French alternative

The French, sustainable alternative to Wix

Choosing where you build your site also means choosing where your data goes, who answers when you have a question and which rules you are subject to. Flopix is a French service that hosts your showcase site in France with OVHcloud, with no advertising tracker and no cookie banner, at a stable price and with no commitment.

Why choose a French service

An international site builder serves millions of users around the world. Its interface is translated, but its instincts are not yours. The obligations specific to French businesses, legal notices, GDPR, information to display on a professional site, are left to you, and it is up to you to know they exist and how to meet them. And when you have a question, the answer often comes from a knowledge base or a service located abroad.

Flopix is designed in France, for French businesses. The legal notice is generated by a dedicated form after the site is created, GDPR compliance is built in from the start, and the team that answers you speaks your language and knows your context. This is not a detail: it is what keeps a site holding up without you having to become a compliance expert.

A question, a doubt, a sticking point? You write in French to a team that answers in French and understands the realities of a shop or a practice in France.

⚖️

French rules built in

Legal notice generated by a dedicated form, GDPR respected by default. You do not have to work out what the law expects of a professional site.

💳

Secure payment

The subscription is paid via Stripe, a recognized payment provider, only when the site goes online. No upfront cost.

Respect for visitors: no tracker, no banner

A showcase site does not need to monitor the people who visit it.

Many sites start with a window to close before they even let you read an address or an opening time. That banner exists because the site sets tracking cookies, often tied to third-party advertising or analytics tools. A Flopix site uses only cookies that are strictly essential to its operation. So it has no cookie banner, no advertising tracker, and your visitors land straight on what they were looking for.

The same principle applies to your own data. What you enter in the form is used to build your site, nothing else. Flopix resells no data and earns no advertising revenue from it: the service is funded by the subscription, and by it alone. This clarity of model is also what guarantees its stability over time.

Lean by design

A Flopix site is light: no stacked apps, no advertising scripts, no features you did not ask for. It loads fast, including on a phone with an average connection, and it uses fewer resources to be served. Leanness is not an option ticked after the fact: it is the direct result of a site that contains only the essentials.

Sustainable: a site you keep

How many professional sites are abandoned after a few months, with outdated hours and an "under construction" page? A site becomes a dead project as soon as updating it takes effort or a provider. For Flopix, sustainability is first of all this: a site that you keep up to date yourself, in a few clicks from your customer account, with unlimited edits visible immediately.

It is also a matter of price. €19.99 per month or €199.99 per year, with no commitment, no higher plan to unlock, no option added when your site grows. You know what you will pay in a year as in three. And technical updates are handled by Flopix, which avoids the classic scenario of a site that has to be rebuilt because no one knows how to maintain it anymore.

Who it is for, and who it is not for

Flopix is for those who want a lean, French professional showcase: introduction, photos, opening hours, contact details, action button, Google reviews, social media, QR code. Shops, craftspeople, professionals, associations: if your need is to be visible and reachable, without depending on a foreign tool or tracking your visitors, it is the right choice.

Wix, WordPress or an agency remain legitimate if you need an advanced online store, an elaborate booking system or a fully custom design. These tools do more things, with the complexity, the budget and sometimes the hosting abroad that come with them. We do not claim to replace them everywhere, only where a simple showcase site is enough.

Frequently asked questions

Where is my site data hosted with Flopix?
In France, with OVHcloud. Your site, your photos and your information stay on servers located on French soil, subject to French and European law. International builders like Wix are, depending on the plan, often hosted outside the European Union.
Why does a Flopix site have no cookie banner?
Because it uses only cookies that are strictly essential to its operation, for which the regulation does not require consent. There is no advertising tracker and no third-party tracking tool. Your visitors land straight on your content, with no window to close.
Does Flopix resell or exploit my data?
No. The data you enter is used only to run your site and your customer account. It is neither resold nor shared for advertising purposes. Flopix's business model is based on the subscription, not on exploiting your information.
What does "sustainable" mean for a showcase site?
A site you keep and maintain yourself, for years, without rebuilding it. Flopix makes edits unlimited and immediate from your customer account, handles technical updates and keeps a stable price. The site is not a one-off project, it is a tool that stays.
Is the price the same as with Wix?
Flopix costs €19.99 per month or €199.99 per year, all included, with no commitment. Wix sits, depending on the plan, in a range of roughly €12 to €30 per month, to which options such as the domain, ad removal or apps are frequently added. The Flopix price is fixed and does not change with the features.
