Excellent for the price

5.0 last year

Comments: 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

Comments: I still use weebly for one website but its limitations mean I have my main website with another website builder.

Pros:

It is very easy to use and simple to understand.

Cons:

It is a bit buggy these days and doesn’t seem to have any new features

Comments: I think it's great for entry level websites and web design.

Pros:

It’s very easy to use and the customer service was very good.

Cons:

It was difficult to integrate with HUBspot and doesn’t have the ability to customize to an LMS.

Weebly is a good starter website builder

4.0 4 months ago

Comments: 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.

Weebly - mostly ups, relatively few downs.

4.0 5 months ago

Comments: Positive overall, from the perspective of a relatively confident graphic designer able to create and manipulate graphics to add hero images / vectors to pages. Without a really good licensed image library, you might find it a struggle to create a unique and attractive website, but that's part of the challenge and where the satisfaction comes from; creating a beautiful website shouldn't be a piece of cake - you should expect to have to work (a little) at it!

Pros:

Very intuitive and simple to achieve a reasonable level of professionalism with limited graphic design skill. Handy features for e-commerce, shipping settings allow tax and weight customisation based on territory. For simple content-based website, pretty quick and satisfying to use.

Cons:

For more detailed product / brand shops, can be a little clunky to upload and customise new products, and has limited functionality in terms of sub-menus for product categories, with some layouts being very limited without being able to create custom code. Shipping costs can be confused, with items inheriting the wrong cost leading to an expensive overseas order (*this happened once).

Laying a Strong Foundation with unique software, Weebly.

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: Easy to use and customize. 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.

Ten year Weebly User

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: 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

Great Choice for E-Commerce Businesses

4.0 3 months ago

Comments: I've ran my website through Weebly for about four years, and overall I've been very happy with its features. 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.

I've Been Using Weebly Since Childhood, Here's What I Think

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: Weebly has a special place in my life, as I essentially grew up with the brand. It's a perfect website builder for those that need small, personal websites or student project websites. For those with more intensive needs, I may suggest looking elsewhere. However, Weebly still gets the job done.

Pros:

I like the simplicity of Weebly that allows even a middle school student to set up a website with ease. In fact, I made my first websites with Weebly in middle school, and still have one Weebly website as an adult. The drag-and-drop builder makes Weebly a premier choice for beginners.

Cons:

As the years pass, Weebly seems to be behind the times with regard to new features. For example, I asked years ago if Weebly would ever get video backgrounds like their competitor, Wix. It was "still in the works," but I don't think that feature has been implemented yet.

Comments: Clean and simple. We've used it for 3 of our businesses. Super easy platform.

Pros:

Simplicity. Very easy to use and drage and drop system.

Cons:

Unfortunately, going back after you adjust something is a challenge. It's not as simple as a "back" button

Success with Weeble

5.0 last year

Pros:

Weebly is very easy to learn, use and implement. 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.

Great for those who can make alot from a little

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: 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.

J.L. Weebly Review

3.0 2 years ago

Comments: Weebly is a website builder that I've used as my first ever website builder when I had little to no knowledge on how to code in order to create a website from scratch. On the good side, the software was very welcoming to me as its user-friendly interface suited me perfectly on how to start my website building process. From customizing templates and text to images and other types of content, it was very efficient financially to name one.

Pros:

I can use Weebly's drag-and-drop interface which makes it easy for me to design websites that I want to create without needing any coding knowledge.

Cons:

While Weebly is a free and easy-to-use, their design options are limited when compared to to other website builders, like GoDaddy for example.

Definitely for Non-Coders

4.0 last year

Comments: 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.

Overall good for beginners

4.0 6 months ago

Comments: 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.

A necessity can one day become a luxury

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: A true happy camper I was with my first landing page. Weebly helped put my company on the map.

Pros:

It doesn't get much easier than this - the ease of use - step by step, point and you shall receive -wysiwyg is truly the unwritten motto here.

Cons:

Weebly kept things simple, yet innovated to keep up with the times. There's no cons in my book, as I strongly believe that the talent behind the technology was ahead of its time back then, while now it can't come back fast enough.

Feels outdated

3.0 2 years ago

Comments: Weebly is the host for my art website. I do not use it for commerce, and the only reason I haven't switched to another software is how much effort it would take.

Pros:

I liked Weebly when I first began using it many years ago - it was easy to use and had lots of options for customization.

Cons:

While I feel Weebly used to be a great choice, it has been surpassed by other website building software. What used to be easy to use now feels clunky and the options look dated. Making changes to the website that Weebly hosts are complicated and don't look good.
