Excellent for the price

5.0 last year

Comments: I was able to take my web project from idea to publication in just a few days thanks to the powerful tools included in the free plan. I was then able to easily scale by upgrading my site with more pages, advanced eCommerce features, and a custom domain by upgrading to a paid plan. The support and documentation were also excellent in resolving any issues or concerns. I would definitely recommend Weebly to any person or organization looking for a low-cost and efficient website building solution

Pros:

What I liked most about Weebly was its powerful drag-and-drop visual builder. It allowed me to easily create a complex site structure with multiple pages and sections using just my mouse. Its clean and well-organized interface made the design process highly intuitive. Additionally, the numerous Responsive themes and templates helped me quickly bring my ideas to life and ensure my site looks and works well from any device

Cons:

What I liked least was the limited code customization. Although the visual editor covers most needs, experienced web developers miss the ability to inject custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code to create completely unique designs. However, I understand that this goes against Weebly's no-code approach to allowing anyone to create a professional website

Weebly - mostly ups, relatively few downs.

4.0 3 months ago

Comments: Positive overall, from the perspective of a relatively confident graphic designer able to create and manipulate graphics to add hero images / vectors to pages. Without a really good licensed image library, you might find it a struggle to create a unique and attractive website, but that's part of the challenge and where the satisfaction comes from; creating a beautiful website shouldn't be a piece of cake - you should expect to have to work (a little) at it!

Pros:

Very intuitive and simple to achieve a reasonable level of professionalism with limited graphic design skill. Handy features for e-commerce, shipping settings allow tax and weight customisation based on territory. For simple content-based website, pretty quick and satisfying to use.

Cons:

For more detailed product / brand shops, can be a little clunky to upload and customise new products, and has limited functionality in terms of sub-menus for product categories, with some layouts being very limited without being able to create custom code. Shipping costs can be confused, with items inheriting the wrong cost leading to an expensive overseas order (*this happened once).

Weebly is a good starter website builder

4.0 2 months ago

Comments: Overall weebly is a good option to start a website. However, it will cost more to add features I feel should be included in the cost.

Pros:

Weebly is easy to use if you have no experience creating a website. They have several pre-made templates you can customize for your industry. The price is very reasonable as well.

Cons:

Features that were once free, now cost more. The mobile version is not very user friendly.

Comments: Love it. I am so happy that they have an app that I was able to install from the Apple Store.

Pros:

Being able to run my website from my iPad is HUGE! Such an easy program to use with Square. They knocked this out of the park.

Cons:

I have not ran into anything that I do not like yet. I have been using the app for about a month at the time of this review.

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

Building a website can be complicated if you don’t have a background in web design. With Weebly you can design, build and launch your website with ease. You can make changes to your design simply by click and dragging elements onto the page. Love this!

Things Change

3.0 last year

Comments: I truly loved working with the website builder because it was quick and easy to make changes. I wish I could have continued using it because of that, but I couldn’t afford to continue.

Pros:

When I first started using Weebly, it was acquired by Square. It synced products, worked well with Facebook and Instagram and was super easy to use.

Cons:

Over time, features changed, integration lacked and syncing went away without notice.

Websites for dummies!

5.0 10 months ago

Pros:

Weebly has tons and tons of templates to make building your website simple and easy. It's great for beginners or people who just don't want the fuss or don't want to spend a long time on a website.

Cons:

While I personally didn't need this feature, the e-commerce options are there but limited. Products there just may not look as sleek as some other website builders.

Feels outdated

3.0 last year

Comments: Weebly is the host for my art website. I do not use it for commerce, and the only reason I haven't switched to another software is how much effort it would take.

Pros:

I liked Weebly when I first began using it many years ago - it was easy to use and had lots of options for customization.

Cons:

While I feel Weebly used to be a great choice, it has been surpassed by other website building software. What used to be easy to use now feels clunky and the options look dated. Making changes to the website that Weebly hosts are complicated and don't look good.

Weebly User Review

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Weebly is really handy to use, very easy to learn, the app is really helpful as well as you can make edits without a computer or laptop.

Pros:

Weebly is really affordable and the drag-and-drop interface is super user-friendly. Weebly also has a mobile app that lets you modify the website and make updates even without a laptop.

Cons:

There are some limited payment options when it comes to e-commerce but my team doesn’t sell that often on the website, we use it more to promote events so it doesn’t really affect us.
