Comparison
A Webnode alternative with your own domain
With Webnode you drag the pages together yourself in the editor. With Kotisivukamu you describe your business and Kamu builds the site.
Webnode is an international website builder that gets a site up quickly and for free. For many people it is their first website: you pick a template, drag the blocks into place and publish. The free tier is fine for trying things out, but the site lives on a Webnode address and carries Webnode's own ads.
For business use a paid plan is effectively mandatory: your own domain, ad removal and email all sit on the Premium tiers. Note too that a Webnode Premium subscription covers one project at a time, not your whole account. And even once you have paid, the work is still yours: every text, image and section is made by your own hands in the editor, and the same is true of every update afterwards.
With Kotisivukamu that work is not left to you. You describe your business briefly, or let Kamu read your current site, and about 30 minutes later you are looking at a finished site: an individual layout, real copy, no template. After that you ask for changes in your own words, and Kamu makes them directly in the site's code.

A template, or a site that looks like you
Website-builder templates are a decent starting point, but thousands of other people are using the same one, and the result tends to show it. Kamu designs every site individually from what you tell it about your business: the structure, the copy and the images are made for your line of work. The site is also compiled into finished files and served close to your visitors, so it loads fast and there are no traffic limits.
One price, everything included
Webnode's free tier is genuinely free, but it rarely works as a company website: the pages carry Webnode's ads and the address starts with webnode. Once you add your own domain, ad removal and email, you are on a paid plan. With Kotisivukamu everything is included in one price from €3.90/mo: building the site, hosting, SSL, visitor analytics and support. You can buy and manage the domain in the same place.
Bring your old site with you
If you already have a site on Webnode, let Kamu read it. Kamu picks up the copy, images and contact details from the old site and builds a new, modern one from them. You see the finished proposal before deciding anything, and you pay only once you are happy. The domain is transferred or pointed at the new site, so visitors still find their way.
Analytics and AI visibility are part of it
Visitor analytics are included and running from the first day. They are cookieless: we set no tracking cookies and use no third-party trackers, so the site needs no consent banner and visitors have nothing to click away. You still see how many people came, where from and which pages hold their attention, in real time. In most other services analytics are bolted on with something like Google Analytics, and a cookie banner and consent management come with it.
The same goes for being found. The sites are static and semantic, and structured data (JSON-LD) is written in from the start, so Google and AI answers such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI overviews can make sense of the site without any plugins. This is what GEO, generative engine optimisation, amounts to, and it is largely the same work as good SEO: a fast page, a clear structure and machine-readable facts about the business. The dashboard shows whether the site is listed, and we help with the Google Business Profile too.
Which one suits you?
Webnode suits you if you want to try things for free and build the pages yourself. The free tier gets you started with no commitment at all, and it is a good way to test an idea.
Kotisivukamu suits you if the site has to look like a company's site straight away: your own domain, no ads, an individual layout. Trying it is free here too, but what you are trying is a finished site rather than an empty editor.
Common questions
Will the site show ads or a Webnode address?
No. Kotisivukamu has no ad-supported free tier. The site is published on your own domain with no provider ads. During the trial it sits on a temporary address, and you move it to your own domain once you are happy.
Does the site need a cookie banner?
No. Kotisivukamu sites use no tracking cookies and no third-party trackers, so there is nothing to consent to and no banner to show. Visitor analytics are still included: traffic, sources and top pages in real time.
Will the site be found on Google and in AI search?
The sites are static and semantic, and structured data is written in from the start, so both search engines and AI answers can read the site as it is. The dashboard shows whether the site is indexed, and we help with the Google Business Profile too.
