Pros Weebly allocates a wide array of website builder and eCommerce tools in one space. It only involves drag-and-drop to create and design websites without coding. Availability of built-in SEO services is another great aspect that I like most about Weebly. Cons Weebly rarely pose bugs on my end while creating and designing websites and landing pages.

Pros It's easy to use, even for a beginner. I can create great looking websites, format photos and text easily, embed code and widgets, and customize everything I need to. Cons If a photo has the same name and another photo you've used, it may display the correct photo on the builder but the wrong photo on the live web site.

Has powerful security features too. Pros Weebly starts with key fundamentals like site layout, navigation and text. New layout styles gives us the flexibility to show off our items in a variety of ways. Cons Weebly expertly and consistently give a satisfying experience. Nothing serious worth highlighting. Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Weebly is cheaper and gives a wider customization options. Review Source Lois O. Head Copywriter Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "There are no real advantages to using Weebly" August 27, 2024 1.0 Overall Weebly was a good introduction to web design but I wouldn't recommend anyone using it long term. Play around with it if you must. But there are so many better alternatives - your time would be better spent learning to build on WP. Pros It's relatively easy to use for someone who's never built a website before. Also, the pricing is budget-friendly. Cons It feels really clunky and old fashioned.. it's so glitchy. Often doing something simple like adding a header takes 1-2 minutes. It's just not worth the hassle compared to other web builders. Also the ability to customize the designs is really limited and the support is total rubbish, don't even bother trying to contact them. Alternatives considered [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/)[Squarespace](https://www.capterra.com/p/143461/Squarespace/) Reason for choosing Weebly I chose Weebly due to its low price point and recommendations from others in the industry. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director of Web & App Development Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Weebly may be the best website builder for churches and small businesses!" May 24, 2022 5.0 We are extremely pleased with Weebly. After using Wordpress for many years previously and dealing with the broken code (quite often) it is definitely a blessing to be able to not have to worry about our site having a meltdown with a forced update. Pros It's a very intuitive product. But the ease of setup and the fact that you don't have to manage the site from a server standpoint is great. We love how easy it is to work with and how professional and elegant a website it has been for us. We like to keep our website up-to-date and current (sometimes by season) and Weebly allows us to do that without a huge outlay of cost. Cons There is really no way to recover deleted content. You can recover a page if it has been deleted but if text or images have been deleted you can not undo that. It hasn't been a huge issue for us at our church but for some other churches that we've assisted in building for them they have had issues with an editor "accidentally" deleting all of the content from a page and not being able to recover it. Alternatives considered [Squarespace](https://www.capterra.com/p/143461/Squarespace/) Reason for choosing Weebly Previous experience with Squarespace. It was not as intuitive as we would like and Weebly just worked so well. Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Our Wordpress site was built by an agency and was very expensive to make even minor aesthetic improvements. Weebly gives us the ultimate flexibility to make the changes that our leadership requires and at an extremely reasonable rate. Review Source CS Cedric S. Director Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for those who can make alot from a little " June 16, 2023 5.0 Overall Weebly is very cost effective and easy to navigate. This is great starter website for all who need a digital footprint online. For those who are more advanced it allows you to set up a secure website as well. Pros One of the luxuries is this product is that it is free. This website provides different themes to start you off and then you build from there. They make it easy to embed different links like payment buttons and pictures you want displayed. You can change colors, add text, titles and themes. Overall any administrator with a creative eye should be able to navigate this site. Cons My main irritant about Weebly is the "powered by Weebly"water mark that remains on every page. Everyone who visits your page will know your site is through Weebly. Also there are not many themes when getting started. You have a few to get started with but it's up to you to make it original. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Reason for choosing Weebly It was more cost effective. It started off as just trying it out until the website actually started looking good. Review Source CE Christian E. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great to use to start a first time website " February 14, 2025 4.0 Overall the experience has been pleasant even though there was a disruption on how the service was provided. Pros The old weebly before the buyout was easy to use and the customer service was extremely helpful. It's gotten better over the years but it's still hard to use with the changes. Cons The cost dramatically went up when it was bought out. Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Wix was not powerful enough at the time. Review Source NM Natalie M. Product Designer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use" November 22, 2024 4.0 Overall Good. I could set up my portfolio site and manage it quite easily. Pros Easy to use and set up. I could create pages and layouts quite easily and it certaily offers more templates today than in the past. Cons At some point it merged Squarespace and the login became confusing. I had to move to a more flexible web builder, but I can recommend Weebly for quick and easy set up. Review Source NL Natasha L. COO Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Website creation in a flash" November 16, 2024 5.0 Pros It is so easy to create and manage a website with Weebly with the latest features available. Cons I do not have any issues with Weebly and using it regularly. Review Source SH Sadie H. Owner operator Cosmetics Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Website builder for the everyman" April 7, 2025 4.0 Overall it’s not a bad website builder to use especially if you are just starting out. Pros It helped me get started with my e-commerce website. Cons It’s not highly customizable and I have had issues with page updates. Review Source pR peter R. Web designer Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use!" July 2, 2025 4.0 Pros loved the drag and drop tools and professional designs. it was simple to make a professional looking website but had all the tools I needed. Cons some of the watermarks and .Weebly web addresses can be frustrating for new users or those using the free version. Review Source AA Adegboyega A. Ticketing Agent Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ticketing Agent Views on Weebly Platform " July 8, 2024 5.0 Search engine optimization for our website is the main benefit. Pros Availability of robust eCommerce features which makes it easy to set online stores is what I like most about Weebly. Cons Even though pricing range from $10, some products such as domains are quite expensive. Review Source CA Crystal A. Founder Writing and Editing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Create your website or blog with ease using Weebly" October 4, 2024 5.0 I created a website with ease using Weebly. However, I decided to change the WordPress, not too long after building my website and blog. Pros I really liked the tools provided by Weebly to build your own website or blog. It was super easy to build on with the tools that are provided. Cons There was nothing I didn’t like about the platform. Review Source EO Eniola O. Marketing lead Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Free website builder" December 16, 2024 5.0 Pros You can create a nice website in a short amount of time. Cons I wish there were more customisable templates Review Source VP Victoria P. Practice Manager Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Weebly for the win!" August 12, 2024 4.0 My overall experience has been great and truly don't have any complaints. Pros I like Weebly but I wish it was a little more user friendly. I am not great at website design so it may be a user issue! Cons Wish they offered more up to date tutorials to help. Review Source EH Eric H. Web Developer Sports Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good quick free website for beginners " August 16, 2024 5.0 Good when figured out Great for beginners. Pros Easy to follow and navigate with smooth platform. Cons Long website name created. Figuring out how each page works. Review Source BH Balazs H.

Cons I don't have any of negative experiences about the app. Review Source Gregory H. Chief Creative Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Will the Real Weebly Please Stand Up" November 4, 2021 3.0 Weebly is an easy and predicable $300m plug in for Square. Just plug and plan until you get bored or go out of business. Pros After the $300m purchase of Weebly by Square, I was so excited. Having been an initial beta tester of Square, I immediately saw the potential of eCommerce if a robust and flexible platform could be developed and implemented. While I am not privy to the sale negotiations of Weebly, I have often wonder why Weebly was chosen. Is it Weebly or is it Square? The lack of clarity shows in the manner in which the program has been implemented at Square. What I like about Weebly is that it is still Weebly. Square has opted not to influence the Weebly platform so it is easy to use if you are familiar with its capabilities. Weebly is a humongous plug in for Square. If you understand this Weebly is a piece of cake to use as part of Square as it is only an extension. Cons I am disappointed that none of the genius of Square can be found in the Weebly by Square. It is like Weebly moved into the house as a foster child and Square has no desire to adopt. That is ok for some, but Weebly could grow up to be an amazing program in the lineup of platforms. Sadly its adolescence is endless in its current custodial care. Review Source JM Jonathan M. Growth Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Decent, but not the best." July 14, 2022 3.0 Overall, Weebly has served us well. At the same time, we have moved our storefront off of the platform and onto the Wix platform because it's just a superior option. For a basic, small-business website platform, I think Weebly is fine, but as we have grown and our needs have become more robust, we have needed to move to the Wix platform. Pros Weebly is extremely easy to use for a novice designer. If you're looking to get up and running quickly, you can do so with this platform. However, if you need to expand your website offerings or need something much more robust with databases, forms, and a storefront, you might consider other options. Cons Weebly is a relatively easy-to-use CMS platform but its template options are significantly lacking. However, there are a lot of companies that provide templates you can install on the Weebly platform, but it will require some technical know-how. I would also say that Weebly has not kept up with website trends as quickly as other CMS providers like WP, Wix, and Squarespace. Review Source Similar Products Featured
