If your entire business runs through Square and you want a simple way to sync products and manage basic ecommerce, Weebly does make that part easy.“ December 17, 2025 AR Anthony R Web DeveloperDesign, Self-employedUsed the software for: Less than 6 months. “This isn’t just my experience—multiple expert reviews point out that Weebly’s themes are outdated, offer minimal customization, and haven’t seen meaningful updates in years. If you’re hoping to build something modern, flexible, or visually distinctive, you’ll hit the ceiling almost immediately.“ December 17, 2025 Marc R Digital Media SpecialistBusiness Supplies and Equipment, 51 - 200 employeesUsed the software for: More than 2 years. “The drag‑and‑drop interface, built‑in hosting, and straightforward editing tools made day‑to‑day updates easy—even for non‑technical users.“ May 8, 2026 Jacob B ManagerHealth, Wellness and Fitness, 2 - 10 employeesUsed the software for: More than 2 years. “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.“ August 9, 2025 JZ Jesse Z Software EngineerComputer Software, 51 - 200 employeesUsed the software for: 1-2 years. “It has all the tools you need to build a website, like a blog or a professional website about you, without needing to start from scratch or do any of the programming or web server hosting or database management.“ August 28, 2025 MW Matt W Owner operatorMedia Production, Self-employedUsed the software for: More than 2 years. “They have bad customer service and after over ten years they overcharged me by 4x without reason or consultation.“ December 17, 2025 Mararia D UIUX DesignerInformation Technology and Services, 11 - 50 employeesUsed the software for: 1-2 years. “Coupled with the drag and drop features and a user friendly interface, Weebly ensures that even those with little technical expertise can build a simple site and host it with little guidance.“ December 16, 2024 RK Rupinder K Owner operatorTransportation/Trucking/Railroad, Self-employedUsed the software for: I used a free trial. “It has limited phone support and very few customization options for website building.“ August 8, 2024 ## Showing most helpful reviews Showing 1-25 of 1829 Reviews Sort by: Most Helpful Rating Company Size Reviewer's Role Length of Use Frequency of Use 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.

Square needs to understand they process payments. Weebly creates websites. The only time they need each other is if there are products to sell or donations to collect Dear Squsre.

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.

Designer Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best for Personal Use" January 8, 2025 4.0 It is effective to use among small groups and allows for information to be easily stored and accessed, though it is hard to have an attractive design. Pros The interface is easy to navigate. It allows you to quickly create a website for personal or professional use. Cons While the interface is easy to navigate, it is difficult to create a sleek and modern design using the platform. It would be difficult for an organization to make a very attractive website using this platform. Review Source AH Ashleigh H.

Owner operator Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Overall good for beginners " August 8, 2024 4.0 It is not as much good as other website builders. Other websites builders provide you full control and variety of customization options but weebly doesn’t. If you are a beginner, you can opt for weebly for learning. Pros it's a very good platform for users to build websites easily providing free to paid plans. Best for the beginners who don’t know coding or find coding difficult. Cons It has limited phone support and very few customization options for website building. Ads are another drawback that comes with free plan unless you upgrade to a paid plan. 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.

I've been using it to create images for my blog posts and website and it's incredibly intuitive - anyone can pick it up in no time. see my website www.seetavacation.com Cons Some basic tools are free but the good stuff cost money, you have to pay extra Review Source MHM Mashudu Hilary M. 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.
