Disadvantages of Using Weebly to Build Websites

[Mika]

Creating a website on Weebly is very easy and simple. All you need to do is use your mouse to drag and drop images, graphics, slideshows, products, etc. without the need to use any code. The easy-to-use interface makes it an ideal choice for the newbie. But this does not mean Weebly is a super perfect website builder. There are many disadvantages.

Too simplistic design: Weebly websites look too simple. Weebly websites are not as good as Wix websites or even Squarespace websites. That’s because Weebly’s templates don’t offer you variety. There are limited templates available, and you have a lot of choices. For example, you don’t get single-page scrolling design, parallax (which is very popular these days), page transitions (such as sliding effects), /background video players, etc. Weebly keeps everything too simple, so you might have to go to other website builders if you want advanced options and features.

Limited Customization Options: Weebly offers limited customization options, there is nothing to explore as with other website builders or WordPress. You can only do simple things like changing colors, changing fonts, etc. You can change the background color, menu color, adjust content width, etc. If you want to do more than that you will have to modify templates codes, which is possible only when you have programming skills.

One of the major complains with Weebly is that its blogging functions are very simple, simple not in a sense of easy to use but in a sense that it is prosaic. If you want functions like related posts, popular posts, latest posts, etc. you have limited options for customization. In fact, Weebly has yet to implement these functionality in its platform. Weebly offers basic functionality such as social sharing buttons, the drag and drop feature, and post scheduling option. In my opinion, related posts, popular posts, new posts should be must in any blogging platform. Weeby is too simplistic.

Is weebly easy to use? Yes, it is very easy to use. You can build your website in 30 minutes because everything can be done by dragging and opping, including text box, image box, etc. Your website will build in front of your eyes with a live preview, which means if it does not look good you can immediately revert back or use another design. The best part, you do not have to code. Just like on wordpress, you do not have to flip back and forth within editing mode and preview mode. But weebly is expensive than wordpress website. When you use wordpress, you can reduce the cost with hosting,

Weebly I know most website owners install survey templates to Weebly website and you have to earn 60 points of the survey to get your job approved or even complete human verification (in mostly download the app) then to copy PCODE on the redirection file and mention it for auto approbation or something like that.

Despite the fact that there are a few advantages of suing weebly, there are many disadvantages of suing weebly as well. For example, they only accept payments through debit cards or credit cards if you wish to buy domains. Moreover, they have also removed all old themes for free domains. Despite the fact that they allow users to upload custom themes, it is not so easy to set up those themes because they require you to be a tech savvy and have knowledge about CSS. This is something not all people have. Sometimes their support service might also take much longer than usual to respond to tickets and this may cause problems for people who seek urgent support. But I think they offer phone support. However, not all the people would opt to call them!

If you want to use ads on weebly, you need a pro plan. Free plan does not allow advertising. When you are using free plan, weebly places its logo on the bottom of the page, but for pro plans weebly ad is removed. Free plan will give you a subdomain and using a subdomain for a site does not look professional You can get a free domain of your choice if you go with pro plan, but you will have to pay for domain renewal from the second year. You can choose any domains you want for example a dot com, dot net, dot co dot uk, .ca, etc. It also allows you to import your own domain to be used with your site.

There are many disadvantages of using Weebly to build websites.
The first disadvantage is that the templates are not flexible enough to meet your needs, which can make designing a website very difficult. It is also difficult to update and improve your website once it has been built with Weebly.

The second disadvantage is that you cannot use any third-party tools on your website, which means that you will have to spend time learning how to use them instead of building your site.

The third disadvantage is that Weebly does not offer unlimited hosting plans, so if you want more space or bandwidth than what they provide then you will have to pay extra.

Additionally, there are some security concerns when using Weebly because the platform uses custom HTML code instead of WordPress plugins. This means that if someone were to hack into your website, they could access any files on your server and do whatever they wanted with them—which would be bad.

Weebly is a popular website builder that allows users to create and customize their own websites. However, there are some disadvantages to using Weebly to build websites.

One disadvantage of using Weebly is that you can't use your own domain name. Instead, you have to use a Weebly-provided domain name, which can make your website look less professional.

Another disadvantage of using Weebly is that you are limited in terms of design and functionality. You can't add your own code or plugins, and you are limited to the templates and features that Weebly offers.

Finally, Weebly can be expensive. If you want to remove Weebly branding from your website or add advanced features, you have to pay for a premium plan.

Overall, Weebly is a good website builder for those who are just starting out. However, if you want more control over your website, you may want to consider another platform.
