Square Online (formerly Weebly) Reviews & Product Details

It is super simple to get a viable website up and running. The drag-and-drop elements are straightforward, and the visual cues show you where the content will show up on the page.

I also haven't had any real issues on website uptime and the speed of my sites is fairly good, even ones with video backgrounds.

I would say the price of the plans is fair and average for what you'd expect to see across the board on website tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While it is super simple, it is also fairly basic. There aren't a ton of ways to make your site very different from the other Square Online sites out there. It does give you some custom controls, but those are fairly limited too. Though if you're building a site through Square Online, you're probably not worrying about coding too much.

I've also noticed the SEO capabilities seem to be lacking. While Google and other search engines prefer to see a lot of H1 tags in your site to differentiate content, Square Online defaults your titles to H2, with no buil-in way to override that easily. There are some apps you can use with your site that give you more control over the header tags, but that adds complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was required to create a website long ago for one of my Community College classes, and I chose Weebly, now Square. It was easy back then, and when I wanted to update my style a bit post-college, it was easy to re-create my site without losing my free domain. Best part is the free price, next best is the flexibility offered even within the free version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A lot of the content is available only for paying subscribers, but that really has not been an issue for me. Usually, there is a convenient work-around to achieve my goals, but it can be a little bit annoying at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's an easy to use interface with basic building blocks. The charts and graphs provide clear context of engagement Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's increased its cost without adding new features of relevance. It's incredibly basicc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was easy to help my friends get their websites online, and it was just as easy to teach them how to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface felt limited in terms of what I could do. As an interaction designer, I found it restrictive when it came to personalizing and tailoring the experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the UX and the straightforward navigation when building a website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t like how confusing it is that Weebly’s customer support is separate from Square Online’s support, even though Square bought Weebly years ago. It feels unnecessarily split and makes it harder to know who to contact for help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration between Square for payment processing and rapid website design make this a hard combo to beat. It is a full featured all-in-one platform right out of the gate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price is high in comparison to some of their competitors. I would like to see it become more competitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited customisation, basic SEO tools harder to optimize for search engine compitition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Square Online is incredibly easy to use with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface that makes implementation quick and simple. The customer support is responsive and helpful, which I appreciate. I use it frequently thanks to its solid features and seamless integration with other Square products. Overall, it's a reliable and efficient platform for building a site, especially for beginners.

While Square Online is easy to use, its customization options are somewhat limited, which can be restrictive for those wanting a unique look. Also, the platform occasionally lacks advanced features that larger businesses might need. Lastly, the design flexibility isn’t as robust compared to some competitors, making it challenging to achieve a truly customized layout without workarounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most helpful aspects have to be the left taskbar with easy drag and drop flexible features to easily publish and integrate your website to the world wide web. Upsides are the simplicity and how fast you can make a professional site from scratch or built-in templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there are some features I cannot find on the left taskbar, or specific formatting I want to customize within a template that I find hard to figure out without having to switch to HTML. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
