August 20, 2025 5.0 I've used weebly for over 10 years and it's my go-to every time I want to develop a new site without having to do any coding etc Pros It's super easy to use, and has great features, some of which I haven't seen elsewhere. The customer support is also great and they allow you to use your own .weebly.com domain for free! Cons No student discounts yet, but they are very generous and will help you. It would be nice to have a free trial of some sorts .

Owner operator Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Loyalty accounts for NOTHING" December 17, 2025 1.0 After over 10 yrs hosting my website I… After over 10 yrs hosting my website I get 4x the regular fee taken out of my bank. No explanation. After months of trying to get an answer I cancelled and got lame excuses why they ‘upgraded’ me and charged me 4x more. They said they’d give a refund and did not. The replies were somewhat arrogant too, AVOID Pros Not much. It was easy initially to setup but is very old tech now. Much better alternatives available Cons They have bad customer service and after over ten years they overcharged me by 4x without reason or consultation. I’ve cancelled!! Review Source Marc R. Digital Media Specialist Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Strong Web Software" May 8, 2026 4.0 Weebly excelled as a beginner‑friendly, dependable website builder. It made launching a site fast and unintimidating, especially for small organizations, classrooms, or users who needed a functional web presence without a steep learning curve. The drag‑and‑drop interface, built‑in hosting, and straightforward editing tools made day‑to‑day updates easy—even for non‑technical users. Pros Ease of Use: The drag‑and‑drop editor made it very approachable, even for users with little to no web design experience. You could get a site up quickly without touching code. Clean, Structured Layouts: Weebly encouraged simple, well-organized page layouts, which helped keep sites visually clean and easy to navigate. All‑in‑One Platform: Hosting, templates, basic SEO tools, and forms were built in, so you didn’t need to stitch together a lot of third‑party tools to launch a functional site. Good for Small Projects: It worked especially well for small organizations, classrooms, portfolios, or basic informational sites where speed and simplicity mattered more than deep customization. Low Learning Curve for Editors: Once a site was built, non‑technical contributors could easily update text or images without breaking the design. Cons Limited Design Flexibility: While easy to use, the editor felt restrictive. Fine‑tuning layouts, spacing, or responsive behavior was harder compared to more modern builders. Stagnant Feature Growth: Over time, the platform didn’t seem to evolve as quickly as competitors, especially after its acquisition—new features and updates felt slow or minimal. Basic SEO & Blogging Tools: SEO controls and blogging functionality were fairly surface‑level, which made it less ideal for content‑heavy or growth‑focused sites. Template Constraints: Once you chose a theme, switching or deeply customizing it could be cumbersome without redesigning large portions of the site. Less Control for Advanced Users: For users who wanted more backend access, custom integrations, or advanced functionality, Weebly quickly hit a ceiling. Review Source Jacob B. Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great starting point for a small business’s website " August 9, 2025 4.0 Pros It is a great starter website builder, especially if you have a small store with a limited inventory Cons Once you start adding a lot of customization to your website, the experience goes downhill quickly and then you have to migrate your whole site.

Pros Weebly allocates a wide array of website builder and eCommerce tools in one space. It only involves drag-and-drop to create and design websites without coding. Availability of built-in SEO services is another great aspect that I like most about Weebly. Cons Weebly rarely pose bugs on my end while creating and designing websites and landing pages.

Pros It is very easy to use and simple to understand. Cons It is a bit buggy these days and doesn’t seem to have any new features Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/)[IONOS Marketing](https://www.capterra.com/p/235441/IONOS-Marketing/) Reason for choosing Weebly Very easy to use and a sensible price. Have been using weebly for years and have tried other solutions to get past the limitations of weebly. Review Source PM Peter M. Senior Operations Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Laying a Strong Foundation with unique software, Weebly." November 19, 2024 5.0 Easy to use and customize. Has powerful security features too. Pros Weebly starts with key fundamentals like site layout, navigation and text. New layout styles gives us the flexibility to show off our items in a variety of ways. Cons Weebly expertly and consistently give a satisfying experience. Nothing serious worth highlighting.

Head of Marketing Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I've Been Using Weebly Since Childhood, Here's What I Think" November 14, 2024 5.0 Weebly has a special place in my life, as I essentially grew up with the brand. It's a perfect website builder for those that need small, personal websites or student project websites. For those with more intensive needs, I may suggest looking elsewhere. However, Weebly still gets the job done. Pros I like the simplicity of Weebly that allows even a middle school student to set up a website with ease. In fact, I made my first websites with Weebly in middle school, and still have one Weebly website as an adult. The drag-and-drop builder makes Weebly a premier choice for beginners. Cons As the years pass, Weebly seems to be behind the times with regard to new features. For example, I asked years ago if Weebly would ever get video backgrounds like their competitor, Wix. It was "still in the works," but I don't think that feature has been implemented yet. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Reason for choosing Weebly While I do use Wix for my business website, I still use Weebly for my own personal brand website. Weebly gets the job done for a cheaper price than Wix, and I don't need intensive features for my personal website. Review Source QM Queneesha M. Business Owner Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Weebly is a good starter website builder" October 3, 2024 4.0 Overall weebly is a good option to start a website. However, it will cost more to add features I feel should be included in the cost. Pros Weebly is easy to use if you have no experience creating a website. They have several pre-made templates you can customize for your industry. The price is very reasonable as well. Cons Features that were once free, now cost more. The mobile version is not very user friendly. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Reason for choosing Weebly At the time, weebly was easier and more cost effective.

January 7, 2025 5.0 great. both as a user who has built a website and as someone who has used weebly sites made by others Pros the ease of use makes it quick and simple to build a website Cons it is a little confusing to use at first but once i got the hang of it it made things quick Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) just to try something new and see if it worked better for me Review Source Lawrent M. owner Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A good affordable and quick to set up web-builder" April 9, 2022 3.0 Weebly got us started in no time, and our web presence was almost immediate. Their service was very affordable and, as a small school, it was more than welcome. We received compliments from the community for the quality of our school website. Pros Weebly allows you to quickly be present on the web thanks to its -although limited- templates, and ease of use. You can customize your website to your liking and navigate through the SEO quite easily. I liked the fact that you can add contributors with limited control. We had to resort to contacting the support team, and they always answered in a timely and efficient manner. Cons There are fewer templates than in WIX, which is essential as I didn't want to spend too much time customizing the website. Starting with something closer to what we wanted was a priority. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Reason for choosing Weebly Weebly was cheaper. However, I chose WIX for my new business. Review Source AP Autumn P. Writer Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Weekly is my absolute favorite!" June 30, 2022 5.0 This is my absolute favorite blog site! Other sites like blogger are super difficult to use, but with weekly you don’t have to know much about editing as they provide the tools for you! Plus side is that you don’t really have to be premium, I use the free version and my storytelling needs were met. Pros Beginner friendly Lots of free templates No purchase necessary you get most features free! Easy to edit and customize Cons Getting in contact with customer support is tricky Recovering lost account was nearly impossible Reason for choosing Weebly Did not look at others bought weekly Immediately. Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Wordpress was too difficult to use, they also lacked templates and some features were restricted to premium.

Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Drag and Drop Website Building For Beginners" September 7, 2022 4.0 Honestly, Weebly is an easy platform to use. You can quickly build a website for free or you can choose to go with a paid plan. I've used the free version and the paid version without any hiccups. For anyone just starting out online, their platform is a dream. Pros Weebly comes with website templates that are ready to go right out the box. For anyone looking to build a website without the fuss of watching a million tutorials or YouTube "how to" vids, this is a winner. Cons While Weebly makes website building is easy, there is little that can be done beyond the templates they provide. This is why I left Weebly and switched over to WordPress for all of my websites. Alternatives considered [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/)[Squarespace](https://www.capterra.com/p/143461/Squarespace/) Reason for choosing Weebly I left Wix and started building on Weebly because I preferred the templates on Weebly. Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) I preferred the website templates that Weebly had to offer over the templates that came with Wix. Review Source HG Heldor G.

Owner Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Stream lines my business uploads" November 23, 2024 5.0 Love it. I am so happy that they have an app that I was able to install from the Apple Store. Pros Being able to run my website from my iPad is HUGE! Such an easy program to use with Square.

However, I decided to change the WordPress, not too long after building my website and blog. Pros I really liked the tools provided by Weebly to build your own website or blog. It was super easy to build on with the tools that are provided. Cons There was nothing I didn’t like about the platform. Review Source AE Aaron E. Founder Venture Capital & Private Equity Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good, basic, and inexpensive content management system." September 10, 2024 4.0 We used it for years, mainly due to the time cost of switching, but found other platforms we used more smooth, elegant, and better looking design. Pros Low cost, easy to use, and some useful integrations. Cons Clunky user interface, not smooth as compared to other CMS solutions. Review Source VL Vicki L. Administrative Assistant Libraries Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Weebly for Web-building Newbies and for Experienced Coders" July 12, 2021 5.0 Overall, this is very good for what we need. As previously stated, there are a couple of glitchy features that don't work properly, but there is plenty of good to overrule those problematic areas. Pros As an experienced web developer, I was concerned that Weebly would be too generic for our needs and wouldn't allow us to build more detailed web pages in the cases where we would need them. But they proved me wrong. Weebly makes building and maintaining your site easy to do when it comes to the ho-hum aspects of web development, and then it lets you ramp things up when you need to with it's Embed Code feature. Overall, we are extremely pleased with Weebly. There are a few things that are glitchy or don't work reliably, but those items are minor compared to the overall skillset this software has. Cons The ability to create links to other web sites is glitchy. It doesn't work reliably and may take 2-3 tries before I can get it to work properly. The other feature that doesn't work is their Search component. It's supposed to allow users of our site to be able to search our entire side for keywords, but currently, this feature does not work. I've contacted customer support about it and they did not really give me a satisfactory response. They have no idea when or if that Search element will be fixed.

Freelancer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A very helpful, easy and affordable website builder." June 29, 2022 4.0 Weebly was one of the software that I started using in building websites for my business. It is just what people with limited technical skills need when it comes to manifesting their business online. I found it very easy to use and versatile. However over the years it has become outdated and in order to keep up with prevailing trends, I had to migrate to other software such as Wix . Pros The first and most attractive feature that I found on Weebly is how it provides a generous free plan. I found it to provide a satisfactory array of features. The user interface is highly reliable and offers an option to drag and drop new elements on a page which you can click to edit settings. Weebly offers a wide selection and flexibility of design templates together with stylish themes with different page layouts for different uses. I love how it offers unlimited levels of navigation hierarchy and on top of this, the software supports large site structures. Weebly is also convenient in that image galleries, video and music players and other gadgets are all included in the editor. In addition to this, there are a number of useful applications such as tables, calendars and social media widgets and it allows the use of external widgets and tools which is highly advantageous. Lastly, Weebly offers excellent support be it chat or email. The softwares knowledge base answers a lot of questions through comprehensible tutorials and step by step guides. Cons Over the years, there haven't been many if not any updates, no new templates have been added in a while to the software thus making it outdated. The software offers limited customization and I have found the classic editor to be quite laggy. In spite of the software coming in a number of languages, non English characters are not supported. Lastly, I really believe that an undo button would be very useful as there is no way to recover deleted content such as text and images. Review Source SM Iftekhar S. Chief Marketing Officer Import and Export Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The easiest website building software out there. " September 10, 2021 5.0 Overall, This is a game-changing website builder tool. It has great functions & great usability. Pros We can easily link our WordPress to Weebly & it automatically updates the transactions. We can build a website from scratch with no prior knowledge with this software. It integrates some great templates. Cons There is no live support to chat so sometimes it consumes a lot of time for email communication. Some more templates can make it more familiar.
