Overall Satisfaction with WebWave

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.
  • It can reduce time for making quick landing pages easily.
  • Integration of Google Ads and GA.
  • Lead forms that are simple to integrate.
  • Internal analytics.
  • It can save time when creating fast landing pages.
  • Simple but easy to use store feature, but only with Stripe.
  • This has easier ROI in terms of GTM - Faster to deploy means it will cut down the cost of development, and a marketer can take advantage of this.
  • This is also appropriate for tiny businesses or home businesses that lack the resources to create simple websites or lead generation forms. Also useful if you want to sell your own product but don't want to go through complicated learning and implementation procedure.
In terms of flexibility and functionalities, WebWave falls behind Webflow. However, practically anyone with a basic understanding of web development or who can use a word processor will be able to teach themselves how to utilize WebWave. Webflow, on the other hand, is far more powerful and capable. It is much more expensive and takes nearly 80% of the time to completely educate a person in JS, CSS, and general web development skills.

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.
