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.

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.

I am a professor in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, teaching music students how to create a presence online. One important aspect is creating some kind of site or hot site, which tends to be very difficult for non-technical people. I found that Weebly works really well for these students, allowing them to create sites that express themselves creatively, even when they lack the skills typically associated with web development.

I use Weebly both personally as a portfolio and living resume for myself as well as a recreational site for my current place of employment, Wyndham. For Wyndham, we use Weebly to share a virtual scavenger hunt for guests and bloggers that participate in social media. It's a fun way to get our guests engaged. Weebly is simple to use and navigate, easy to maintain or make changes and has plenty of options to customize.

Weebly is being used to build, update, and host our website. The problem it addresses is the need for a sharp looking, easy to update website, without breaking the bank or requiring a developer. The needs and requirements for the website are fairly basic.

Weebly is used to cast vision for projects I'm working on, share personal thoughts or opinions, and generate ideas about projects. Currently it's used on an individual basis. It addresses a high need in this company to broadcast widely what is happening in our organization.

Weebly is used within my program to create portfolios for teachers and students. The free web hosting and customizable elements are extraordinarily helpful for students and teachers alike. The program allows one to make something truly representative of themselves. It could also be used to create a class website or way to share other information.

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.

We use Weebly to quickly create landing pages that we can use to test new ideas. The whole organization right now is involved in generating new product ideas, so we're currently using it across the board. The main problem that it solves for us is that it saves us time in creating landing pages. There's no separate hosting to worry about and the built in designs and templates are good enough to provide for a variety of things we can test quickly.

I do not currently use Weebly. About a year ago I started a small business and needed to create my own website. I am not a developer so the idea of open source WordPress did not seem like the best way to start off. I did my research and narrowed down to Weebly, Wix, and Squarespace. I decided to use a trial of all three to decide which I like best. This is my review based on my experience during my trial of Weebly as I did not end up purchasing a paid Weebly plan.

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.

Weebly is being used as a tool of social marketing in our office. Its currently being used only in our office. It address patients to communicate with us better thru social media contact and as well giving us reviews on how we are doing as a practice. We really enjoy using Weebly.

I used Weebly for my artist portfolio page. To make a long story short, I ended up in switching to Squarespace after reaching the limitation of what Weebly could not do. For an artist's showcase site, appearance is everything, Weebly didn't stick around in terms of the appearance. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't good either. Also, some bit of coding skill was required to alter simple matters, and I totally dreaded having to do it myself. I liked that customer service was available, and they were nice, but what I wanted required so much coding which they are not equipped to support. I did not want to pay extra $1000 or so just to make the website the way I wanted. If appearance is not important at all, then Weebly can make a website very quickly. But it does not become very pretty, like other platforms do.

I use Weebly as a free website builder. It provides a free domain, although the free version includes weebly.com. It has easy to use templates with drag and drop style settings. It is very intuitive and has tutorials to help understand it in more detail.

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.

We use Weebly for one of our websites, so it's currently used exclusively by our marketing team. It's an easy-to-use solution to quickly build a website, and it makes it super easy to add pages, change content, etc. without requiring a developer. It has easy navigation, a simple drag and drop interface, and sufficient widget options.
