Detailed Review

1blu's Webbaukasten leads with AI generation — describe the business and the editor produces a starting site with matching text, in the same spirit as Jimdo's Dolphin — but keeps everything, including the 190-plus templates, running on 1blu's own servers in Frankfurt am Main rather than a shared cloud region. For a German business that wants German hosting without researching a data centre separately, that is one less question to ask.

1blu GmbH is registered in Berlin. Pricing is transparent across three tiers — Start at €7.99, Business at €14.99, Premium at €24.99 per month — plus a one-time €4.90 setup fee, with flexible one- or twelve-month contract terms rather than a multi-year lock-in.

The Start plan caps out at 10 pages and 15GB, which is enough for a brochure site and not much more; Business and Premium remove the page cap and add e-commerce and social widgets. 1blu is a hosting company first, so the builder is thorough rather than distinctive next to Framer's design-led approach.

What 1blu Webbaukasten does well

  • AI-generated site and text content from the start
  • Hosted on 1blu's own servers in Frankfurt am Main
  • Transparent tiered pricing with flexible contract lengths
  • German company, EU jurisdiction
  • 190+ responsive templates

Where 1blu Webbaukasten falls short

  • Start plan capped at 10 pages and 15GB
  • One-time setup fee on top of the monthly price
  • Design output more functional than Framer's or Jimdo's
  • Documentation and support lean German-language

Standout feature. Its own Frankfurt data centre: 1blu is the only builder here where the host running the site and the company selling you the builder are provably the same operation, down to the server room.
