Overall Satisfaction with WebWave

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.

Pros

  • 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

Cons

  • more templates for websites categorized by business type
  • more ecommerce functionalities (subscription support, more payment gateways, shipping support)
  • saved 30 hours per year per site (previously I had to manually run updates and check if everything is fine)
  • earns money for me without a touch (thanks to automatic billing of my customers for hosting and support) - additional (ca.) 120 USD per year per site
  • no negatives so far
  • Easy of use
  • Great support
  • SEO optimized templates
  • No need to worry about updates (Wix has the same as hosted platform)
  • Email (mailbox) handling (Wix has the same as hosted platform but with extra fee)

Yes

Yes

Would you buy WebWave again?

Yes

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.

    Thank you for your honest opinion. In fact, these are one of our main goals now - creating more new, modern templates and developing ecommerce solutions. First results of working on ecommerce should be visible on the beginning of 2023 :)
