Case Study: Italiaonline migrates 35,000 sites and scales website services with Duda and Spotzer

Italiaonline migrates 35,000 sites to Duda in 10 months

Italiaonline, a major Italian internet company and online directory, faced the challenge of its outdated proprietary website builder. The cost of updating the platform internally was no longer viable. They needed a new website builder solution that could not only create modern websites but also handle the massive migration of 35,000 existing client sites with minimal disruption. They partnered with vendor Duda for its web design platform and its successful migration track record.

Duda created a custom plugin to efficiently migrate the sites by mapping old layouts to its structure and replicating styles. Partnering with Spotzer for fulfillment, each migrated site was quality-assured and clients were communicated with throughout the process. The entire migration of 35,000 sites was completed in ten months. Post-migration, Duda and Spotzer continue to provide services, and Italiaonline now services over 60,000 clients on the Duda platform, with a markedly improved churn rate and web design as a core offering.
