Erin Harris Owner in Marketing at ESH Genealogy & Marketing (Information Technology and Services, 1-10 employees) Chose Square Online Wix doesn't have the ease of use that Weebly has. I get more frustrated using that when I need specific items. Instapage has many SEO limitations and I don't feel like my SEO efforts are fully utilized within the platform they offer. Incentivized Helpful? heather figi Founder/CEO in Marketing at Music for Young Violinists (E-Learning, 1-10 employees) Chose Square Online I have not explored many alternatives.

Trina Boice Instructor - online in Marketing at BYU-Idaho (Higher Education, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Square Online Wix, for some reason, seems to be the latest, newest, freshest option and competition for Weebly.

Marcelo de Vasconcellos Senior Visual Designer in Research & Development at Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fundação Oswaldo Cruz) — Fiocruz (Hospital & Health Care, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Square Online WordPress needs to be set up before use, making it less adequate for students.

But I believe Weebly has a … Incentivized Helpful? Austin Schmidt Founder + Chief Solution Builder in Marketing at Marketer as a Service (Marketing and Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose Square Online I evaluated Wix, and started building my site.

Sarah Ciras Rousseau High School Special Educator at Landmark School (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Square Online I liked the features in Weebly more so than what Wix had to offer.

Google sites were very open-ended and required more … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Square Online The only comparison I did was to Wix during the first testing/trial period. I found Weebly easier for a non-technical person (like myself). I understood that Wix would give more flexibility for a few things, but it would take more time to deploy when compared to Weebly. In … Incentivized Helpful? Victor Fernandes CEO (Chief Executive Officer) at Creatively (Entertainment, 1-10 employees) Chose Square Online Weebly has the best price compared to this three and it's very, very simple to use.

Kristin Cole Owner in Corporate at Sound Wave Events (Events Services, 11-50 employees) Chose Square Online Five years ago we did a rebrand for our company and built a completely new website.

(Insurance, 11-50 employees) Chose Square Online Weebly stacks up well against its competitors because it is priced relatively, has excellent functionality and the option to add lots of plug-ins and add-ons.

Eric Weiss Customer Service Representative in Customer Service at Hatchbuck (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose Square Online I selected Weebly because I thought their themes weren't as janky as WordPress.

It's really a matter of figuring out what's right for your business in … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Square Online Weebly has a different selection of themes that I just believed better suited my needs. It all depends on what you need out of your website builder.

Jill Nimmer-Beres Grant Writer & Webmaster in Social Media at Silver Star Brands f/k/a Miles Kimball Company (Non-Profit Organization Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Square Online Weebly was always one of the top-rated solutions in the website-builder arena. We had experience with GoDaddy, and were sadly disappointed in the clunkiness and general lack of quality features. We finally chose Weebly over its runner-up, Squarespace, because it was a cheaper … Incentivized Helpful? Heather Pellegrini Administrative Assistant at Temple Beth Elohim (Religious Institutions, 11-50 employees) Chose Square Online We looked at a variety of other site builders that were available at the time we decided to create our secondary site and Weebly had more options that suited our needs at the time and the ease of use was far above the other options.

Anand Chhatpar CTO in Engineering at Growth Champ, a service by Fame Express LLC (Internet, 1-10 employees) Chose Square Online WordPress takes time to set up properly, needs hosting and always has security issues.

James McQuillin Owner in Marketing at 1 on 1 Lessons (Consumer Services, 1-10 employees) Chose Square Online Weebly is great for early-stage beginners with no website building experience but with a solid foundation of basic computer skills.

However, when it comes to pure blogging and older students learning how to track their … Incentivized Helpful?	Wix Bryan Tanner Tennis Professional at BYU-Provo (E-Learning, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Wix I compare this product most closely to Weebly. I've used both, and Wix out classes Weebly with ease. While they share almost the same functionality, WIx seems faster, cleaner, and more easily accessible. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Wix Wix is more or less like Weebly. Wix is for the same level of user who uses Weebly but has a bit more technological knowledge. Wix is more advanced and allows users to control their web development to the next level.

Horacio Carcamo Product Development Asst. in Marketing at Myron Manufacturing (Marketing and Advertising, 201-500 employees) Chose Wix Wix can give the user great customer service or technical assistance when needed. I think that this factor can stack up against other competitors.

Verified User Chose Wix Wix just has a better repertoire of templates, default design formats for displaying images and video, and a wider control over what I can tweak to make the site truly my own.

Olivia Capizzi Marketing Graphic Designer in Marketing at Voicesifter (Internet, 1-10 employees) Chose Wix Wix is better. Squarespace is more expensive for a more rigid platform.

Ai Ashe Adjunct Instructor at Art Institute of Virginia Beach (Higher Education, 51-200 employees) Chose Wix Wix has more features for customization; especially when replacing template images.

Brooke Degnan Chief Cook and Bottle Washer at Bell in the Woods (Hospitality, 1-10 employees) Chose Wix We compared Wix & Weebly. We found Wix easier to use with a better selection of templates. Weebly had limitations that would have prevented us from achieving the desired outcome. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Wix We were initially going to use WordPress because we were skeptical of the SEO performance of a Wix site.

Luciano Gardesani Marques Account Executive in Sales at Clarity Solutions (E-Learning, 11-50 employees) Chose Wix In fact, we evaluated both providers and found them very similar.

Victor Fernandes CEO (Chief Executive Officer) at Creatively (Entertainment, 1-10 employees) Chose Wix Wix has the best WYSIWYG design method, since all others we tried showed not to reach anywhere near what our intentions towards the design were.
