The panel's verdict

WebWave is a website builder the bench could assess only from a handful of help-centre pages; the one confirmed fact across the vendor's captured pages is a feature named cookies. Its strongest ground is hosting and portability, which reaches the bench's highest single score of 4 on the strength of help pages documenting backup copies and exporting a finished site to an external server. SEO and marketing and forms and business top out at 3 on similar ground — alt descriptions, an SEO analysis tool, a form element and a JotForm connection — and legal compliance ranges 1 to 3. The weakest ground is sovereignty and pricing transparency, both 0 from end to end, with the captured sovereignty attributes reading unknown for jurisdiction, data residency, hosting options and the data processing agreement. The spread from 0 to 4 reflects method more than opinion: three judges declined to rate anything but legal compliance for lack of public information, while the other three scored what the help centre documents, declining only sovereignty and pricing. The flagged splits flag none.

Speaks for it

  • Backup copies and export of a finished site to an external server are documented in the help centre, giving hosting and portability the bench's top score of 4.
  • A form element is documented, with a separate help page on connecting JotForm for advanced forms.
  • Help pages cover adding alt descriptions to images and running an SEO analysis on a site.
  • The captured pages show a visual builder in which elements are added to pages — a real editor rather than a file host.
  • The vendor runs its own cookies page and privacy policy, and a data processing agreement page was captured.

Report an error

Held against it

  • The one confirmed fact across the vendor's captured pages is a feature named cookies.
  • We found no public information on templates, mobile layouts, additional languages or roles for collaborators.
  • We found no public information on hosting arrangements, custom domains, SSL, or where sites and form entries are stored.
  • The captured sovereignty attributes list the contracting entity's jurisdiction, data residency and hosting options as unknown.
  • No plan price, renewal or term appears on the captured homepage, so a second-year cost cannot be computed from public pages.

Report an error

Best for

  • You want the option to move on — documented backup copies and export of the finished site to an external server earned hosting and portability the bench's top score.
  • You need a basic enquiry form, with JotForm documented for anything more advanced.
  • You want built-in on-page checks, since alt descriptions and an SEO analysis on the site are documented.
  • You are prepared to confirm hosting, compliance and pricing with the vendor directly, buying on help-centre-level documentation.

Report an error

Avoid if

  • You must keep visitor data in Europe — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it
  • Your business runs on online booking or payments — the documented form features stop at a form element and a JotForm connection.
  • You need consent handling that blocks scripts until agreed, or help with imprint texts — the only confirmed compliance item is a feature named cookies.

The scores

Too little public evidence to rate — fewer than 1 captured source or 3 proven facts — so no star rating is shown. The panel's reasoning is below.

Editor, templates & design control

Show reasoning
How this is scored

How a site gets built and how far the owner can shape it: the editor (drag and drop, sections, AI drafts), the template range, responsive and mobile editing, fonts and brand styles, multilingual pages, custom code, and roles for collaborators or clients.

0 — Not a website editor; the product hosts files or code that are built elsewhere.

3 — An editor with a small set of templates and fixed layouts, where colours and texts change but structure, mobile view and languages are not described.

5 — A visual editor with a template gallery for several industries, layouts that adapt to mobile, brand colours and fonts, a blog, and the option to add pages in a second language or custom code snippets.

8 — Fine design control documented: free layout or section editing, separate mobile and breakpoint editing, reusable components or global styles, built-in multilingual sites with translated URLs, user roles for collaborators or clients, and site versions or history that can be restored.

10 — Design work at a professional level without leaving the tool: a design system with variables and components, interactions and animations, a CMS with custom collections, staging or branching before publishing, client handover with restricted editing, and the editor documented in depth.

Report an error

The Small-Business Owner

The captured help pages show a website builder where elements are placed on the page, and a cookies element is confirmed among them, so there is a real editor here rather than somewhere else to build files. We found no public information on templates, mobile views, a second language, custom code or working with colleagues, so I can't tell whether my site would end up looking like a craftsman or like a start-up. 3 4

Report an error

The Freelance Web Designer

The captured help pages show a visual website builder in which elements are added to pages, so this is a real editor rather than a file host. I found no public information on templates, separate mobile editing, fonts and brand styles, reusable sections, multilingual pages or roles for clients and collaborators — the things I judge a builder on before taking on a client site. 3 4

Report an error

The Marketing Lead

The help centre documents a website builder in which elements are added to a page, and we found no public information on template ranges, mobile layouts, additional languages, custom code or roles for collaborators. That is thinner documentation than I would want before trusting landing pages to it. 3 4

Report an error

The Practice Owner not rated — no public information

We found no public information on the editor itself, the template range, mobile editing or design control. I read the help pages on using the builder and adding elements, and they gave me no details to go on, so I cannot judge how a site would be shaped for my practice. 3 4

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer not rated — no public information

I found no public information on the editor, template range, mobile editing, multilingual pages or collaborator roles in the pages captured for this assessment, so no level of design control can be placed from the evidence. 3 4

Report an error

The Skeptic not rated — no public information

We found no public information on the editor, templates or design control. Of the two help pages captured on building a site and adding elements, the only confirmed item is a feature named cookies, with nothing on layouts, mobile views, languages, fonts or collaborator roles. 3 4

Hosting, domains & portability

Show reasoning
How this is scored

What runs the site once it is built: included hosting, custom domains and domain registration, SSL, email mailboxes, speed (CDN, image optimisation), backups and restore, availability commitments — and whether pages, content and media can be exported when the owner moves on.

0 — No hosting; the product produces a design or files and the owner finds a host.

3 — Hosting on a subdomain with a custom domain on paid plans, but SSL, backups, storage limits and export are not described.

5 — Hosting included with a custom domain (or one included for a first year), free SSL, stated storage or bandwidth, a CDN or speed optimisation, automatic backups or a restore function, and an export of at least blog posts or content.

8 — Hosting described in depth: data-centre locations named, a stated uptime commitment, versioned backups with self-service restore, email mailboxes on the own domain, performance figures or Core Web Vitals addressed, and a documented export of pages, content and media.

10 — Hosting the owner can rely on and leave: an uptime SLA with credits, the hosting region selectable, DDoS and security measures named, a complete site export (code or standard formats) documented step by step, and domains transferable without fees or lock-in.

The Small-Business Owner

The help centre documents backup copies of a site and exporting the finished site to an external server, which tells me the Sunday-afternoon work would not be trapped if I ever moved on. We found no public information on hosting itself, custom domains, SSL, storage limits or any uptime promise. 5 6

Report an error

The Freelance Web Designer

Two help pages speak directly to my priorities: one on exporting a finished website to an external server, and one on backup copies and how to use them. Beyond those, I found no public information on included hosting, custom domains, SSL, storage or bandwidth, or any availability commitment, so I cannot place the running of client sites any higher. 5 6

Report an error

The Marketing Lead

Help articles describe backup copies and exporting the finished site to an external server, so restore and portability are documented at a basic level. We found no public information on hosting arrangements, custom domains, SSL, data-centre locations or availability commitments. 5 6

Report an error

The Practice Owner not rated — no public information

We found no public information on hosting, custom domains, SSL, backups or export of the site. I read the help pages on backup copies and on exporting a site to an external server, but they gave no quotable detail on what a customer actually receives. 5 6

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer not rated — no public information

I found no public information confirming where sites are hosted, the SSL arrangements, backups, uptime commitments or export of content and media; no infrastructure provider is named that I could file for a client. 5 6

The Skeptic not rated — no public information

We found no public information on hosting, domains, SSL, backups or export. Help pages on exporting a site to an external server and on backup copies were captured, but nothing was confirmed about storage, restore, uptime or what an export actually produces — the questions that decide what leaving costs. 5 6

SEO, analytics & visibility

Show reasoning
How this is scored

How the site is found and measured: page titles and descriptions, clean URLs and redirects, sitemaps and indexing, structured data, local SEO, page speed for search, built-in or connectable analytics, newsletter or social sharing, and guidance for the owner who is not an SEO.

0 — No search settings at all; pages cannot be given titles or descriptions.

3 — Page titles and descriptions can be edited, but sitemaps, redirects, analytics and indexing control are not described.

5 — Editable titles, descriptions and URLs, an automatic sitemap, 301 redirects, social sharing previews, built-in visitor statistics or a documented connection to an analytics tool, and SEO guidance or a checklist inside the product.

8 — SEO documented in depth: structured data, canonical and noindex control, robots.txt editing, image alt texts and compression, local business listings or a Google Business connection, multilingual SEO with hreflang, and privacy-friendly analytics without third-party cookies.

10 — Visibility as a strength: full technical SEO control including server-side rendering and speed figures, AI search or answer-engine readiness addressed, search data shown inside the editor, marketing tools (newsletter, campaigns, A/B tests) built in, and every setting explained in the help centre.

Report an error

The Small-Business Owner

The help centre covers adding alt descriptions to images and running an SEO analysis on a site, so some search settings exist. We found no public information on page titles and descriptions, sitemaps, redirects or visitor statistics — and being found when someone nearby searches for a carpenter is the whole point of the site. 7 8

Help pages document adding SEO image descriptions (alt texts) and running an SEO analysis on a website, which is basic on-page SEO with some built-in checking. I found no public information on editable titles, descriptions and URLs, redirects, sitemaps or visitor statistics. 7 8

Forms, bookings & business features

Show reasoning
How this is scored

What the site does for the business beyond showing pages: contact and custom forms with spam protection and notifications, where form entries are stored, appointment bookings, member areas, events, integrations with CRM or calendar, payments and a small shop as an add-on — judged as features of a website, not as a shop system.

0 — No forms and no interactive features; the site shows pages only.

3 — A contact form that sends an email, with spam protection, storage of entries and further business features not described.

5 — Custom forms with several field types, spam protection and email notifications, entries stored or exportable, and at least one further business feature (bookings, member area, events or a small shop) described.

8 — Business features documented in depth: forms with conditional fields, file uploads and confirmation emails, appointment booking with calendar sync, member areas or gated pages, payments, integrations with named CRM, newsletter or automation tools, and an app or extension marketplace.

10 — The site runs a small business: forms, bookings, payments, invoices or memberships work together with consent and data retention settings per form, an API or webhooks for form data, and a documented integration ecosystem — while the shop stays one feature among several.

Report an error

The Small-Business Owner

A form feature is documented in the help centre, with a separate page on JotForm for advanced forms, so an enquiry form looks possible. We found no public information on spam protection, where form entries are stored, email notifications, bookings or payments — and an enquiry that lands in my inbox is the one thing the site must do. 9 10

Report an error

The Freelance Web Designer

One help page documents a form feature and another covers connecting JotForm for advanced forms, so a site can collect visitor input and reach more complex forms through an outside service. I found no public information on spam protection, email notifications, where entries are stored, bookings, member areas or payments. 9 10

Report an error

The Marketing Lead

A form element is documented, along with an article on connecting JotForm for advanced forms. We found no public information on spam protection, notifications, where entries are stored, bookings, payments or CRM connections — for me the difference between enquiries reaching a system and a shared mailbox. 9 10

The Practice Owner not rated — no public information

European sovereignty panel opinion

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where the sites, the form entries and the visitor data are hosted, and who the subprocessors are (hosting, CDN, email delivery, analytics, payments, AI features). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; the data subjects here are the owner's own visitors and customers, so the whole chain counts, not only the editor.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no data processing agreement offered.

3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the subprocessors are not listed.

5 — EU hosting available or an EU contracting entity, a data processing agreement offered, but parts of the chain (CDN, email, analytics, AI features, support) run through non-EU providers or the subprocessors are listed without locations.

8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessors listed with their locations, a data processing agreement published, and security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2) stated.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor, data export and deletion documented, and certifications published with their scope rather than implied.

The contracting entity's jurisdiction, hosting location and every subprocessor are unrecorded on the pages I reviewed, and I found no public information on where sites, form entries and visitor data are hosted.

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real cost over two or three years from public pages alone: the monthly price per plan, the introductory price and how long it lasts, the renewal price after it, setup fees, minimum term and notice, domain and mailbox renewals, transaction fees on sales, and which features (ad removal, extra languages, bookings, more storage) cost extra.

0 — No public prices at all; every customer is a sales call.

3 — A starting price or a free plan is shown, but what the plans include, what they cost after the first term or how the cost scales is unclear.

5 — Plans are public with prices and their main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (the price after an introductory offer, domain renewal, a mailbox, transaction fees, an add-on) is unpriced or hard to find.

8 — Every plan priced publicly with the introductory price, its duration and the regular price after it, setup fee, minimum term and notice period, domain and add-on prices listed, and VAT treatment stated.

10 — Complete price computability: the cost of a given site over several years derivable from public pages, with every add-on, renewal, transaction and support fee, the cancellation terms and what happens to the site and domain after cancellation published.
