A Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Doubles Website
A Few Helpful Tips
There are two tips that were not mentioned in the video, but can help significantly speed up your workflow! Check them out below.
Duplicating Collections:
- The most tedious part of doing a website that is a double is filling out the content for your collections. In order to save time on your end, however, Duda has a fancy feature that allows you to make copies of collections. To do this, simply click on the collection you want to make a copy of, click on the three-dot menu icon, and select the "Duplicate Collection" option. Be sure that you correctly name the new collection for the corresponding location you intend to use it for.
***PLEASE NOTE: You will still need to swap out the pertinent location information, such as the location in the SEO titles and descriptions, any mention of the location in your header or paragraph text, and obviously the FAQ paragraph links. This is supposed to just be a good starting point for you to work from 🙂 ***
Quickly Connect Your Dynamic Pages to a New Collection:
- Once you have already made a duplicate version of your home page and made the necessary connections to your collection, instead of duplicating the home page again and making those connections from scratch, go ahead and duplicate the dynamic page you already connected!
- From here, the only thing you will have to do is simply change which collection your dynamic page is connected to, and the connections will automatically copy over from the original one! This should save you a significant amount of time when building a double website.
***Once again, please double check to make sure that the correct information is being pulled from the correct collection. We want to be certain that any errors are caught before turning your site in for review 😎***
