Weebly VS Wordpress

10/11/2017

6 Comments

 
​If you are having trouble deciding whether Wordpress is better than Weebly and worth moving your website to, then please read this blog for the facts. 
FREEDOM TO CUSTOMIZE
Picture
WEEBLY- you can edit the HTML & CSS codes to your Weebly website, which allows you some freedom to customize the design

Picture
WORDPRESS - you have full access to the platform codes (assuming you are knowledgeable about codes, or if you are working with a coder - extra costs).

PLUGINS
Picture
WEEBLY - All the website building tools (plugins) are controlled by Weebly and closely monitored within its' own operating environment. What this means is that Weebly takes care of all the technical aspects of your website

Picture
WORDPRESS - The developers of the free plugins are sometimes helpful if you have troubleshooting questions, but some of them are not as helpful (since the plugin is free). At times, some developers may even blame other plugins for causing any conflicts, resulting in a finger pointing war and your issue doesn’t get resolved

Picture
WEEBLY - manages the entire platform for you, you don’t have to worry about any tools not functioning or your website breaking.

Picture
WORDPRESS - offers a lot of free plugins so you can add more tools to your website. However, not all WordPress plugins are well built, so using some of these “bad” plugins may potentially expose your website to security issues - extra cost to rebuild your site

Picture
WEEBLY - When you have any questions or issues, you can reach out to Weebly’s support team on a 24/7 basis so they can troubleshoot them for you.

Picture
WORDPRESS - Investing in premium plugins will entitle you to support, but this does not necessarily guarantee that they will fix all the issues for you as the conflicts may be caused by other plugins (which is beyond the premium plugin developers’ control even though you will be paying for premium plugins).

EASE OF USE - SAVING CLIENTS TIME AND MONEY
Picture
WEEBLY - Weebly is probably the easiest website builder available in the market today - faster turnaround time building sites

Picture
WORDPRESS -  is a lot more challenging to learn how to use  -slower turnaround time building sites

Picture
WEEBLY - The tools are very intuitive, and easy to use.

Picture
WORDPRESS - is a very powerful & flexible platform, if you want to use it effectively, it’s inevitable that you will need to modify code - You would have to hire a developer which will ultimately  be expensive

SUPPORT
Picture
WEEBLY - one of the benefits of Weebly is having its own support team.

Picture
WORDPRESS - No one is really obligated to answer your question unless you pay for it (such as hiring a WordPress coder to help you out). And given WordPress.org and a lot of its plugins are free, getting someone to sort out your technical issues can be challenging.

ONGOING MAINTENANCE
Picture
WEEBLY - All of this is monitored and managed by Weebly in the background, so you don’t have to stress about ensuring that your site is up to date, or worry about some tools causing conflicts and negatively impacting your website.

Picture
WORDPRESS - When WordPress updates, your template and the plugins that you are using will also need to be updated as well to ensure that they continue to work properly with the latest version of WordPress. This is up to the template / plugin creator to do so. Keep in mind that there will be ongoing maintenance work, as it is not uncommon for certain functions to “break” when WordPress have updates.

PRICING AND FINANCIAL COMMITMENT
Picture
WEEBLY -  Using Weebly to build your website is much like an all-inclusive package where all your website building needs are provided and serviced by Weebly. You won’t have to piece together bits and pieces like you would have to with WordPress. $60 (Starter plan) to $540 per year (Performance plan).

Picture
WORDPRESS - Your initial investment building your site with WordPress can range from $139 to over $200 per year, depending how many premium plugins you end up using.  If you hire a coder to help you build your website, make modifications or for fixing some website issues, your cost will increase quite a bit on an ongoing basis.
