What Behance is
Behance is Adobe's portfolio network where creatives publish projects and clients browse for talent.
What Weebly is
Weebly is Square's classic drag-and-drop hosted site builder, distinct from the newer Square Online editor. It provides a free tier and region-priced Personal, Professional and Performance plans; the storefront viewed from Turkey currently shows paid annual prices from €11 per month. Plans vary in custom-domain, branding, statistics, support and commerce features. More importantly, Square has announced that Weebly service will wind down in 67 countries including Turkey: new-page publishing ends June 29, 2026, existing sites are scheduled to be unpublished September 27, 2026, and account access ends December 26, 2026. Buyers in affected countries should migrate, not start a new dependency.

Behance: pros & cons
- Large audience and Adobe integration
- Full project case studies, not single images
- Free to publish
- Discovery favours established accounts
- Hiring signal is weak
- Little control over presentation
Weebly: pros & cons
- The classic editor remains approachable for basic informational sites and blogs.
- Free hosting, SSL and a Weebly subdomain lower the barrier for eligible-region experiments.
- Paid tiers add custom domains, greater customization, support and commerce functions.
- Site, product, order and contact exports provide partial migration and record-retention paths.
- Service is being withdrawn from 67 countries, including Turkey, on a published 2026 timetable.
- Weebly and Square Online are different editors and account/product paths; capabilities do not transfer automatically between them.
- The site archive is not a restorable Weebly backup and excludes blog and store pages; forms and slideshows may not work outside the platform.
- Plan prices and payment capabilities are regional, while transaction-processing fees remain separate from the website subscription.
Our verdict on Behance
Fine as a free portfolio. A personal site still converts better for client work.
Our verdict on Weebly
Weebly can still serve simple sites in supported markets, but the country wind-down dominates the decision. In Turkey it is not a sensible new platform choice; export content, store/order/contact data and domains early, then verify the replacement before the published access deadlines.
