What do you like best about WebWave?
Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I think I may have just found my new permanent website builder/host.
The strengths are two-fold:
* It's feature rich, and
* It's very price-competitive
Pretty good combination, if you ask me.
Best features:
* A true drag/drop interface with pixel-level specificity. You can literally put anything, anywhere - not common for no-code builders.
* The ability to create layers, as you would in a graphics program. Sure, working in Figma, and then exporting to your hosting service, may offer even more power and flexibility - but Webwave offers it all under one roof (and for one very low cost).
* Full hosting service complete with 20gb email domains. This is HUGE for anyone not interested in shelling out $7.00-$12.00/month/user for a 365 or Google workspace account.
* Low cost. Monthly fees are more than competitive, and with the AppSumo deal, the price is impossible to refuse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about WebWave?
Only small concerns:
* The drag/drop interface is great, but working with each element, getting all the options exactly as you want, does take a bit of work. The controls are good, and the software does a nice job of bringing you to menus you want at the right time. But there are still a good number of settings and controls to wade through. The price you pay for pixel-level control, I imagine. And honestly...it's strengths outweigh it's weaknesses. Just a bit finicky at times.
* Server speed may be a bit slow - possibly due to the underlying drag/drop code, possibly due to their servers being only in Europe. My understanding is they are activating US servers shortly, so hopefully that fixes some of the issue. Again, it's not a huge problem - but if you're looking for blazing fast load times of a very high-level site, you may want to test speeds first to make sure they work for you.
* Low cost. Hardly a concern - just want to make sure they're making enough profit to be around awhile.
* Biggest concern: no API. Yes, they offer certain extras in-house - email marketing, and SEO, for instance. But the inability to integrate with the other tools you use will be an absolute non-starter for many. So hopefully management is listening to this, develops out their APIs soon.
Slight concerns aside, this is a solid product. 9/10 recommendation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
