Drag blocks around, pick a template, publish, and a hosted site exists in an afternoon without touching code. The free plan is real rather than a trial, though it publishes at a wixsite.com address with Wix ads on the page, and a custom domain means paying. Wix.com Ltd. is based in Tel Aviv and listed on Nasdaq, and Israel holds an EU adequacy decision.

Why choose Kopage over Wix?
The decisive argument is data jurisdiction. Wix is headquartered in Israel, which means personal data processed through it can be subject to non-EU legal regimes: the US CLOUD Act, FISA 702, or similar laws depending on the provider. After the 2020 Schrems II ruling, EU organisations must carry out a transfer impact assessment for every such data flow.
Kopage removes that overhead. As a Switzerland-based provider, it operates under Swiss FADP + GDPR for EU users, and data stays in Switzerland, which the European Commission recognises as offering an adequate level of protection. For regulated sectors such as health, public administration, and finance, that's not a nice-to-have but a requirement. For everyone else, it's concentration-risk insurance: you avoid depending on a single jurisdiction that can change the rules without warning.
