Overall Satisfaction with Weebly

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a small business that is currently using Weebly to create and maintain our website. There are a handful of employees that are trained on how to use the software and we use it to get information to our customers regarding merchandise, current sales and promotions, store hours and locations etc.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Weebly makes it easy for users who are not very tech savvy to create a site that looks professional and well thought out.
Weebly provides users with a variety of templates for creating new pages quickly and efficiently.
The software allows users to make updates to their site and pages quickly and changes are published immediately.

Cons

Sometimes the templates in Weebly are restrictive which make design and adding content a little difficult.
While adding new pages is relatively easy, there are a lot of steps/questions that a user must tackle in order to set the page up.
Incorporating photos and/or a slide show in Weebly is helpful but the feature is a clunky and doesn't integrate with the website as nicely as we would like.

Return on Investment

Weebly has allowed our business to create a connection with our customers by offering home decor, cooking and styling tips.
Weebly gives us the chance to relay information to customers regarding merchandise, current sales and promotions, store hours and locations etc. Which has helped increase business.
Weebly has given our not very tech savvy business the opportunity to have a website and stay relevant with our competitors.

Alternatives Considered

Skype and Jabber

Weebly is a great tool for marketing and advertising. It is perfect for a small business and allows us the ability to get information to customers regarding merchandise, current sales and promotions, store hours and locations etc. The other softwares that I have used are primarily for internal communication and I wouldn't say that they compare to Weebly.

Other Software Used

Skype, WebEx Meetings, Jabber, Microsoft Access, MailChimp

Likelihood to Recommend

Weebly is definitely well suited for small business that don't have a large marketing budget or tech savvy employees but would still like to have information reach their customers. Weebly would not be something I would recommend for a company looking to sell merchandise online or a company with a technology department and the ability to create a little more integrated site for their customers.
