An early adopter turned advocate
When Josh Neimark, CEO of Fix8 Media, first encountered Duda, he was drawn to its potential for building high-performing websites at scale. For years, Fix8 Media has leveraged advanced features to push the boundaries of design and functionality. The release of Duda's Editor 2.0 elevated their capabilities to a whole new level.
"I'm usually cautious with new tools," says Josh, "but Editor 2.0’s features were exactly what we needed to enhance our design precision and performance metrics."
A seamless transition to better results
Fix8 Media was well-prepared for Editor 2.0’s launch, having already embraced Flex sections. The transition was seamless. According to Josh, “Flex had been our go-to for SEO and performance-oriented projects, and Editor 2.0 just expanded on that foundation.”
Websites built with Editor 2.0 demonstrated an average 11-point improvement in Google Core Web Vitals, directly aligning with Fix8 Media’s mission to deliver exceptional results for their clients. Even existing high-performing websites saw significant gains when rebuilt using Editor 2.0.
Before launching any new website, Fix8 Media rigorously tests performance. The agency’s benchmark is a score of 90 or above on tools like Google Lighthouse or GTmetrix. With Editor 2.0, performance scores now consistently approach 100.
Tools for precision and innovation
One of Josh's favorite features of Editor 2.0 is the new Layers panel and the advanced editing for headers, which he describes as "a game changer for precision design." He notes that the ability to add more columns and work with tools resembling professional design software has made it easier to deliver visually accurate websites.
“Everything is more intuitive, flexible, and aligned with modern design standards,” Josh explains. Additionally, the adaptive and responsive improvements, such as breakpoints that scale seamlessly, have simplified building for varied devices.
Strategy for migration
While Fix8 Media doesn't push clients to migrate sites unnecessarily, they approach redesigns or significant updates with a strategic mindset. Josh explained, "If a client needs a refresh or we’re redoing a large portion of their site, that’s the perfect time to rebuild it in Editor 2.0. It’s a win-win for performance and functionality."
Additionally, the agency prioritizes updating its own templates to ensure future projects benefit from optimized designs.
Meeting challenges with training and collaboration
While the shift to Editor 2.0 was positive for Fix8 Media, training clients presented some challenges. As Josh delivers weekly Duda training sessions to his clients, managing knowledge across Classic and Editor 2.0 requires thoughtful strategies.
His advice? Practice. “Take designs from classic sites and rebuild them in 2.0. It’s the best way to learn the new workflow. Most of the process is intuitive, but hands-on experience bridges any gaps.”
Josh also emphasizes the resources available in Duda University for those seeking additional guidance – whether for Classic users migrating to Editor 2.0 or newcomers starting fresh with Editor 2.0.
Delivering more value to clients
With Duda’s Editor 2.0, Fix8 Media can offer clients cutting-edge tools and higher-performing websites without compromising quality. For Josh, that’s what matters most.
“At the end of the day, I’m in the business of building beautiful, high-performing, and high converting websites,” says Josh. “The future is Editor 2.0. It's the best tool available – why would anyone choose to use the Classic Editor?”
For Fix8 Media, Duda’s Editor 2.0 is more than an upgrade – it’s a launchpad for continued innovation in web design. By prioritizing value and precision, the agency has solidified its reputation as a leader in delivering client success through world-class websites.
