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.

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.

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.

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.

Pit Master Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It is easy and cheap and you can get a website up quickly" December 24, 2021 4.0 Overall I have been a loyal customer with now 3 websites for probably 10 years. I like them better than Go Daddy, well at least from 10 years ago. I think the Square addition should be a little less imposing, I know it is their company and I use them as my credit card processing and POS and the integration is cool but Weebly I think should be about the website first. It a quick way to get a website with a domain up and minimal knowledge cheap though so overall I do like the product. Pros I like how you do not have to know HTML and a whole bunch of other modern languages. It is quick and easy to launch a website and a trusted company that is not a scam which the internet is filled with. I like the shell overall and have 3 different websites with them. Cons When Square took over it made it much harder to navigate through the shell to build on the websites and it is not customizable enough for individual companies. Also I don't like how they try and force you into multiple expensive subscriptions such as (custom)@(your name.yourdomain) they want to try and make you think you have to pay google all this money and you do not. There are many things there where I feel like they should be honest and give you choices.

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.

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 NL Nate L.

I have updated and changed the content countless times over the years. Everything worked seamlessly until recently. The SSL certification for the site is no longer recognized by my web host and all the fixes put forth by Weebly do not work. This has forced me to build my site on a different platform. Cons I have spent several hours on the phone with Weebly's customer support trying to fix the SSL certification problem with no luck, forcing me to move my site to a different website building platform. Alternatives considered [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/)[GoDaddy Website Builder](https://www.capterra.com/p/182500/GoDaddy-Website-Builder/) Reason for choosing Weebly I chose Weebly because it's incredibly easy to use and is very affordable. Review Source MC Melissa C. Company Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An easy and eloquent but limited solution" November 7, 2024 4.0 I began using Weebly as early as 2008 when creating my very first brand presence online. I used Weebly to create a beautiful website with photos of my handmade products. It was very easy to create and became even easier to use as the years went on from 2008 to about 2019. When Weebly added the addition of password protected pages, memberships, and e-commerce, they were truely ahead of the game in terms of an all one solution and and a solution that presented absolute ease. I have created blogs, e-commerce sites and even membership areas with Weebly. As an experienced user, I even taught Weebly to new business owners in my community from 2016-2018. I used to exclusively use and recommend Weebly for almost anything, but these items make me consider other options now depending on the project. My experience with Weebly overall has been good and very business empowering. That said, these days there are solutions that seem like they are more supported and get more frequent updates than Weebly. Pros Weebly is still by far one of the most, if not the easier, fastest way to get a beautiful website up knowing it will look good on both desktop and mobile right out of the gate. Cons Since Weebly was purchased by Square / Squareup, there have been few updates to the Weebly platform itself and it's apps. This means that some of the features on Weebly such as apps are outdated or no longer work correctly. In addition, it can be tricky to start and log-in to Weebly now without being redirected to Square. This is very confusing especially for someone new to website creation. Review Source NM Natalie M. Product Designer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use" November 22, 2024 4.0 Overall Good. I could set up my portfolio site and manage it quite easily. Pros Easy to use and set up. I could create pages and layouts quite easily and it certaily offers more templates today than in the past. Cons At some point it merged Squarespace and the login became confusing. I had to move to a more flexible web builder, but I can recommend Weebly for quick and easy set up. Review Source NL Natasha L. COO Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Website creation in a flash" November 16, 2024 5.0 Pros It is so easy to create and manage a website with Weebly with the latest features available.

Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Basic and user friendly" October 31, 2024 3.0 I used weebly for years but I recently moved to square space because it looks more sophisticated Pros It was relatively easy to use and I think it was accessible for a first time website user Cons I don’t think it’s very flexible or polished looking Review Source Scott T. Founder Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the best user-friendly sitebuilders on the web" May 10, 2023 5.0 Weebly is by far the best website editor I've used since I started having interest in owning a website. The editor is very user friendly and its quite easy to set up multiple webpages; although the hyperlink has a .weebly.com tag in it, Weebly can be a great start if you're looking to build a website and don't know too much HTML and coding; highly recommend!There are a couple things that may need changing though. There's a lot of white space in the side margins of the website, and this may differ depending on the monitors used; despite how much content you may have on that webpage, everything on the website is centered to the middle of the page (it would be nice to edit the side margins to remove that white space.Another thing with enabling a custom domain, and enabling SSL security for it, is that the tutorial I feel is slightly outdated; ended up contacting GoDaddy support to find out how to set it up as the tutorial for it on Weebly didn't help much.It would also be nice to edit the mobile version of the website as the difference between the desktop version and mobile is crazy; its very squished and images for some reason appear enlarged compared to the desktop version. It doesn't look very appealing on mobile.My final note is that its quite expensive to enable all features of the website. It's not too bad to remove Weebly's ads and enable a custom domain with GoDaddy (or another similar provider), but again, make sure you're able to afford the upgrade Pros \> Easy to use> Updates new changes quickly on the website> Multiple available apps to integrate, and easy to apply or remove from the editor> Customer support is reliable> No limitations to how much content you can have on the website> Settings easy to configure> Multiple options to set up custom domains> Multiple theme options to choose from (although more options/layouts could be better)> Ability to change defaults for fonts, font colour, style and size in theme options> Easy to "clean up" the website to look appealing Cons \> Expensive to unlock all features for the site (including ecommerce, removing Weebly's ads, custom domain, etc.)> A lot of white space on the side margins of the editor, especially if the website is slightly zoomed out.> Setting up a custom domain using GoDaddy or another provider is a slightly tedious process to finish - with another owned website and domain, it took around 3-4 days to enable SSL security.> You're not able to edit the mobile version of the website Review Source JC John C. owner Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Weebly Website Creation" January 14, 2023 5.0 The intuitive and user friendly interface makes it so easy to use even for beginners. Pros Weebly is the perfect tool for creating stunning visuals quickly and easily. 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. Review Source SM Iftekhar S.

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.

Pros I LOVE how easy it is to access, and use Weebly! It's amazing how easy it is to publish my work as I go, so I can see what it looks like as I'm working right along in my website builder. I also really like how simplistic the back end of my dashboard is. It saves me SO much time and money because I'm not wasting it looking around and trying to find things I need. It's super easy to find in Weebly. Cons I've been saying this for quite a while now.... Weebly needs to get more templates!!
