Using Weebly

Drop and Drag Website Design

Weebly is a wonderful option for those who do not know coding and need a website.  There is a free option for a general website design, a commerce choice and an education version.  They have an affliate program as well as an "enterprise platform."

I use Weebly for a school library website and have found it relatively easy to use if a bit frustrating at times.  Today I did a bit more work on the site - changed the design and added a few resources.  The frustration is fading quickly as I learn to work with the tools Weebly has.  At first I would drag and drop an image box onto the web page and find it took a horizontal space that could not be divided in half.  I could put other icons under and form a vertical row but nothing to the left or right side.
After playing with the text and image boxes on the page I found you could put an image box in a text box and that would divide the horizontal space in half and two icons could fit in that area.

What suprised me about Weebly is how extensive their offerings are.  Weebly labels their business solutions as Partner Programs which includes the affliate program.  The commission for sales from their affliate program is 30%.  The enterprise platform is for larger companies which either sell websites or offer sites to their various branches or staff.

The newest offer from Weebly is still in progress.  They will be working with hosting companies and domain registrars a program.

Thank you Weebly!
