Per-site pricing makes it expensive at scale
This is the most common reason teams migrate away from Duda. SvelteKit eliminates this issue entirely.
Smaller template library than Squarespace or Wix
With SvelteKit, svelte compiles to vanilla js — smallest possible bundle sizes.
Limited third-party integrations compared to major builders
Modern architectures like SvelteKit are designed to avoid this from the ground up.

A detailed breakdown of how your Duda content maps to SvelteKit
What may need manual attention
Visual layouts and custom animations built in Duda's editor will need to be recreated in SvelteKit. The content and text transfers, but the visual design is platform-specific.
Migrate your content in three simple steps
Enter your Duda site URL — LeaveWP connects automatically.
Select SvelteKit as destination and choose content options.
Download your migrated content or preview it in your browser.
Migrating from Duda to SvelteKit makes the most sense if you're experiencing per-site pricing makes it expensive at scale or outgrowing Duda's architecture. SvelteKit is best for teams wanting excellent performance with a simpler, more intuitive framework.
You should migrate if: your Duda site is slow, your hosting costs are climbing, you need more control over your code, or you want to adopt a modern JAMstack architecture.
You might want to stay if: your Duda site benefits from white-label platform — agencies can brand it as their own and you don't have JavaScript/TypeScript developers on your team. Duda is genuinely easy to use, and that simplicity has value.
The migration itself is straightforward with LeaveWP — enter your Duda URL, select SvelteKit, and download your content. The more important question is whether SvelteKit's architecture fits your team's skills and your project's long-term needs.
