Webador Review [2025]: Simple, but It Gets the Job Done

Webador at a Glance

Webador Pros, Cons, & Things That Could Be Better

Webador makes its primary appeal clear right from the start: It’s a website builder that lets you create a functional website in under 10 minutes. Hassle-free and quick website building for anyone – it doesn’t get much better than that.

I won’t waste your time – Webador absolutely delivers. Thanks to its incredibly intuitive and responsive editor, I was able to build an entire website on my lunch break.

Almost every builder has to strike a balance between providing every conceivable feature and keeping things easy to use, and Webador definitely leans towards simplicity. This makes Webador an outstanding builder if you’re looking to get a simple site online for cheap, but it won’t support loftier ambitions.

Still, if Webador is right for you, then it will really be right for you. The Webador editor is available in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish. Is it everything you need, or should you go for something more robust? Read on to find out.

Webador’s Templates Show How Far You Can Take It

Webador doesn’t go the same route as other website builders when it comes to templates. Instead of segmenting its templates into various categories or functionalities, Webador simply shows you what’s available.

This might seem like a bad thing at first, but there’s a very good reason for it. Every one of Webador’s 50+ mobile-friendly templates can work for several different purposes.

It isn’t the most advanced editor in the world (more on that later), but the templates are there to give you an idea of the different moods and styles you can achieve. That said, you should keep in mind that each template comes with its own non-swappable header style.

I personally could’ve used a couple more business-oriented templates that showcased Webador’s e-commerce tools. But still, the great thing about Webador’s templates is that they give you the freedom to make them your own, so any template can become a business-oriented template as soon as you add some e-commerce sections.

Design and Customization

After you select the best template for you, Webador’s customization process is incredibly intuitive. To change the overall look of your site, all you have to do is click the “Design” tab on the top menu. There, you’ll be able to change the colors of your header, footer, background, and accent color. If you click on “text formatting” you’ll also be able to change the template’s font styles, sizes, and color.

Once you’re satisfied with your overall text styles, you can head back to the “Editor” tab. There, you’ll be able to access a modest – but not lackluster – collection of elements divided into five categories: Basic, Structure, Media, Interactive, and Extras. You can add any element to the body of your site by dragging it into place from the sidebar. Webador automatically places your elements onto a grid, which helps to ensure a decent level of visual clarity.

That said, the editing capabilities of Webador can feel limited. You don’t get much say over the settings for your header and footer, and the widget selection is smaller than what most other builders offer. Also, there aren’t many options to customize individual elements, like text effects or animation features. You can definitely create something unique with Webador, but probably nothing mind-blowing.

Webador’s Toolset Is Reliable but Not Very Extensive

Webador provides a solid range of features for customization, e-commerce, and media sharing, making it versatile for various needs. However, the lack of more advanced features – and even some of the restrictions on the features that are there – hold back its full potential.

That’s not the worst thing in the world when taken into context. After all, Webador’s aim isn’t to be the go-to platform for professional designers – it’s to help anyone create a simple but high-quality site. Even still, Webador has a few tricks up its sleeve that pleasantly surprised me.

Webador Offers Unique Elements to Customize Your Page

Besides the classic, indispensable elements like headings, buttons, and image options, Webador offers some interesting surprises to raise your site above the mundane.

If you want your audience to reach out, Webador’s got you covered. Whether you want to include a digital map of your physical location or even a rating system, Webador includes widgets to make direct communication easier. Some of the tools for visitor interaction included in the editor are:

• Ratings. You can add a five-star rating system anywhere on your page, which is a great way to engage with your audience or gauge their reaction to a particular product or service.
• Comments. This might not seem like much, but Webador lets you add a comments box anywhere, not just on blog entries. That means that you can add a section for visitor discussions wherever you like.
• Social buttons. Webador includes built-in icons to easily link your social media sites, as well as plenty of sharing tools to help spread the word around about your website.
• Digital maps. If you have a physical location, embedding an up-to-date map is vital to make sure potential clients always know where to find you.
• Custom forms. Webador includes a pretty solid form tool. You can customize your form’s questions, edit the field type (text, checkbox, multiple choice, etc.), and even tailor the confirmation message.

There’s also a variety of widgets for turning your site into a file-sharing, media-streaming hub, which include audio and video players, a document-sharing system, and even a good ol’ fashioned file download system (with a 200MB upload limit per file).

A Very Complete Set of E-commerce Tools

Webador’s e-commerce tools let you sell products directly from your site and cover core needs. The interface is user-friendly, allowing you to define product variants with separate prices (including sale prices) and adjust each item’s SEO metadata.

You can create discount codes, set fixed sale prices, and even add special product labels, such as “New” or “On Sale.” The store dashboard offers order and inventory tracking, VAT tax setup, shipping options, and customizable checkout fields through the “Edit Checkout Form.” You also get detailed control over coupons and discounts.

Even better, Webador doesn’t charge any transaction fees, which is a rare perk, even among dedicated e-commerce website builders. Note that standard Stripe and PayPal processing fees still apply.

Webador’s Pro plan allows up to 10 products, while the Business plan supports an unlimited number of products and advanced features. Though Webador’s e-commerce features are impressive, I would still recommend choosing a dedicated e-commerce platform if you want to create a fully-fledged online store.

However, if you want to sell a small range of products on the side, Webador’s e-commerce tools give you all the features you need to manage your sales directly from your site’s dashboard.

Webador Makes It Easy To Run and Manage a Blog

If you’re interested in blogging, Webador offers a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) editor that allows you to make visual changes and add custom elements to your blog posts as you edit. This system gives you a lot of flexibility and ensures that you can always craft unique blog posts.

To manage your posts, just add the blog widget anywhere on your site and click on the “manage blog” option. From there, you can change your blog’s SEO features, change post visibility, and quickly edit or delete entries.

Webador Offers Multi-Language Support

This one will be short but sweet. Webador makes its editor available in 12 languages, including custom multi-language support for features like its webshop and custom forms. Though it doesn’t come with automatic language translation features, you can easily duplicate the pages of your main site and translate them yourself.

The editor is available in the following languages:

• English
• French
• German
• Spanish
• Italian
• Dutch
• Portuguese
• Polish
• Danish
• Finnish
• Swedish
• Norwegian

My Experience With Webador

Getting Started With Webador

Webador’s template selection process differs from what I was accustomed to. Unlike most website builders, where you choose your template upfront, Webador required me to enter its editor first. Before diving into the editor, I was presented with two options: start from a blank website or allow Webador’s AI to prefill my site with content based on some basic information.

Once in the editor, I was finally able to browse the template library from the “Design” tab. However, the templates were not categorized, making it difficult to find a specific design style. Although previewing and switching between designs was straightforward, scrolling through an uncategorized selection felt cumbersome at first.

Webador’s AI builder helps streamline the process. It asked me about my business details, such as its type, name, and unique features. It also guided me in selecting initial pages and features (like Google integrations, custom domains, and SEO tools). This input influenced my website’s style and initial layout suggestions, which I found very helpful.

Ultimately, generating a suitable template through the AI builder was quick – it only took a few minutes. However, selecting templates in the editor required extra effort due to the lack of categories and filters. Also, during my setup, Webador didn’t suggest apps or third-party integrations, which might be a drawback for users seeking extensive customization options.

Customizing My Webador Website

Webador’s drag-and-drop interface allowed me to effortlessly move elements into place. For instance, I simply dragged an image element where I wanted it to go, adding my picture. However, I was surprised that there wasn’t an undo button, which would have been a useful addition.

Although Webador doesn’t provide pop-up tips to guide you through the process, it offers a comprehensive help section accessible via the editor. Clicking the “Help” button led me to detailed tutorials and guides, which were a great fallback when I needed clarification.

Basic tasks like adding new pages or customizing design elements were straightforward. To add a page, I just used the “Pages” tab at the top of the editor. Changing templates, accent colors, and text formatting was equally smooth through the Design menu.

Another highlight was setting up an online store. The Store menu allowed me to easily manage products, configure shipping, set up coupons, and add payment methods. I was really pleased to see that Webador supports major gateways like PayPal and Stripe.

Interestingly, Webador doesn’t include an AI-assisted tool like an AI writer or image generator. I’m seeing this more and more in most website builders, so I was a bit disappointed. Such tools can help save time and would have helped me get started faster.

Overall, Webador delivered a user-friendly and capable website-building experience. While it lacks AI features and the design flexibility offered by competitors like Wix, its intuitive interface, solid e-commerce tools, and helpful resources make it a reliable choice.

Additional Ease of Use Features

Webador Is by Far One of the Most User-friendly Builders Out There

I was really impressed by the simplicity of Webador’s user interface. Its highly responsive editor lets you edit any section of your site with just a click. On top of that, Webador goes the extra mile with a personalized “Getting Started” walkthrough, ensuring you always have clear guidance for your next steps.

The interesting thing about Webador’s ease of use is that there isn’t much to talk about. Not because it’s hard to use, but exactly the opposite. From the moment you pick a template to the moment you publish your site, every part of the site-building process is straightforward with Webador.

Webador Offers a Crash Course on Site Building Fundamentals

Out of all the website builders I’ve tested, I wouldn’t have expected Webador to offer such a rigorous set of complimentary material through its help center. It’s not like you’ll find yourself in need of a ton of support documentation often (again, this is one of the easiest website builders out there), so why is it even there?

Well, the answer is that Webador’s help center covers much more than just how to use the platform. It also helps beginners get to grips with crucial website-building fundamentals.

If you’re new to website building, you’ll find useful information about the basic principles of web design, such as spacing, visual weight, page distribution, and more.

The help center delves into various topics, from design best practices to SEO optimization, and its tips are applicable regardless of the builder you’re using. The articles are well-written and use plenty of resources (such as images and video tutorials) for extra clarity.

Easy SEO Settings To Improve Your Traffic Rankings

Search engine optimization is essential for boosting your organic traffic, but putting all the best practices into action can be pretty challenging.

Although Webador can’t apply the best SEO practices for you, what it can do is make it as easy as possible for you to apply them yourself. Webador makes it extremely easy to modify and update your website’s SEO settings. Just open the editor, click on “Settings,” and head to the SEO section. From there, you can easily update page titles, write meta descriptions, and choose whether or not you want a page to be indexed by Google.

You can even edit the SEO characteristics of individual elements as you edit, ensuring you always have the final say over how you want every part of your site to be listed.

AI Tools To Expedite the Website Creation Process

If you need to launch your website quickly, Webador’s AI tools can help by pre-filling it with content. All you have to do is choose the “prefilled with content” option when asked how you want to get started. Then, enter your business type, website name, and location, and you’re ready to go!

Admittedly, the AI-generated text is somewhat generic, but it can be a good starting point. Webador also pre-creates a structure for your site and fills it with relevant widgets. This gives you a solid foundation to work on instead of the completely blank canvas you’d get otherwise.

Webador places a lot of confidence in its ease of use. That could be why there’s only one main way to contact customer support: via email ticket. To test the support quality, I emailed in a couple of (really) basic questions.

I had two questions in mind: Can you directly edit your site’s HTML, and can you use the video widget to embed videos from sources other than YouTube? I submitted the ticket during regular working hours (Monday through Friday, 8:30-17:00 CET). I was pleased to find a response in my inbox in less than one hour.

The response itself was OK. It wasn’t exceptional, but it responded to my inquiries, and it was quick. Webador could benefit from providing additional support options, but the level of support you receive is fairly satisfactory.

However, for the self-learning type, I can’t recommend the help center enough. It has everything you need to build your site from start to finish. There’s also an AI chatbot that answers basic questions, so you don’t have to search through help center articles manually. If you have a more technical question, it prompts you to submit an email ticket.

One of the Cheapest Builders Out There, but Read the Small Print

If you take a look at Webador’s pricing page right now, you might find the numbers too good to be true. And well, they kinda are. The cheapest Lite plan is $5.00, and the Business plan is $18.00. It sounds amazing, and it is, but remember that this price is only valid for the first three months of your plan.

After that period, you’ll have to start paying Webador’s actual monthly, yearly, or bi-yearly fees, which are… still honestly fantastic. Even after the initial discount is over, Webador is one of the most affordable builders I’ve seen.

Webador offers a forever-free plan, which gives you access to every single one of its design features, along with unlimited bandwidth, storage, and websites. The only catch is that your website will have a Webador subdomain. If you want to build a site and publish it under your own domain, the Lite plan gives you access to a free domain name for only $5.00 per month.

The Pro and Business plans remove all Webador advertising from your site and give you full access to every Lite feature, plus the form widget, staff accounts, advanced reports, and more. They also allow you to connect an e-commerce shop to your site. The main difference between the two is that Pro limits the number of products you can add to your store to ten, while the Business plan allows you to add an unlimited number of products.

I recommend starting off with the free plan before you make any commitments, but if you feel like Webador is definitively the best builder for you, then make sure to sign up for the longest possible term. That way, you’ll end up paying less for your monthly service.
