With nearly 50% of visits to Duda coming from people browsing on their smartphones, we felt it was important to extend our mobile website builder platform from the desktop to the mobile browser, said Itai Sadan, CEO and co-founder. Now when people visit DudaMobile.com on their phone, they can quickly build a mobile-friendly version of their website and share it with their friends, customers and colleagues.
