"Best Website Creator"
What do you like best about Square Online?

Weebly is incredibly intuitive. Their interface is a simple drag and drop - drag a text box icon then start typing, or drag an image icon and click to upload your image. You can easily add more complex features like a slideshow, poll, or audio.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

Some of the designs are a bit clunky; the header takes up a large portion of the page and you can't really fit so many page links on the top. With many designs, you can only link three pages before the rest are under an ellipses that leads to a dropdown list.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use weebly in many different ways. Myself and many of my colleagues use Weebly to host our portfolios, because it is a professional way to upload exemplary work I have done and add my own commentary. I also use it in the classroom; because it is so simple to use, I assign projects where students create websites through Weebly. They love engaging with it and it enhances the learning process tenfold.

"Need a website? Doesn't get easier!"
What do you like best about Square Online?

Clean and straightforward building tools.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

If you want intricate, might feel clumsy

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a site, and didn't want to pay someone to build something they wanted, and then the ongoing updating and maintenance as time went on. Weebly has amazing templates to start from, easy to use editor, and great stats to get a sense of how many customers are finding us.

"Creates an Aesthetically Pleasing Website "
What do you like best about Square Online?

I like how you are able to choose from a variety of layouts. Each looks very professional. I also like how you can easily add your own text boxes, pictures, videos, embedded documents, blogs, and forums. The how-to videos are very helpful as well. In addition, the help center offers tips on how to use certain features of the site. It's also interesting to see how many views per day your website receives.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

One thing I wish the edit part of the site had is an undo button. If I make a lot of changes and then want to go back to what I had before, the only thing I can do is exit out and hope I didn't already publish the page. Another thing I dislike is the cost to upgrade in order for users to sign-in with a password. There should be a discount for teachers.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use this the free version of this site for my classroom. I have created a classroom webpage where I upload announcements and weekly newsletters. Parents love the easy access. I have also used this site to create a WebQuest lesson. This turned out looking amazing because of all of the photos and embed links I was able to add. In addition, I created a voting website for a fundraiser where people could vote on what t-shirt design they liked best. There are so many possibilities for the types of sites that can be created with Weebly.

"Great tool for all"
What do you like best about Square Online?

The most important thing with Weebly was creating an e-portfolio of my brand. I used it to showcase my work examples and teach students how to create a portfolio. It is easy to manage your site and update it in minutes.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

Storing documents and uploading them was not clear to me. When stored in different spaces my documents loose links to them and it is not easy to update all the links.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

Weebly helps me to showcase my work.

"Easy to Jumpstart Your Business"
What do you like best about Square Online?

The best feature is editing the website. I've had trouble editing websites in the past, but this makes it so much easier. I like that it shows you exactly where you can drag and drop widgets or other sections on a page. My website is used as a business center for my writing, so it's extremely important that I'm able to put my work into concise areas that make it easier for readings. I also love the comment and submission feature, as it makes it easier to see who is interacting on my website.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

The price is something that turns me off from making Squarespace my primary website builder. The price seems fair for the high quality, but I wish they offered more options based on how you would use your site. The accessibility of editing the site is really well done, but I wish there could be a little bit more flexibility in where you can move text boxes and other content. I'd like to see more widgets you can add too and make those easier to move around on your pages.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was having difficulty finding a sleek, modern, and professional-looking site builder. A lot of them were clunky to edit and a pain. Squarespace is by far my favorite website builder because it fixed all these problems. It will definitely be the first platform I will think of in the future when I want to start a website for my small business. I find it's also great for personal sites and blogs. A lot of people I know use Squarespace and are super happy with it.

"Creating an Instructor Website"
What do you like best about Square Online?

If you want a simple website, you can create your very own on Weebly for free, and it has a sleek appearance. I like the ability to create numerous pages. If you want additional features, you have the option to pay for those features similar to other companies.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

It is challenging to learn how to use it and takes a long time, but after you understand the system, it works fine. It would be nice if Weebly had simplier instructions.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

As an instructor, I would make the same amount of money without the website, but some students prefer a digital syllabus, and they can see updates in real-time from anywhere.

"Intuitive + Easy Designs"
What do you like best about Square Online?

I have used Weebly for years, have created multiple websites with their platform, and LOVE the free options. The customer service is amazing, and the ease of use for building a drag-and-drop e-commerce platform is unparalleled.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

There need to be more theme options and new and updated designs. There are some- but not very many, and with many locked design features as part of the themes that aren't designed well and can't be changed without modifying the coding, it defeats most of the purpose of this platform.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to create a simple and easy online platform with which to share my products and services with people. I have the fantastic option of deciding how much I want to pay with the different plan options and can keep it free with Weebly branding.

"Incredible loading speed"
What do you like best about Square Online?

Weebly has become our best option for building websites to sell our products and services more easily through the internet. The loading speed is excellent, something we have not seen in any other service similar to this one.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

The variety of templates is not as wide as in other similar platforms, so we had to resort to third parties to improve the appearance and design of our websites.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were looking for a platform to build websites for the sale of products and among all the available options Weebly has seemed the best option.

"Muy fluido e intuitivo"
What do you like best about Square Online?

Velocidad. La velocidad cuando alojas la web en Weebly es impresionante, carga en décimas de segundo frente a los 1-4 segundos de media del resto de webs. Aunque tiene los servidores en Alemania únicamente, pero eso lo hace aún más eficiente puesto que en otros países funciona super rápido. Energía. Usa únicamente energía verde de Alemania, por lo tanto estás usando un servicio alimentado con energía renovable y puedes ponerte el sello de respetuoso con el medio ambiente. Fácil uso. El sistema drag and drop es muy útil y fácil de usar, basta con ir añadiendo módulos separadores para poder organizar las secciones y luego los módulos de contenido.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

Módulos HTML. A veces el módulo de HTML no acepta el código que le metes, es decir, no funcionan algunos tipos de funciones, así como que las web apps creadas por la comunidad son algo escasas, muchas útiles, pero limitadas, deberían ofrecer algún beneficio extra o algo a quienes crear aplicaciones para weebly o que el equipo de desarrollo se ponga a ampliar funciones, aunque fuesen de pago. Precio dominio. El precio de los dominios es bastante elevado frente a la competencia, lo bueno son los cupones por los referidos.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

Necesitaba una plataforma para pruebas de web apps, así lo uso, para poner las aplicaciones HTML, java y demás a prueba para la web.

"A proficient website builder for all kinds of websites."
What do you like best about Square Online?

Weebly is extremely user friendly. It offers hundreds of customizable designs, themes and templates. It has an app store which allows you to add multiple applications to your site.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

Weebly does not have a personal restore option either. It has limited template customization options. It lacks artificial intelligence so you have to do each and every task on your own.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

Weebly is quite economical and provides a free trial version too. It is an SEO friendly platform. Its drag and drop option makes designing much simpler.

"Good platform to create websites"
What do you like best about Square Online?

Weebly is an excellent option to create simple website when needed. It allows the construction of websites in a simple way with just a couple of clicks which allows the rapid construction of sites without the need to possess knowledge in web coding.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

The ecosystem of this platform can turn out to be very closed which makes it difficult to customize a website in great depth.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

With the use of Weebly we have been able to create websites easily and without the need to have coding knowledge, which has saved us time and money.

"Dinámica, excelente"
What do you like best about Square Online?

Los servidores usan energía limpia, tiene muy buenas plantillas y el potencial que tienen en velocidad de carga es magnífico, de los mejores hostings para cargar la web, una pena que no vendan ese servicio separado del pack. La facilidad de su sistema drag and drop hace que sea muy fácil e incluso divertido crear una página web, bueno, diseñar una página web, a pesar de que tenga algunas limitaciones, pueden solucionarse con html.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

Los precios de los dominios están inflados, se nota mucho que en cualquier web conocida encuentras dominios por la mitad de precio o menos. La poca flexibilidad en los servicios que ofrece de pago.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

La creación de páginas web no es solo la publicación, también lo es el diseño de las mismas, por ello escojo Weebly, porque el diseño de las webs aquí es muy fácil con su drag and drop system.

"El mejor creador de webs drag and drop"
What do you like best about Square Online?

Usa energía 100% verde, ya que sus servidores se alojan en una zona de energía eólica en Alemania. Además, cuenta con el mejor editor drag and drop desde hace muchos años, es sencillo, interactivo, responsive y además no solo fácil, sino muy visual y atractivo, tanto el panel como los resultados en la web, tiene muy buenos diseños y solo tienes que modificar las fotos y textos para tener una web casi lista en cuestión de minutos. Además de todo eso, sus páginas webs son rapidísimas, en segundos entras a pesar de la carga que le metas, están muy bien optimizadas.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

El precio de los planes es el peor inconveniente, es un poco caro para lo que ofrecen en los primeros planes, donde no te incluye buscador a pesar de tener un precio superior al que tendrías si instalases en un host wordpress.org y el precio anual del dominio dividido en meses.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lo uso como método de pruebas para la web en wordpress, ya que la estructura de sus diseños me encanta y adapto la web en un estilo similar.

"Easily create website by dragging and dropping."
What do you like best about Square Online?

The best part about this would have to be the fact that the website is easy to create as it is kind of modular where you are able to drop components on to the website as you like.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

Perhaps, the fact that the website components are limited for free users and you have to pay to have access to the other components.

What problems is Square Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows for quickly creating a website on the go very quickly and easily as required without any coding required at all.

What do you like best about Square Online?

Weebly offers hosting for all the sites that are constructed on their platform. They have quick load speeds. They look after security versus hackers and spam and the structure procedure is extremely easy to use for newbie and advanced alike.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

It permits you to drop the hierarchy and drag and click to modify each. It's far from an effective system.
