The Best Weebly Alternative for People Tired of Being Left Behind
Weebly stopped evolving when Square took over. No new features. Support cut. Prices hiked without warning.
You deserve a site builder that's actually moving forward.
No credit card. Live in 60 seconds.
TL;DR: Square acquired Weebly in 2018 and has been slowly killing it since. No major features since 2019. Support cut in 2025. Business plan users forced onto $68/mo. If you're still on Weebly, you're on a sinking ship. We're the lifeboat — build a new site in one conversation, not one migration nightmare.
What Happened to Weebly?
Square acquired Weebly in 2018 for $365 million. Since then? Zero major feature launches. Support degraded year after year. Product direction went from “unclear” to “nonexistent.”
In early 2024, Business plan subscribers received notices that their plan was “discontinued” — forced onto new plans at $68 per month ($1,632 per year). No warning. No negotiation. Just a bill.
By July 2025, customer support for Weebly sites was officially cut. The Weebly subreddit became a support group — users asking “Is Weebly shutting down?” and “Should I migrate now?”
Square's response? “We're managing a gradual migration process.” Translation: they're slowly killing it.
“I've been on Weebly for 6 years. My renewal came in at $1,632 this year. No warning. Time to find something else.”
