Head Copywriter Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "There are no real advantages to using Weebly" August 28, 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. Alternatives considered [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/)[Squarespace](https://www.capterra.com/p/143461/Squarespace/) Reasons for choosing Weebly I chose Weebly due to its low price point and recommendations from others in the industry. Review Source Director Director Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great for those who can make alot from a little " June 20, 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/) Reasons for choosing Weebly It was more cost effective. It started off as just trying it out until the website actually started looking good.

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 Growth Director Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Decent, but not the best." July 15, 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. Review Source Writer Used the software for: 3-5 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 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. Reasons for choosing Weebly Did not look at others bought weekly Immediately.

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 Lawrent M. owner Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "A good affordable and quick to set up web-builder" April 12, 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/) Reasons for choosing Weebly Weebly was cheaper. However, I chose WIX for my new business. Review Source Media/Technology Coordinator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Weebly is user friendly and cost effective if you need a web page set up quickly!" February 1, 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. Reasons for choosing Weebly Nice templates and user-friendly, low cost, very little training required, if any. Review Source Pit Master Used the software for: 3-5 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.

Review Source Chief Creative Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Will the Real Weebly Please Stand Up" November 10, 2021 3.0 Weebly is an easy and predicable $300m plug in for Square. Just plug and plan until you get bored or go out of business. Pros After the $300m purchase of Weebly by Square, I was so excited. Having been an initial beta tester of Square, I immediately saw the potential of eCommerce if a robust and flexible platform could be developed and implemented. While I am not privy to the sale negotiations of Weebly, I have often wonder why Weebly was chosen. Is it Weebly or is it Square? The lack of clarity shows in the manner in which the program has been implemented at Square. What I like about Weebly is that it is still Weebly. Square has opted not to influence the Weebly platform so it is easy to use if you are familiar with its capabilities. Weebly is a humongous plug in for Square. If you understand this Weebly is a piece of cake to use as part of Square as it is only an extension. Cons I am disappointed that none of the genius of Square can be found in the Weebly by Square. It is like Weebly moved into the house as a foster child and Square has no desire to adopt. That is ok for some, but Weebly could grow up to be an amazing program in the lineup of platforms. Sadly its adolescence is endless in its current custodial care. Review Source Freelancer Freelancer Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "A very helpful, easy and affordable website builder." June 30, 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 Contract Web Designer Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Definitely for Non-Coders" November 17, 2023 4.0 Helped a client set up a webstore by creating several pages and adding custom styling to them. 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.

" September 13, 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.

Review Source Business Owner Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Weebly is a good starter website builder" October 8, 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/) Reasons for choosing Weebly At the time, weebly was easier and more cost effective. Review Source Technology Facilitator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Weebly is an incredible option for building beautiful websites!" December 31, 2019 5.0 Very pleased! Weebly has allowed me to easily create beautiful sites for a competitive price. The tutorials and user friendliness are incredible! Pros I have built several websites with Weebly and other competitors. Here's what I like most about Weebly: - It's incredibly easy to use! Weebly offers a drag and drop interface that anyone can get the hang of using. - Reliable and error free - I've rarely experienced loading/saving errors. It's a reliable platform. - Weebly comes loaded with a variety of editable templates to choose from. - No advanced coding skills are needed, bit there is room for that if you have that skillset. - Pricing is among the best - even the free version is great. - There are great tutorials if you find yourself lost or needing help. - I think it's great for using with students It's a great introduction platform for students in website design. The blog design is a great option for students. Cons There's little to complain about with Weebly in my opinion, but know your purpose or intentions. If you want to build advanced sites with lots of content or sites that require passwords or money transfers, it may be beneficial to look at other platforms. You are somewhat limited with what you can do/create or the analytics you can track/collect. Switched from [Squarespace](https://www.capterra.com/p/143461/Squarespace/) Primary reasons are the user friendliness and the pricing. Alternatives considered [Squarespace](https://www.capterra.com/p/143461/Squarespace/) Reasons for choosing Weebly Pricing was the primary reason. In hindsight, I also feel that it was easier and quicker to get the Weebly site up and live.

I've had a few hiccups along the way with the platform, but I am still very satisfied and intend to stick with them. Pros Weebly is easy to use and customize, so I was able to create an excellent website with little past experience. Also, adding new products is super fast and simple, which is crucial for my jewelry business. Cons The platform is quite glitchy, crashing out on mobile regularly. It is also quite expensive. The only premium feature I needed was the custom domain, yet I still had to pay $30.00 a month extra.

With Weebly you can design, build and launch your website with ease. You can make changes to your design simply by click and dragging elements onto the page. Love this! Cons I’m satisfied with using Weebly. The fact they have free pages for users is a huge perk to try it out before purchasing a website with more features.

It was exactly what i needed when I started my small business. Pros Extremely user friendly. The shopping cart, drag and drop features, the pre-built templates are cool too. Its a super good store & website builder for anyone wanting a store or website but not wanting to deal with all the techy stuffy. Cons Its all pre built drag and drop, no ability to really manipulate the html etc. Review Source Tutor, Founder of initiative Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Amazing software for website building and website design - strongly recommended" November 4, 2022 5.0 Overall, I love using Weebly to create website because I feel like I'm not restricted to a template but I also have many features to help make the website look professional. Very user friendly platform, anyone can use it as long as they are willing to learn. Pros I have been making blogs and websites with Weebly for almost 5 years now. The website I made for my tutoring initiative and small business have been the best work of mine so far. One thing that I really like about Weebly is that the platform gives you a lot of freedom to personalize your website and give it your touch but the platform also has suggestions/features that help make whatever you produce look professional. The features such as spacers which create a space between different objects make the site look much more aesthetically pleasing as everything is not just crammed together. The features such as "contact forms" or "image galleries" are very practical features to have and help shape a well made website. Weebly is also incredibly user friendly. Anyone willing to learn would be able to figure out how to use the platform in a very short amount of time. You can choose to preview the site and test out the site to see how everything is working and make any needed changes accordingly. Cons I really don't have anything bad to say. Weebly has always been my go to when it comes to creating websites. Review Source Nitin S.

Start-ups can try this to make run their early product usability testings but cannot recommend to use it full fledge. Pros I have used their websitr builder and its really easy and can be easily customised with basic elements you require to start your own online store fast and inexpensive. I loved their effort to help starters with seo guides whenever I have been stucked at a point of time. Cons They should update some of their themes or add new website themes as all themes are very old and will not be useful in today's era where people use wordpress and elementor. Weebly might nit be good for advanced store as it lacks features. Review Source Web Project Coordinator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### ""Starter" websites: Easy to DIY, lacking in customization" January 29, 2021 3.0 Weebly makes it unbelievably easy to create simple websites with virtually no technical skill or experience. If you're a solo entrepreneur, on a modest budget, and don't care about ranking well in search results, this is a solid choice. Think of a Weebly website as a "starter" website. If you are part of a bigger company or have more specific needs in a website, skip Weebly and consider hiring an experienced developer. You'll be glad you did. Pros Weebly is the easiest website building platform I've ever used. The drag-and-drop style of editing is highly visual, so you can literally see what you are creating in real time. It puts building your own website in reach for many people, saving thousands of dollars in design and development fees. You also don't have to worry about setting up third-party web hosting because Weebly keeps things under one roof. Cons All the ease of use comes at a cost, and that is the ability to customize. Compared to other platforms, Weebly is very limited in what it can do. Basic eCommerce is an option, which is a plus. But if you are used to an endless array of plugins, say, then you will be disappointed at the limited features offered in Weebly. If you just need a simple website and don't have your heart set on very unique layouts or effects, this is not a problem. I also have to point out the SEO factor. Weebly offers the ability to optimize some parts of the website - and you should optimize as much as you can. However, coming from a developer who even halfway knows what they're doing, a Weebly site is going to have a hard time competing with a well-optimized website on a certain other very popular web platform. Definitely not the least expensive hosting provider out there, either. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/)[WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Reasons for choosing Weebly Ease of use - could complete websites faster in a very small, growing company. It was also recommended to us by a third-party online class, for the same reason. Virtually no technical knowledge at all is required. Review Source Nicki B.

The free version has so many features that its great to try it out before you buy it. Cons It can be tough to edit Weebly from the phone app but we haven't had a need to make changes on the fly, so it's been okay to not have phone editability. Switched from [Google Workspace](https://www.capterra.com/p/247901/Google-Workspace/) We needed something more professional and that had more features.

Pros Availability of robust eCommerce features which makes it easy to set online stores is what I like most about Weebly. Cons Even though pricing range from $10, some products such as domains are quite expensive. Review Source Vice-President Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Weebly Review - An Easy Solution to Creating a Website" May 27, 2020 5.0 I would describe it as nothing short of successful. We have been able to build from scratch a professional website that has been great for providing information to our customers and guests. We have had no technological problems, though I did find myself contacting customer support on a couple of occasions. They were very responsive and helpful! Overall, I would describe it as a great success using Weebly. Pros My favorite part about this software is that it provides for the ability for more technologically-limited users, such as myself, to easily create a professional website. The ease of use is exemplary, as my favorite feature is the "drag and drop" ability to add in sections, pictures, and widgets. Additionally, there are extra plugins that are available but for basic use, it is very easy to quickly create a user-friendly website the has been easy for our customers to learn about our business. Cons As a double-edged sword, it should be noted that, for more advanced users, this might seem like a more basic alternative. The ease of use is great but for people who are looking for a more high-end, advanced website might want to consider other options. For the purposes of our business and its needs, this fits excellently. Alternatives considered [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Reasons for choosing Weebly I, personally, am not technologically savvy enough to use other products. Drag and drop was a huge factor for me because I needed to both be able to build the website and have it be reviewed and edited by our staff. We all are at the same level of competence and this was a solution that fit us all! Review Source Author Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great options for a self-published author" September 17, 2019 5.0 I love what I can do with Weebly. I use one of the smaller package options and it allows me to apply my logo to the menu tab, as well as knock the weebly.com off my website address. I found it easy to set up photos and link them to other websites, making my home page set-up exactly as it needed to be for an author. The package I'm using also opened up the option to create a password protected page. I haven't used that option and I doubt I will. I haven't needed it up to this point. It's nice to know it's available, though. Creating a landing page to add to my social media sites was also pretty easy to do. Pros Weebly was so easy to set up and use. The drag and drop features can't be beat. The free to pro features are clearly outlined to help you decide which one will work best for your needs. Cons It's clearly created with fast, reliable internet in mind. My internet is not so fast, since our ISP uses cell towers to bounce signals around. We're a rural area and with only one company providing internet service, if lots of people are online, I can't even use the site. The editor just refuses to open. Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) The cost:value ration just worked better for me on Weebly. I still use Wordpress for a different blog, but it's the free version. I just don't like Wordpress's paid plans very well. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Reasons for choosing Weebly Again, the pricing:value ration seemed better for me on Weebly.
