Overall Satisfaction with WebWave

WebWave is an all in one website tool. The builder is really simple. One should be able to bring their site alive in a day. Also, it has blog and Ecom functionality as well. And hosting is included. So it ties up all things together. I intend to use it to make an independent but similar looking website for each project, a sort of linked portfolio. I also have other websites on WordPress. However, I'm looking at WebWave to replace them as it is robust enough. I really like how fast i can edit the website, which is awesome for static websites (the kind i usually need). WordPress can also be fast and easy, but it has a kind of dated UI. Webwave UI isn't the best but i find it faster. Also, no need of a gazillion plugins here!
  • Web designing--super customizable. It's really like a graphic design tool. Anything on the website can be changed the way you want. WordPress doesn't usually allow it, with its fixed rows and columns set up. But here I found out i could do anything.
  • Simple UX--Part of the reason why the builder works so well is the UX. It's simple but does the job, and you don't have to think too hard to find the buttons.
  • Has all features one would need, including ecommerce. I don't plan on using it yet though (my business doesn't require it) but it's nice to have in case the business grows.
  • Some scope for improvement in UX (colors are not very appealing). It is simple to use but design is a little dated. Especially in the builder section, I'd like to see modern design for buttons and maybe gradients also: as this is where visual motivation is also important
  • Some edits take effect only after pressing OK. That should be eliminated as it's an unnecessary addition. It's also kind of annoying to do that again and again, which can add up to a lot as we do so many small tweaks while building the website.
  • Few things (maybe glitches) in design. The rectangle below the footer was uneditable for me. I spent quite some time trying to figure it out so I'm convinced it's a glitch.
  • Website speed should be increased.
  • Ease of setting up websites directly saves me time
  • Don't have to hire a web designer--saves money (big plus)
  • Hosting is included. And features like ecommerce too. For simple purposes, i may not have to buy another service, another big plus
Only the traditional ones like WordPress with Elementor or WPBakery page builder. It's not an easy comparison. WordPress is the big boss but you have to buy a bunch of services, plugins, other embedded SAAS and such tools to make it work. WebWave, on the other hand, is making all that available in the same package. So, it's nice to have all in one stuff. The risk is that if WebWave is down, everything will go down. On the plus side, this brings costs seriously down. And at the moment the quality of these features also seems robust enough and will likely only improve. So i think it stacks pretty well

Would you buy WebWave again?

Since WebWave has all functionality one would need for a basic website--builder, blog, SEO--one can make any kind of websites one would need. Particularly landing pages. After speed improves, it'd be cool to use it for more robust purposes, like an ecommerce site. Since hosting is included, i think this is suitable for freelancers and portfolio or resume websites also. Although WebWave presents itself as a complete solution for websites, solely because it's new, I'm hesitant to use it for anything big. But that's a personal thing. From what I've seen it really looks like the system can be customized to do whatever you want, it's versatile. Personally I'll be mostly using WebWave for a series of static websites (freelance project portfolios)
