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.

My first contact with WebWave was 10y ago, as free plan subscriber. Then migrated to premium plan and Im still using it - instead of WordPress or Wix. I need a simple website builder but with power to change HTML/JS/CSS when needed. It should be simple and fast. WP was lack of it (before Gutenberg era), Wix was too simple then. Only WebWave meet my expectations.
  • 1st class WYSIWYG - but with code editor when you need it
  • great support (human and docs)
  • great features for agency (billing your customers)
  • well SEO optimized templates code and a lot of integrations with 3rd party apps
  • ecommerce support (you can run your own e-commerce store)
  • mailbox (email) support included
  • more templates for websites categorized by business type
  • more ecommerce functionalities (subscription support, more payment gateways, shipping support)
If you run a company website that needs a simple ecommerce store (simple does not mean ugly or just for 10 products) it should be your first choice. Even if you have no idea about HTML coding or ecommerce workflows. It will fit to your needs. So 95% of companies should use this instead of WP or Wix.
But if you need a complicated website, that need an API "hard-coded" integration, especially with external systems - I would prefer Wordpress/Joomla.

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.

Being a web developer for the last 20+ years and I am still excited about this technology and it’s potential for improving people’s lives, there are many gaps which people like me identify in the current technology such as:

  • Why do we need to buy multiple pieces of hosting, apps, plugins, services and fit it together for a website to run?
  • Why should new people need to learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript to build websites and apps?
  • Why aren’t modern web development languages able to provide them with the full capabilities they need?
  • And (as of today’s available technology) why would I need sections, containers and columns to mimic a Photoshop design?! are not we start essentially with sketch and move to design with Figma or Photoshop and similar apps to visualize the design before moving to development?

With all these points and by being eager to cut-down website development steps, I believe WebWave solves this issue by introducing a new concept in the market, sketch, design and you’re good to go.

Is it good enough? Yes 100%, and I am happy with the company direction & the speed of development since I purchased the license.

Good Luck WebWave
  • Cut-down development phase
  • Intuitive Web App Interface
  • All-In-One Solution
  • Little dynamic content (Blog, E-Commerce) but enough for small and medium size companies
  • Excellent app support
  • Excellent development speed
  • Secure and long life company
  • Website speed
  • Dynamic content
  • More design tool
Creating any website in any niche, it works very well and even their website is built using WebWave. Example: Creating a Saloon website containing Home, Services, About, Contact-Us, Gallery and embedding booking solution like Calendly, followed by some basic e-commerce packages with direct PayPal or Stripe payment.

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.

WebWave allows you to create responsive websites extremely quickly. It's a website builder with a slew of features. It can also act as an eCommerce platform, a blog, or just a simple website. It's got a bunch of features that make it really simple to build a responsive and scalable site.
  • Responsive Web Design
  • Automating Design
  • Templating and Editing
  • Positioning Elements
  • User Interface
  • Icons and Messaging
  • Core Features Like eCommerce
  • Import/Export
  • Integrations
I think it's a great platform if you want to create a quick and easy site. I think it's not the best when it comes to something like eCommerce because a lot of eCommerce functionality has to do with integrating other software which is pretty limited at the moment. I would recommend them to anyone just wanting to build a simple portfolio site or for using a simple e-commerce shop. I don't think they're a full-fledged solution just yet for e-commerce but they're getting there for sure!

WebWave is easy to use and allows me to zero in on every single detail just like I would as a designer in Photoshop, all while remaining within a drag-and-drop editor. Objects can be moved anywhere on the canvas. A website can be designed exactly how you want it to be by positioning and overlapping elements precisely. I can create animations using animated themes such as fly, fade, expand, fold, and reveal. I save a lot of time with WebWave with so many choices of templates that I can start with easily and provide my clients with professionally custom-designed websites.
  • Zero code solution
  • Lots of templates
  • E-commerce ready
  • Domain mailboxes
  • Offer sale of products on subscriptions
  • Able to create a marketplace
  • Marketplace of add-on solutions
Quick set up for e-commerce stores, basic websites, and portfolio websites.

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.

Building websites demands speed nowadays to stay competitive. Clients of course demand beauty and quick turnaround. WebWave allows me to do one thing without leaving the other. I'm a simple man; if my clients are happy, I'm happy. As long as WebWave continues to hit the mark, they have a customer here.
  • Easy editing of headers, size, type, font etc
  • Easy editing of images, add image, replace image etc.
  • Easy editing of elements, change color, change corner radius, etc
  • Would like to see native chatbot
  • Would like to see native email solution
  • Would like to see native complex forms
I think WebWave is excellent to build static websites. I wouldn't use it for e-commerce. Will it replace WordPress? Probably not, but, combined with the right tools it makes for great lead generation websites, landing pages, local business websites, personal websites, organizational websites, etc. I would not use it for scenarios where databases are involved.

WebWave is replacing Webflow in our process because it offers a white-labeled solution. Although it's not as powerful as Webflow, this white-labeling capability is a valuable driver for sales and increases our brand equity since clients are forced to use "our platform" to manage their website. We have a similar process for WordPress, but we rely on many plugins, while WebWave is straightforward.
  • Responsive design
  • clean UI to edit web properties
  • White labeling platform
  • third party integrations
  • advanced funnel building
  • marketing automation
WebWave is perfect for small/mid-sized, temporary, low-traffic, and relatively low-complexity projects. It really shines in these fields, and the Whitelabel let you increase the equity of your brand, so it's perfect for agencies that want to scale rapidly with a structured process. It's not ideal for websites that need advanced functionalities (faceted navigation, customization for e-commerce, funnel building, marketing automation...) and a lot of third-party integrations, but I hope that one day they'll excel in these fields too!

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.
