Square Online Reviews: 4.2/5 — Solid Choice
While Square Online (formerly Weebly) is often seen as an entry-level website and CMS for businesses, marketers, and content publishers, its revamped and robust features offer so much more. Offering a free version and paid options, Weebly enables its users to build the websites and the content properties that they want, the way they want it. Responsive themes ensure mobile compatibility and optimized user experience across all screen sizes while powerful design capabilities pave the way for engaging, visually enticing, and on-brand content.

Templates are built in and there are lot of options, adding new pages and buttons are all very easy.
It would be nice to be able to combine elements from different templates.
Advertising
The unlimited possibilities for modifying and personalizing a website.
Sometimes it is very glitch and slow. Have to click away a couple of times to remove an editing element.
Having my own website that looks professional and beautiful.
The software allows for easy navigation and streamlined processes for creating your website.
I honestly can’t say I have any dislikes about the product.
Weekly allows our company to create an internal webpage for employees to use for submitting reports and other issues.
Incredibly easy to customize any type of website
Some of the controls can be clunky at times.
Personal/Professional website for my art
Easy to use, lots of valuable features, SEO friendly, fully customizable with CSS
Could be a bit more robust, could use an update.
Included eCommerce tools, simple Analytics and data.
Easy adding everything from connections to Twitter accounts to word documents and beyond, Weebly has been an exemplary platform for my class website. Being able to see parents using it and respond via the form application has made it worthwhile.
Sometimes, it can be difficult to navigate at first, but to get all the bells and whistles, feel free to upgrade.
Two way communication with my clients (students and parents) as well as relaying information easily for test reviews has made my life simpler.
I love that Weebly has templates that are already created and are easy to customize for your needs. It can be used for education, selling items, or just for getting information out there.
So far there is not much I dislike. Everything is very user-friendly.
I use this to create a website for my classes. I teach at four schools and I can put lesson schedules, concert information, classroom policies, and other information all in one place. I can put links to concert permission slips on there and link information for my students.
I love that I can easily and quickly update my company's website - even from a mobile device! I can design new pages quickly and feel great about how they look and feel to someone visiting them. There are a lot of great templates to start with - easy-to-use build tools, and a great deal of content, videos, etc. to help with questions. And Weebly customer service is fantastic - they are quick to respond and always knowledgeable.
I wish that Weebly worked well on all browsers. I use MS Edge for most of my work-related browsing, but have to use Chrome when I'm building in Weebly because some features don't seem to work properly in Edge.
We no longer have to hire anyone to manage our website or design pages or changes. This saves us a lot of time, gives us greater flexibility, and saves money, too!
I like the drag and drop page editor and how you can have as many pages as you want !
no email address comes with your domain, it is extra
i am able to have as many pages as I want and a store
I like that it is easy to use even if you do not have a lot of experience with setting up a website.
My main issue is that the app does not have as much editing options as the website. Sometimes I need to be able to edit things on the go and I cannot do everything on the app.
I like the ease of use when setting up a website on my own, without the expense of having to hire a company to do it. I had someone give me a quote to set up my boutique website and it was going to cost $5000 - $7500. Doing it my self saved me a tremendous amount of money.
This platform is extremely user friendly and fun!
That there aren't more features! More ways to use this!
Blogging, website DIY, content creation
I like that it is extremely user friendly and totally customizable.
There are a few features that I would prefer you didn't have to pay for.
I can reach a broad audience as well as have control over my branding.
Weebly is great for amateurs who are trying their hand at web design. The site is user friendly, and shows you page stats so you can see how often you're getting views.
It would be nice if there was an easier way to edit the content on a page rather than having to delete and start again.
It is great to see website stats to let you know how often your content is viewed.
It is easy to drag and drop features and add neat scrolling affects as people scroll down your pages.
It’s not really conducive to e-commerce.
If you’re looking for a fast way to get a beautiful website up and running, this is a great short term fix.
It has a very easy drag and drop format! Several options allow amateurs to create a professional website. They also offer building services. And it's free!
Sometimes the choice of backgrounds are a bit boring.
Communication! This is a great way to communicate with a large number of people without using paper!
This platform for blogging is a great user friendly service!
So far there is nothing I dislike about Weebly.
It is easy to get started blogging and quickly get posts up.
I love the diversity of templates, as well as the flexibility of how much you can customize your design. As a web designer, it offers me everything I want to create a professional design.
Currently I have no issues with this program.
I am able to create a design and pass it on to a client,who can then update any changes themselves without a hassle.
I love the feedback it gives me on how well my website is performjnf
I don't like how confusing some of it can be. Also the stats differ from Weebly.
I'm able to see who my target audience should be based on my visitors.
I like all the available themes and and free hosting on their domain if it's only basic purposes.
They have limited themes. The themes are not great for anything beyond portfolios.
I have created portfolio for my clients. My clients are happy with the results.
I love that weebly is user friendly and can be used on any computer, tablet or mobile device. I definitely love that it has a free version as well.
I have run into some issues designing web pages due to formatting on laptop computers.
I like having it as a blog in addition to our website. I feel like we can express ourselves more freely and talk about other subjects To engage our patients.
Weebly has got to be one of the easiest WYSIWYG website builders I have used. The interface is clean, lots of great help. Customer support is always friendly and helpful.
its a hosted site, so if you do not have a reliable fast internet service, it makes the interface clunky and non-responsive.
I am able to get websites up and running quickly, they make everything convenient, from purchasing your domain to launching your first website. Weebly makes it easy to update and organize your site as well, adding and hiding pages as needed is a great feature as well.
Drag and drop feature makes it easy for anyone to create and maintain a website. Clean platform with many customizations available make every site look professional.
Would be nice for a way to ensure that all SEO was being done for each page, like a a checklist or something that provided some feedback. Keyword tracking and optimization would also be a great addition.
Weebly allows me to create websites for clients that they can easily be trained to take over themselves. As a marketing consultant, it is a great way to update an existing site to an easier to use platform or build something from scratch when a company has no online presense.
I liked that Weebly has a free website option. This was very useful.
You are limited on what you could really do with your website.
Well I used Weebly for Grad school, so there were no real problems I saw with Weebly.
As someone who doesn't know anything about website design, weebly made it easy and intuitive to drag and drop things into place to really customize my website. I have use weekly for a personal website and a professional blog. Both looked very sharp. I also like all of the customizable layouts.
I remember sometimes having a bit of a lag between changing something and it being implemented. Also, I think the hits feature may be inflated.
Getting my name out there, self promotion
Weebly is a powerful free website tool which I prefer to Wix. I am using it for a personal site so that I can trial various Marketing tools prior to bringing them on to business site, and to recommend for my company if successful. Also to learn more about analytics. The themes are nice and the pre-loaded templates offer enough variety and are easily customizable, so that everyone using Wix doesn't have the exact same website.
Although the free templates are high quality and there is a variety to choose from, I always have to request more :). There are some text and spacing limitations when trying to enter larger blocks of text but it is to be expected based on the design of the template.
It is nice to have a free tool to build a site to test out various Marketing tools prior to purchasing on a larger scale, and Weebly allows for a quick and simple way to build a website to do just that. The templates are user friendly and pleasing to the eye - although there could be a few more options or a few more customization options - overall it is an impressive free web builder.
Builds beautiful websites easily. Very intuitive software.
I wish the ecommence feature was cheaper
It is an easy way to create fresh and attractive websites.
Mobile ready and responsive templates that are easily customizable for a unique look and feel to match your brand.
Blog and Site Content not transferrable
Gives clients the solution of not needing a “Webmaster” for routine changes and updates Gives “Webmasters” (in the niche of SBMs) the benefit of taking on unlimited clients with ease, allowing infinite growth. Allows Web service providers to enjoy an additional stream of passive income with an affiliate program.
I like the drag-and-drop editor. It makes setting up a website so fast and so easy.
I wish there was a little bit more customization with where things can be places and the layouts of the text grids.
I used Weebly to create my personal website. I was able to set up an entire portfolio site in a matter of hours and I was even able to redirect my old URL to the new one within Weebly.
I love the user interface Weebly provides to their users. Super clean, easy to use. Seamlessly integrates with a variety of plug-ins and third party sites. I also love the stock imagery and font database. Clean design templates.
Some sites don't integrate with Weebly, but it's great for e-commerce. I'm not a huge fan of the login process, but it is seamless nonetheless. Also, some integrations are buggy.
Lead capture and smooth site transitions. The website is a great place for more information about my services, and it gives me a platform to beautifully showcase content unlike any other.
Such a nice tool to brighten your marketing experience. A great choice of templates, intuitive creator and very easy way of editing your selected templates makes it a tool you want to use on a regular basis.
It takes some time to set it up properly, I felt a bit overwhelmed when I first entered the website, then the experience only got better and now I encounter no drawbacks or problems.
Creating landing pages and little pages for some business, marketing and e-commerce purposes. Templates help me save some time on designing a particular website from the scratch.
