  • We have saved roughly $2000/year by managing our own website - Weebly has made that possible.
  • My staff has learned skills they would not have learned otherwise - making them more valuable to our company and future positions they may hold.
  • Weebly allows us to have near instant updates to our site - because we can do it ourselves. If we needed to go through a 3rd party, it would take days or even weeks before our content was updated.

  • We were looking to reduce the cost of our previous solution. Weebly allowed us to cut our costs by 60% at cutover.
  • We had hoped to list as one of the top conservation clubs in our state. Weebly helped us quickly rise to the top three in less than three months.
  • We are a non-profit organization, so we always aim to provide the most information available to our membership (without breaking the bank).

  • It's a website builder. It builds my website for myself and my clients. So it solves that problem.
  • It makes my life easier not having to code anything by hand.
  • Simple tools where my client can update their website on their own if I'm not available.

  • So here is the reality - while the design portions of Weebly are excellent, I feel like I was sold a car without gas. You absolutely must use some type of SEO service with this site and learn how to integrate it with Weebly.
  • Not happy with the ROI due to not having initially implemented healthy SEO strategies.
  • While Weebly is excellent for beginners and niche/creative offerings, it lacked emphasizing how important SEO is and I wish this education was better emphasized to me as a new customer 4 years ago.
  • I eventually used an SEO service along with Weebly to fill in this void but lost a couple of years before I discovered the best one for my project.

  • Weebly has saved us a lot of time with site maintenance - if we need to make a change, it's easy to get in and out without spending a lot of time trying to code.
  • Weebly is cost effective, and right now we're getting just about everything we need from the tool so we're saving money (compared to other products).

  • Helps our team be more efficient when updating sites
  • Consistency - helps our team that all of the sites are designed similarly for functionality

  • We were able to sell things online, which we hadn't been doing before (major no-no for 2018), so there was definitely a positive impact there.
  • It was easy for users to understand from the external view, so we didn't have lot of issues with troubleshooting.

  • It probably could have had a bigger impact on my finances if I had learned to monetize better. It would be awesome to have Weebly classes that taught me how to take everything to another level.
  • The store feature was nice, but didn't have all of the features I wanted in the free plan. (It may now. I created that store many years ago.)
