Weebly just got faster! 

For the last couple weeks we've been putting the polish on our text editor to give you a smoother experience. Before, editing text could sometimes be a bit buggy. If you pasted text from Microsoft Word, the formatting would sometimes be different than the rest of your site, and removing a link could be difficult.

We heard your feedback and just released the following updates
  • Single click, smooth editing. Entering and exiting text edit mode is now seamless.
  • Click on a link to see where it's pointing, and remove the link with one click.
Picture
  • Text pasted from Word is automatically matched to your theme's defaults.
  • A remove formatting option for when you want to remove font size & color settings.
Picture
  • When creating a link to a file, you see an option to upload a new file.
    (before you could only select from the files you uploaded using the file element)
  • Hide your site from search engines using the option under the "Settings" tab.

And finally, we also released 6 new themes we hope you'll enjoy
Stay tuned to the blog next week -- we have a few awesome features we're getting ready to release!

And as always, we appreciate your feedback and are working as hard as we can to make Weebly better for you every day. You can view our most-requested features and vote on your own requests at our feature request page.

Thanks again for using Weebly!

Great Work Weebly. I have been using my new site with my students and they have found it very useful.
It is now much easier to provide them with additional support and share materials with them.

Many thanks for your efforts in making Weebly so powerful.

Thanks again guys,
Simply the best...
Better than all the rest...

Thanks for the smoothing out of the sometimes clunky text editing. got a little frustrating a times but at theseprices who's complaining.

Thinki i;m gonna give one of those new templates a go for another site i'm working on at the moment.

ps www.GuestsMartialArts.com.au is on the first page of google for my search terms and it was all done with Weebly:-)

dont believe me search
martial arts melbourne
and see for yourself

09/30/2010 1:14am

Weebly just keeps getting better & better!
Please more new updates soon!

Love to see a whole new flash gallery and maybe an option to have an intro flash/regular intro incorporated on this website.

Just a suggestion :)

09/30/2010 1:14am

This is great. Maybe next we can get updates on the blogging function. I'd like to see the comments without having to click on each individual post and maybe even link to facebook or gravatar so that people can log in and comment. :)

09/30/2010 1:15am

So glad for the link fixes, they were really annoying me =)

Keep up the good work.

09/30/2010 1:16am

Oops what I meant was onto people's weebly websites. Flash / Regular intro with no navigation bars and what not. :)

09/30/2010 1:39am

The ability to see where the link is pointing is most helpful. Thanks for the updates, keep it up!

Nice, I was editing my site when I noticed that a new and cool update has landed on Weebly. Keep up the good work!

09/30/2010 2:14am

That's great - we change the text at least once or twice a week so we really appreciate the streamlining!

09/30/2010 2:16am

Great job guys... heu... just a thing: I have a problem or can't we post a new suggestion anymore in the "feature request page"? We can only vote for existing suggests.

09/30/2010 2:36am

Good work, it would be great if we could choose the font of the text while editing it.

09/30/2010 3:27am

"Hide your site from search engines using the option under the "Settings" tab."

I don't want to hide my whole site - but I do want to hide certain pages. Is it possible to have some sort of check box or radio button to accomplish this in the "Pages" tab (like the password option)?

09/30/2010 4:10am

LOVE the new features in the last months!!!! Thank you and speed is always good!

09/30/2010 4:26am

Outstanding...Weebly is amazing. I can't believe what I've been able to do in my spare time over the last 3 days with this incredible tool. Thanks for the latest update...It just gets better!

09/30/2010 4:37am

Glad to see these fixs plus the new themes. Weebly continues to be the best and easiest website builder to use and having a PRO account makes it even better!

09/30/2010 5:10am

You guys are awesome. This is exactly what I've been hoping for. Great job.

09/30/2010 5:55am

Ohh I can't wait for the new features coming next week!

09/30/2010 6:28am

How do I link my website to my facebook account?

09/30/2010 6:34am

Awesome, this is going to help me so much.
You guys rock

09/30/2010 7:51am

Once again, thanks for an outstanding job!

09/30/2010 8:01am

I'd also like the ability to insert a picture at full-size. Not in a gallery, but when I create graphics to design my pages, I'd like them to be at the size they were designed for.

Also, can we get the ability to assign a picture to flush to the top or bottom? It's a pain to try and get a picture to be at the bottom of a page.

09/30/2010 8:03am

Love the new themes! Keep up the awesome work Weebly!

09/30/2010 8:05am

09/30/2010 8:56am

It is a cool and fresh change.It makes me really happy.

09/30/2010 9:00am

The themes are nice but need some with "side bars". Thanks

09/30/2010 9:08am

Very cool features now it is more easy for us to edit our site and also we can distinguish which file or site linking to our text link.

thanks again weebly..

the best.

09/30/2010 9:09am

This is awesome, as usual. I am looking forward to the upcoming releases.

At this point, now that site is solidly up and I have clients, what I would REALLY like to see is better security around: passwords (the way they're so easily mailed to an email), website transfer issues, login (the way password could just too easily be changed), etc.

Thank you!! I've told a ton of friends abut Weebly and they've all got websites now with Weebly! :-)

09/30/2010 9:25am

amazing work....

fairyears
09/30/2010 9:49am

Been trying the new paragraph and it mostly works great, but whenever you edit a paragraph not flush left it makes it look like it changes it to flush left. From what I can tell, it doesn't, but you can't tell until you leave the page and come back to it.

09/30/2010 9:53am

You guys are great... keep coming with the great features! I am so impressed with your service and telling everyone I know (just sent out an email to dozens of people who build sites they should look at weebly).

09/30/2010 9:59am

Very cool new features!

Great job

09/30/2010 10:44am

Thanks, Weebly! The text is amazing now! I used to have issues with return lines, glitching, but now it's amazingly perfect!

09/30/2010 12:47pm

Aw Yeah! Some things I've been asking for (remove link!) have been incorporated. Thanks, Weebly!

09/30/2010 1:37pm

To all the whiners....

Stop complaining, nagging and begging here...
Be thankful and show some gratitude to the Weebly team!

Weebly rocks!


fairyears
09/30/2010 2:26pm

kaz, I didn't see a lot of whining. Most people are mentioning issues

1. because it helps weebly to know
2. because you can add comments but no new topics to suggest a feature.

09/30/2010 3:07pm

I love this! I've been waiting for a text editing update forever!

http://www.twisiblog.com

09/30/2010 3:07pm

This is the best free website maker around
Thanks for the great work.
Could you add the ability to add a comment box like this one to websites soon?

Oh and check out my site if you want a free ipod, ps3, xbox etc. http://www.purelyfree.com
made with weebly of course

09/30/2010 3:26pm


Woah , Weebly is so awesome, so easy to use, thanks a lot.

I tried simplesite.com, it says there is no advertising after you pay, but they still leave their advertising on your website, dam liars. It doesn't have ecommerce, so weebly is heaps better.

Here is what I made, it for selling handmade goods like purses, wallets and rings in Australia, but we can post items overseas

http://www.envyemporium.com.au


We were going to use Ebay or Etsy, but it's better if you have your own site, looks much better.

09/30/2010 3:40pm

For the past 2 days, when I go to past text in my blog, the text has been ending up positioned above the blog heading (at the very top of the page) instead of in the appropriate text box. Anything that can be done about this except closing the page and starting over? Very time consuming!

09/30/2010 4:54pm

Sounds great - I await more updates - hopefully in the area of most importance which should clearly be e-commerce.

That's a nice update.

It came in the nick of time where users were becoming aggitated with the deafening silence.

09/30/2010 7:45pm

keep up the good work! i'm glad i'm with u

09/30/2010 8:36pm

Great, this new feature really rock. It's a huge help for those who are in need. Thanks.

10/01/2010 12:53am

I am glad to pay for weebly, even if the improvements are for free, because I think something is wrong and you fix it!

10/01/2010 2:24am

The reason why I chose weebly in purchasing my 2 sites (1 upcoming to be published) is the very handy visual editor that comes for someone like me who has a very limited knowledge at HTML and CSS. There should be two-column element that should be provided in a blog template for non-designer bloggers to embed other affiliate links in case the blog is for business.

10/01/2010 5:39am

I have a suggestion to improve embedded videos like youtube and vimeo:

can you do something that will provide a lightbox or videobox for these embedded videos of youtube or vimeo? thanks. more power to weebly. VIVA WEEBLY

10/01/2010 9:13am

Consistent formatting is wonderful!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! As always, love new themes!! Thanks Weeble people!

Great Job! I love the removing formatting button! It made my website much clearer!

10/01/2010 10:31am

Simply amazing stuff, Weebly Pro was definateley worth it as well. I love Weebly, it has helped my international telemarketing/telesales company fly!

10/01/2010 10:31am

It's even easier to edit now. Thank you Weebly team for helping to make our bail bonds site so successful! It's one less worry knowing any changes you ever make are for the better.

10/01/2010 10:32am

Yes, I love the new themes, and like Marketmake said, Weebly Pro was worth the money.

With the Remove Formatting Button I can give my site a much cleaner, simpler look!

Thanks Weebly!

10/01/2010 1:15pm

Thanks for the updates! Using Weebly gets better all the time! I'm always so happy when you offer a new feature! By the by, love the new theme with the grass and sky! Cheers!

10/01/2010 1:54pm

Ever since this upgrade, I have not been able to edit my subpages. I reduced the screen size to 50% to see what the hell was going on and for some reason, they are showing so far over on the right, I cannot even get them. Please fix this bug. Other than that, I do agree with everyone else. The text editing is much better....if you can do it.

10/01/2010 3:02pm

Thanks Weebly! Really appreciate all your hard work and wonderful features. They truly make a difference.

10/01/2010 6:42pm

you guys should release new theme's monthly, have a contest or something. "This month's new theme's"

10/01/2010 11:57pm

life is better at weebly!!

10/02/2010 4:49am

I do want to hide certain pages. Is it possible to have some sort of check box or radio button to accomplish this in the "Pages" tab (like the password option)?

10/02/2010 8:29am

Im choosing a new layout you did but, when I press publish it still remains the same previous web page he is not letting me change the banner.

10/02/2010 11:56am

I'm having a problem with my blog page. When you refresh it comes out as one looooonnnnnngggg blog with one word to each line.

Is there something I can do to stop this?

10/02/2010 12:26pm

Thanks Weebly team!

The bugs are out of the text editor. I'm flying through the updates now!

Keep that special Weebly love coming.

10/02/2010 12:46pm

Thank you very much! Before I had trouble getting on the blog paragraphs and just kept not doing it! Now for just one click, my website will be faster to edit!

http://www.randomthingyz.weebly.com

10/02/2010 2:02pm

I just tried the feature out today, and it works great! I sometimes had to play with the text modify feature before to get it working, but it seems fine now. Keep up the good work, guys! The site's getting better and better all the time! Thanks for making a great thing even better!

Dear Weebly,

Thanks for your upgrades on the text editing. You are certainly moving in the right direction.

I am impressed by how quickly and efficiently you respond to your users. My help requests have always been answered pronto with excellent solutions.

I am glad that I chose Weebly as my host.

All the best,

THANK YOU

10/03/2010 6:50am

Much simpler, indeed, but there's now a problem with the copy paste function. Now when I paste words written previously in a text square, into another square, it appears a "_" symbol, instead of words. I hope you can mend this.

10/03/2010 10:34am

Thanks Weebly. That is much easier to use now.

10/03/2010 2:52pm

When I am editing text far down on my page the site resets my view to the top of the page of text so that I have to scroll down again to get to where I need to edit. Makes it hard to work, very time consuming. Do you know what is going on?

Yeah, you made some pretty nice updates but I'm wondering, when will the Favicon option be available in the free version of Weebly? It's not like it's a huge feature or anything.

10/04/2010 1:00am

Weebly is the best,hands down.

10/04/2010 7:32am

these are really great..:)
I hope to see more features on gallery section as well.. may be title below thumb nails..:)
good luck weebly.. i'm happy to have pro account..:)

10/04/2010 8:28am

I' going to look stupid since I posted a praise comment earlier, but...

I'm love everything except one feature... Which makes me wish it didn't change.

I have to post links on multiple pages(I have a show date organizer), and now that it doesn't paste the links and pre-formatted size with it I have to completely work from scratch. Paste in each link, and re-do the sizing.

It's actually THE only thing weebly has done to effect me for the worse. I hope, and suspect this will be fixed in some way.

It pains me to say anything bad about weebly, but I don't know how I'm going to run my site now...

10/04/2010 5:28pm

You guys are just the best!!!

10/04/2010 5:39pm

this has rilly helped me the past few days

10/04/2010 8:06pm

Thanks for the updates! It would be great if we could choose the font of text to use as well! Also, a way of editing a link after creating it would be great, instead of having to delete it and start again. Thanks!

10/04/2010 8:18pm

Thanks for the updates. It sure is fun having these new designs being posted, cool.

10/04/2010 10:09pm

Excellent Weebly !!
It was a frustrating experience before but much smoother now - and time saving too!

And anyone with any comments on how I could make my site better, I would love to hear from you on my contacts page.

The paste function does not work properly in firefox anymore, and also when I link text to a page on my site it deletes the Text.

10/05/2010 3:22pm

This is an amazing tool for creating professional looking web sites for the average client. Took me all of a few minutes to decide to buy the upgrade to a professional account. The only downer Ii have noticed is poor coding support for latin characters making it a pain to offer web sites to my French clients.

10/05/2010 5:37pm

love this new version of themes.. thanks guys :)

10/05/2010 11:45pm

The ability to copy and paste from Word is a small thing that won't get much credit and thanks, but it is awesome. So....THANKS!

Thanks, Weebly! I have been watching you since at least 2007. At that time, I thought, what a great idea, but still needs more features to make it really helpful. You all have come light years ahead. Thank you for constantly improving and for responding to my support questions in a timely manner.

I have a couple of websites still on Microsoft Office Live, and for the last 3 years, I haven't really seen any improvements. Weebly is a always getting better, even though they are already the best!

10/29/2010 10:50am

I really like Weebly - but have struggled a bit with the new text editor. Seems like it doesn't assume my existing font, and a few times when editing in the middle or bottom of text, the top part of the text gets really really small and I can't get it back. Any one else having this problem?

Very nice, this information I was looking for. This can give a lot of knowledge to me. Thank you!!

What has changed please, and how can i edit the text?

You made fantastic nice points here. I performed a search on the issue and discovered almost all peoples will agree with your blog. There are plenty of online shops that sell cheap electronic gadgets that work perfectly well and last just as long as something from a well-known manufacturer.

11/02/2010 9:28pm

I like the first one... it suits my personality as an artist.

11/06/2010 7:34pm

The new feature that we are LOVING is the change to the "delete element" - the way that the page shows a preview of how it will display with the element deleted is a big help - great work Weebly - thank you!!

Alas, I found yours...It's so great to have at least a website for my line of work where I can publish my artworks. So far, I'm trying to promote weebly web creator too to my friends and they're very interested with it when they see mine. Thank you very much weebly for the support & updates! By the way, can I suggest something like a tab where I can see my visitors' email adds. Thanks.

It's great still some features such as tables and more professional looking themes are welcome, settings for page size(fit to screen) would be a nice thing

I'm one of the Great Unskilled, but Weebly is so quick and easy these days, I can update my set of audio narration samples daily if I need to. And the site looks great, even on a 50 inch plasma! Nice job.
