Weebly
Reviews and Complaints

I've used a few different web solutions in the past and happy with Weebly. I really like their design choices.

We use this site for our company, it is by far the best website for creating your own I have ever come across. Very nice set of designs.

I absolutely love weebly.com. Creating websites are often daunting but programs like this can assist even a complete noob create a professional looking website in hours. No need to know your HTML coding, etc as many gadgets are provided on this website already. All you have to do is drag and drop, that easy! Of course, if you're into HTML or like adding flash programs, you can do that to.

I love Weebly because, if I need to make a website for anything I can do it with Weebly. They have a veriety of templetes you can choose from and cool features like videos, photo galleries, maps, forums and contact forms. You can even have a blog with your website. It's easy to use HTML. All you have to do to make your site is drop and paste your information. I had made a site with Yola but find that Weebly is 10 times better and easier to work with.

I have helped many establish webpages with weebly! They were great!
They are impossible to reach by phone, email yo-yo omg! They removed all my pages after 8 years! High school page, Historical Pages with pictures that cannot retrieve! They say for $80. They will bring my page back! They have my $80. And I still have not gotten the page back! I found an email from hem in spam mail? I get weebly.com mail, or used too! These folks need to be investigated!

My site, mymmbr.tk, was made easily using Weebly. I put it together with little coding knowledge and a perfectionist personality, but I don't think there is really much left to change. With Weebly, I have been able to create many sites in a short amount of time with little to no effort. Now Weebly just came out with "Apps" that can be used to further increase the value of your site. If I had found this place before, I would have made hundreds more sites, and would probably use them for every school project I have. Weebly is great as free, and the Pro features can be found for free elsewhere if you are dedicated to having them without the cost. If you're looking for a website creator, use Weebly!

Weebly rectified any disputes in a timely manner. The web designer assigned to my project clearly spelled out the time frame of the project even while he was held in a meeting. The sequence of e-mails were misread and it was my fault for not looking carefully. Marshall the initial sales representative only briefed me on the project details but did not specif as to what type of web sites could be done in one day. The web designer determined that a real estate website would take much more time to complete and 2-3 weeks was more realistic. The hold time of 20-30 minutes was due to the high volume of calls in peak hours of operation. Weebly immediately refunded my money and requested feedback. I am satisfied with the services Weebly has to offer the general public.

Was eliminated through Microsoft Small Biz life or whatever they were called and had to bring my web pages over before they were shut down. Did not want to join their new 360 product and looked everywhere. Coudn't find any web page hosting/design that would let me do all the things I was used to. Keywords, integrate PayPal, link to other web pages, add photos, have multiple pages, name my title pages etc. I am not a pro but got my three pages switched over no problem and added three new pages. I absolutely love it. The most important part were the keywords which I can add and tailor myself as I need to AND the title pages for each of your web pages to show up on Google. I am no 1 on Google in my town just because of my keywords and web page titles. All for under $100 per year (pro member ship ? otherwise it's free). I went with the pro program to be able to have more web pages. Also to just make duplicate web pages ( I needed a lot of web presence) its so easy just copy the web page that works and get a new domain for it and you are up and running. These Yodel people called today trying to make me sign up and I just told them I don't need to pay for their service bc I am on page 1 by myself (not to mention the horrible reviews for Yodle)
Anyways, long story short. Try it for free, play with it, and upgrade to pro if you need it. It has everything to market yourself on Google and be seen.

EDITED REVIEW:
Mine is adjusted to reflect the latest changes. Pardon the caps in the title. I wish I could rate this company zero stars. File a credit card chargeback if you can.

Apparently I was recently made aware of company takeover, hence the change in the their managements and services. People complaining about Free websites further restricted in functionality and demands for payment to lift them.

However if you are still using their service, there's a chance your account would be SIMPLY BANNED WITHOUT reason. That recently happened to me, and this company shirks off responsibility. I just renewed my subscription for another 2 years earlier this year and Weebly decided to screw me over. Below is the chronicle of the incident:

1) Requested for some site assistance.
2) Received an email response on the matter. Didn't realize my account was suddenly terminated without any email warning/ notification on the same day/ the day after. Took me days later to find out.
3) Responded to the same email. Staff ceased communications with me.
4) Called their number. Ineffective, because the "policy team" doesn't take calls and they only respond via emails. You heard that right!
5) After sending a separate email, the policy team responded. Gave a cookie-cutter statement that my site(s) violated the TOS and the ban would not be lifted.
6) I sent several emails to them demanding an explanation (which sites and what terms were breached). The latest one elicited the same response. "Your sites have violated the TOS and we would not reinstate them."

Attached below is the email conversation. Let them speak for themselves.

As you can see, I was not informed that my sites were disabled and they simply did so and cut me off.

That's Weebly to you now. Messed up company.

If you're still using their service, move your site elsewhere (I highly recommend Wordpress + Elementor plugin). Don't be like me; all my hard work vanish just like that.

God knows what's going on in their minds!

FIRST REVIEW:
I migrated to Weebly from GoDaddy because of the good reviews. Initially everything went smoothly, until the editor broke itself.

Because the customer service reps do not support customized CSS (not all of us would want to stick to the preset templates), you're pretty much on your own. Whether an element deleted itself or the codes break, manual backup is the only way to avoid getting screwed. Because once that happens, there's no turning back.

Changes are irreversible and did I mention that they would stay even if they have not been published yet?

I gotta say, I had a pretty rough time with Weebly. I mean, who even are these people? Apparently they merged with some other company called Square up, but now they just go by Square? That's just confusing, man. And don't even get me started on trying to get help from their customer service. I spent over two hours on the phone with four different people, and none of them seemed to have any idea what was going on. I was on hold for like, half an hour, and when I finally asked to speak to a manager, they told me I had to write a complaint instead. So here I am.

The thing that really got me was when they sold me a domain and promised me access to free templates, but then it turned out the templates were for some other company called Square. What kind of shady business is that? I asked to cancel everything, and they did, but now my customized domain still isn't available. They told me it would be released in 3-5 business days, but that was a lie. When I followed up, they told me I had to buy their plan and domain again for at least three months if I wanted to transfer the domain. Or I could just wait a whole year for it to become available again. Are you kidding me?

Honestly, it's not even about the money for me. It's just the principle of the thing. Weebly's business model is disgusting. They just want to sell you stuff and then leave you hanging with no support. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

I recently tried out Weebly for my writing blog and I have to say, I was not impressed. There were a few things that really bothered me about the platform.

First of all, the loading time was painfully slow. It took ages just to get to the editor section, which was frustrating to say the least. And if you're using Safari, forget about it. You'll never even make it to editor mode.

Another issue I had with Weebly was the company's tendency to change features as they please. It's hard to keep up with what's available and what's not. And even worse, there are some features that should have existed a decade ago that are still missing. For example, there's no option to post images side by side, which is a huge inconvenience for anyone with more than a few photos per post. I can't even imagine how difficult it would be for someone with a photography blog.

Overall, my experience with Weebly was pretty awful. I've only used it for less than a week and I'm already looking for alternatives. It's frustrating to spend a whole day formatting a post and still not be happy with the end result.

I was surprised to see so many positive reviews of Weebly online. It just goes to show how unreliable online reviews can be. Weebly may advertise itself as the easiest website platform to use, but in reality, it's far from easy. If you're looking for a more transparent and straightforward option, I'd recommend going with Wordpress instead. It may not be easy to use, but at least you know what you're getting into and can put in the effort to make it work. With Weebly, you're just asking for frustration.

I used to have a Weebly site and it was pretty good. I connected it to my Google Workspace account and it worked fine for a while. But then a few months ago, I decided to switch to Bluehost and pointed my domain from Weebly to Bluehost. But even though my domain was pointed to my new Bluehost site, Bluehost and Register.com still said that my domain and mail were registered at Weebly. This meant that I had to do my billing through Weebly.

The problem was that Weebly didn't list my domain or my Gmail account on my account page. This made it impossible for me to renew my domain and website or obtain the EPP code to transfer the registration to Bluehost. I looked for articles on their website about this issue, but I couldn't find anything. I sent several emails to customer service, but I never got a response. There was no live chat, and since I live outside the US, I couldn't even call them.

I got zero support from Weebly, which was really frustrating. My site went down and my business mail stopped working. This was really bad for my business. Even now that my domain has expired, I can't use it with another hosting service because it's apparently still registered at Weebly. This means that I have to buy a new domain and get a new business mail, which is really unprofessional.

I wish a real human had responded to my issue because I'm sure it would have been solvable and all these problems could have been avoided. But that didn't seem to be possible with Weebly. It's really disappointing that they didn't provide any support, especially since I was a paying customer. I wouldn't recommend Weebly to anyone who needs reliable support.

I've been using Weebly for a long time, like 7 years, and I gotta say, I'm not too happy about it. I mean, I got hundreds of pages to transfer to a different system, but I just can't be bothered, you know? But if you're just starting out, don't even think about using Weebly. Trust me, it's not worth it.

First of all, if you run your Weebly website through an SEO checker, you'll see red everywhere. It's like a Christmas tree, but instead of presents, you get bad SEO. And then there are all these duplicate pages because of the way they create category URLs for the blog. Google hates these duplicates, man. It's like they're trying to sabotage your website.

And don't even get me started on page loads. They're slow as molasses. Why? Because there's no image optimiser. It's like they don't even care about your website's performance. And the worst part is, when you post to social media, the image that gets picked up is often something from the overall page template, not the one you attached to your post. It's like they're playing a cruel joke on you.

These little issues just keep piling up, year after year, and they never get resolved. Just check out their forum and you'll see all the comments asking why things haven't been fixed for years. It's like they're ignoring their users.

And if you're working with other products, like landing page builders or email systems, good luck finding integration with Weebly. It's extremely rare. That means you're often stuck with having to pay for Zapier or some other integration tool just to get your data flowing.

But the worst part of all is trying to get help from their "Support" team. It's like trying to talk to a brick wall. Most of the time, they don't even answer. And when they do, it's worse than not getting an answer at all. It's like they're actively trying to make things worse.

So yeah, Weebly is a total mess. But if you're already using it, just put up with it until you can muster the energy to transfer to a different system. Trust me, it's not worth the frustration.

I gotta say, Weebly is really getting on my nerves. I mean, I'm not a computer dummy or anything, but this website is just not working for me. I use it to manage my inventory with Square, but almost half of my items just won't save the edits I make. And it's not like there's any pattern to it - sometimes it'll save the categories but not the title or SKU, or it'll say it's saved but the changes just don't show up on my online shop. So then I have to go back in and redo everything, which is a total waste of time. And it's not like I can just ignore it, because if I don't catch the mistakes then my customers won't be able to find what they're looking for.

I've been at this for hours and I'm just so over it. I don't know what to do, because I can't keep wasting my time like this. I might have to switch to a different service altogether, which is a huge pain. It's just frustrating because I know what I'm doing, but this website is making it impossible to get anything done.

I gotta say, I've been using Weebly for a couple of years now and it's been pretty good to me. I mean, I started with a free site and it's still up and running, so that's a win in my book. But I recently tried to start another site and I gotta say, their site builder is a bit of a mess. It's clunky and hard to use, which is a bummer because I'm still on the hunt for a hosting company that can give me a clean, well-organized, and straight-forward website builder. Seems like that's a pretty rare find these days.

I know Wordpress is the go-to for a lot of people when it comes to making and maintaining a site, but let's be real, the learning curve is steep and I'm not exactly a tech genius. Weebly has a lot of options for a free site, but their drag and drop builder doesn't really let you do much. I tried to upload some photos, but it didn't want to accept them because I run a linux os and I'm assuming my photos, even though they're from smart phones, don't conform to the Weebly software. I don't remember having that problem before when I set up my previous site, so that's a bit frustrating.

And don't even get me started on resizing things on a new page. It's impossible. And their text editor only gives you the most basic options. If you're just putting up some "brochure-ware" on their free site, it's probably adequate. But if you're looking for more than that, don't expect much.

I'm not sure how easy it is to do e-commerce or to move or upgrade your website on Weebly, but even the simplest things feel difficult to me. And I don't think it has to be that way. Maybe I'm just not very adept at this stuff, but I'm just not very impressed with their website builder.

I've been using Weebly for a long time now, and I gotta say, I'm not too happy with their customer service. I used to use Homestead, but their customer service went missing, so I switched to Weebly. But now, Weebly has created a barrier that's really frustrating. They won't let me reach them without a pin number, which I've never been given. And they don't tell you how to get it, even though I'm a Pro level customer. It's really annoying.

There's no default way to contact them, except to email or create a help support ticket. But neither of those features work very well. The email just sends you to a bunch of information, and it doesn't really help. And when you click "Yes" to say that it helped, you can't actually file a support ticket. It's a mess.

If I could pull my website from Weebly today, I would. I tried to purchase two domains through them over the weekend, but there was a glitch and they lost my business to GoDaddy. And I had a client who was going to use Weebly for a new site, but I can't recommend them anymore.

I hope Weebly's greed continues to cost them business. They're a website building platform, for crying out loud. Why can't they create a streamlined, accurate, and responsive customer service protocol? It's not rocket science.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. How many customer service reps did they let go? Who knows. But I can't imagine I'm the only one experiencing these issues. Weebly needs to step up their game if they want to keep their customers.

I don't usually write reviews, but I gotta say, Weebly has been a real pain in my butt lately. As someone who knows their way around a computer, I can tell you that Weebly has really dropped the ball.

I've got a domain with Weebly that I wanted to move over to Hostinger, a more reliable hosting service. But Weebly's interface is so messed up that I can't even unlock my domain. And to make matters worse, they don't have a live chat option, so I'm stuck waiting for their slow email support to get back to me. It took them a whole week to respond to my first email, and then another week to reply to my response. And they didn't even fix the problem!

So I asked them to contact the registry to unlock the domain, since Hostinger's support team confirmed that it was still locked. But did Weebly reply? Nope. I've sent them two more emails over the past month, but I haven't heard a peep from them.

This whole mess has really hurt my brother's business, which relies on that domain. He's been without a website for two months now, all because of Weebly's lack of customer support and technical know-how.

In short, my experience with Weebly has been a total nightmare. I wouldn't recommend their service to anyone. If you're looking for a hosting service that's reliable and responsive, you're better off looking elsewhere. Weebly has been a huge headache that's just not worth the hassle.

Weebly, A Lot of Issues

I've been using Weebly since 2014 and I have to say, I'm not impressed. Recently, I found out that most of the visitors to my website were bots. I've been paying Weebly for years and now they're telling me that the people who visited my site were fake. It's frustrating because some of these bots even commented on my Facebook page, pretending to be real people.

I've filed a complaint with Weebly, but I'm not holding my breath for a response. They claim that the new numbers are coming from Google Analytics, but I'm not sure I trust that either. It seems like they just make up numbers and decide how many people are actually looking at your site.

One of the reasons my numbers have dropped is because unless someone goes searching for my website online, it's considered a bot. This means that if I post my site somewhere else and someone clicks on it, it's still considered a bot. Anthony tried to explain it to me, but I'm still confused.

To test this theory, I'm running an experiment. I'm asking my friends to click on something I posted earlier today and then come back and hit "like." I want to see if it makes a difference in my numbers.

Overall, I'm disappointed with Weebly. It's not user-friendly and it's hard to get real visitors to my site. If anyone wants to help me out with my experiment, feel free to check out my public Facebook page. Thanks.

Weebly used to be a great platform for me for the past 10 years, but ever since Square took over, it's been a nightmare. I could tell that it was going to be bad news when Square came into the picture. They're ruining everything. I'm being forced to leave the platform because of error codes that won't let me set up emails, and my website is going to be removed in just 28 days because Square is refusing to let people sign up. Even though I have a Pro Account and paid for the year, they're still kicking me off. They made sure to take my payment before telling me that I'm getting the boot.

When Square first started, they were unsecured and had a ton of hackers getting into people's accounts, including mine. Since so many hair stylists were using Square, they became popular, but the company is still no better than it was before. They have zero customer service. The guy who responded to my emails took 2 months to get back to me - 2 months! What kind of customer service takes that long to respond to a hacking issue? Meanwhile, my account was hacked and they were saying that I owed tons of money from other countries, even though my sales were in person, not online.

Because this guy wasn't addressing my issue and blew me off, they have a record that I was contacted by him and didn't respond, so now I'm banned from Square? They wouldn't even let me shut down my Square account that had my bank account number in it! This company is a joke and has ruined Weebly. Are they going to refund me the amount I paid a designer or the yearly fee I paid? I highly doubt it. Not to mention the time and effort it's going to take to transfer everything somewhere else.

Overall, I would not recommend Weebly anymore because of Square's involvement. They've ruined everything and have terrible customer service. It's not worth the hassle.

MAY 2, 2023 WEEBLY REVIEW

Weebly is the worst company. We have been dealing with this since November 2022, and it is now May 2023. The Attorney General is also involved because the crime is so outrageous. We properly and correctly disputed our Nonprofit business plan bill. Instead of fixing the issue of them not applying the nonprofit and tax-exempt status they approved previously that year, they shut us down along with our 6 other websites that had nothing to do with the disputed bill.

We finally got them to turn all the sites back on but... they deleted the bi-annual (every 2 years) subscriptions for 3 of them. Two of those sites are still paid through 2024 and there has been no refund.

But the worst is the destruction of our Nonprofit website that has been around for decades. Not only did they shut it down, and deleted the subscription but they allowed it to get hacked. Attacked so badly, that we cannot even publish the site because it will hack anyone who goes to it.

In fact, this problem has escalated to our domains and their emails being constantly blacklisted for no reason except that someone or something keeps trying to sign into our emails and domains. And this causes a red black that gets you blacklisted. Weebly denies all of this. This is NOT OKAY!

We have provided endless evidence to support our side of things. Evidence that came straight from their site and emails to us. Evidence that proves Weebly retaliated against us for disputing our bill. We properly and correctly disputed this bill by first trying to call them and discuss the matter for 3 weeks. This was an epic fail. Once the AMX bill came in, they advised that I dispute the bill as I have solid evidence that I was being overcharged.

But wait for it. Weebly's legal department told the AG that they needed an extension of time to investigate. They looked at absolutely nothing and instead told us we had to start a new subscription, with a new price, for the nonprofit and told us we had to pay for a new subscription for the other two sites, even though they are good until 2024. Where is the refund for my subscription they cancelled and are making us re-buy? By the way, if they really had investigated, they would have found their own bill on their own site under payments showing that the sites were paid for. And they would have seen that every year, we have had nonprofit status and that for the year 2022, we applied and were granted by them, nonprofit status.

Clearly, they did not bother to look at the evidence. Clearly, they think they are above the law. And clearly this is a terrorist act of retaliation for disputing a bill correctly. Clearly, this is a scam company. Clearly, they think we are just going to sit back and let this happen.

WE NEED LEGISLATION TO PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM COMPANIES THAT STEAL OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY BY SHUTTING THEIR SERVICES TO US DOWN FALSELY. WE HAVE A RIGHT AS CONSUMERS TO DISPUTE A BILL WITHOUT HAVING OUR SERVICES SHUT OFF. IF THIS WAS A UTILITY COMPANY, THEY WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DO THIS. THE SAME SHOULD APPLY FOR THESE MERCHANTS AS THIS ACT DESTROYS BUSINESSES.

On December 2, 2022, Weebly over-charged our AMX. When I called to get an explanation of why our bill had nearly doubled, they refused to provide the information or a detailed bill. On December 27, 2022, after trying for 3 weeks to get assistance and a proper bill, AMX told me to dispute it. Instead of providing the request explanation and response, Weebly shutdown all of our sites despite the bill pertaining to only our 501c3 Nonprofit. In fact, it turns out that we were right to dispute the bill as they failed to apply our Nonprofit Tax Exempt status makes us tax exempt from certain taxes and never applied the 33% off they give to nonprofits. Weebly Senior Customer Service Rep, even admitted this in a phone call and email. He told us that he had to return all monies paid so he could issue a new corrected bill. This has not been done.

While we got all of the other sites back up, the nonprofit still remains shutdown and damaged. Because of the shutdown, they left our account open and vulnerable to attack. Many of our clients who rely on our 911 Emergency Services have now had their computer hacked because they went out to our site.

We have tried to communicate with Weebly as has AMX, the AG, BBB and FTC/FCC. The damages to not only the nonprofit but the survivors of abuse that we serve is unimaginable. These people were already depressed and stressed, now having to add a hacking of their internet and computer.

I forgot my email to log into my google workplace. I have a few clients, I made professional email addresses for their websites. I would like to gain access to my google workplace so I can reactivate their email address. Weebly's interface is not the same where you could have changed it on their website. But not its redirecting you to google workspace and then you have to log in.

This company needs a serious whatsoever and someone class action or somthing. I am a professional wanted to use this for coaching and clients and courses. They marketed me a professional plan and never gave me any of the promises. the app partners never work and it is terrible. They don't even let you connect with your subscribers or email them. the apps never work and they don't care. I would like a refund or what I paid for asap. I would like to also be able to sell on a free website or personal.

My website is wayneseminoff.com and I can not access it any more.

I have contacted Weebly numerous times over the past 10 months for a recurring problem that they are never resolving. Their system keeps charging shipping wrong (either not charging it when it should, or charging it when it shouldn't). I have tried to resolve this repeatedly via their customer service, which never goes anywhere. I have asked to speak to managers, which also never goes anywhere. I am on a paid plan with Weebly. There are also other bugs in their system, such as charging sales tax when it shouldn't.

I went through Weebly yesterday to add a Testimonial statement to my Website and hit the Publish button a number of time, When I went to my Testimonial Web page today the added text was NOT there!

I tried calling for technical support and was told to ask for an 8-digit PIN through Help. Webbly.com but when I went to Contact Us, the only option was a Chat box to which NO ONE IS Responding!

I want real customer satisfaction! Please contact me ASAP.

Hello I have try on many time to contact this company and cancel the membership but they continue to give you the run around and I have yet to do so. I do not recommend anyone using this site. If someone wants out of a membership they shouls allow you too. I only used it for a day it was suppose to be a 10 days trial but they charged my credit card 5 days later.

Website - on 3/29/2021 I purchased a domain name & began to build a website. I put in the domain name and was directed to purchase the domain name again. I followed the instructions the first time. Was sent an email. Verified it. The second day went through the same steps. Next, was asked online sales info. I don't sell a product. I sell a service. Choose website only. Then was given the option to purchase the domain name again.
I reached out for help on 3/29/2021 & 3/30 & 4/1.
No response. I was send an email to verify my email.
Seriously Unhappy.
I expect Weebly & Square to do what they say they do.
