Overall Satisfaction with WebWave
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.
