A third option: Siteglade
Neither Canva nor Decktopus lists websites, web apps, mobile apps and desktop apps on its pricing page. Siteglade does. It plans the pages, designs them, writes the copy and builds a real website you can edit by clicking, then publishes it to a free siteglade.page address or, from Pro, your own domain.
Where Decktopus turns a topic into slides, Siteglade researches the topic first, builds charts from your own data and can deliver the website or the report that goes with the deck. Every task runs in a sandbox on servers in the EU, and code can be exported on every plan.
