Moving my dating advice site from Weebly to Sitesell/Site Build It, will it work?

Don't do it! Everyone here is right. The thing is if you want to blog you'll pay for extra hosting for that! If you want to have a php script that has cool quizzes that tell people "What dating style are you?" "Who's your perfect guy" etc. You'll have to pay for extra hosting for that.

If you want a DECENT Email system, you'll have to use Gmail. If you want to schedule posts for when you're out of town to show up, You CAN'T with SBI.

If you want to add a plug-in that allows people to book a dating appointment with you automatically, you can't do it with SBI. They'll tell you you can, but you're actually going to have to learn Wordpress and install it through Infini-It and PAY EXTRA for it. How dare they call their package All-in-One.

Just remember, anytime they say you can do something with Infin-It, it means you're essentially BUYING ADDITIONAL HOSTING elsewhere.
(When you could have just saved the high cost of SBI by getting standard hosting elsewhere). If you don't believe me just ask them. If I use Infini-it to add (insert the function I want to add) do I have to buy additional hosting elsewhere? (They'll either dodge the question by giving you some nonsense about building traffic first or eventually have to fess up and say "Yes." Listen to their WORDS carefully. They dodge direct questions A LOT).

If you get successful and take on an assistant, you have to give them FULL ACCESS to your site. They can cut off your billing. Delete pages. Everything. You can't just give them their own password and limited access to just post.

If you want to hire someone to custom design something, you'll have a hard time finding someone who can do it with SitebuildIt, and they'll tell you to do Sitesell coaching which COSTS EXTRA.

They say all-in-one, and all you need is traffic, but that is MISLEADING.

AND, they act like their system is easy to understand. Their "Action Guide" is said to take TEN DAYS (but the days are metaphorical), the to get through, but the truth is there are people who NEVER FINISH it. It is long boring, outdated, and tedious.

Seriously, if you have a problem with Wordpress, you can Google it or hire a cheap student or someone from another country to talk you through it. If you want to hire someone to build out a few pages on your site, you can do it through Odesk for cheap, but SBI "Pro Services" (which they don't tell you about) cost $399 to $4400 dollars. That's in ADDITION to the $300(annually) or $360 if you pay monthly, for basic hosting.

They don't even have a regular blog function. You can't use your iPad to work on your site. You can't upload photos from your phone and just make a quick post out of it with an app. There are NO APPS. The whole thing is a really complicated mess.

They make it sound easy, but that's because they're trying to sell you on something WAY OVERPRICED that does almost NOTHING.

Notice no one here is trying to sell you something. Sitesell totally is, and it is NOT cheap. Save your money. Buy something GOOD. Start small and work your way up. Don't waste all that time moving out of Weebly only to have to move out SBI (after spending way too much money) in a year or two.

Better late than never, I own two sites, One SBI and the other Worpress. I think both have props and cons. As a complete newbie, I can never put a price tag on what I learned from SBI, the step by step guide, finding everything in one place to me was indispensable. I still use their tools to build my Wordpress website. For Pros and those not planning on writing hundreds of pages, SBI might be a waste of time. But for a complete newbie, SBI might be the answer to your problems.

But to move a site which is already built to SBI might be a waste of time.
