A Website Software that Makes Sense for Real People
We have used Weebly to create and manage our website since we started our company in 2006. We manage our website in-house and Weebly has made that possible - and in turn, saved us A LOT of money over the years. Only our marketing and branding staff access the website for design changes, but other staff have access to the site for blog posting. Over the years we have seen many developments with Weebly and have been very happy with their product.
- Easy customization.
- Integration with other apps and add ons.
- Intuitive and easy to use.
- Affordable.
- Constantly improving and adding new features.
- Meets standards for security and cookies.
- Has an auto-save function so your work doesn't get lost.
- Many template options to use as a starting point.
- Offers a strong support community to solve problems and find ideas.
- SEO settings are easy to implement and update.
- Sometimes the platform can be glitchy and needs a refresh.
- Some formatting and placement options are not customizable and this may be frustrating to some users (especially those coming over from WordPress).
- When you are uploading photos, you have to wait for the upload to finish before working on another part of your site or your work won't save (I lack patience so this bothers me).
- Detailed customization in the HTML is possible but may create over-confidence in users - especially those that don't have coding experience.

Get Your Students Writing with Weebly
We have a variety of teachers and students who use Weebly in a variety of ways including digital portfolios, websites, blogs, student projects, and teacher reflections. Teachers are often looking for a way in which students can learn to share their voice and information with a greater audience. What we are finding is that teachers are promoting the idea of students creating a website or blog as part of a greater assignment or project in which they keep track of what they are doing and have check-ins where they post about what they are doing and what they have accomplished. Our English and Science Departments seem to use it the most, but this is an app that can be used in any discipline or subject matter.
- Great drag and drop website or blog builder which lets students spend more time writing and gathering information than learning how to put a website together.
- Professional look and feel with a modern touch. Students can upload a background or banner image and really make a basic site or blog look professional in minutes.
- Love the option for students to decipher between building a full blown website or a blog. Often, if students are blogging, they don't need the whole gamut of site pages, etc. This lets them target their audience and style.
- They offer a free version which is great for education and student made sites.
- The embed code option is great for teachers creating a website so that they can embed other apps they use daily like padlet, thinglink, flipgrid, etc.
- Wish there was a way to track website revision history when making changes/reversions.
- Data and analytics features, which are great resources when teaching students about blogging and their effect to a wider audience is limited. Something more closely resembling what WordPress offers would be great. This hurts using Weebly as a blogging app.
- The program is simple to use. Sometimes customization seems limited because of it.

Stupid Simple Website Builder
Weebly is a web design tool that assists in building a custom website without having to have mass amounts of experience in HTML/CSS, Java, or other languages. This is a great tool to use for those that wear multiple hats and need something basic that caters towards their specific needs. Since my client is a small business owner, she's the only one who uses it from a backend standpoint.
- Easy to customize
- Great visuals and tools to make your website feel alive
- Great atmosphere and support
- I'd like to see smoother flows when using animations for scrolling up/down the page, but I know that will come in time.

Been Great - Easy for Novice & Helpful for Niche Market
My company is small (2) and we both share in the use of Weebly. The reason we first chose this product and have continued to use for the past 4 years is that Weebly is so easy for a novice to use. Everything is drag and drop and, in having a choice of things to choose from the visual drag and drop menu it also give us ideas of how to create and edit our site.
- Easy for anyone, no computer expertise necessary. Even inserting code to make things specific has been really easy.
- Immediate support. When I have added to or re-designed the site, I need frequent support and I receive it usually within 24 hours (if it is by email) or instantly if by phone.
- Options to add an online store.
- I do not recommend their marketing feature yet.
- Marketing feature does not have a way to sync opt-ins to MailChimp and every email has to be put in by hand.
- At one point my mass emails were limited to 500 people. I ended up never using this feature since I have more than this but found this limiting.

You don't need to have much knowledge about programming as Weebly provides you automated templates. You can just select, drag and drop and design your website as per your choice. In this way it helps me to design a website for my company and its customers.
- Weebly provides its customer best speed and security which reduces the risk of hacking.
- If you add a subdomain within your website then Weebly is free forever.
- You don't need to have much programming knowledge. It provides you templates you just need to drag and drop them as per your choice.
- Every system has sort, filter, and edit features. It has a pages section that shows all the pages on its site, and it allows you to drag and drop the hierarchy and click to edit each. But it not efficient.
- The main disadvantage of Weebly is that if you move to different platform it becomes difficult for you to migrate your content and redirecting your URLs
- You can do HTML editing, so most marketing tools can be added to it. But since you don't have overall control to the site and server it can be difficult or impossible for you to add.

This application was used specifically in a department of the company that since it was possible to create a web page for the offices of several states at a national level, to be used by those offices that did not have a page, it was very easy to create since you do not need to have knowledge in computer science, especially programming.
- It is not necessary to have programming knowledge.
- It is very easy to use because it has great editors and you can make eye-catching designs.
- It is perfect for inventory management and order tracking.
- You can place the type of currency you want to be used to buy on the page.
- It does not stop loading new seedlings.
- the information may be a little messy.
- Telephone support is in English.

Good for First-Timers
Weebly makes it easy for my team to manage all of our websites in-house instead of having to contact any other agency or vendor to make changes. It's also nice to have all of our sites in one place, so we can easily make updates multiple quickly without a whole lot of thought.
- Easy to update website designs.
- Multiple plugins and apps you can use to upgrade your site
- It's nice to be able to have authorization to multiple sites through one login
- Plugins leave a lot to be desired. Not a ton of custom options and many require additional subscriptions.
- SEO options are also pretty elementary - if SEO if a focus for you, avoid Weebly
- Overall templates are pretty boring compared to something you could create on WordPress

Weebly Helps Us Connect to Our Audience!
We are creating a greater reach to our audience. It seems that people are getting their news and resources online more and more and the blog helps offer ideas, information, and tips on how they can be better stewards.
- I like how easy it is to customize your page.
- There is a flexibility like most other sites simply do not have.
- I don't like that you have to buy a plan to get 'weebly' out of the web address.
- It sort of makes it confusing for people who are looking for a specific site when you're only a student and can't afford to publish your projects on your own.

Weebly creates fast & easy no hassle websites
We decided to create a website for our youth programs that was separate from our main website, Weebly fit what we needed exactly! We are able to have multiple users with different levels of web design knowledge access and update the site from anywhere. We can even restrict which pages each editor can access.
- Extremely large selection of well-designed templates make getting started creating a website easy.
- Allowing multiple editors with different permissions to access from anywhere.
- Allowing customization of templates i.e.: adding company colors and rearranging headers by page.
- I would like to be able to preview changes on the web and mobile before publishing them. The widget in the editor is nice, but not always as realistic as I would like. I like to view it in different browsers before publishing.
- I would like to see better information for novices on SEO.
- When embedding a document I find Scribd to take away from the design of the page and users have difficulty navigating and downloading. I usually also end up placing the file in a downloadable format above the embedded file from Scribd.

My experience with Weebly
Weebly was selected to support a new website for a new company. It has been used as an institutional tool to provide useful information about the company's structure, associated partners, services portfolio, etc. Actually, it is available in two languages (English and Brazilian Portuguese). The main business objective was to easily deploy a responsive website in a short period of time, without the need of any technical professional.
- Chance to test the service/tools available before signing it to check how easy it is. It is possible to sign it only after trying it out.
- Variety of templates and guidelines. No need to write one single code line. I deployed the whole site only using the setup tools, assistants, etc.
- It is very easy and fast to deploy (it was made in 2 days!).
- Variety of add-ons and applications that may be attached to the website. Example: the multi-language app that made possible to publish the second language version in just one day.
- I believe that the model based on templates may limit some users who desire to create something really different or more personalized.
- I think that the basic reporting could be a bit more complete, providing more useful information.
- The multi-language app is a bit confusing at the start. I believe it may become an issue in case of projects that demand 3 or 4 languages translations. After a while, it becomes easier to understand how it works, but its operation demands attention to avoid basic mistakes such as forgetting to translate one single page.
Weebly was tested by me to be implemented by the Web-Design team of Creatively, my intermedia production company, on the building of our website. Though it was not selected as our tool of choice, I did have some valuable on sight on what is it good or bad for when designing your own website for your business.
- It has one of the best - if not THE best - price as compared to other platforms such as Wix and Squarespace.
- Very easy-to-master technique of building: just click on the desired element and drag it to the screen.
- Nice and beautiful themes are available to use.
- It gives you a real hard time if you want to position the elements on the page with precision. This is the worst of Weebly's cons.
- It lacks some essential blogging features such as the ability to highlight related, most popular or latest posts.
- Also a very big turn-down, it is very difficult to migrate content from Weebly to another platform, so if you change your mind and decide to do it elsewhere when your blog is up and running, this will be a big problem.

Weebly gets it done well
Many clients with limited needs and limited budgets require a simple, professional-looking website they can easily manage themselves. Weebly is the best solution for this. We are able to create a professional website in a fraction of the time with Weebly, which can grow in a few specific ways to fit client needs. Weebly is not our only tool, and certainly not our most common platform, but it is the most effective, usable, and capable drag-and-drop website builder we have tried.
- The greatest strength of Weebly is the split design interface. The primary design method is graphical, drag-and-drop. The secondary design method is direct hands-on management of the CSS. This combination means we can get to launch far faster, without sacrificing customization.
- One feature Weebly had which no competitors could match was enabling SSL for ecommerce sites. Where most competitors give a 'shared' SSL which exposes the platform's URL during the checkout stage, Weebly enables site-specific SSL, so your customers never leave your site.
- Weebly's ease of management is less unique, but should be mentioned. Every object is managed in context, so the learning curve for clients who wish to self-manage is incredibly short. We are able to hand off the site confidently with just one or two brief training sessions.
- Weebly's pricing structure leaves plenty of room for improvement. Their Pro and Business tiers should be combined, as the overlap is significant and often confuses clients.
- The inability to expand my account to handle all 18 client sites under one account is frustrating. We are forced to have two separate logins and set both accounts as editors for all sites on each account, instead of just paying double the annual fee and getting all the sites together.
- The inability to shift a client's site from 'white label' to group management is terribly irritating.
- The default themes are fairly limited in style and do not always directly follow modern design trends, making matching client desires more difficult.
