields each
- Up to 10 events or bookings created at setup
- Payment gateways including Stripe, PayPal, PayPal Express Checkout, Square, Authorize.net, and Mollie
- Shipping at a flat rate, or up to 100 EasyShip labels per month for real-time pricing
- GDPR cookie consent through Termly
Additional forms, fields, events, or bookings are billed hourly, based on scope.
Plus is the answer for online stores, but also for anything needing payment collection, donations, custom forms, or social feeds beyond Instagram. On Standard, only an Instagram feed can be embedded through the built-in Photo Gallery module.
What to expect on delivery
Set client expectations against the staged timeline, not a single number. Each step depends on the client returning information or approving work.
| Step | Timeline |
|---|---|
| Order review and confirmation | Within 2 business days of the fulfillment form |
| Onboard call | Bookable in as little as 1 business day |
| Website build | Within 5 business days of the onboard call (7–10 for Plus app setup) |
| Revisions | Within 5 business days of receiving requests |
| Set live | Within 1 business day of approval |
The build cannot start until the fulfillment form is complete—missing information delays everything downstream. Add-ons like extra pages or e-commerce extend the timeline, and a revised estimate is confirmed on the onboard call. The overall target is to launch within 30 days wherever possible.
A partner signs up a local bakery for an Accelerated Templated Website. Marketing Services builds a 10-page site using Duda AI content and vetted templates. The site goes live in weeks. The bakery later upgrades to Plus for an e-commerce store to sell gift boxes and pre-orders online.
Can your business succeed in today's online era without a website? It can't be an absolute "no"—but here's why an online presence matters.
Create a presence
Who knows about your business? Where can prospects and clients go to learn more? Your website can help establish your business as a going concern, communicate your brand value proposition, and convey professionalism. Providing customers with multiple ways to interact with your business is almost mandatory these days. Anything less could result in lost sales.
Help build trust
New clients and prospects might want to know about your business history, expertise, and specialization. A website is a great vehicle for people to learn more and attain the comfort level they seek.
Point of contact
Your website provides customers an easy way to contact you and learn more about your products, services, and business.
Sell products
If your business lends itself to online sales, create a virtual store as an alternative or complement to a storefront or office location.
Learn about customers
Learn about their needs, preferences, and interests. Establish and nurture two-way communication with prospects and clients. This forges a deeper bond and helps you serve them better.
