webwave Review, Pricing & Features

WebWave is a browser-based website builder founded in 2011 by a team of students in Warsaw, Poland, who began building the platform from a store's back office before launching a public beta in November 2013. The company has since grown into a roughly 25-person team with a second office in Australia (opened 2020) and reports having served between roughly 550,000 and 610,000+ users across Polish, Romanian, and English-language markets. The core product is a visual, drag-and-drop site editor that WebWave positions as giving 'unlimited creative control,' more like a graphic-design tool than a rigid, block-based template system. Users can start a site in three ways: by generating one with AI from a text description, by customizing one of WebWave's free templates, or by building from a blank page. The editor supports pixel-accurate positioning with rulers and snapping, responsive breakpoints for desktop, tablet, mobile-landscape, and mobile-portrait views, and interaction features such as show/hide-on-click, scroll-based element behavior, hover effects, parallax and Ken Burns animation effects, animated sliders, and image galleries. Beyond page design, WebWave includes a built-in SEO analyzer, a free SSL certificate, custom domain registration with a free .com domain in the first year on paid plans, professional email mailboxes, a blog feature, and an online store that WebWave advertises as carrying no transaction fees or commissions. The platform also offers a white-label option aimed at freelancers and web design agencies that want to resell WebWave under their own brand. New users get a 14-day free trial with full access to the editor, 100+ templates, and the AI website builder, with no credit card required; trial sites are published on a webwave.me subdomain and are deactivated (not deleted) if the trial ends without upgrading to a paid plan.
