Durable Pros and Cons
We recommend Durable if you…
- Need a very basic and unpretentious website
- Have just 1 minute to build a website
We don’t recommend Durable if you…
- Need an advanced multi-page website
- Want stylish and creative design for your website
Advantages:
- Straightforward and simple website building process
- Your website will be ready in less than a few minutes
Disadvantages:
- Not suitable for advanced or multi-page websites
- Limited design functionality and customization, which restricts creative freedom
- Durable's templates and AI-generated websites have poor SEO efficiency, due to slow page loading speed and AI-generated content
- No personalized support: if the chat bot can't help, your issues will remain unresolved

Durable is a website builder that emphasizes stability and scalability, providing a seamless experience from the outset.

The main advantage of the editor is that it is easy to use for beginners
The main disadvantage of the editor is that it does not provide as much creative freedom as some of the more design-centric platforms like Bazium or Webflow.
Durable provides a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface that allows users to easily construct web pages without needing coding skills.
As a block-based website builder, Durable offers a very limited selection of 30+ sections, which will be sufficient only for the most basic websites.
Summarizing:
Durable is a good choice for those who need a user-friendly website builder. However, it does not offer the lowest entry price or the highest degree of creative freedom.
Durable Templates
Durable does not offer any templates due to its unique model. Websites are generated live using AI. Therefore, the only website we can showcase is the one generated based on our prompt.
Durable Support
Durable offers a support system to assist users with any issues that might arise during the creation and maintenance of their websites. Unlike some other platforms, Durable does not rely solely on AI-driven chatbots. Instead, it provides a personal touch with live human support through email and live chat. However, users on the free plan do not receive any personal support. They have access to the Help Center, but if they desire live chat support, they need to upgrade to the Business plan.

Main Features of Durable Support:
Personal Online Chat: Durable provides online chat support, which is however accessible only if you are a Business plan user, if not all you get is just email support.
Email Support: Durable provides email support, offering users comprehensive and detailed responses.
We tested Durable's support service, and here are the results:
Durable's online chat support responds swiftly, typically within a few minutes, which is impressive compared to industry standards. However, it's important to note that this support is not available 24/7, which could be a limitation for users working on different time zones or those who prefer late-night troubleshooting.
During our testing, the support team was proactive in offering website improvement tips. They engaged in understanding our site's objectives and recommended specific features and design blocks that would enhance our site's functionality and user experience. They also advised on optimizing content for better readability and engagement.
Durable SEO
Durable offers a suite with the most basic and standard SEO features for its users. We cannot say that this platform can compete with websites that excel in SEO, like Bazium, but it’s on a good level.

Technical Optimization
4/4
For testing, we took a website that AI has generated and tested it in 3 services: Google Pagespeed, Solarwind Pingdom, and GTMetrix, which will show how technically ready the website is.
On Pingdom this website has got a B grade, which is pretty good.
However, on Google PageSpeed Insights it got 64 points, and most of the metrics are yellow, which means they are in the critical zone.
Overall, Durable’s SEO is OK, but not satisfactory for those who want to promote their websites with it.
On GTMetrix the website has got an A grade, which shows that SEO for desktops is good.
