With the Kopage Website Builder, you can create a professional website directly in your CURIAWEB hosting \u2013 without any programming skills and without having to install a separate content management system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/strong> and launch the website builder from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Briefly explained:<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Who is Kopage suitable for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kopage is particularly suitable if you want to create your own website, but do not want to deal with installation, themes, plugins, or programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typical applications include, for example, websites for small businesses, the self-employed, associations, services, restaurants, projects, or personal websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The website builder also offers the necessary tools for simple corporate websites with multiple pages, a contact form, images, a blog, or other features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the difference between Kopage and WordPress?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kopage and WordPress can both be used to create a website, but they pursue different approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Note:<\/strong> Kopage is not \u201eWordPress made easy.\u201c It is an independent website builder with a different operation and expansion concept.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Do I need to install Kopage?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With CURIAWEB hosting, you don't need to download the Kopage Website Builder like a normal web application and install it manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Access to the website builder is integrated directly into cPanel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After logging into cPanel, you will find Kopage Website Builder at the very top as the first icon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We explain step by step how to access the website builder and start your website at Launch Kopage Website Builder via cPanel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does website creation with Kopage work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Working with Kopage can basically be divided into a few areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, you determine the basic design of your website. Afterwards, you create the required pages and build your content on top of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We cover the most important areas in detail in our other Kopage guides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Templates and Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You don't have to code the appearance of a Jimdo website completely from scratch yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the available design and layout options, you can choose a starting point and then customize the appearance to match your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the area, this includes, for example, colors, fonts, and other design settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We explain how to adjust the design at Customizing Kopage template and design: Colors, fonts, header, and footer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edit content with the visual editor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A central component of Kopage is the visual editing of the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of editing the source code of a page, you work with the intended content and editing functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, you can use this to build texts and images and combine different content areas with each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We show how this works at Create content with Kopage: editing content blocks, texts, and images<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manage pages and navigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A website usually consists of multiple pages. Typical examples are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home\nAbout us\nServices\nReferences\nContact<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
In Kopage you can manage your pages and build the structure of your website or navigation from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Subpages can also be used to clearly structure larger websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We explain the complete page management under Managing pages, navigation, and submenus in Kopage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can I use images and photo galleries?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Yes. Images are among the fundamental elements of a website and can also be used and managed with Kopage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, functions for galleries and sliders are available for more extensive image presentations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to use images and corresponding presentations is covered under Creating images, photo galleries, and sliders in Kopage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can I create a contact form?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Yes. With forms, you can allow visitors, for example, to send an inquiry directly via your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is suitable, among other things, for contact inquiries, quote requests, or other information that is to be submitted via a form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We explain the setup at Create forms and contact forms with Kopage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can I embed Google Maps or videos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Kopage offers ways to integrate additional content and external services into a website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, a map can be used on a contact page, while videos or social media content can complement other areas of the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We group these functions under Embed Google Maps, YouTube, and social media into Kopage<\/a> together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can I create a blog with Kopage?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, a blog is well-suited for company news, events, expert articles, or up-to-date information for your visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We explain the setup and management under Create and manage a blog and news with Kopage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What additional features does Kopage offer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The website builder is not limited to static pages with text and images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depending on the required application purpose, additional areas of a website can be implemented using supplementary functions or modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This can include, for example, FAQs, event calendars, newsletters, downloads, and other features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can I create a multilingual website?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For companies and organizations in Switzerland, a multilingual website can be particularly important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kopage offers corresponding options for managing multilingual content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We explain how to build a multilingual website at Create a multilingual website with Kopage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can I create an online store with Kopage?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Kopage also offers e-commerce features that allow products to be offered via a website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This allows an existing website to be expanded with a shop area without necessarily having to use a separate shop system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We handle the setup under Create an online store with Kopage and manage products<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Important:<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Can I optimize my Kopage website for search engines?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will cover the relevant Kopage settings and the most important basics under SEO with Kopage: Page titles, metadata, URLs, and search engine optimization<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is a Jimdo website suitable for smartphones?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Modern websites must function across different screen sizes. This includes desktop computers as well as tablets and smartphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We explain what you should keep in mind at Responsive Design: Optimizing Kopage website for smartphones and tablets<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do I need programming skills?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You don't need any programming skills for the normal creation and maintenance of a Kopage website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is precisely one of the main advantages of a website builder: pages, content, and design can be managed using the provided tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For advanced customizations, knowledge of HTML, CSS, or JavaScript can still be useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where are my website and domain managed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Kopage is part of the hosting environment at CURIAWEB. The technical management of your web hosting will continue to be done via cPanel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There you will find, in addition to Kopage, other features for your hosting, such as email, domains, files, databases, security, and further settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, you use Kopage itself to build and maintain your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Briefly explained:<\/strong> cPanel manages your hosting environment. Kopage is the tool integrated within it for creating and editing your website.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
What happens to my domain?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The website builder and the domain are different components of your web presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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?<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can I change my website later?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Yes. A website created with Kopage is not a once-generated static result that has to remain unchanged afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can edit your pages later, update texts, swap images, add more pages, or adjust other settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is particularly important when opening hours, services, offers, team members, or other information change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do I have to publish every change immediately?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
How changes within Kopage are saved or published depends on the respective workspace and the workflow of the editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before making major changes to an existing website, you should therefore pay attention to how Kopage handles the change in question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Den vollst\u00e4ndigen Ver\u00f6ffentlichungsprozess erkl\u00e4ren wir unter Publish Kopage website and fix typical issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wie beginne ich mit meiner ersten Kopage Website?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Wenn du Kopage zum ersten Mal verwendest, musst du nicht s\u00e4mtliche Funktionen gleichzeitig kennenlernen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A sensible sequence is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kopage \u00fcber cPanel starten\n        \u2193\nGrunddesign festlegen\n        \u2193\nSeitenstruktur erstellen\n        \u2193\nTexte und Bilder einf\u00fcgen\n        \u2193\nNavigation kontrollieren\n        \u2193\nKontaktm\u00f6glichkeiten einrichten\n        \u2193\nDarstellung auf Smartphone und Desktop pr\u00fcfen\n        \u2193\nSEO-Grundeinstellungen kontrollieren\n        \u2193\nWebsite ver\u00f6ffentlichen und testen<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Zus\u00e4tzliche Funktionen wie Blog, Shop, Newsletter oder weitere Module kannst du anschlie\u00dfend erg\u00e4nzen, wenn du sie tats\u00e4chlich ben\u00f6tigst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
