Chose ManageWP
ManageWP is the only website management product that we have used.
Chose ManageWP
I'm not sure there are other free options in this space. I haven't heard of any.
Chose ManageWP
Jetpack is going to be a contender in the future, however, at this point in time they are missing some features that ManageWP includes and does very well. These include automatic backups and a robust migration module. Though the UI in Jetpack is a little cleaner and prettier, …
Chose ManageWP
ManageWP is definitely the best in class product for WordPress website management. There are other tools such as InfiniteWP that do similar things, but don't have as complete an offering. Other options like WPEngine are also for hosting and we are not interested in that …
Chose ManageWP
Prior to ManageWP, we utilized InfiniteWP, a free (with paid extensions), self-hosted alternative. We found the interface to be unwieldy, and the paid extension pricing to be a bit confusing. The headache of maintaining the software and server infrastructure to run the …

Chose WebWave
Fast load times: WebWave's websites have fast load times, which is critical for ensuring a positive user experience and better SEO performance.
Responsive design: WebWave's websites are optimized for mobile devices, ensuring that they look great and function well on any screen …
Chose WebWave
price, ease of use, and using a notes system with the client over the top of the page are all improvements against WebFlow
Chose WebWave
It is compatible with many WordPress plugins and offers many more possibilities than google sites, Wix, or similar builders. It is a WordPress as easy to use as Microsoft Word.
Chose WebWave
WebWave is easy, the sites are stunning, and I don't have to pay an arm and a leg for it. Usually, there is a drop in customizability using WordPress. But WebWave allows a great site and an incredible price. For that reason, I'm leaving a great platform in WordPress and jumping …
Chose WebWave
Due to WebWave's innovative and intuitive layer-based design system, it is infinitely more user-friendly than both Webflow and WordPress. Webflow's websites feel lighter and faster, but I'm sure WebWave will address this as they mature. Webflow's animation features are also …
Chose WebWave
Simply easy to use, all in one solution (management portal, design, development and email solution)
Chose WebWave
Only the traditional ones like WordPress with Elementor or WPBakery page builder. It's not an easy comparison. WordPress is the big boss but you have to buy a bunch of services, plugins, other embedded SAAS and such tools to make it work. WebWave, on the other hand, is making …
Chose WebWave
Easy to use and user-friendly. Nice interface.
Chose WebWave
In terms of flexibility and functionalities, WebWave falls behind Webflow. However, practically anyone with a basic understanding of web development or who can use a word processor will be able to teach themselves how to utilize WebWave. Webflow, on the other hand, is far more …
Chose WebWave
It's an easier, super complete option and cheaper Instead of paying everything separately like Wix, this option gives you all for a good price. And is the same with Elementor, you need to pay their license, the hosting, the domain, and connect everything manually, but this …
Chose WebWave
Most Wix and WebWave have the same features as well as their distinctions. They are pretty good on their own functionality. They have their own functionality. From the pricing perspective, WebWave is slightly ahead of Wix. The pricing of Wix is a bit more than WebWave. So, if I …
Chose WebWave
WordPress is a great product but I need to figure out hosting myself, also I need to make sure the theme I am using is mobile friendly.
We WebWave, I don't need to worry about any of those and the drag and drop builder is very easy to get familiar with.
Chose WebWave
With WebWave, the builder and hosting are in one platform. No more efforts to update the plugins and themes as in WordPress.
Chose WebWave
Wordpress is a more flexible and adaptive content management system than Webwave. In addition to the functionalities that are already built-in, I am unable to add any customizable plugins or add-ons. However, in the majority of cases, the inherent features of Webwave are …
Chose WebWave
WebWave is fairly easy to use. For novice users, it is easier to use than WordPress or Shopify. I think WebWave will be more SEO friendly than Wix. The price is affordable for small businesses/clients as well. The template system is much easier and takes less time than …
Chose WebWave
web starts, Convertri Pro, and other alternatives Webstarts has a lot of issues with mobile view. U have to rearrange almost everything again. WebWave on the other hand lets u group and save so that don't have this problem. Also, animations work as they should same with …
Chose WebWave
WebWave stacks up well with other website builders. Especially the all-in-one types. It does things well and things make sense when it comes to editing. There are a lot of options to help you get things the way you want. I like how it can grow with the users. I feel the …
Chose WebWave
To each their own of course but I'll say this: ClickFunnels is too narrow. Webflow is ok. WordPress has too many security issues. WebWave just works.

The WYSIWYG web builder marketspace is saturated, but there
are not many solutions out there that eschew table-based design in favor of letting
creators build sites where anything goes wherever you want. You’ll likely want
to skip this product if you need a plug-and-play solution where everything is
automatically responsively. However, if you have an eye for design, love
creative control, and like to sweat the details until you have made the perfect
website, WebWave is a must buy.

Pros
  • ManageWP consolidates important WordPress site management services into on dashboard.
  • ManageWP makes backing up, cloning, and restoring websites so easy.
  • ManageWP provides a simple, easy to use interface.

  • WebWave's site builder is the platform's truly innovative feature. I've never come across another service that deploys a layer-based approach in web design, as most of them usually deploy a grid-based system. This is an incredible alteration that ensures WebWave behaves much like a traditional graphic design tool, thereby resulting in an experience that is a lot more intuitive and instinctive. I believe this has the potential to radically change the way people approach no-code web design.
  • WebWave provides automatic, daily backups and a free SSL certificate for every website. This results in excellent security.
  • WebWave's support team is first-class! I had some teething-issues in the beginning, but the support team quickly got me back on track.
  • WebWave's community/forum is an excellent place to vote and request new features. This proves the development team is committed to making WebWave better by listening to their users.

Cons
  • The reports could be prettier, more templates in order to avoid having to customize for each client so heavily.
  • It would be nice to see if recommended plugin updates are actually production and not beta versions.
Read full review
  • Some scope for improvement in UX (colors are not very appealing). It is simple to use but design is a little dated. Especially in the builder section, I'd like to see modern design for buttons and maybe gradients also: as this is where visual motivation is also important
  • Some edits take effect only after pressing OK. That should be eliminated as it's an unnecessary addition. It's also kind of annoying to do that again and again, which can add up to a lot as we do so many small tweaks while building the website.
  • Few things (maybe glitches) in design. The rectangle below the footer was uneditable for me. I spent quite some time trying to figure it out so I'm convinced it's a glitch.
  • Website speed should be increased.

Usability
It's very straightforward for basic use, but less you dig in more for advanced use. Seems like it would be approachable to the average person.

1. The support person does not seem to understand the issues, and seems like they go off to talk to somebody and revert back every 5 to 10 minutes. It takes up a lot of time. 2. There is a lack of reading material to address simple issues like changing the website name in the dashboard, pasting a code, etc.

Fast load times: WebWave's websites have fast load times, which is critical for ensuring a positive user experience and better SEO performance. Responsive design: WebWave's websites are optimized for mobile devices, ensuring that they look great and function well on any screen size. Wix simply just doesn't have that and I was really struggling with this issue. Cost-effective: WebWave's pricing plans are affordable and provide excellent value for money, making it a cost-effective option for small businesses and entrepreneurs.

  • 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
