Weebly


Weebly is an online, free, widget-based Web site creator, funded by micro-seed fund Y Combinator. It allow users to create pages by dragging and dropping different page elements onto a page and filling in the content using widget style format. It competes with WebStarts, Wix, Yola (Synthasite), Webs, Jimdo, uCoz, and other web hosting and creation sites. The site was created by Chris Fanini, David Rusenko and Dan Veltri, and Chris Fanini, alumni of Penn State for an undergraduate degree. Times Magazine named it as 4th best website of 2007.

In June 2008, it started allowing users to create password-protected pages and upgrade file size limits, as well as receive additional support services by simply signing up for a pro account. Weebly is compatible with almost all of the web browsers like Safari, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Firefox.

Weebly considers WYSIWYG editing interface as its flagship feature. The interface allows users to easily and quickly "drag and drop" content into the currently open Web page. It also provides a blog editor, methods for implementing and customizing its library of themes, and a policy of no forced advertising on even free accounts' Web sites.

Pro accounts include more capabilities such as the adding of in-site audio or video content, "premium" support, and site statistics.
