Weebly to WordPress

The usual comments we receive from people when discussing about using WordPress for their website is usually along the lines of… “I know that WordPress is better. I tried using WordPress in the past but found it harder to use compared to Weebly”.

Years ago, our response to these comments where usually along the lines of “Sure! Let’s go with Weebly“.

That response was appropriate years ago. Giving the same response today would be considered very reckless and a disservice because WordPress today is a much different builder from WordPress of years ago.

If you can drag and drop, if you can click to edit, if you can use Weebly, then you can use WordPress.

If you already have a Weebly website that you wish to move or recreate outside Weebly, why would you go for an inferior website builder when there is WordPress, a website builder superior to others.

From our experience, moving to any other website building other than WordPress is simply delaying the process because you will eventually move to there.

The question for you then is, how much money and time do you wish to spend elsewhere before you eventually turn to WordPress?

Because we have used both platforms for more than a decade.

But more importantly, we know just how “easy to use” Weebly is and we understand why you would want to have such experience replicated for you in an environment where you will get most value from your website.

Absolutely! Our Weebly to WordPress service is all about building an effective WordPress website with an extremely easy to use building, similar to the Weebly builder.

Ability to drag and drop content elements, click to edit, click to add, click to remove, etc. all without needing to learn any special skills.

You will have 100% ownership and access. We encourage our clients to create an hosting account using their own details so that they (clients) have 100% ownership and control of over their websites and associated services.

With the ownership belonging to the client, we are given designer access to design, build and maintain the website.

Your domain doesn’t have to be transferred or moved. Your domain, emails and other services associated with your domain will not be affected.

You can continue to host/manage those services from its current host, and we are still able to use your domain for the WordPress website without having to move or transfer it anywhere else.

Another great news is that it’s very likely that your domain host also offers WordPress hosting which means we can build your WordPress website within the same environment as your domain services.

It has already been pointed out that your Weebly website will not be affected, altered or taken offline during the entire process of building the WordPress version.

Since are creating a separate website via WordPress, we are able to work on that website independent of your Weebly website. We can build the WordPress version using a temporary domain (or sub-domain).

When the WordPress version is ready to replace the Weebly version, we simply switch your primary domain from the Weebly website to the WordPress website to publish and make it public.

It’s completely up to you! You can go ahead to un-publish that Weebly website to keep it offline and only available/accessible to you, you can choose to delete the website or your Weebly account, you can choose to cancel your Weebly subscription, etc.

Once the WordPress website is online and using the domain which was used by the Weebly website, you might not have much need for the Weebly version anymore. But you will still have access to the Weebly website. What you choose to do with the site is up to you.

Yes, 100x better.

Definitely! We understand that however easy we make the WordPress editor for you, you might still need a little time to get familiar with the new builder.

Our job is to make that “little time” much shorter for you by giving you the guidance to edit, update, and manage the website easily on your own.

Not a problem! We shall discuss such service with you. We are happy to stay on and update/manage the website for you.

Only Weebly can answer that question. If you are concerned about Weebly, you are not alone. There has been concern from Weebly users for months, if not years about the future of Weebly, especially when considering the fact that Weebly hasn’t made any meaningful update for years which is very unusual for a platform that was once very dynamic and making updates in almost monthly basis.

These has led many people (including tech experts, bloggers and analysts) to conclude that Weebly is nearing its end and showing signs of a software/program being phased-out.

Those concerns/comments became more worrisome since this cryptic update from Weebly which appears to inform its users that it could only commit to support/services through at least July, 2025. What happens after that, we don’t know yet.

This information has left a number of users (including us) wondering what will happen after July, 2025. One thing is clear however:

• If you have an important website you, you might not want to wait to find out its faith
• If you ever considered a move from Weebly, this is a reason/chance effect that move.

We are in the process of consulting with our clients to allocate adequate time/schedule ahead of time to moving and rebuilding their website as they might not want to wait to see their website to go offline before rushing to take action.

Yes, we will!
