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!!

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.

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. Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Weebly is cheaper and gives a wider customization options. Review Source Lois O. Head Copywriter Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "There are no real advantages to using Weebly" August 27, 2024 1.0 Overall Weebly was a good introduction to web design but I wouldn't recommend anyone using it long term. Play around with it if you must. But there are so many better alternatives - your time would be better spent learning to build on WP. Pros It's relatively easy to use for someone who's never built a website before. Also, the pricing is budget-friendly. Cons It feels really clunky and old fashioned.. it's so glitchy. Often doing something simple like adding a header takes 1-2 minutes. It's just not worth the hassle compared to other web builders. Also the ability to customize the designs is really limited and the support is total rubbish, don't even bother trying to contact them.

I've been using Weebly for several website over a number of years and it has satisfied my needs. Pros Weebly is a effective platform for building and managing a website without web development knowledge or experience. The system is simple to use and the learning curve is not onerous. Cons While Weebly offers numerous plug-ins to enhance website, the features of the plug-ins tend to be limited particularly for editing. Alternatives considered [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Reason for choosing Weebly Weebly held the advantage on both price and ease of use.

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 VR Verified Reviewer Founder Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ten year Weebly User " July 12, 2024 5.0 Except for the last year with Square getting involved Outstanding Pros Ease of creation and then selecting administrators to manage specific sections Cons Square bought them and has really made it much harder to access my sites. 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. Leave Weebly alone please Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Got a pro account and Weebly is much stronger host and platform Review Source JD Joshua D.

Pros The website offers dummy proof controls to build a website that helps a client launch and stay in budget for where they want to go with their business. Cons There's a lot of limitations in branding, and scalability with product integrations.

Review Source JR John R. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for beginners, business owners, or hobbyists" August 1, 2022 5.0 Pros The software is very easy to use. I literally built Weebly websites when I was about 10 years old, before I knew a lick of HTML. I've since used it to build several unused sites and a couple of active ones. I have one up now that's for a liquor store my parents own, and since they didn't need anything fancy they were able to save hundreds if not thousands on making their website by simply having me do it easily on Weebly. Cons I would recommend sticking with Weebly as your webhosting service if you're going to build the site here because they really don't make it easy to integrate with a separate web hosting service. I also question the dynamic capabilities of Weebly's site builder without usage of manual JS code. I haven't looked much into the paid plug-ins, though, so if that's what people are using then it may be possible. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/)[Squarespace](https://www.capterra.com/p/143461/Squarespace/)[Shopify](https://www.capterra.com/p/83891/Shopify/) Reason for choosing Weebly Wix, like I said didn't fit my quality standards the first time I tried it. For several uses I paid for weebly on, an online store or e-commerce site was not required, so shopify didn't make a lot of sense for them. We have also used Squarespace and felt it was of similar quality, albeit somewhat more complicated to use. We have also used Shopify if and when an online store was what we sought. For simply built static pages, I feel Weebly is the best option followed by Squarespace. Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Wix is basically Prezi... Weebly is a real website builder. Review Source JR Jessica R. Administrative Assistant Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good Website Builder" January 17, 2025 5.0 Good for beginners and simple websites, but may not be the best choice for growing businesses. Pros Easy to use. Simple and uncluttered, making it a good choice for people with limited technical skills. Offers a free plan and paid plans that are cheaper than other sites. Attractive themes that are responsive to different devices. Cons There is no way to recover deleted content. 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 AH Ashleigh H. Owner Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Weebly Website Builder" February 28, 2025 4.0 Pros Ease of use to navigate between pages. Edit, remove, and add items with easily. Not too expensive to get a starter site for a business going Cons The different options to arrange pictures, sometime they don't end up where you want them or they load to the site in a different size. Review Source SH Sadie H. Owner operator Cosmetics Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Website builder for the everyman" April 7, 2025 4.0 Overall it’s not a bad website builder to use especially if you are just starting out. Pros It helped me get started with my e-commerce website. Cons It’s not highly customizable and I have had issues with page updates. 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 VP Victoria P. Practice Manager Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Weebly for the win!" August 12, 2024 4.0 My overall experience has been great and truly don't have any complaints. Pros I like Weebly but I wish it was a little more user friendly. I am not great at website design so it may be a user issue! Cons Wish they offered more up to date tutorials to help. 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 Gilmer S. Marketing Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent for the price" September 20, 2023 5.0 I was able to take my web project from idea to publication in just a few days thanks to the powerful tools included in the free plan. I was then able to easily scale by upgrading my site with more pages, advanced eCommerce features, and a custom domain by upgrading to a paid plan. The support and documentation were also excellent in resolving any issues or concerns. I would definitely recommend Weebly to any person or organization looking for a low-cost and efficient website building solution Pros What I liked most about Weebly was its powerful drag-and-drop visual builder. It allowed me to easily create a complex site structure with multiple pages and sections using just my mouse. Its clean and well-organized interface made the design process highly intuitive. Additionally, the numerous Responsive themes and templates helped me quickly bring my ideas to life and ensure my site looks and works well from any device Cons What I liked least was the limited code customization. Although the visual editor covers most needs, experienced web developers miss the ability to inject custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code to create completely unique designs. However, I understand that this goes against Weebly's no-code approach to allowing anyone to create a professional website Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Related categories [Website Builder](https://www.capterra.com/website-builder-software/)[eCommerce](https://www.capterra.com/ecommerce-software/)[Shopping Cart](https://www.capterra.com/shopping-cart-software/)
