Weebly was acquired by Square. Product investment has declined since.
Weebly was founded in 2006 and for a decade was one of the most respected names in website building. The product was known for its clean interface, reliable hosting, and straightforward pricing. Square acquired Weebly in 2018 with the intent of bolstering its small-business software suite. Since then, the Weebly product has been gradually merged into Square's ecosystem, with new standalone Weebly features becoming rare and the roadmap increasingly difficult to track publicly.
For businesses already on Weebly with a site that works, it may continue to serve them adequately for some time. For businesses choosing a platform in 2026, building on a product with declining standalone investment is a risk. Neweb ships product updates every month, with a roadmap driven by the needs of Indian small businesses specifically. The trajectory matters when you're choosing where to build your online presence.
Pricing: Weebly costs more for less in India
Weebly's Personal plan is $10 per month (approximately ₹830) and the free domain is included only in the first year. The Pro plan at $12 and Business plan at $25 add ecommerce and advanced features. None of these plans include Google Business automation, Indian language publishing, UPI payments, or WhatsApp integration. You pay Western prices for a product that was not built for Indian market needs.
Neweb starts at ₹249 per month — roughly 70% less than Weebly's entry paid plan — and includes the free domain every year, automated GBP, weekly SEO, 14 languages, UPI QR codes, WhatsApp deep-links, and GST invoicing. For an Indian small business, Neweb delivers more value at a price point that reflects Indian market economics rather than US SaaS pricing.
My Weebly site hadn't changed in two years because nothing new was being added. Switching to Neweb felt like the platform was actually growing with my business.
What Weebly does that Neweb does not
Weebly's integration with Square POS is its strongest differentiator post-acquisition. If you run a physical retail operation that also uses Square's payment hardware and want seamless inventory sync between your in-store POS and your website, the Weebly-Square combination offers this natively. Square is not widely used in India, however, which limits this advantage for most Indian businesses.
Weebly also has a slightly more established brand in certain English-speaking markets and a longer track record of uptime. For businesses selling to international customers who may be reassured by recognising the Weebly brand, this is a marginal point in Weebly's favour — though most website visitors never see or care about what platform hosts the site.
What Neweb does that Weebly does not
Neweb automates Google Business Profile setup and weekly syncing. Weebly has no GBP integration. Neweb runs weekly SEO tunes automatically. Weebly's SEO tools are basic and manual. Neweb publishes in 14 Indian languages. Weebly supports no Indian language publishing. Neweb ships UPI QR codes, WhatsApp enquiry buttons, and GST invoice generation natively. Weebly has none of these.
Neweb is on an active development roadmap targeting Indian SMBs, with new features shipping monthly. Weebly's standalone feature development has effectively paused. For a business choosing a platform for the next three to five years, the development trajectory matters. Neweb will be better positioned in 2027 than it is today. Weebly's trajectory is less clear.
Migrating from Weebly to Neweb
Weebly allows basic content export as a ZIP archive containing your pages and blog posts. The format is simple enough to parse and import into Neweb. For a typical small business site with 5 to 15 pages, the migration takes 2 to 4 hours including DNS propagation. Domain transfer from Weebly's registrar (typically owned by Square now) follows standard ICANN transfer procedures and takes 5 to 7 days. Alternatively, you can point DNS at Neweb while keeping domain registration at Weebly's registrar during the transition.
Most businesses migrating from Weebly choose to rebuild on Neweb templates rather than directly migrate content, because the Neweb templates are faster, more SEO-ready, and better suited to Indian business contexts. The rebuild typically produces a site that outperforms the old Weebly site on Lighthouse scores within the first week.
Indian context: what Weebly never built for India
Weebly was built for small businesses in the United States and has never materially localised for India. There are no Hindi or regional language templates, no UPI payment support, no WhatsApp integration, no GST tools, and no Google Business automation. Indian businesses using Weebly are essentially using a product that treats them as an afterthought of the global SMB market.
Neweb exists because the Indian market deserves a product built specifically for it. The template library includes Indian business categories. The SEO defaults are tuned for Indian search behaviour. The support team speaks in the context of Indian business challenges — GST compliance, JustDial presence, festival-driven promotions, and the nuances of regional language SEO. For an Indian small business, the difference between a globally-generic tool and an India-specific one is visible in every part of the product.
