About Weebly

Weebly is a website builder that lets people create sites, blogs and online stores without coding. Users start from customizable themes and use drag-and-drop editing to build pages, then publish them with a domain. The platform is now part of the Square product suite.

For selling online, Weebly provides e-commerce tools for order management, shipping and payments, with Square handling payment processing so shops can also sell at pop-ups or in person. Integrated marketing tools include Facebook ads and automated email campaigns, an App Center adds extensions, and an SEO guide and help center support site owners.

Weebly is a hosted commercial product that advertises a free website builder alongside paid plans, and its site includes an option to transfer an existing domain. It cannot be self-hosted.
