Empowering small businesses to make a big impact
Quantifi Media, a full-service digital marketing agency based in Pennsylvania (U.S.), is on a mission to help small businesses flourish in the digital landscape. "We're all about creating effective digital marketing strategies and jaw-dropping websites, which Duda really helps us with," says Courtney Quaresimo, Founder & Owner.
Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) from different verticals trust Quantifi Media to handle their web development and digital marketing needs, allowing them to focus on what they do best. Most clients come from the local service industry, including plumbers, home builders, wellness companies, photographers, and restaurants.
Their success is what drives Quantifi Media. So after testing various website-building platforms, the agency chose Duda to create websites for all its clients, migrating those from different platforms.
“Duda has been a game changer for us compared to what we were doing before. It gives us the ability to deliver great websites to our clients and plays an active role in wowing them. It brings a lot of value to our agency and plays a key role in our company's growth.” – Courtney Quaresimo, Founder & Owner at Quantifi Media
The quest for the best website builder
Quantifi Media, founded two weeks before COVID-19 hit, was a venture born out of Courtney's 10-year experience in a large marketing agency. "When the pandemic hit, I thought I had made the biggest mistake in my life," she recalls, "but it wasn't, it was the best decision."
The agency, starting with just a couple clients from Courtney's industry connections, has seen a 328% revenue growth in three years and now serves over a hundred clients.
Like most agencies, Quantifi Media began building websites on WordPress, but Courtney quickly became disenchanted. "I hated working with WordPress," she says. "I didn't like their security, their interface – I really didn't like anything about it."
So, she embarked on a quest to find the perfect website builder. With her agency's brand in mind, she wanted a white-label platform that would prioritize client-facing consistency.
“We did a lot of research to find the best platform for us. We tested Duda and we really liked what we saw. We decided to build our agency website on it and I have loved Duda ever since, I do think that Duda is the best option for us. Of course there are always things that can be improved, but we feel that every new feature that is launched helps us in some way.” – Courtney Quaresimo, Founder & Owner at Quantifi Media
Duda: The perfect fit
According to Courtney, Duda outperformed all other website building platforms she tested in every aspect: SEO capabilities, ability to do custom coding if needed, good templates, and “it doesn't have all those plugins like in WordPress that break all the time,” she says.
Now, every time a Quantifi Media client logs into their website, they see the agency’s logo at the top of the Duda editor. Duda’s white-label feature gives the agency the opportunity to put their brand in the spotlight, deepen the relationship with their clients, make them think about their marketing, and potentially allow the agency to do more for them.
Another Duda feature that adds a lot of value to Quantifi Media and helps the agency’s team be more productive and save a lot of time is the flex technology. “Sometimes it’s really hard to build sites that will look good no matter the screen size and Flex facilitates this significantly,” says Courtney.
Duda’s support, educational resources and the Duda Community also make a difference for the agency. Courtney is an active member of the community and finds it very helpful for discussing best practices on using the platform.
“Customer support is fantastic. I’m very impressed by the team’s professionalism and expertise. They really understand what we are trying to accomplish. Another thing that is a huge selling point for me is being able to talk to customer service almost 24/7.” – Courtney Quaresimo, Founder & Owner at Quantifi Media
Rock-solid relationships, long-term partnerships
Quantifi Media prioritizes building strong relationships with its clients. Each website project begins with a discovery call to understand their needs and how people typically find their business. This ensures clarity from the outset about what their site needs to do to convert visitors into leads.
Most website clients opt for an annual fee that includes hosting, website maintenance, and updates whenever necessary. The Duda platform allows the agency to customize each project while efficiently managing over a hundred websites with a team of five, including just one lead designer.
Courtney emphasizes that clients can reach out to the agency for changes or make them themselves."I think that sets us apart," she says. "If they need something, they know they can come to us." Quantifi Media also offers a range of additional services, including SEO, PPC campaigns, social media management, graphic design, and brand creation.
As a result, most clients become enthusiastic advocates for Quantifi Media, leading to word-of-mouth recommendations, referrals, and a growing reputation. Clients are now visiting their brand-new office in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, in the Poconos. The agency has more than tripled its growth in the past three years and plans to double it again in the next three to five years.
“We plan to be long-term partners with Duda. We’re looking forward to continuing growing and having Duda be a driving force and a valuable tool behind that growth.” – Courtney Quaresimo, Founder & Owner at Quantifi Media
