## The panel's verdict

Webador, a website builder from JouwWeb B.V. of Eindhoven, scored highest on pricing transparency — 8 with no variation — with introductory and renewal prices published side by side. Weighted totals run from 4.7 to 5.5. Editor and design, hosting and portability and forms and business each sit at 5-6, crediting a drag-and-drop editor with an AI builder, over fifty switchable templates, a domain registered in the customer's name, and a shop stack of Stripe and Mollie payments at 0 % commission, Sendcloud shipping, ten products on Pro and unlimited on Business. The weakest area is SEO and marketing, spanning 2-4: the pages promise 'verschiedene SEO-Tools' and visitor statistics, but we found no public information on editable titles, sitemaps, redirects or indexing control, and the freelance designer scored 2 for that reason. Legal compliance splits 4-5 over cookie settings documented on the vendor's own service rather than customer sites, and sovereignty sits at 5 across the table over a public but mixed subprocessor list. The captured pages give different figures for the Pro monthly price, 10,00 € and 12,00 € excluding VAT.

**Speaks for it:**
- Introductory and renewal prices are published side by side for all three plans (Lite 2,75 € for the first twelve months, then 5,50 € per month), earning pricing transparency 8.
- The shop stack is documented in depth — Stripe and Mollie payments at 0 % commission, Sendcloud shipping, inventory, invoices and customers, with ten products on Pro and unlimited on Business.
- The domain is registered in the customer's name and a transfer code is issued after cancellation.
- A data processing agreement is annexed to the terms, with an Article 30 processing register and stated retention for contact-form data.
- The subprocessor list is public, and the contracting entity JouwWeb B.V. of Eindhoven is stated with chamber of commerce and VAT numbers under Dutch law.

**Held against it:**
- SEO and marketing scores span 2-4, with no public information on editable titles, sitemaps, redirects or indexing control behind the promised 'verschiedene SEO-Tools'.
- We found no public information on exporting pages, content or media, and the terms state no quality or availability can be guaranteed.
- The captured pages give different figures for the Pro monthly price — 10,00 € after the promotion on the pricing page, 12,00 € excluding VAT on the features page.
- We found no public information on a consent banner that blocks scripts on customer sites, on legal-text generators, or on accessibility.
- The public subprocessor list includes US providers (OpenAI, Google, Zendesk, BackBlaze, Amazon), with server regions stated only in part and no public information on security certifications.

**Best for:**
- You run a small shop and want payments, shipping, invoices and inventory described concretely before you buy.
- You want the second-year price visible up front — every plan shows its first-twelve-months price and the price after it.
- You want a first site quickly, with a drag-and-drop editor and an AI builder that drafts the site from a short business description.
- You want your domain registered in your own name, with a transfer code issued after cancellation.

**Avoid if:**
- You need search visibility with documented control of page titles, sitemaps and redirects — SEO and marketing scores span 2-4.
- You are a designer or agency needing version history, reusable components or an export of pages and media, and the terms state availability cannot be guaranteed.
- You need a consent banner that blocks scripts on your own site — the cookie settings documented concern the vendor's own service, and we found no public information on legal-text generators or accessibility.
- Your procurement requires a processing chain without US subprocessors or with fully stated server regions.

## Scores by judge and criterion

Scores out of 5, each judge scoring independently against the published rubric (v1). "n/r" = not rated: the vendor publishes no price, or the judge found no public information on that criterion.

### The judges

- **The Small-Business Owner** (v1.0): Runs a joinery with six staff and builds the company website on a Sunday afternoon. Wants a template that looks like a craftsman and not like a start-up, to be found when someone nearby searches for a carpenter, an enquiry form that lands in the inbox, the imprint and cookie banner handled without a lawyer, and a price that is still clear in the second year.
- **The Freelance Web Designer** (v1.0): Builds about twenty sites a year for doctors, restaurants and consultants, and looks after them afterwards. Wants real control over layout, mobile breakpoints and type, reusable sections across client sites, a client login that cannot break the design, backups that restore in one click, and a way to take the site and its content elsewhere if the client or the tool changes.
- **The Marketing Lead** (v1.0): Owns the website of a forty-person engineering firm and is measured on enquiries, not on page views. Wants landing pages built without waiting for the agency, clean URLs, redirects and structured data, analytics that work without a consent wall in front of every visit, and form entries that reach the CRM instead of a shared mailbox.
- **The Practice Owner** (v1.0): Runs a physiotherapy practice with four therapists and a waiting list. Wants patients to book and cancel appointments online, a contact form that does not send health details around in plain email, a site an older patient can read and use, a cookie banner that holds up if the regulator asks, and the data kept in Europe.
- **The Data Protection Officer** (v1.0): Serves as external data protection officer for thirty small companies and reviews their websites once a year. Wants a consent banner that blocks scripts and embeds until the visitor agrees, fonts and maps that do not leave for the US on page load, a data processing agreement and subprocessor list that can be filed, form entries with a retention period, and hosting that is named rather than implied.
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Has seen "your website for 1 euro" renew at thirty, templates that only exist inside the builder, an export that turns out to be the blog posts alone, and a domain that costs a fee to move. Reads "GDPR compliant" next to a cookie banner that loads trackers before anyone clicks, and a subprocessor list that stops at the CDN — and asks what leaving would cost.
