My main use case for WebWave is building small businesses' websites that don't change much at NetGeek. I built a site for a boutique hotel, Pałac Cieleśnica, using WebWave. WebWave is the best for small, very simple sites that don't need to be changed much.
Dated software, needs a major redesign, but has enabled quick setup of simple small business websites
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Very low hosting costs.
What is most valuable?
The best features WebWave offers are hosting and the visual builder. Hosting means that the page is hosted for you automatically, and I appreciate the visual builder for clients that want to change or add something on the site themselves.
WebWave has positively impacted my organization as I was able to spin up a fast website in a few hours. The speed of setup helps my workflow and my clients because I have an unlimited license, so hosting is free forever.
What needs improvement?
WebWave can be improved in many ways because the visual builder has a lot of problems with consistency between desktop, tablet, and mobile views. There are no real components to reuse on the sites to maintain consistency. The output code is not very clear, and the UI and UX are dated. It would need a big refresh or redesign, and analytics cannot be implemented perfectly.
The main point would be a clearer DOM structure for better performance and better SEO, as well as an overhaul of the whole builder. WebWave is generally dated and it needs an overhaul to stay competitive.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using WebWave for four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In my experience, WebWave is generaly stable. Small problems with email deliverability and builder slowness.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
WebWave does not handle growth or more complex sites well in terms of scalability.
How are customer service and support?
I think customer support is adequate.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
