What’s New and Exciting from Duda’s Annual Conference

One of the major announcements from DudaCon was a sneak peek at Duda’s new link technology. While details are still emerging, this feature is expected to enhance the way we handle links across a website. Imagine being able to perform a site-wide check that catches missing or broken links automatically—saving valuable time during quality assurance.

For designers and developers, this means no more manual checks on every button or external link. The system would alert you if a link is missing or broken, just like it does for missing meta descriptions or page titles. This could be particularly useful when managing large sites with numerous external links or interlinks, like blog sections or donation pages. It’s an exciting innovation that promises to boost efficiency and ensure no links are overlooked.

AI is continuing to transform the way we build websites, and Duda’s AI content tools are leading the charge. A standout feature at DudaCon 2024 was the ability to create on-brand, high-quality content directly within the platform using AI. This tool is perfect for teams and clients who may not have the time or expertise to create detailed copy for every section of their website.

The system allows you to build AI business profiles that feed directly into content generation. You simply fill in key business details—like the industry, services, and preferred tone of voice—and let AI do the rest. Whether you’re developing pages for a dog training service or a corporate consulting firm, the AI assistant pulls from the business profile to generate tailored content that fits the voice and style of your brand. Plus, it’s customizable, allowing you to select a tone that suits your needs. 

Duda’s Editor 2.0 brings a host of new features designed to offer greater control and flexibility in web design. For designers, this opens up a whole new world of creativity.

One key feature of Editor 2.0 is the introduction of separate breakpoints for desktop,tablet,and mobile. This means you no longer have to worry about desktop design being tethered to mobile and tablet layouts, giving you greater freedom to customize each experience independently. Whether you’re optimizing for mobile or creating a complex desktop layout, this feature ensures your designs are perfectly suited to every device.

The addition of advanced grid systems also caught a lot of attention. Designers can now create more modern, layered designs using grids that allow for precise placement of elements. This means more flexibility in crafting visually striking websites without sacrificing ease of use.

DudaCon 2024 offered a glimpse into the exciting future of web design with AI tools, Editor 2.0, and innovative features like link technology. These updates are set to save time, boost design flexibility, and enable our team at RivalMind to create even more engaging, high-performing websites.
