How are they supposed to make money then? If they don't charge, we don't get great new upgrades and features. And if you actually look at what's on offer here in comparison with similar sites, including features, ease of use and great support vs cost - you will find that you are getting the best product and the best deal around.
Now don't you feel just a little bit silly for making that comment?
I'm with Julie on this one, for the most part :) Weebly's really the best platform around as far as ease of use, abundance of offerings, continuous improvement in features for both newbies and more-experienced site builders, and for exceptional overall value. I am, however, interested in what will be included in the Starter tier, which was mentioned in the original price-change blog post in December and is supposed to compare to the current (pre-price change) Pro tier in terms of price and features. I'd hate to see Weebly's new price plan be one that ends up being cost prohibitive to many; I think that one of the best things about Weebly is its exceptional value, and that usually brings on the volume of customers that keeps such a pricing model viable and profitable (keep in mind the value of word-of-mouth advertising by thrilled customers, too!). Once a well-loved product/service becomes cost prohibitive to a percentage of potential and current customers, those prospects/customers may fall away, turn elsewhere, and no longer recommend the product/service to others. Weebly needs to, and should, profit nicely for all the risk and investments of time, money, creativity, etc. that its people have poured into it for years and for the growth and sustainability of its future. I'm routing for them to continue striking that win/win balance :)
yep, Julie is clearly right, not only with her comparison to other offers eg Joombla etc, but also responsive if you need support. After all, space is quasi unlimited, you don't need to be a geek to get quite a good "buzz-card" out of it. This year I will definitely go for the "pro" version and this simply because I never have have any brake-down or other disturbances of the site. The "pro" version will then be a good place to lance my archive by being in full control of the content not like other photographer sites that can be purchased and go into the black hole of the "vultures" turning everything into commodities.
Really have to wholeheartedly agree here. It would be really good to have templates that use most of the screen, maybe just 20 - 40 mm on the side. I do find it hard to fit everything on the page sometimes without having to have really long columns.
just a question about the theme I've used for this site http://www.websumm.it/
the added separation lines are shorter than the two lines on the top
is it a design choice or a bug? (and how can I fix it?)

Please I will like to know if your domain plan offer also includes the pro. Also I will like to know if it is possible for me to transfer my domain. Do your domain offer emails too.

Is there a phone number that one can reach weebly on
Gostaria de aderir ao PRO mas quero efetuar o pagamento com boleto bancário, não trabalho com cartão de crédito e não aprecio sistemas como o pay mal. seria possível enviar-me o boleto para um ano?
I just viewed your website, I have to say that I like it very much! I do also like how you used the portion intended for phone number to encourage viewers to connect with your social media icons, very clever.

Very nice site. I did not realize we could make 2 rows of page tabs like you have. Good job, lovely.
I want to translate into different languages and different language internet site would like to put icons on every page, so I wonder how it will do it thank you
Yes, I noticed them; they're really nice! I especially like the ones with the clock face, most especially the one with the header text centered. Any details about the "Starter" tier of service yet?
Know what would really be awesome? If only I could customize the footer without having to cough up more cash. I selected Weebly because it was advertised as FREE; now I see I have to pay $100 a year for a simple site.
It is free to use. You can build a complete site and as many sites as you want for free. But you can upgrade to get even more features for a small fee. But you don't have to to build site and put them online

It's worth the $$ and it's not that much considering they've done a lot of the work we didn't know how to do in the first place without them. Weebly is worth sticking with & their designer support is excellent :)
Truly, I've not found a more exceptional value than Weebly, all around. Lynne, you can customize a footer of sorts by dropping a Columns element to the bottom of your page and adding lines of your own information: site map with links, copyright notice, official site/company name and contact info., etc. You can design it with different font sizes, styles and colors to distinguish it from the rest of the content. When you're finished, simply use the little green arc/arrow in the upper left-hand corner of your new section to "copy" that footer to every other page (just be aware that when you copy or move a section to another page, it lands at the top of that new page and you have to drag it to the location you prefer). The small default Weebly footer will still exist below that, but that's a small price to pay for such a great free service, right?
Cool! Keep up the good work! I specially like the second one with the dark wood background, and the wedding themed one.
Oh, and I'm checking out every day whether I can add more than 2 websites! Can't wait for it!
Hello,
Although I do not need new templates, new ones are welcome and add value to Weebly services.
I prefer simply theme designs.
Anyway, folks do not forget that you can customize your template as Weebly allow changes in CSS and html. Do not use "wide" templates. Just use up to 1024px width that show up very well on tablets and similar devices. Cheers!
Hey, thanks for that width advice. I had been thinking about widening my own content page area in CSS today but wasn't sure if I could, and, if so, what width might be the best to use. I'll try your advice tonight! :)
Finally, this is what I've been waiting for for I think 2 years. I just wanted to thank you for making my life easier and not mess with the .css files but had a fun time learning about that stuff.
the new themes are fabulous - I'm excited about the theme I chose because the default font and background set a beautiful, understated tone that is unlike any of my competitors websites - this helps me differentiate myself from them right at the start. There is so much to love about Weebly!
In the four years I've used Weebly PRO for business websites I have never been disappointed with the service or the products. Thanks weebly folks for the constant attention to detail and service.
used one of the new themes for my site http://sunsthomasandfriends.weebly.com/ so glad to have one nice and colorful with the vertical sidebar. just love it. thanks weebly!
great updates, keep them coming...so impressed I have just subscribed for the pro account for another 2 years.
one suggestion can we see on the next update a control to time +/- the transition speed of the effect for the slide show. I know you have added a delay speed between images, but also would be nice to see a control to slow the speed of the effect as personally I think its to quick.
thanks for the great themes. appreciated <a href="http://review.atspace.cc">diablo auction</a>

can someone please tell me how to keep the search box from giving results that are files--.pdf and mp3's? It is showing files that are supposed to be paid for and letting people access them. I only want it to search the allowed pages. Weebly is not responding to my "emergency" request. In the meantime, people can access files that are supposed to be private and/or paid for. I have a pro account.
See what we have done with Weebly!

It's awesome to see how many themes you have available.http://blog.weebly.com/2/post/2013/01/-beautiful-new-themes-to-kickoff-the-new-year.html#comments
I have 3 sites with weebly. They are THE BEST. I have been with them since 2008 and I couldn't be happier. Thanks weebly and GOOD job on the NEW layouts! Can I suggest to make the buttons customizable?
Weebly, your recent updates have made you have one of the most beautiful and amazing templates ever for easy website building. More-so, I like the designing features and the flash. Good job weebly.

hey guys visit cupcakesplus.weebly.com! I work there!
Temas ficaram legais, porem insisto em dizer que precismos enfase a funções e-comerce, para que possamos continuar parceiros e não ficar atras com a concorrência.
I love, love, love the new themes!! I also love that you are constantly adding more on a regular basis. You understand that people get bored with the same old ones and then start looking at other website companies for the latest hot themes. You are always ahead of the pack. Please stay proactive with the new themes and features and we will never leave you. I am a loyal person and would just love to stay with you forever. I do have one suggestion, I would love at least a couple of themes for the entertainment industry with a film, television and theater design. Thank you for being the best in the business!!
I'm always telling people interested in building a website to check out weebly. I love how my weebly sites look and operate - http://hopeandjoynetwork.weebly.com, http://thegallerygmp.weebly.com and http://sarinadamenspiritualcounsellor.weebly.com .

As a romance author I always find it hard to find something that is dark and sexy (I write paranormal romance). I wish you had more backgrounds along that line. Also a template that allows side bars for pages other than blog, where I could put covers or others might put products for their sites.

Its good to see the new Themes. It would be good to see some options with the site menu positioned below the header image. Perhaps this could be a generic option in Manage Pages.
The new themes are great, however can we have a discussion about all the keyword pop up adds? These really are NOT great. How can you do this when I purchase both Pro and my own domains? As much as I love new themes, if it means pop ads all over my sites, I'll take fewer themes.
Thank you for continuing to add themes and functionality. I already used one of the new themes on my main website. Really like the carbon fiber background on that one.
I am especially grateful for the new slider functionality, customizeable footer area, site search and social media buttons.
Two items for the wish list -- one simple, one more complex...
1. Add theme names under the thumbnails in the gallery :-)
2. Revamp the audio and video players to enable playlists. Video is the fastest growing content medium now and it would be nice to be able to have a more robust (and elegant) video player.
Overall, outstanding functionality for the price. Thank you.
Weebly does it again!!! You guys just keep getting better and better!!! Going Pro was the BEST thing I did... thank you guys for ALL your hard work... Weebly is a fantastic product/service!!
I recently asked if Weebly could possibly add an subscribe by email newsletter feature. I haven't seen any attempts of this yet. A newsletter is already provided with websites, which is a great feature and I love it. All I am asking is that you could ad a subscribe by email feature to the newsletter, so that people reading the newsletter could subscribe by email and receive emails of new posts, comments, etc. I run two newsletter / blogs from Word Press and they offer the email subscription feature, as well as my Google Blogger account. I can currently allow people to follow my newsletter that I have built with Weebly, but only using RSS Feed. RSS Feed follow is great and gets followed by some, but half of the people reading newsletters or blogs, would rather follow by email, so that new posts, comments, or news goes directly into their inbox. They can also unsubscribe if they no longer wish to follow, but that is the one thing that would significantly improve the Weebly website builder in my opinion. Otherwise, besides that one feature missing, I thoroughly enjoy Weebly. Thanks so much for listening to my feedback.
These came along at the perfect time. I'm using one of the new templates with a little tweaking in HTML and CSS for my second site. I love the look and the fact that both of my sites have a similar design, good for me because they are both the same base business, but different looks to compliment the style of the different branches of that business.
Thanks Weebly! I'm more and more satisfied with you guys every day.
I'd like to try the new page templates but last time I switched, I lost all my images and had to replace them all. Makes me very hesitant to try a new template.... I understand that not all templates are the same so maybe not all images can copy over, but the most have a main image.

Awesome! Thanks!
I have one question, maybe someone here knows. I'm trying to design a new header for my website. Does anyone know what are the dimmensions for the full header? I can't find it anywhere in the FAQs at all.

I'm new to this whole weebly thing. I've never been to a blog, so I wanted to know if on a blog can you reply back. Can you help me?
I was recommended this blog by my cousin. I’m no longer certain whether or not this submit is written by way of him as no one else realize such particular approximately my problem. You’re amazing! Thanks!
I just noticed that the section of Weebly that allows customers to vote on new updates (http://www.weebly.com/weebly/feature_request.php) has not been updated in a long time. Many of the features that have been completed have not been moved to the "Completed" section. There should also be a way for the votes to be removed once the project is completed and for the voters to be notified. Weebly should have a lot more communication with their customers and find better ways to encourage them to participate in improving Weebly!
Well that's pretty awesome news. I am using Weebly as my own personal blog. I really like working at weebly. Now i can get a new look for my blog. As a businessman, I find that keeping a blog helps out our company in that I can constantly share my ideas and insights to our readers and with a new look i can attract more readers.
Weebly seems to be getting better and better with time. It's undoubtedly one of the best tools for building a professional looking website in no time without having any technical skills!
Never used weebly before but now these themes make it more likely. thanks
