Weebly's WYSIWYG editing interface allows users to easily and quickly "drag and drop" content into the currently open Web page, which Weebly considers its flagship feature. Consistent with this design are also a blog editor, a simple method of implementing and customizing its library of themes, and a policy of no forced advertising on even free accounts' Web sites, which are similar to Cif2.net's editing interface features. Pro accounts include more capabilities such as the adding of in-site audio or video content, up to 100MB uploads, up to 10 sites, favicon, removal of the Weebly footer message, advanced collaborative editing, HTML5 video playback and more; "premium" support, and advanced site statistics. It has recently introduced a Collaborative Website Editing which allows users to invite other users to edit their website. This function is similar to Lifeyo's collaborating with other editors to edit on a website, with the exception that Weebly has separated how you can invite additional users to edit, with the Pro function allowing said user to allow invited users to edit only a certain part or only limited access, while the basic function gives the invited user complete control over editing your website.

For businesses keen on branding and aspiring to build strong web presence, Weebly allows using custom web site addresses for free sites[9]. The Archive option [10] allows for smooth migration if businesses need to migrate to a different hosting provider. For advanced users familiar with html and css coding, Weebly provides un-restricted access to Style Sheet and Page Layouts, thus allowing them to create unique sites [11].

| Customer satisfaction | 2>
For customer satisfaction, Weebly provides an email form onto which a person can write, requesting one-to-one help.[12] Weebly replies directly to the email address you submit on the support form.[13]
[edit] | Tags: History | 2>
The objective of Weebly when it was first created was to enable content creation.[1] Weebly staff said:[1]
How many people have good information that they would like to put on the web, but currently don't know how? Maybe it's because they don't have a web host, maybe it's because they don't know how to write a web page and upload it. Whatever it is, web content creation needs to get easier, and I think this is the next step. Want a three column layout? Drag and drop. Add Google AdWords to your site? Drag and drop. Then double click it, and set your options from easy drop-down-menus.

[edit] | Tags: Initial release | 3>
When Weebly came close to its initial release, the staff decided on a two-phase launch plan: first, there would be a limited invitation followed by something "more substantial" a few weeks later.[14] The invitational beta release was announced June 2006,[15] followed by the official private-beta launch on September 12, 2006.[16]
In January of 2007, Weebly accepted funding from startup funding firm Y Combinator.[17] The next month, Weebly staff announced it was working on a new WYSIWYG-like editing interface for Weebly.[18] This interface, along with a few other new features, was released March 2007.[19] By December 2008 Weebly reached 1 million users and it had become profitable.[20]
[edit] | Tags: Criticism | 2>
Since it is built on its own platform, Weebly cannot take advantage of pre-existing plug-ins from other popular blogging engines.[21] In 2008, it released several new templates but at the same time received criticism for not realizing the biggest feature request from users: the ability to edit or upload the CSS/HTML of the web pages.[20] In response, on February 26, 2009 Weebly added the ability to edit the CSS and HTML of any site.[22]. Lack of multi language support is a deterrent for those looking to create websites for non-English speaking audience[23].
