  • The quality of the websites made by my students increased.
  • I could dedicate more time to my core subject (design principles and presence on the web) and reduce technical explanations about HTML, CSS and etc.
  • Many students enjoyed the experience of using Weebly so much that they decided to continue using it, creating their professional websites on the platform.

  • For Wyndham use, there is strictly an entertainment value for our guests. So truly, there was no ROI.
  • For personal use, the ROI is priceless because it has aided me in finding job opportunities and the ability to showcase my experience and talents.

  • Weebly helped me launch a basic (but pretty sharp!) lead generation site in less than one day.
  • Not needing a developer has allowed me to make quick enhancements and optimizations as I find new user behavior, without waiting or paying high per hour costs.
  • The low cost has allowed me to invest in other parts of the business.

  • It has saved us time in testing new ideas. On average, we save about 30 hours per prototype just by being deployed on Weebly.
  • We have not had to train our non-technical team members in HTML coding and the like because with Weebly they can build websites using drag and drop. That's significant money saved.

  • In my case, there was no ROI since I did not continue with Weebly. I operate a personal service business so my return comes from getting leads/customers which Weebly would have been able to do for me but not in the visual presentation I wanted.
  • I ended up using Wix for one year then just recently switched to WordPress. I wish I had started with WordPress all along.
  • Weebly was easy to set up and get started with the trial so I would suggest exploring it for a few days and building a basic shell of your website to see if you like it.

  • I can build two nearly identical sites, one on Weebly and one on the market leader CMS, and the difference in build time is staggering. Weebly takes approximately 5% as long to build.
  • As far as I know, Weebly servers have not gone down once in five years. Surely they must have, but it has never been reported. The uptime and security are magnificent, which means I never get angry calls from clients. That counts for a lot.
  • Servicing Weebly sites is much easier, faster, and less labor-intensive than the industry leading CMS, which means we can manage sites for lower-budget clients and still make a profit.
