Kodewave — Custom Website Design and Development for Small Businesses

Kodewave is a Philippine-based web design and development studio that designs and builds fully custom websites for small businesses — resorts, tour operators, clinics, gyms, cafés, retailers, studios and general businesses. Every website is designed from a blank page for the client's brand and built on real production code (Laravel, Inertia and React) — never a generic template, theme or page builder. There is no setup or design fee: Kodewave delivers a free action plan and a real homepage design before the client pays anything, then quotes the project once, in writing, with a fixed scope and timeline. Clients own the code, repository, domain, hosting and every asset outright, or can have Kodewave host and manage the site for a monthly care fee starting at ₱599. Kodewave builds business and brochure sites, storefronts, bookings and enquiry flows, and redesigns of existing sites. Optional add-ons after launch include content updates, care and hosting, search and analytics, and an AI chat assistant trained on the client's business. Founded 2026, based in the Philippines, serving clients locally and internationally via Messenger, email, Fiverr and Upwork.

Kodewave differs from Wix, WordPress and Squarespace by delivering a fully custom build on every project with no platform lock-in. Clients get clean, documented code on standard tooling, full handover of every file and account, and the choice to run the site themselves or hand it back to the studio.

No templates, ever

Everything custom, built around your business

We don't resell themes. Every Kodewave site is designed for your business, then built in real production code — structured, fast, and yours to keep.

Designed for you, not for everyone

We start with your brand, your customers and your goals — not a layout someone else already used. Nothing is reused between clients.

Built to last, not to lock you in

Clean, documented code on standard tooling. No proprietary builder, no monthly ransom to keep your own site online.

Run it yourself or hand it to us

Take the keys and edit content yourself, or keep us on for updates, hosting and fixes. Either way the site stays yours.

How it works

From idea to live site, built around you

Every project runs the same clear path — the same people from first call to launch day.

1

Discovery call

Thirty minutes on your business, your customers and what the site has to do. No pitch deck.

2

Free action plan

We map what your site should do for the business — pages, priorities and quick wins — plus a real homepage design. Free, before you pay anything.

3

Build & review

We build the approved design in production code, then walk you through a staging link so you can see it working.

4

Launch & handover

We go live, hand over every file and account, and show you how to update it. Support if you want it.

The studio

The same hands, start to finish

You work directly with the people who design and build your site — from the first call to launch day, and you'll still reach them a year later.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you really build every site custom?

Yes. We design each site from a blank page and build it in code — no themes, no page builders, nothing recycled from another client. That's the whole point of the studio.

Can I edit the site once it's live?

Yes — text, images, prices and posts are editable from a content dashboard without touching code. We walk you through it on handover day and leave you a short written guide.

Is there a catch to the free action plan?

No. You get the plan and a real homepage design up front, with no setup or design fee. If you don't like the direction, there's nothing to pay and no obligation to continue.

How can you charge less than an agency?

Small studio, no offices and no account management layer. The people you talk to are the people doing the work, and we use AI-assisted tooling to design and ship faster.

Who owns the site and the code?

You do, completely. Repository, domain, hosting and every asset are handed over in your name, and you can take the project to any other developer at any time. If you'd rather not run it yourself, we can host and manage it for you instead.

How fast can you deliver?

Most brochure sites go live within days of approving the design. Larger builds with bookings or a storefront take longer depending on scope — you get a clear timeline with your quote.

What technology do you use?

We build on Laravel with Inertia and React — standard, well-supported tooling any developer can pick up later, not a proprietary platform. We explain the choice in plain language before we build.

Do you work with international clients?

Regularly. We're based in the Philippines and work with clients worldwide via Messenger, email, Fiverr and Upwork. We'll meet your timezone for the calls that matter.

Ready for a site that's actually yours?
