ISO · SCALE 1:1FIG — WEB DEVELOPMENT

Wave18 is a UK-based studio that provides AI-powered web development for ambitious businesses across the UK and Europe. We design and build custom websites, web applications, eCommerce stores and AI-driven features — chatbots, recommendations, automation and analytics — as one accountable team, so nothing is lost between hand-offs. Projects start from a fixed price of £5,000, follow a clear four-step process — discover, design, build, scale — and ship on a static-first architecture built for performance, WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility, and support for six languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch and Italian) from day one. The result is a website or application engineered to grow with the business it serves, with our sister agency Ripple18 on hand to grow traffic and search visibility once you're live.
