Adult website design for every corner of the industry.

Generic web agencies don't know the adult industry. They don't know the payment gateways, the AUP risks, the age-gate requirements, or the SEO landscape. Wave69 has been building adult websites since 2011 — across escort agencies, independent companions, massage businesses, directories, subscription platforms, ecommerce stores, and beyond.

01 . Why this industry needs a specialist

Three things that break every generic agency.

01

Platform and hosting AUP risk.

Shopify has shut down adult product stores mid-operation. Standard shared hosting providers terminate accounts on complaint. We build on platforms and hosting environments vetted for adult content — SiteGround for WordPress, dedicated VPS for custom builds.

02

Payment integration.

Stripe declines most adult use cases. Standard PayPal doesn't work. Adult-tolerant gateways — CCBill, NETBilling, Verotel, Epoch, Paxum, Segpay — each have their own integration patterns. Generic agencies skip this and leave you to figure it out after launch.

03

SEO and age-gate architecture.

An age-gate bolted onto a landing page isn't an age-gate — it's a speed bump. And adult industry SEO has different content thresholds, different link-acquisition routes, and different duplicate-content risks to mainstream SEO. We've been working in this vertical since 2011.

02 . What we build

Every adult business type. A playbook for each.

The right architecture for an escort directory is completely different from the right architecture for an independent companion. Each vertical has its own platform requirements, SEO strategy, and payment integration needs. We have a dedicated playbook for each.

Don't see your business type? Talk to us — we've likely built something like it.

03 . How we build

Platform choices that hold up under scrutiny.

01

WordPress FSE for most builds

WordPress Full Site Editing with ACF gives the right balance of flexibility, SEO control, and client-manageability. We use SiteGround for hosting — 1+ year of zero AUP issues on adult content. Client pays the host directly; we charge a setup fee.

02

Custom stacks for directories and platforms

Escort directories and subscription platforms need Laravel + Vue or Next.js + Node. WordPress plugin-territory doesn't scale here. Custom builds run on a dedicated VPS (OVHcloud, Hetzner, or Cloudways) — client pays the server, we configure and maintain it.

03

Adult-tolerant payment integrated from the start

We integrate CCBill, NETBilling, Verotel, Epoch, Paxum, and Segpay depending on your use case. Payment architecture is scoped in the brief — not bolted on after launch. We'll tell you which gateway fits your business type before we start building.

04

SEO-first architecture

Every build comes with technical SEO foundations: schema markup, proper internal linking structure, age-gate implementation that doesn't hurt indexation, page-speed optimisation. We build with organic traffic in mind — not just launch-day aesthetics.
