Weebly is similar to Drupal in that the CMS is structured like a website builder. Users can create a website in just a few steps using drag-and-drop features. Basic functions include search engine optimization and are free of charge. However, the web domain in the basic plan is Weebly-branded. For personalized domains, Weebly charges $9 per month. However, the Connect plan doesn’t come with advanced functionalities.
The Pro version costs $16 per month and boasts advanced features such as telephone and chat support, and extensive site statistics to measure web traffic. Versions below the Pro plan feature adverts. In the Pro plan all adverts are removed.
Users can integrate a shopping cart when selecting the Pro plan. Although Weebly divides its offering into websites and online stores, the Pro and Business rates already include online store features. To manage articles or discount codes, you will need the Business plan from $25 per month if paid annually.
Weebly is a great alternative to Drupal for beginners because of its ease of use. However, costs can add up for more advanced features. It is a good idea to compare Weebly’s professional plans with those of other providers before making a decision.
