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.

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 . Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Wix was too complicated for me, but weebly was simple to understand and fast to use Review Source AA Abdi A. Director of Operations Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "What I Experience with Weebly as a DOO in a Sports Sector" October 6, 2026 4.0 Pros Weebly offers drag-and-drop editor functionality which makes it easy to build pages and websites without coding. Cons Weebly allocates all the features that I yearn to use in one central dashboard even though pricing for domain from second year is a bit expensive. Review Source AR Anthony R. Web Developer Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good for Square Users, Limited for Everyone Else" December 17, 2025 3.0 My experience with Weebly has been mixed, leaning more toward the underwhelming side. The one clear advantage is its deep integration with Square. 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. For sellers who rely exclusively on Square’s ecosystem, that tight connection can be convenient and straightforward. However, beyond that, the platform shows its age. The templates are extremely limited in both design and functionality, and most Weebly sites end up looking nearly identical. 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. Weebly’s simplicity might appeal to beginners, but for anyone wanting creative control, scalability, or a professional‑grade site, the platform feels too basic. With stronger competitors offering far more design freedom and better long‑term support, Weebly struggles to keep up. Pros Maybe the only benefit to this basic website builder is that it deeply integrates with Square, which is only beneficial if you solely rely on Square for your products. Cons The templates they provide are lacking in design and functionality. Most if not all Weebly sites are very basic. Review Source SK Simranjit K.

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's easy to use, even for a beginner. I can create great looking websites, format photos and text easily, embed code and widgets, and customize everything I need to.

It has made it growing our brand online easy. Pros I like the ease of SEO optimization and easy of growing an online brand. It makes business marketing easy and is an affordable tool too.

Review Source CS Cedric S. Director Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for those who can make alot from a little " June 16, 2023 5.0 Overall Weebly is very cost effective and easy to navigate. This is great starter website for all who need a digital footprint online. For those who are more advanced it allows you to set up a secure website as well. Pros One of the luxuries is this product is that it is free. This website provides different themes to start you off and then you build from there. They make it easy to embed different links like payment buttons and pictures you want displayed. You can change colors, add text, titles and themes. Overall any administrator with a creative eye should be able to navigate this site. Cons My main irritant about Weebly is the "powered by Weebly"water mark that remains on every page. Everyone who visits your page will know your site is through Weebly. Also there are not many themes when getting started. You have a few to get started with but it's up to you to make it original. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Reason for choosing Weebly It was more cost effective. It started off as just trying it out until the website actually started looking good. 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.

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 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.

UIUX Designer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Craft Beautiful and Cutting Edge Websites with the Worlds Best Website Builder Weebly" December 16, 2024 5.0 My overall experience using Weebly is always great. Weebly has a free plan that enable anybody who wants to try its features to do so without incurring any expense and the free hosting option provided is a bonus as you can build a site and host it easily thereby its a powerhouse! Pros As we re-known website builder what i like most about it is that, Weebly has a variety of well crafted templates that are beautiful, Customizable and responsive. 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. Furthermore, it has a free plan with enough features thereby suitable for those who want to test the platform and also for personal use. Cons Everything about Weebly is wonderful. It ability to integrate with other third party apps extends its capability. Additionally, Weebly has a beautiful and easy to use interface that helps simplify the website building process. Thereby there is nothing i dislike about Weebly. Review Source JZ Justin Z. Freelance Web Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy-to-use Platform for Creating Visually Appealing Website" March 26, 2025 5.0 I had a positive experience with Weebly and would recommend it for those who are just starting out to have an online presence. Pros Very easy to use and customize without compromising SEO. Even adding products for online shop and it is a powerful feature. Page designs are modern and up to date with the trend. Cons Pricey. Few themes only. Domain registration also pricey. 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 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 KS Kristi S. Media/Technology Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Weebly is user friendly and cost effective if you need a web page set up quickly!" January 27, 2022 5.0 I have not had to contact Weebly support at all, so that is a positive in my book! Many times when I start out with a new software program or web program, there is a lot of communication between myself and the company support team in order to get things how I need them. This was so user-friendly that my son set up a free personal page for a class in just a single day. As a tech coordinator, this was very easy for me to set up, and our admin assistant was able to learn to add & edit content very quickly. Pros I like that there are many themes to choose from to customize your site on Weebly, and the interface is user friendly. You can switch back and forth from a screen that looks like a word processor (for selecting bold, italics, font size, color, etc.) OR you can switch to the coding language of HTML if you want further customizations. I have gotten along great without needing to switch to HTML, but it is nice to know I have the option. There is a nice variety of templates to choose from, and you can control who can view your page. For our organization, we only wanted our staff to have access to personnel forms, so we set this up with a password. Very easy to select that option if you need a private site. Cons At first it was confusing that I had to make two payments every few years. Then I realized that one payment is for Weebly to secure your preferred domain name (if it is available) and they register it for you. I have that part set up to renew every five years. The second payment is an annual subscription fee for using the Weebly software interface and all the features that comes along with that including a nice selection of themes. Reason for choosing Weebly Nice templates and user-friendly, low cost, very little training required, if any. Review Source JM Jonathan M. Growth Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Decent, but not the best." July 14, 2022 3.0 Overall, Weebly has served us well. At the same time, we have moved our storefront off of the platform and onto the Wix platform because it's just a superior option. For a basic, small-business website platform, I think Weebly is fine, but as we have grown and our needs have become more robust, we have needed to move to the Wix platform. Pros Weebly is extremely easy to use for a novice designer. If you're looking to get up and running quickly, you can do so with this platform. However, if you need to expand your website offerings or need something much more robust with databases, forms, and a storefront, you might consider other options. Cons Weebly is a relatively easy-to-use CMS platform but its template options are significantly lacking. However, there are a lot of companies that provide templates you can install on the Weebly platform, but it will require some technical know-how. I would also say that Weebly has not kept up with website trends as quickly as other CMS providers like WP, Wix, and Squarespace.

Was pretty easy to learn (this was my first try at using the site editor). The preview mode is quirky (using an iframe) and the site editor's navigation is a little hard to understand at first. Pros Layout sections are easy to set up and adapt well with content. Seems to be very responsive out of the gate. Cons No place for custom CSS. No versioning of changes. One really annoying thing: if you get logged out while in the Weebly site editor (logged in as a Square user), it doesn't direct you back to Square's login. Not sure why it asks you to sign into weebly. This confused the hell out of me several times since I don't have a Weebly account and had to backtrack to find the Square login.

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!! It's getting harder and harder to keep my site looking fresh and unique because Weebly hasn't rolled out new website templates in a very long time :( Review Source AA Adegboyega A.
