Better Alternatives to Weebly

• WordPress.com: Most flexible. Free plan available, or $4-$45/month for premium. Thousands of themes and plugins.
• Wix: Best drag-and-drop builder for non-technical users. Free plan or $17-$159/month.
• Squarespace: Best-looking templates. $16-$49/month. Great for portfolios, restaurants, and creatives.

Migrate to Square Online (Free)

Since Square owns Weebly, migration is relatively smooth:

1. Go to squareup.com/online-store
2. Sign in with your Weebly/Square account
3. Square may automatically import some of your Weebly content
4. Rebuild any pages that didn't transfer
5. Point your domain to Square Online
6. Free plan includes: online store, unlimited products, Square payment processing

Bottom line: With Weebly being sunset, migration is inevitable. Move sooner rather than later while all your content is still accessible. Square Online is the free path of least resistance, but WordPress or Squarespace are better long-term investments if you want a professional website.
