Jimdo
Jimdo is one of the most popular homepage building kits currently available on the market. There are several reasons for this: On the one hand, Jimdo is highly beginner-friendly, thanks to building systems of varying complexity, and on the other hand, the software meets professional standards at the same time when it comes to website design. The fresh designs can be supplemented with controlled, secure legal texts (for an additional fee) and an associated mobile app is also available with Jimdo. The company’s customer service is always available to help in German and provides answers to any questions. However, it should also be mentioned that the software can only be purchased with a minimum contract period of 12 months and unfortunately does not have WordPress integration.

In addition, there is a helpful tutorial to assist in creating the homepage and an associated mobile app. The minimum contract period of wix.com is one month and there is also a free plan. Looking at the disadvantages of the program, it should also be fairly mentioned that no local backup is possible with this provider and the hosting is located outside the EU, which means that the customer service is mostly in English.
