With the Kopage Website Builder, you can create a professional website directly in your CURIAWEB hosting – without any programming skills and without having to install a separate content management system.
The website builder works on a visual principle: you choose a design, create your pages, and edit texts, images, and other content directly via the Kopage editor.
At CURIAWEB, the classic Kopage website builder is integrated directly into cPanel. You can find it right at the top in cPanel as first icon and launch the website builder from there.
Briefly explained: Kopage is a visual website builder. Instead of writing HTML code or setting up a CMS like WordPress, you design your website using an editor and pre-made content and design features.
Who is Kopage suitable for? #
Kopage is particularly suitable if you want to create your own website, but do not want to deal with installation, themes, plugins, or programming.
Typical applications include, for example, websites for small businesses, the self-employed, associations, services, restaurants, projects, or personal websites.
The website builder also offers the necessary tools for simple corporate websites with multiple pages, a contact form, images, a blog, or other features.
What is the difference between Kopage and WordPress? #
Kopage and WordPress can both be used to create a website, but they pursue different approaches.
WordPress is a comprehensive content management system that can be extensively expanded with themes and plugins. However, this flexibility also brings more options and thus greater complexity during setup and management.
By contrast, Kopage is designed as a website builder. Many features for designing and building the website are already part of the system and are managed via a common user interface.
For example, you don't need to install a CMS first and then look for a suitable theme and various plugins for basic website functions.
Note: Kopage is not „WordPress made easy.“ It is an independent website builder with a different operation and expansion concept.
Do I need to install Kopage? #
With CURIAWEB hosting, you don't need to download the Kopage Website Builder like a normal web application and install it manually.
Access to the website builder is integrated directly into cPanel.
After logging into cPanel, you will find Kopage Website Builder at the very top as the first icon.
We explain step by step how to access the website builder and start your website at Launch Kopage Website Builder via cPanel.
How does website creation with Kopage work? #
Working with Kopage can basically be divided into a few areas.
First, you determine the basic design of your website. Afterwards, you create the required pages and build your content on top of them.
Text, images, and other elements are edited using the visual editor. This allows you to make many changes directly to the website without having to write the underlying HTML code yourself.
We cover the most important areas in detail in our other Kopage guides.
Templates and Design #
You don't have to code the appearance of a Jimdo website completely from scratch yourself.
With the available design and layout options, you can choose a starting point and then customize the appearance to match your website.
Depending on the area, this includes, for example, colors, fonts, and other design settings.
We explain how to adjust the design at Customizing Kopage template and design: Colors, fonts, header, and footer.
Edit content with the visual editor #
A central component of Kopage is the visual editing of the website.
Instead of editing the source code of a page, you work with the intended content and editing functions.
For example, you can use this to build texts and images and combine different content areas with each other.
We show how this works at Create content with Kopage: editing content blocks, texts, and images.
Manage pages and navigation #
A website usually consists of multiple pages. Typical examples are:
Home
About us
Services
References
ContactIn Kopage you can manage your pages and build the structure of your website or navigation from them.
Subpages can also be used to clearly structure larger websites.
We explain the complete page management under Managing pages, navigation, and submenus in Kopage.
Can I use images and photo galleries? #
Yes. Images are among the fundamental elements of a website and can also be used and managed with Kopage.
In addition, functions for galleries and sliders are available for more extensive image presentations.
How to use images and corresponding presentations is covered under Creating images, photo galleries, and sliders in Kopage.
Can I create a contact form? #
Yes. With forms, you can allow visitors, for example, to send an inquiry directly via your website.
This is suitable, among other things, for contact inquiries, quote requests, or other information that is to be submitted via a form.
We explain the setup at Create forms and contact forms with Kopage.
Can I embed Google Maps or videos? #
Kopage offers ways to integrate additional content and external services into a website.
For example, a map can be used on a contact page, while videos or social media content can complement other areas of the website.
We group these functions under Embed Google Maps, YouTube, and social media into Kopage together.
Can I create a blog with Kopage? #
Yes. If you want to regularly publish news, expert articles, or other current content, you can use the blog or news features for this purpose.
For example, a blog is well-suited for company news, events, expert articles, or up-to-date information for your visitors.
We explain the setup and management under Create and manage a blog and news with Kopage.
What additional features does Kopage offer? #
The website builder is not limited to static pages with text and images.
Depending on the required application purpose, additional areas of a website can be implemented using supplementary functions or modules.
This can include, for example, FAQs, event calendars, newsletters, downloads, and other features.
Instead of creating a separate basic article for every little function, we explain them together under Using apps and modules in the Kopage website builder.
Can I create a multilingual website? #
For companies and organizations in Switzerland, a multilingual website can be particularly important.
Kopage offers corresponding options for managing multilingual content.
We explain how to build a multilingual website at Create a multilingual website with Kopage.
Can I create an online store with Kopage? #
Kopage also offers e-commerce features that allow products to be offered via a website.
This allows an existing website to be expanded with a shop area without necessarily having to use a separate shop system.
We handle the setup under Create an online store with Kopage and manage products.
Important: Whether Kopage is the right solution for a specific online store depends on its requirements. A simple store and an extensive e-commerce project with complex product, shipping, or extension requirements place very different demands on a store system.
Can I optimize my Kopage website for search engines? #
Yes. Even with a website created using a website builder, page titles, page descriptions, content, URLs, headings, internal linking, and other SEO fundamentals play an important role.
We will cover the relevant Kopage settings and the most important basics under SEO with Kopage: Page titles, metadata, URLs, and search engine optimization.
Is a Jimdo website suitable for smartphones? #
Modern websites must function across different screen sizes. This includes desktop computers as well as tablets and smartphones.
When building your website, you should therefore not only check the desktop view, but also make sure how content and navigation are displayed on smaller displays.
We explain what you should keep in mind at Responsive Design: Optimizing Kopage website for smartphones and tablets.
Do I need programming skills? #
You don't need any programming skills for the normal creation and maintenance of a Kopage website.
That is precisely one of the main advantages of a website builder: pages, content, and design can be managed using the provided tools.
For advanced customizations, knowledge of HTML, CSS, or JavaScript can still be useful.
If you want to use your own codes, you can find a separate guide under How to use custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in Kopage.
Where are my website and domain managed? #
Kopage is part of the hosting environment at CURIAWEB. The technical management of your web hosting will continue to be done via cPanel.
There you will find, in addition to Kopage, other features for your hosting, such as email, domains, files, databases, security, and further settings.
On the other hand, you use Kopage itself to build and maintain your website.
Briefly explained: cPanel manages your hosting environment. Kopage is the tool integrated within it for creating and editing your website.
What happens to my domain? #
The website builder and the domain are different components of your web presence.
The domain is the address where your website can be reached. Kopage, on the other hand, creates and manages the content displayed at that address.
If you want to understand the differences between domain, website, and URL in more detail, you can find the basics at Website, Domain, and URL: What is the difference?.
Can I change my website later? #
Yes. A website created with Kopage is not a once-generated static result that has to remain unchanged afterward.
You can edit your pages later, update texts, swap images, add more pages, or adjust other settings.
This is particularly important when opening hours, services, offers, team members, or other information change.
Do I have to publish every change immediately? #
How changes within Kopage are saved or published depends on the respective workspace and the workflow of the editor.
Before making major changes to an existing website, you should therefore pay attention to how Kopage handles the change in question.
Den vollständigen Veröffentlichungsprozess erklären wir unter Publish Kopage website and fix typical issues.
