Pros And Cons of Weebly
Weebly Pros |
Weebly Cons |
Templates restrict where you can put images, text, page items |
You cannot freely drag pictures or text or header/footer all over like in Wordpress |
VERY easy editor!! |
Sometimes persnickey how how to grab and release objects in editor |
We can paste chunks of HTML in pages by using "embed" |
NA |
Weebly is $150 per year but Siteground is $300 |
NA |
Weebly CAN restore a page that was deleted. |
Weebly CANNOT revert to a previous version of a page. |
Themes prevent objects being placed in areas of grid that look bad |
Themes all seem to have the same layout |
A button in editor lets you preview site changes as if you were using a deskop OR a phone!! |
NA |
There are "apps" that can extend functionality (fancy things for site like events calendars, animations). These won't stop working with our theme as can happen in siteground with plugins - they can break with any Wordpress update. |
These apps are not cheap! |
Chat support during week day is pretty darn good. |
My guess is support during off hours is not as good. |
Has lots of Youtube tutorials. |
The tutorials could become out of date as Weebly will roll out new/different editing tools over time. We cannot opt out. |
