What users say
Pros
- Own HTML and CSS paste straight into pages, and complete sites can be duplicated or downloaded for backup.
- Pages get built by dragging elements into place, so a working site launches without writing any code.
- Long-standing sites carry on working, with an e-commerce store running seven years and old blogs still loading.
- One account holds several sites at once, and grandfathered plans cover up to ten separate websites.
- Blogs with thousands of pages stay tidy and editable inside the same drag-and-drop editor.
Cons
- The platform stopped improving years ago: templates look a decade old, social widgets still list Google+ and Yahoo.
- The editor freezes mid-edit, refuses to save or publish, and pages turn messy overnight without any change.
- Accounts get locked or shut down without warning, taking live sites offline with no way back in.
- Messages about failed publishes and broken contact forms get scripted replies, and sites stay down for weeks.
- Payments keep leaving closed accounts, and refunds confirmed in writing are refused months later.
- Moving a site off Weebly means rebuilding pages by hand, because no conversion tool exists and zip backups arrive incomplete.
