Weebly is one of the better free self-hosted do-it-yourself drag-and-drop web-based website builders out there. It provides a way to easily and visually build a beautiful and powerful website (based on a pre-selected theme) for your business without needing to know how to code or hire an expensive website design expert. Simply drag an object (like an image) onto the page. Then, to create a column, simply drag another object (like a text box) to the left or right of the 1st. However, if you do know html, Weebly allows you to have access to the html / css for additional customization capabilities. Addition pros and cons are as follows:
ProsThe pros of using Weebly to build your website is the ability to visually design a website via a drag and drop website builder – no coding required. The templates available are beautiful, and mobile friendly - indicative of what is expected of websites today. There are also numerous types of pre-made layouts, objects and apps that can be added to make your website powerful and one of a kind.

ConsThe cons of using Weebly is at the end of the day – it is still a self-hosted web-based website builder. That is to say you are still relying on Weebly to be a host that is fast and secure with awesome customer service. In addition, it is yet another program that does have a learning curve to maximize its effectiveness. After all, you have better things to do – like run your business.

The largest limitation of using a do-it-yourself web-based website builder is the learning curve. Each tool has its own quirks and capabilities to master to maximize its potential. Weebly is no different. Instead of using your valuable time trapped behind a computer learning new software, why not use your time more effectively running your business and hire someone who could build you a better website at an affordable rate.

Another downside to using any self-hosted web-based website builder is that if for any reason you become dissatisfied with the host due to performance of it as a host or staff customer service, and you want to leave, you cannot take your website with you. It must be rebuilt from scratch with your new host of choice. If you are sure Weebly is for you (I have no reason to think otherwise – yet), then read on...
