Wix Vs Weebly – 4 main differences to help you choose the best builder

on the surface it’s hard to choose between wicks and Weebly both offer a drag-and-drop interface to build a website without a line of code both have very similar price plans but we found that there are actually important differences in today’s video will show you who should use Wix and who should use Weebly for their website the first thing to note is that both wicks and Weebly have great-looking templates it’s easy to find one that fits your
industry here is a Wix template for photographers here’s one from Weebly that would be perfect for a restaurant so if we had to pick we choose Wix because they have more templates and they generally look better but when it comes to tweaking the design wicks and Weebly have different philosophies with Wix you have complete freedom you can add external fonts you can add pictures and video animations in the background and you can reposition elements
wherever you like on the page so if you have a good eye for design and you know exactly what you want Wix is a winner here but there is one thing to mention you might have to work on the mobile version of your site too some elements could look a bit out of whack on small screens like smartphones or tablets with Weebly it’s a lot more structured you can still move things around but the layouts are on a grid and the benefit of course is that the
templates are already responsive you have less freedom but you can be certain your website will look good on any kind of screen finally one last thing to mention here Wix only lets you build websites with two sub levels of navigation with Weebly you can go as deep as you like which is great if you want to create an online maze for your users just kidding please don’t do that both services are pretty equal here you can edit meta descriptions and
titles URL names and 301 redirects but if you’re really focused on SEO you will find some downsides Weebly has a restricted use of headline tags Wix lets you go from h1 to h6 but Wix doesn’t let you edit all image alt attributes for example in image galleries as you can see here also Wix changes your images file names to something cryptic like that not SEO friendly at all if you want to rank your images on Google Wix is pretty good when it comes
to e-commerce but it has its shortcomings mainly because you can’t edit the SEO settings of your product pages and you can’t automatically import a product list to save time problematic if you have 30 items or more to manually manage Weebly lets you do both these things so it should be a clear winner here however if you rely on offline payments cash on collection for example be careful Weebly only supports online methods such as PayPal and stripe
here again both offer the standard requirements for blogging that includes tags categories text images and video and more but Weebly has a few advantages firstly you can integrate elements like slideshows surveys or products from a store secondly their editor is a bit more intuitive and easy to use so with these differences in mind here is our recommendation if you have an eye for design or you target a specific industry then Wix is a very good
solution they have the perfect templates for hotels B&BS or restaurants they also offer great solutions for musicians photographers and creatives Weebly is better for bloggers and people who want to create online stores and in general they have more options and features for complex websites especially with the unlimited levels of navigation and e-commerce options so hopefully this should give you a clearer idea and don’t forget we have an
