Wonderwave

What Wonderwave does

Wonderwave AS is a privately held Norwegian design and development studio incorporated in Oslo (company registration NO 929 635 450 MVA) that sells subscription-based Design & Development as a Service. The company offers two publicly priced plans: an All-Inclusive subscription at kr 19,990/month providing unlimited design and development requests, unlimited revisions, a dedicated Project Manager, and daily progress reports; and a Maintenance subscription at kr 3,990/month for ongoing bug fixes, plugin updates, security patches, and content updates. Service delivery is operationalized through Asana-based task boards with custom request forms, supported by a curated global talent network that has reportedly delivered 5,000+ tasks and 100+ projects across 16 named Norwegian SMB clients including The Balloon Company AS, Ren Delicia, Kakle AS, Denarius AS, Bare Filter AS, and The People Company.

The underlying platform architecture combines a four-stage talent vetting funnel (Portfolio & Interview at 60%, Test Task at 20%, Community Review at 5%, Leadership Approval at 1%) with project management built on Asana, where every subscription includes a dedicated Project Manager. Service scope spans UI/UX design, web and app development, WooCommerce and e-commerce implementation, video and animation, SEO, hosting, and an extensive integration catalog covering CRM (Hubspot), marketing automation (Klaviyo, MailChimp, ActiveCampaign), chatbot platforms (ManyChat, Chatfuel, Landbot), A/B testing (VWO, Hypertune.ai), visitor identification (Albacross, Leadfeeder), and security tooling (Wordfence, Sucuri). GDPR compliance with Norwegian data protection law is documented across the firm's privacy and service policies.

The business model is sales-led with a direct website subscription channel supplemented by Calendly-based discovery calls for larger prospects, a 5-day free trial, and a 100% satisfaction guarantee. The go-to-market targets agencies, marketing teams, and scaling companies rather than end-consumer SMBs, with the Maintenance tier serving as a lower-ACV entry point. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent entity, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity, and operates with a headcount reported in the 1-10 range alongside a publicly listed project team of four (Kari Hansen, Ola Pettersen, Sonam Patel, Arild Holm).

Core offering

The company operates on a flat monthly subscription model with dedicated project managers and Asana-based task management, serving agencies, marketing teams, and scaling companies.

Product overview

Wonderwave operates as a subscription-based design and development service offering two primary plans: the All-Inclusive Plan and the Maintenance Plan. The All-Inclusive Plan provides unlimited access to design and development talents with a dedicated project manager for agencies, marketing teams, and scaling companies. The Maintenance Plan offers ongoing website maintenance, security, and content updates for existing websites. Both plans operate on a flat monthly rate model with no hidden fees or long-term commitments, and include a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. The service covers design (sitemaps, wireframes, UI design, brand identity, logos, social media posts, email templates), development (websites, landing pages, e-commerce stores, CMS platforms), video production, SEO, hosting, automation, conversion optimization, consultation, and funnel creation. Tasks are managed via Asana boards, and communication is facilitated through dedicated project managers.
