Weebly, now part of Square, is a beginner-friendly drag-and-drop website builder with integrated Square e-commerce, hosting, and basic marketing tools.
Small business owners, freelancers, bloggers, and solopreneurs who want an easy, no-code way to launch a website, blog, or online store, now backed by Square's commerce and payments ecosystem.
A browser-based drag-and-drop site builder with free hosting, a built-in blog engine, integrated e-commerce/shopping cart, contact form tools, and baseline SEO features like sitemaps and meta descriptions; the free plan runs on a Weebly subdomain with Square branding.
You sign up and edit your site live in the browser by dragging content elements (text, photos, video, forms) into a template, with real-time changes and nothing to install; upgrading to a paid plan (Personal, Professional, or Performance) adds a connected custom domain, removes Square ads/branding, and unlocks deeper e-commerce and stats capabilities.
