What is WebWave?

WebWave — an alternative for agencies and freelancers for creating custom websites for clients with the support of CMS.

Using CMS with no sacrifices
WebWave is a CMS platform that gives a designer precision up to 1 px in every single detail just like in more sophisticated graphic programs such as Photoshop while remaining a drag and drop software. This is to make creating websites much faster without loosing on details.

Spend less time talking
WebWave also helps users to communicate with clients. Instead explaining how things work, the user can show clients an already working website, so they learn about it through their own experience.

Improve collaboration
Users can work on a website with clients using many accounts. For that, first chooses which elements can be edited so a customer won't mess up the design. It's also helpful for beginners who need help from design mentors.

Enhance branding
Users can turn on the white label option so clients will only the brand's logo, and every time a customer signs in they get to see the user's own brand mark. Creating projects independently (with no coding) with the help of a structure helps users grow faster as a web designer.

As a video marketing business owner, I use WebWave to create and manage my company's website. I switched to WebWave from Wix because I found WebWave's interface to be more user-friendly and the load times to be faster.
WebWave addresses the business problem of creating a professional-looking website without coding knowledge. As a video marketing business owner, it's essential to have a visually appealing website that showcases my services and previous work. WebWave's customizable templates and drag-and-drop features allow me to create a website that meets my needs without having to hire a web developer.
The scope of my use case is focused on creating a website to showcase my business and services. I use WebWave's hosting services and content management system to manage website content and keep it up-to-date with my latest work and services. Additionally, I've used WebWave's SEO tools to optimize my website for search engines, which has helped increase my online visibility and attract more clients.
Overall, WebWave has been a valuable tool for my video marketing business by providing an easy-to-use solution for creating and managing my website. It has helped me save time and money by avoiding the need to hire a web developer while still allowing me to have a professional-looking website.
  • Customizable templates: WebWave offers a variety of pre-designed templates that can be customized to fit your needs. The templates are modern, visually appealing, and cover a wide range of industries and purposes. Users can easily change the layout, fonts, colors, and images to match their branding and style.
  • Drag-and-drop interface: WebWave's drag-and-drop interface is intuitive and straightforward, making it easy to create a website without any coding knowledge. Users can add and arrange elements such as text, images, buttons, and videos by simply dragging them to the desired location on the page.
  • Responsive design: WebWave's templates are designed to be mobile-friendly and responsive, which means they adapt to different screen sizes and devices. This is important because a growing number of users are browsing websites on mobile devices, and having a website that is optimized for mobile devices can improve user experience and search engine rankings.
  • Steep learning curve: even though I'm an advanced Wix user with some knowledge in photoshop (WebWave's editing flow resembles it) it may take some time to take over and do exactly what you intend to.
  • Limited native app integrations: WebWave currently has limited app integrations compared to other website builders. Yes, you can add a custom code but it's too cumbersome to pull off in comparison to Wix.
  • To WebWave's defense - the good documentation makes it easier.
Well suited:
Small businesses and entrepreneurs: WebWave is an excellent option for small businesses and entrepreneurs who need a professional-looking website without spending a lot of time and money. It's easy to use, customizable, and offers fast load times and responsive design.

Less appropriate:
Large e-commerce websites: If you're looking to create a large e-commerce website with a vast number of products and advanced features, WebWave may not be the best option. Its e-commerce functionality is limited compared to other website builders, and it may not be able to accommodate the needs of a large-scale online store.

Also, if you need much coding, you would rather have it with something that is wordpress-based.

I'm so glad I recently discovered WebWave. It is an amazing website-building platform geared toward designers and creators who enjoy the simplicity of a WYSIWYG editor but with granular control over element placement, layering, and properties. It’s also one of the few builders that include an email address if you subscribe to their Pro plan, as well as provides options for you to export a site and host it elsewhere. Blog and lightweight e-commerce are also included. While the template library is smallish, what is included looks great. Since WebWave is more akin to Photoshop than Wix, the uninitiated should take advantage of building their first few projects from templates to learn the ins and outs. There is a learning curve with this system, but once you get the hang of freehand design, the sky is the limit. It is immensely helpful that WebWave is an established product, so you can count on finding answers in the company’s robust knowledge base, very responsive tech support, and in their active Facebook community.
  • Place elements anywhere on a page
  • Granular control of settings and animations using layers
  • Export your creations and host elsewhere if you choose
  • Site speed is a little sluggish
  • UI is initially overwhelming
  • User must manually adjust layout settings to achieve true responsive design
The WYSIWYG web builder marketspace is saturated, but there are not many solutions out there that eschew table-based design in favor of letting creators build sites where anything goes wherever you want. You’ll likely want to skip this product if you need a plug-and-play solution where everything is automatically responsively. However, if you have an eye for design, love creative control, and like to sweat the details until you have made the perfect website, WebWave is a must buy.

We use this to build and host websites. The platform is a good value, the sites look nice, the sites are responsive, the hosting is stable, and the company seems to do a good job of growing, improving, providing support, hearing user feedback, delivering on core needs, and containing key features. The biggest improvement I think is needed is making the platform a little more intuitive because when I need to train new staff on how to build sites, there seems to be a bit of a learning curve as compared to similar sites. That said, I am a fan of WebWave and suggest it.
  • Stable
  • Good features
  • Good value
  • Nice looking sites
  • User interface more intuitive
  • Easier options for quick site generation
Somebody needing a good combination of value, dependability, and core features is a good use case for a team that has some technical ability.

If a team is very new or green in site building or has highly specific format requirements on how a site should look, then this might be less appropriate.

I love these tools mainly because of the ease to use and the variety of features added very quickly. it helps me make websites for my clients especially the ones who want a quick solution so they can start selling or blogging. The ability to Blog has e-commerce and SEO-friendly features making for a very smooth experience with this tool. Thank to the different types of templates this would be the best tool to go to when you are trying to start to make a website and give a few quick options to the clients before starting the building process.
  • Blogging
  • E commerce
  • Drag and drop
  • Changes and branding
  • More integrations with other tools as this is still a new SAAS
This is a good option for someone who wants to build a website in a very quick manner even a few days and personalize it without the need to know how to code as you have a lot of options to make eCommerce blogs and CV websites. But this could be limited to what integrations they have in case you want to make a complicated website like with booking and linked information for hotels for example or so.

I ran early tests on the platform. Here's the short version. There are numerous nitty-gritty alternatives that can also be cleaned up. If you only need a simple store or lead page builder, this may be a better option. This is preferable to webstarts, in my opinion.
  • It's easy to go to the market, for simple, effective landing pages
  • Easy deployment of lead generation websites
  • Drag and drop builder
  • Easy simple store
  • Even if the page is modified and saved, the published site does not see the changes. It took up to an hour for the changes to take effect.
  • There is no integration of the Google rich schema settings.
  • Loading time is not as fast as many competitors—Gtmetrix performance rating is a maximum of 81 percent, although Google PageSpeed mobile (56 percent) and desktop (56 percent) are faster (91 percent ). Checked with a ready-made theme.
  • The WebWave website IP addresses have been blacklisted for malware. Malwarebytes frequently prevents the loading editor or live test pages. This could be because the backend framework IPs were previously utilized someplace, affecting WebWave in general.
  • Only payment gateway for the store settings is Stripe, which is not available in many countries.
  • Manual VAT/Tax options in the shipping/store page-single/fixed one tax type only.
My recommendation is a 7 out of 10 ( 3 out of 5 stars). There is plenty of space for growth and development. Speed and cache need to be much improved. They will have to work hard to improve usability as well. There are numerous nitty-gritty alternatives that can also be cleaned up. If you only need a simple store or lead page builder, this may be a better option. This is preferable to webstarts in my opinion.

This is a perfect product for clients, even though I know how to create websites from 0, this is a super complete option—easy to deploy and cheaper than other options, and I have used a lot of website builders. But the ones that allow drag and drop doesn't meet the advanced requirements as the one completely built for me. But this option is the most intuitive and complete for an excellent price and also the offer fríendly prices for agencies, so that's an extra point. Everything without complications.
  • animations
  • seo
  • drag and drop
  • wizard feature
  • More integrations
It's well suited for complete websites but fits perfectly for landing pages and when you need to hire designers but not developers. This tool helps to get done projects very easily for eCommerce stores for clients that prefer to manage a subscription instead of the whole web development. Its not that well suited for people that require very specific functions that may require plugins.

I needed a quick and easy way to get a website online. I help small non-profits or mom/pop shops. Typically they do not have anyone with a web background. WebWave makes it easy to get up and running and easy to maintain. The system is a very easy-to-use drag and drop builder with pretty standard design elements. Since it is cloud-based you can work on a site design from anywhere on any device. There are tools to easily build forms, shopping carts, portfolios, etc. The system is easy enough for a casual user but has some advanced control that more experienced designers will appreciate. I was able to get the first site up in 30 minutes
  • Easy drag an drop web builder
  • Easy form and basic shopping cart builder
  • Decent templates available
  • More advanced design options for more experienced designers
  • More shopping cart options/features
  • More payment options
  • Work on the UI backend
This is a user-friendly cloud-based website builder. A developer can set up the site and coach the user to maintain it. For small a small business, you can get an online presence up quickly and still have forms and basic e-commerce functions. The pricing is very attractive right now being comparable to or less than other systems out right now.

We use WebWave to create smaller websites for people. With great designs and easy to an understanding editor we feel confident in handing over the website to people that feel confident in doing updates themselves. The way it is laid out and the options are intuitive to people used to other desktop-based programs. Setting up a site from scratch is super easy as well. There is nothing to install, nothing to update. You can get a lot done in a short amount of time. With drag and drop for all parts of the site. This is a great tool for people wanting an easy-to-build professional-looking website.
  • Drag and drop builder is great
  • Lots of good looking templates to choose from
  • Lots of options for every element on the page
  • Able to change between pages easily
  • More payment options for the online store function
  • A simple mode with more guiding for complete beginners
  • Being able to setup a membership website
WebWave is suited for anyone that wants to build their own website. But doesn't want or need to know about website hosting, installing things, etc. WebWave gives them a great-looking website while giving lots of options and easily being able to change the content. All while doing it at a pricing level that is better than other options out there.

Unmatched to other platforms like a wiz, Squarespace, and so many others! I’ve loved every moment of building and it’s making our jobs a lot easier to turn out projects quicker! We also love the customer service. It’s hard these days getting stellar service but their team is also unmatched by the Fortune 500 companies.
  • Layout and ease of use
  • Customer support
  • Customization options
  • Masonry galleries need working on (slightly)
As mentioned before their support and the ability to customize as much as you can. It’s unmatched to most if not all platforms we’ve used in the past.

I have tested the product it seems good. We haven't completed shifting our website here yet. But What I know is the added functionality of posting blogs is an added bonus for me. In my previous website builder, they didn't give me a CMS but here they are giving it got free.
  • Drag and Drop is very good.
  • CMS is added into the plan so I don't have to pay extra.
  • They also have online payment system for eCommerce.
  • The UI can be more robust. It seems little boring.
The sign-up process was very good and light. The one thing I like about the editor (website edition) is how it looks. It gives the vibe of pro features similar to web flow but has a better robust drag and drop features. With a few clicks, I can enlarge the elements.

I am an artist, art educator, and artist coach. For the past 20 years, I have been advising other artists how to develop, market, and sell their work. Creating a professional website and an online store is a central element in this process.

In my opinion, WebWave is an excellent tool for creating professional websites. The interface is very similar to Photoshop, so given the fact that most artists and designers have some experience using Photoshop, WebWave is very intuitive to use.
  • A UI that is similar to Photoshop--layers, etc.
  • Not grid-based, so it gives the designer open possibilities
  • Lots of options to make the website dynamic--animations , etc.
  • Transparency options
  • E-commerce/store options could be expanded on
  • More payment options
Whether for a single site creator or an agency, I think that WebWave is an excellent tool. I teach a university course for artists on how to market and sell your work online, and I recommend WebWave to my students. It is the perfect tool for creatives, since it allows you to have your creative style reflected through your website design, rather than using a template-based design.

It is being used throughout our organization but mostly by our web development team. It helps tremendously with design elements of cloud-based tools we integrate for websites. We like the flexibility of the design and it allows us to create frontend web-page designs that still have rich content capabilities. This works well for us.
  • Website design
  • Design review
  • Feature customization
  • It would be great to have a "novice" setting
  • Easier interface for backend
  • More payment options
  • More e-commerce direct integrations
Front-end web design. Great alternative to Wix or Weebly.

A very easy and simple way to make your own website without paying a dime to a professional! I'm pleased to be a user and very happy with all possibilities that WebWave has given to me. I made, for now, two websites for my coffee shop and my blog about coffee.
  • Easy to use
  • Very nice templates
  • Good price!
  • Good support
  • Screen for iphone 12 is out of the standard for mobile previewe
  • Better chat options
  • Plugin for crypto payments
Small business owner with a simple or half professional need for a website or a web shop! There are no need to pay a professional for a start. Everything you can do with a webwave and there tutorial on youtube. It is simple as that. Be preparied to launch your product or service for a day or two with a webwave

I've been using a couple of other web builders for the past 5 years. I
recently came across WebWave on appsumo and found it offers more design options and flexibility when compared to
the other builders. Some of the design tools like the option to place logos, and graphics in elements at specific positions are my favorite. However, support materials need to be provided for instructions on some things.
  • Easily add graphics to my sites.
  • It offers layering of elements similar to Photoshop, enabling more creative design.
  • Lots of functions.
  • Looks professional.
  • Add more payment options in the case of the store.
WebWave is great for quickly building professional looking websites.

I run a web designing business. I have been using a couple of other web builders for the past 3 years. I recently came across WebWave and found it offers more design options and flexibility as compared to the other web builders. Some of the design tools like the option to create transparency in elements, the ability to place logos, graphics, and elements at specific positions are a real boon. It also offers an email solution along with its premium plan, but I have not tried it out yet. However, support materials need to be provided for instructions on some things.
  • Placement of graphics, logos, elements at specific locations on the page.
  • Ability to easily tweak the mobile versions to make them more user-friendly.
  • Transparency option for elements.
  • It offers layering of elements similar to Photoshop, enabling more creative design.
  • It would be great if the shopping cart can offer a couple of product variations.
  • Support materials/videos for instructions like pasting code, changing [the] name of the temporary URL, etc.
WebWave is suitable to make a website for corporate, professionals, artists, etc. If the shopping cart can be worked on to offer a few product variations, it can be used for more online sellers. It is also good for blogs by creative professionals.

WebWave is the best website builder I've used. Very easy to use, very intuitive. I use this tool every day because there are always some fixes to my clients' websites, and every time I do it on this website builder, I am happy. I have the impression that this tool was made especially for me.
  • Very friendly page layout and configuration of all elements
  • All collected so that I do not have to search for a long time to add or change the selected item
  • The only thing I would change is to add more payment options in the case of the store (it is about plug-ins). PayPal and cryptocurrency would also be useful.
I have a menu set up with all the editing tools on the right and the paste items on the left side of the screen. Everything at hand, I do not need to look. There is a very clear tutorial and helpful videos.

I like WebWave because it's like creating your own website in Photoshop. This website builder provides a list of advanced graphic features like Layer List, or Pixel perfect. So I made a great design for our blog websites and articles - this makes my blog special. These features helped me very much with how my website and articles look on mobile. It provides total control.
Also, I appreciate the SEO features. I accessed the meta-tags, Head section even with the free subscription. When I launched our blog it was totally ready.
WebWave is a great solution for SEO, brand awareness and conversion improvement.
  • Graphic features.
  • SEO features.
  • Website security.
  • Lack of horizontal Masonry Gallery.
Well suited if you need to create a website that will differentiate you.
