Weebly or Wordpress

Hi Andre,

I've been using wordpress for 2 years plus now and I highly recommend it. Alot of MMO tutorials and softwares now revolve around wordpress. I have not use weebly before though and just to be clear are you using FREE wordpress and weebly? are you comparing the free options?

Wordpress is easy to learn and google loves Wp

it's always better to build web assets on your own land. what will happen if weebly will close next year? u will lose your site. if u can't afford the hosting and domain u should better think how to make money to cover it. try to motivate yourself to earn it so it won't be a factor anymore.

I don't have any experience with Weebly, although I can say that with all the themes and plugins for Wordpress, you can probably find something to fit what you need. Also, if you ever go to sell your site, most buyers will prefer something built with Wordpress due to the ease of using it.

There are lots of free widgets on the net and every one you've got to try and do is get the free HTML codes from the widget suppliers, and paste the code into Weebly, you will have a practical free widget directly.

I've used free WP sites before. But I switched over to self hosting because I can do more with WP. It takes a little time to learn but well worth using WP. You can find many WP training videos on YouTube.

You're talking about "free" ones, aren't you?

If you want total control over your business and money, here's THE solution:

• Get your own domain,
• Get a reliable hosting plan,
• Install your site (or blog - however you call it) on Wordpress.

It's fine if you want to use those Web 2.0 sites (unpaid WP blogs, or Weebly ones) for backlinks and traffic. But you don't want to wake up to find your whole moneymaker system deleted even without warning, do you?

You can do so much with Wordpress and so little with Weebly. Don't limit yourself or your site...

Wordpress is the easiest tool to learn to use and one of the most important.

When you know how to properly use Wordpress, many doors will open.

As for building a professionally looking site, I would just pay $30-$50 for a semi-pressional theme from woo-hoo themes or another theme marketplace.

Otherwise use a free theme and customize it, it really isn't that difficult. If you are broke and can't do it yourself or don't want to, you're in the wrong business.

If you aren't broke then you need to pay a professional or buy a theme.

p.s. weebly sucks - it's a web2.0

google loves wordpress and we love google..lol
wordpress is best for SEO, and other optimizations.
you can do much with weebly like plugins, scripts and all.

WORDPRESS IS BEST

Undoubtedly.

I've been successful with my Weebly sites, some of which are now in their fourth year, and I have absolutely no intentions of moving them. I have a very high opinion of Weebly software and hosting (I'm talking about the paid upgrade to "Weebly Pro", or whatever they call it, of course, not the free introductory service they use as a way of promoting the rest).

I don't use Wordpress at all.

I see the great potential attractions of Wordpress as being the huge availability of help, support, advice and add-ons, and I appreciate that the overwhelming majority of Warriors prefer to use Wordpress, and I'm in no way criticising that decision - I'm simply stating that "how well you do with a site" doesn't intrinsically depend on the software with which it's built; nor (with few, specific exceptions to do with geotargeting) on where it's hosted. This is simply factual. The rest is personal preference.

It makes absolutely no difference at all to Google whether a site is built from Wordpress. This nonsense that "Google loves Wordpress" has absolutely no more reality than the similarly often-repeated assertion that "Google loves blogs" (it's actually "regularly updated sites" that Google likes, whether they're blogs or not, whether they're Wordpress or not).

Let's clarify it for once and for all:

WordPress is a good tool; actually, I would say a very good tool for publishing your content on the web. (I am talking about the self-hosted WP sites on your own domain, and not the "free" stuff at wp.com...)

However, that said, it is not the right tool for every task on the www.

Furthermore, only inexperienced and ignorant people will say that Google "loves WordPress". That's BS, plain and simple. Big lie.

G. or other search engines don't give a sh*t about your CMS. They are only interested in regularly updated original content.

I don't know Weebly well, but I'd recommend Wordpress simply because there's so much good training out there that's readily available and inexpensive (or free). It's also a common language among most of the marketers I talk to, so it's easy to get advice and help when I have a problem. I don't know anyone using Weebly who I could go directly to for an answer.

You definitely need to be using any CMS on your own domain and hosting, if you're not already.

There was a bit of a learning curve with Wordpress, but once I took the time to view tutorials, blogs and the such, it became much easier. Now, we have a leading Fort Lauderdale Luxury Real Estate website, packed with useful technology that rivals much more expensive competitor websites.

I will admit that we made a few mistakes along the way, but those were easily corrected and the lessons learned were invaluable. Plus, forums like this one make it easy to get answers from experts and fellow users.

Good luck!

Wordpress, without any doubt ... and yes, I used Weebly.

Is weebly a downloadable software that we can install in our server? All i know is weebly is a web property like blogger where we can create free blogs...

Thanks

WordPess for maximum flexibility (plugins) and control.

For some reason Weebly seems to be a cheapskate/tightwad platform, I think it's because I once read a tutorial about freeby websites!

I'm happt to take another look at Weebly to see if I'm still of the same opinion.

Wordpress is very flexible and you can make it your own buy creating originality and exchanging the standard WP theme.

I have been using WordPress for two years now, and I would recommend that you use WordPress for the following reasons:

1. Easy to use
2. Flexibility and Variety
3. Google loves WordPress

Has to be Wordpress google loves it and its easy to learn how to use thanks to the amount of free video tutorials and guides out there

Hi andreekriz, there may be a slight learning curve to use Wordpress and though Weebly may be easier to grasp, the advantages you have with using Wordpress are simply too great to pass it up for any other similar platform.

I'd highly recommend using your main focus and attention on Wordpress because it is going to be much more profitable for you in the end.

Without a doubt >> WORDPRESS

Weebly is easier and has a shorter learning curve but you're in here for the long run I'm sure and Wordpress is just the gold standard.

You only have to get past the learning curve once so I'd just grind it out because it will be worth it.

P.S. Weebly doesn't even come close to what Wordpress can do.

Hope this helps

Like you said, Wordpress is the preferred choice and there's usually a very good reason for why people prefer on thing over another. Personally I prefer Wordpress. It has it's learning curve, but if you plan on spending time working on your site I think it's well worth putting in the effort to learn it. With it's highly active community of wp users as well as wp-passionate developers constantly making new cool plugins for the wonderful publishing platform I think wordpress is the obvious choice.

As for SEO purposes, I find that my wp sites are quickly indexed by the search engines upon publishing.

Hope this helps.

Wishing you all the best.
