There is also a proxy generator for Web API so you still keep some of the benefits of WCF.

for web services

service stack https://servicestack.net/

Asp.net web api http://www.asp.net/web-api

Worth considering:

My personal opinion is if you want to use an MS technology, use Web API unless you have a compelling reason to use WCF.

Web API is the easiest thing you can use. I switching from desktop programming to web and creating restful services in web api allowed me to do a lot with little and also teach me a thing or two about REST. I highly recommend it.
