What is Square Online?

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.

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.

"Weebly is a very easy and user friendlly, website builder "

There is not much to dislike with weebly as I only need the website to retrieve short information from sellers. Only thing I would recommend is quicker costumer service.

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

With weebly I am solving low overhead. and the benefits are faster access to my sellers with quick and easy website building. And no wait time for a designer to fix problems with bugs.

"Weebly may wobble but it will not fall..."
What do you like best about Square Online?

How super easy it is to drag and drop all the elements onto your website. And it makes entering in code snippets super easy. Plus they have started adding in plugins you can use and you can turn your page into a store through the weebly tools. They also have google ads built right in all you have to to is connect your account to start serving ads.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

they have a lot of themes do not get me wrong...but they seem sometimes bulky in a way. I wish there were more slender ones to pick from and more blog layout options.

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

mainly having a place to list free to use downloads and use it as a funnel for subscribers and product sales.

"Weebly is a convenient tool for quick websites for personal and professional use."
What do you like best about Square Online?

I've used Weebly for years, I created websites in college for blogs, at work for temporary websites accessed by residents, and for professional resources as my resume portfolio.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

I wish there were more design features in the templates. I really like the setup and ease of use but wish I could use more customizable templates.

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

We are solving the problem of residents needing information on projects impacting them at any time by viewing the Weebly site. Our current website isn't as user-friendly and Weebly serves a great purpose through our website transition.

"Websites in a simple and professional way"
What do you like best about Square Online?

What I like the most about using Weebly is the ease of getting all the utilities and tools I need to create my web pages. At the time of making a design I am guided by the predetermined templates, this helps me to save time in the creation of web pages.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

Only the free plan has a limit of 500 MB. Your files can not exceed 10 MB each in the free plan, or 250 MB each in the Pro plan. This greatly limits the people who are testing the software or do not have the resources to pay such high prices.

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

The problem that I have solved using Weebly has been to be able to enter code in sections of the page where it is necessary, also it facilitates me to be able to drag and drop the tools that I need.

I wish the hosting prices were more competitive with other hostings. I feel many people build on weebly then migrate to a different host for the site.

"Used to maintian my boutique website."
What do you like best about Square Online?

I like that it is easy to use even if you do not have a lot of experience with setting up a website.

What do you dislike about Square Online?

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.

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

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.
