Weebly

Weebly is an AJAX website creator that allows you to create pages with template skins and content widgets. Users can easily drag-and-drop content widgets like pictures, text, video and Google Maps in WYSIWYG-fashion. They also have a new blogging platform that can be added to the navigation bar of your personal Weebly page.

Weebly has opened up its API to outside developers so they can create embeddable widgets for both the Weebly pages and blog platform. Users can track their site traffic and stats on their Weebly dashboard. Users can also promote their sites by emailing their friends and posting to Facebook and StumbleUpon through the Weebly dashboard.

Weebly is a Y Combinator startup.

Launch DateAugust 16, 2007

Weebly lets users add blogs to their existing Weebly sites. All you have to do is go to the “Pages” tab on your Weebly site’s dashboard and click “Add blog” and you’re off to the races. From there, users can easily integrate drag-and-drop widgets, pictures and videos to their blog posts. You write blog posts the same way you create Weebly site pages, in WYSIWYG-fashion.

The blog platform sidebar has all the usual suspects including author bio, archiving, categories and RSS feeds. The blog platform uses AJAX, which allows you to easily move content around and edit the design.

I have been asking Weebly to remove a webpage about me that is full of lies, difamatory and illegal. This page was set up by somebody that has a grudge against me. I have sent no less than 10 emails to their abuse department only to get 3 automated "do not reply"-responses from them. Emails sent to their support department or info departments also go by unanswered or ignored. Except in one case where I was told to send the email to the abuse-address (the robot monitored address). Weebly is not a serious company and should be avoided at any cost. There are better companies out there, that DO care.

I agree with "Joe". It seems they don't give any guarantees whatsoever for the service, and they say they may at their own discretion delete websites. So I wouldn't put any valuable information there. The tools are good, but the service stinks.

Weebly might be good, but there is a lot of offensive material on weebly. And the support/abuse department there is non-existent. It is practically impossible to get an offensive webpage removed. Until they get their act together, I think they should be avoided.

Weebly is a fantastic website creator, it is so easy to use and produces a professional looking site. I wanted to ask Craig in the post below if he feels it is worth changing the domain name.

I created a website using Weebly and changed the domain to www.redfoxmarketing.co.uk . I am pretty happy with the results. I only took me a couple of hours to do.

I have used weebly to make a real cool site, link above. Very happy with it, very easy to use. i am a non techo, so this is as easy to use as Blogger, but comes out looking like a proper site, pages and more flexibility. Go weebly! I have made 3 sales in my first 2 weeks, which I am very happy about.

I made my website in 2007 and with the professional and FREE help fromm weebly i could get that design I allways wanted. Chanche almost everything if you want to do that. A little help from html and the fantastic invention weebly made my website legendaric!

I agree with Cameron. Weebly looks pretty but it isn't as comprehensive as comfypage. If you want to do some exciting things with your website I'd go for comfypage.

ComfyPage is a website creator that is more comprehensive than weebly. Still easy to use. http://comfypage.com/.

this site is the best so far even though i don't quite understand how to use it

I used weebly to create a website that I could hand over to non-techie University students. It was really easy to use for me and them. Brilliant!

I think weebly is one of the best web creator but if it had a free domain name i would say it is world most best website creator.
