Weebly

Square-owned drag-and-drop website builder for simple sites and stores, with an active 2026 country wind-down affecting Turkey and 66 other markets.

What it 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wind down in 67 countries including Turkey: new-page publishing ends June 29, 2026, existing sites are scheduled to be unpublished September 27, 2026, and account access ends December 26, 2026.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.

Key features

  • Classic site editor

    Builds responsive informational sites and blogs using themes and drag-and-drop elements.

  • Hosted publishing

    Includes managed hosting, SSL and tier-dependent custom domains and branding controls.

  • Commerce

    Offers catalog, cart, inventory and tier-dependent shipping, review and abandoned-cart features.

  • Partial exports

    Exports a static site archive plus separate product, order and contact data, with important omissions.

Strengths and trade-offs

What works well

  • 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.

Where it falls short

  • Service is being withdrawn from 67 countries, including Turkey, on a published 2026 timetable.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.

Who it is for

Small organizations in supported countries that need a simple hosted site and accept Weebly's classic editor, regional plan terms and migration limits.

Our verdict

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.

Evidence and freshness

Status: Official sources reviewedReviewed: 2026-08-24

Limit: Official Weebly pricing, operations-change, Square FAQ, backup and product-export sources were reviewed; ToolCompare did not create or migrate an account, publish a site, inspect checkout or renewal, test themes/SEO/forms/apps/domains/payments/support, export every data type, restore an archive or confirm country eligibility with support. The displayed price was localized and should not be treated as a universal currency quote. Wind-down dates, supported countries and migration assistance may change; affected owners should verify their dashboard notices immediately.
