This is great for a quick, easy website to share with clients; as a teacher I used it to maintain my classroom newsletter and keep parents informed of what was going on in the classroom.

Basic functions are fairly limited, which was fine for me, but others may seek a more complex structure.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have an easier time communicating with parents and students. It is easy to maintain and quick to update when I'm low on time.

"Great for starting out"
What do you like best about Square Online?

Weebly is very easy to use! Simply select a template among their provided outlines and you can have a website up in no time. If you do not want to pay a premium, there is only a small ad at the bottom of pages indicating the provider (Weebly). If you want a site up in minutes, Weebly is a great solution.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

The premium option is a bit steep at $8 so keep this in mind when considering upgrading.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

From a business standpoint, Weebly gives you the ability to download your source code. This is great for developers who nay just want to get a quick template up and running. For learning to code, it is also a great resource.

"Gets a website up and going easily, easily managed by Amature"
What do you like best about Square Online?

I like the ease of use from start to publish. You can literally build a solid good looking website in under a day, which isn't the case for other platforms I have used. The interface is ideal for beginners and can be very good for someone just starting out. The sign up is free and the free websites do offer quite a bit of freedom for the user, but the Pro platform is overall a better option for someone using it regularly and updating often.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

I dislike that it can't have direct publishing from other software such as Hootsuite, etc. I also had difficult verifying with certain social media outlets that the website was in fact mine because it was not easily to load code into since its a visual drag and drop platform with little to no code interaction.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

I originally had a website through Wix, and it was difficult to update the blog section wasn't easily verifiable or flexible enough for my needs. Wordpress required a bit more coding than I am comfortable with so Weebly was the perfect inbetween. I have since found that I like the overall quality in the pre-established designs and the ability to track the views to location including seeing the "bots" that frequent my site.

"SQUARE WEBSITE CAPABLE"
What do you like best about Square Online?

I like that you can start with the free version and upgrade at a low cost. It's, also, easy to purchase a domain directly through the e-commerce. And, if you're familiar wirh weebly, already, then it's fairly easy to use.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

My biggest dislike is that a lot of features that were available through weebly are not available through e-commerce. And, going through e-commerce isn't as user friendly.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm able to reach a broader audience and sell my inventory across the country.

"Easy to use for beginners!"
What do you like best about Square Online?

It is easy to set up a page. I started with a basic free site 5 years ago. Now I have upgraded to having a membership site. My clients can now access special pages with a password. You can easily customize what you want to include.

I haven't had an issue during the last 5 years.

I can easily manage my own webpage . I enjoy changing my pages with what I am focusing on for the season. I can easily switch what I want to show. I also enjoy giving my clients special access to private pages.

"A web builder easy to use "
What do you like best about Square Online?

This Weebly platform differs in its simplicity compared to the competition, is designed for people who do not want to spend time designing a website or simply have no knowledge to design a page from scratch. The entire platform has a large functional unit that focuses on drag and drop elements to place them where you want. This is an advantage over Wordpress.org or Wix that while intuitive are not designed to offer a 100% friendly experience. With more than 70 templates offers a wide range of options to suit the needs of the consumer, the times I have used these designs have had good impact by the modern and fluid design. An interesting feature and that many CMS or e-commerce site builders is the facility to change templates without having to upload the content again. Building a site with Weebly is very easy with drag and drop as you can choose the elements and leave them fixed where you want and just give a big blue button to publish the advances as you progress in the design of the page. The statistics are adequate to the plan you buy and in the free plan are not very reliable, you must buy some plan to get reliable and more comprehensive visitor statistics. The free option is limited because it does not allow you to add text or audio, you will have to buy some of the plans that stand out are very cheap and affordable. The features are very comfortable and you save time to have a domain name, SEO capacity, monetization, visitor statistics, ample storage space and backup capabilities that although they are deficient, if they exist within the platform.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

I could not move elements to certain places on the website because it is not allowed, the drag and drop function is very useful but in certain places of the website is not possible to place elements, I'm sure Weebly solve this problem in future versions. Also it would be interesting to be able to modify completely the themes that come by default, for example it would be useful to be able to change the colors of the whole template, for now those are the biggest drawbacks that I have been presented in Weebly.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a simple application in the selection of elements to integrate in e-commerce pages, practically you do not need to worry about domains or installations. Everything is included in Weebly so you can choose the great collection of templates and designs. When editing the e-commerce page you will have some limitations but for the monthly price of their memberships, weebly does its job.

"I picked it to sell things on my website"
What do you like best about Square Online?

I'm able to sell things. The design is straightforward but does not look very inviting. I liked Wordpress but there wasn't a way to sell merchandise on my website so I chose Weebly instead.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

The format is confusing and things I post don't appear as I expected it.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have not sold anything and I'm considering not using Weebly anymore because I'm not selling anything. But I have not really done enough blogging so I could.

"Great for starting out a personal website"
What do you like best about Square Online?

I enjoy many things about the weebly account software. I think that It is good for starting out a personal website if you are showing your content that you make or do for the company you work for.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

I dislike that you need to need to upgrade to get rid of the weebly logo at the bottom. You also must have'.weebly.com" at the end of ur site link to ur website url.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

This is great for a personal employees website, unless you upgraded then you could use for the company website itself.

"Simple and user friendly website developer to build websites for small businesses."
What do you like best about Square Online?

Weebly is extremely user friendly. It has all basic functionalities required to build a simple website. It has abundant templates. The templates are highly customizable too.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

Weebly lacks artificial design intelligence thus you cannot automate most of your repetitive tasks. Its drag and drop for designing the website is also very limited. It does not provide a personal restore option either.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

Weebly is SEO friendly. Weebly app center allows you to add multiple apps to your site to increase its productivity. It helps you design websites that are mobile devices friendly as well.

"Decent for building simple pages"
What do you like best about Square Online?

Weebly is a nice option for creating simple websites. There are many prebuilt options and a drag and drop builder so it allows for quick building without coding. Mobile responsive sites are built automatically when create a standard website and this is quite convenient. Preview links are automatically generated to provide to clients so they may preview a page build. It is eay to make quick edits to the website and set live.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

It is hard to create custom objects or views that you are looking for that are outside of the prebuilt templates. This can make it difficult to keep the page updated when using embedded content. The Youtube prebuilt widget is very restrictive and does not include an option to display your latest uploads.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

Simple quick websites are built quickly and able to deliver.

"Simple & Easy Website Creation"
What do you like best about Square Online?

It's pretty simple to create your own website with the point and click interface. It's great for basic sites and saves you a lot of time and work. I'm not sure about the eCommerce features as I don't use them. I think it's a solid product worth taking a look at.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

I'd like more design options but it gets the job done. I wish the accounts and permissions worked better as I found them to be limited when you have multiple content contributers. I don't use it daily as we don't update the site very often.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

Fast website setup and easy updates. We needed to create a site easily and quickly and we had heard about Weebly. It was very easy to setup and we had something working fairly quickly. I would recommend this site to others.

"Very Good Easy-To-Use Site Builder"
What do you like best about Square Online?

I absolutely hate web design. That is the reason why I am so open to using sites such as Weebly because it is pretty much a drag and drop process. This is extremely important to me since I have such little time (and patience) to design a site the traditional way.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

I really wish they would give the free version a few more liberties. However I do understand why they limit free account users.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was using my Weebly site for a portfolio.

if you want to change the color of a specific spot in the page, backdrop image, or content frame size, you will have to alter the code manually.
