One of the best user-friendly sitebuilders on the web

Weebly is by far the best website editor I've used since I started having interest in owning a website. The editor is very user friendly and its quite easy to set up multiple webpages; although the hyperlink has a .weebly.com tag in it, Weebly can be a great start if you're looking to build a website and don't know too much HTML and coding; highly recommend!There are a couple things that may need changing though. There's a lot of white space in the side margins of the website, and this may differ depending on the monitors used; despite how much content you may have on that webpage, everything on the website is centered to the middle of the page (it would be nice to edit the side margins to remove that white space.Another thing with enabling a custom domain, and enabling SSL security for it, is that the tutorial I feel is slightly outdated; ended up contacting GoDaddy support to find out how to set it up as the tutorial for it on Weebly didn't help much.It would also be nice to edit the mobile version of the website as the difference between the desktop version and mobile is crazy; its very squished and images for some reason appear enlarged compared to the desktop version. It doesn't look very appealing on mobile.My final note is that its quite expensive to enable all features of the website. It's not too bad to remove Weebly's ads and enable a custom domain with GoDaddy (or another similar provider), but again, make sure you're able to afford the upgrade
Pros
> Easy to use> Updates new changes quickly on the website> Multiple available apps to integrate, and easy to apply or remove from the editor> Customer support is reliable> No limitations to how much content you can have on the website> Settings easy to configure> Multiple options to set up custom domains> Multiple theme options to choose from (although more options/layouts could be better)> Ability to change defaults for fonts, font colour, style and size in theme options> Easy to "clean up" the website to look appealing
Cons
> Expensive to unlock all features for the site (including ecommerce, removing Weebly's ads, custom domain, etc.)> A lot of white space on the side margins of the editor, especially if the website is slightly zoomed out.> Setting up a custom domain using GoDaddy or another provider is a slightly tedious process to finish - with another owned website and domain, it took around 3-4 days to enable SSL security.> You're not able to edit the mobile version of the website

Weebly Needs To Solve SSL Problem
Reviewed on 05/02/2024
Pros
My website was built and published on Weebly over 12 years ago. I have updated and changed the content countless times over the years. Everything worked seamlessly until recently. The SSL certification for the site is no longer recognized by my web host and all the fixes put forth by Weebly do not work. This has forced me to build my site on a different platform.
Cons
I have spent several hours on the phone with Weebly's customer support trying to fix the SSL certification problem with no luck, forcing me to move my site to a different website building platform.
Reasons for Switching to Weebly

I began using Weebly as early as 2008 when creating my very first brand presence online. I used Weebly to create a beautiful website with photos of my handmade products. It was very easy to create and became even easier to use as the years went on from 2008 to about 2019. When Weebly added the addition of password protected pages, memberships, and e-commerce, they were truely ahead of the game in terms of an all one solution and and a solution that presented absolute ease. I have created blogs, e-commerce sites and even membership areas with Weebly. As an experienced user, I even taught Weebly to new business owners in my community from 2016-2018. I used to exclusively use and recommend Weebly for almost anything, but these items make me consider other options now depending on the project. My experience with Weebly overall has been good and very business empowering. That said, these days there are solutions that seem like they are more supported and get more frequent updates than Weebly.
Pros
Weebly is still by far one of the most, if not the easier, fastest way to get a beautiful website up knowing it will look good on both desktop and mobile right out of the gate.
Cons
Since Weebly was purchased by Square / Squareup, there have been few updates to the Weebly platform itself and it's apps. This means that some of the features on Weebly such as apps are outdated or no longer work correctly. In addition, it can be tricky to start and log-in to Weebly now without being redirected to Square. This is very confusing especially for someone new to website creation.
