How Graphic Designers Are Providing Affordable Website Solutions Using WebWave
Getting your business online is inevitable for many small business owners in Australia. Being able to offer an affordable solution as a small website designer can be harder.
Bobbie-Jo Designs, a rural graphic design agency based in Australia, faced this challenge head-on. Recently, Bobbie-Jo turned to the WebWave platform to create a website for her client, Tiny Sleepers Sleep Consultant. In this interview, she shares her experience and insights on using WebWave, highlighting how it has transformed her approach to web design.
Q: Can you tell us a bit about your business and how you use WebWave?
A: I work remotely with clients from all around Australia, providing a range of graphic design services, including logo designs, website designs, and impactful branding solutions tailored to the unique needs of businesses. My approach is understanding each client's vision and goals, ensuring that the final design effectively communicates their brand's identity and values.
Recently, I had a client searching for an affordable yet high-quality website solution. After evaluating her needs and budget, I offered her two platform options I believed could meet her requirements. Ultimately, she chose WebWave due to its cost-effectiveness and user-friendly features. The experience with WebWave was exceptionally positive, exceeding both my client's and my own expectations.
This project highlighted WebWave's capabilities in delivering professional and attractive websites without the hefty price tag associated with many other platforms. As a result, I have decided to integrate WebWave into my business, using it as my go-to platform for designing websites. This decision allows me to offer my clients affordable, high-quality web design services, helping them establish a solid online presence without breaking the bank.
Q: Why did you choose WebWave over other website builders?
A: I chose WebWave primarily because of its cost-effectiveness and a strong recommendation from a trusted friend. Its affordability made it a desirable option for my client's budget. Compared to other platforms, it saved her a significant amount of money on the annual subscription and eliminated additional costs associated with processing fees. This was particularly important because she wanted her clients to be able to book appointments online seamlessly, and WebWave's shop feature allowed for this without any hidden charges or extra fees.
Additionally, hearing positive feedback from a trusted source gave me the confidence to try WebWave for the first time. My friend spoke highly of its functionality, ease of use, and robust features, reassuring me that it would meet my client's needs.
Q: How easy or difficult was it to get started with WebWave? Can you describe your experience?
A: Getting started with WebWave was remarkably simple and user-friendly. As I have a graphic design background, it was easy to pick up how the tool worked and wrap my head around the layering system. My client wanted to do some of the design herself and started from a template. She said it was user-friendly, especially for someone who has no idea where to start.
I also appreciated that I could start using the tool for free, which was a massive advantage for me and my client. This feature allowed us to dive into the website-building process without any upfront costs or financial commitments. We could fully design and develop the website, experimenting with different layouts and features before spending a single cent. This flexibility was particularly beneficial for my client, who could see the website taking shape and make informed decisions without worrying about initial expenses.
Once the website was fully built and we were satisfied with the results, my client was able to make the payment and seamlessly link the website to her own domain. This approach of building first and paying later removed a lot of pressure and allowed us to focus purely on the creative aspects of the design process. It also gave my client the peace of mind that her investment was going towards a product she was completely happy with.
Q: What specific features of WebWave do you find most beneficial for your business?
A: The WebWave Shop was a fantastic bonus to my experience with the platform. Setting it up was a breeze, and linking it to a Stripe account was equally straightforward. The process was seamless, and I can easily see the potential for future use, especially for selling digital products. The shop feature allows for automatic delivery of digital products to customers, which is a huge time-saver and adds a level of convenience that is hard to beat.
Another feature that I absolutely love is the AI integration within the website-building tool. The assistance it provides in writing copy is impressive. It’s like having a built-in content writer at your disposal, significantly easing the burden of crafting engaging and effective website content. I’m particularly excited to explore the AI website builder tool further, as I believe it will streamline the design process even more and help create stunning websites with minimal effort.
Additionally, WebWave offers the ability to provide clients with their own email addresses at no extra cost. This was a massive hit with my client, who was thrilled to have a professional email address without additional expenses. It added professionalism to her business communications and enhanced her overall satisfaction with the service.

Q: What do you appreciate most about the design flexibility and customisation options in WebWave?
A: What I appreciate most about WebWave is the ease of its drag-and-drop interface, and the extensive customisation features it offers. The drag-and-drop functionality makes the design process incredibly intuitive, allowing me to move elements around the page precisely and efficiently. This user-friendly approach saves significant time and reduces the complexity often associated with web design, enabling me to focus more on creativity rather than technical details.
The extensive customisation features are another standout aspect of WebWave. These tools allow me to create unique, tailor-made designs effortlessly. Whether I need to adjust the layout, change colour schemes, or add custom graphics, WebWave provides the flexibility to do it all. The ability to customise elements freely ensures that each website I create meets my client's specific needs and preferences, perfectly reflecting their brand identity and vision.
Q: Have you needed to use WebWave’s customer support? If so, how was your experience?
A: Yes, I did need to use WebWave’s customer support while setting up the email account. The support team was incredibly friendly and resolved the issue promptly. I was also impressed that the support person was not just in the same country as me but in the state as well. And I’ll also add that it was nice to speak to an actual person and not just a bot. It's reassuring to know that reliable support is available for both myself and my clients whenever needed, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.
Q: What advice would you give someone considering WebWave for their website needs?
A: If you’re looking for a cost-effective solution for your small business that allows quick delivery, I highly recommend WebWave. Its affordability and ease of use make it an excellent choice for creating professional websites efficiently. It is suitable for small businesses just getting started and larger, more established businesses. Even web design businesses can benefit from its fantastic white-label features, which I’ll be looking into in the future. WebWave's versatility and comprehensive set of tools cater to a wide range of needs, making it a valuable asset for any business looking to establish or enhance its online presence. I’ll be recommending it to all my clients!
