What can I do with Weebly?
- Create a free website including blog facilities
- Easy drag and drop interface
- No technical skills required
- Over 70 of professional designs
- Free domain name hosting
What we found difficult with Weebly?
- Could not add tables but had to embed using HTML code
- Weebly was very slow in responding
- Uploading was slow and moving text around was difficult
- The designs menu were mostly horizontal rather than vertical and after so characters a part of the menu list was out of view
- Most of the good technologies like uploading a video were only available in the Pro edition which meant paying for it.
Easy website creation.
Weebly was named one of TIME’s 50 Best Websites of the year in 2007 and since that time made the service even more powerful, while keeping it simple. Weebly has over 3 million customers who comment that there’s really no better place to create a website online – here’s why:Start creating your site in seconds!
Powerful, Drag Drop Website Editor
The core advantage is the easy drag & drop website editor. Videos, pictures, maps, and text are added by simply dragging them to your website. We love it when new customers are totally surprised at how straightforward it is to build a website with Weebly – no HTML or technical skills required!
It’s Free
It is completely free to create and publish a website with Weebly. You can opt to buy a pro account upgrade for a small fee, or purchase your own domain, but our free service is and will remain 100% feature packed.
Hosting Included – No Restrictions
We provide the hosting so you don’t need to pay for a hosting provider. We don’t impose arbitrary bandwidth restrictions, storage caps or limits on the number of pages allowed, either. Going to be featured in the New York Times? Great! Our hosting infrastructure is backed by an army of servers that provide reliable stability for your websites – all for free!
70+ Professional Designs (or Customize Your Own)
Deciding on a look for your website couldn't be easier. We have dozens of professional designs to choose from and add more regularly. Want to bring your own? You can completely customize the template of your site, or build your own with HTML & CSS, right in the Weebly editor.
A Variety of Content Elements
If you can imagine it, you can do it with Weebly. Add pictures, videos, music and audio, documents, maps, and photo galleries. Sell products, accept online bookings, create a contact form, or arrange your pages in multiple columns. Drag on sideshows, files, forums, games, RSS feeds, or any other HTML embed code -- all by simply dragging and dropping.
Powerful Blogging Features
Post your thoughts and receive comments using our super slick blogging features. Weebly supports an unlimited number of blogs within your website, with full comment moderation features allowing an open, moderated, or closed conversation.No Annoying Advertising
There is no advertising on your site, and according to Weebly they never will. Some “free” website providers force advertising to be placed on your site, but you won't find that around here. In fact, we've even integrated with Google AdSense to allow you to easily enable advertising – as simple as entering your email address – letting you earn money from your site! Personalise by publishing your Weebly with your own Domain Name
If you already own your own domain, use it with Weebly, at no charge. You can publish to your own domain name (ie. www.example.com instead of example.weebly.com) and we’ll still host your website for free. You have the option to purchase a domain directly within Weebly which we instantly setup, or you can configure a domain that you already own! There's a whole lot more that Weebly offers you.
We're only scratching the surface of everything Weebly has to offer. Customize your favicon, set your footer message, tweak advanced SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) settings, integrate with Google Webmaster Tools, password protect pages and much more. There are countless other features we don't have room to mention here that you'll have to discover for yourself. You've made it this far – what are you waiting for?
