Rob Marshall from Pxl8 Designs talks about using WebWave White Label for his business in Australia
At WebWave, we are passionate about supporting freelance designers and small business owners in achieving their web design goals.
Recently, Chari from our team had an insightful conversation with Rob Marshall a talented freelance designer based on Kangaroo Island Australia. The interview provided valuable information about his business Pxl8 Designs, why he chose WebWave, and how the platform assists him in delivering exceptional design work to his clients. Here’s a summary of our discussion.
Meet the Designer
Rob Marshall, a dedicated freelance website and graphic designer, primarily serves clients on Kangaroo Island, a short 45 minute ferry ride from Cape Jervis in South Australia. While balancing a full-time job as a laundry manager, he utilises WebWave to build websites that meet his clients' needs and aesthetic preferences.
Choosing WebWave
Many of you might wonder why a designer would prefer WebWave over other popular website builders. Rob explained that WebWave’s platform aligns perfectly with his workflow. Having experience with various platforms such as Wix and WordPress, he found WebWave's intuitive nature and seamless integration with graphic design tools to be a superior fit for his design process. He was seeking a builder that was not as cluttered or slow as others and discovered that WebWave's smoother and more straightforward user interface significantly enhanced his productivity.
Ease of Use
For someone already familiar with graphic design software, transitioning to WebWave was remarkably simple. Rob noted that if you've used any image editing software, you should find WebWave easy to navigate. He emphasised that the platform's intuitive design made it easier for him to achieve the level of detail and accuracy required in his projects.
Favourite Features
One of Robs' favourite aspects of WebWave is the artistic freedom it offers. Unlike other platforms where designers might feel boxed in, WebWave allows for more manipulation akin to a design layout. This flexibility is crucial when clients request changes – making the process much less restrictive.
Moreover, he appreciates the platform's simplicity and how it eases the transition for his non-computer-savvy clients. They find it easier to manage and update their own websites, which is a significant benefit.
Customer Support
Customer support can make or break a designer’s experience with a platform. Rob had nothing but praise for WebWave's support team, highlighting their prompt and helpful responses. He particularly appreciates the availability of support during different times of the day, which suits those juggling multiple responsibilities.
Advice for New Users
For those new to WebWave, his advice is to start simple. Over complicating the process from the get-go can lead to confusion and clutter. He suggests mastering the essential elements before moving on to more complex tasks. Additionally, he emphasises the importance of mobile optimisation in the design process.
Desired Improvements
While satisfied with WebWave overall, Rob mentioned a few areas for enhancement. He would like to see continued development of the shopping cart functionality, more style and animation options, and increased back-end capabilities like DNS management (at least for Agency subscribers). These improvements would enable designers to offer a more personalised and functional experience for their clients.
