Introducing the All New Weebly

5/2/2013

Our mission is to help you create a unique, high-quality site that you're proud to share. About a year ago, we set out to reimagine what the future of site creation would look like not only today, but two years from now. Through the feedback you shared with us in our surveys and the insights we gained from talking with many of you by phone, you told us how to build a better service to meet your needs.

Today, we're proud to announce the result of these efforts -- The All New Weebly!

Please note: Since the new changes are in beta for existing users, we'll be gradually prompting you to turn on to these new features over time. To activate these new features immediately, click the button below.

Turn on the All New Weebly

The All New Site Creator

We completely rebuilt our Site Creator from the ground up to give you a more modern, powerful and intuitive way to create and update your site. Many improvements were made both to the design and the user interface, but at the core, it's the same Weebly you know and love.

The Mobile Editor

Now you can see how your mobile site looks on iPhone and Android, choose a unique mobile theme and edit your mobile site directly from your computer. Whether you make updates to your main site or to your mobile site, we make sure both sites are always in sync.

The Site Planner

Get ideas and inspiration to help you create a high-quality site or even to have fun refreshing your current one. Site Planner shows you how to organize your information, layout your pages, choose your site address and grow your traffic. And, best of all, it can be easily accessed at anytime while you are working on your site.

Start Something

After reading your survey responses and talking to many of you on the phone, we were truly inspired by your entrepreneurial spirits and the amazing sites that you have started on Weebly. Our new tagline, "Start Something" reflects the energy, passion and determination you all have shown taking a leap to start a site of your own!

The new Weebly was lovingly hand-crafted here in San Francisco. We're proud to share this update, and we can't wait to show you what we're working on next!

Well, That is why since the first time I visited your site (at least 5 years ago) I truly believed in your potential and I decided to buy your Pro service. Yes, there are still more things to be improved or implemented (such as a table element) but Weebly is a really good website-creator service, probably the best. Keep walking Weebly!

That's absolutely true. The new updates really look good, and got me all excited to explore them. Thanks again Weebly!

I have spent the last 10 minutes trying to think of how to say what's on my mind without sounding negative and/or judgmental. So here is my opinion:

I really don't think that spending a bunch of time changing our user interface is a productive use of your developer's time. And I certainly wouldn't consider it to be an "update".

I am curious to know why whoever is in charge over there decided to use the development team's time to disrupt the existing user interface instead of adding something useful to the software. How does it benefit and/or add value to your users? How does it add more income to Weebly?

When I hear you say your team has been working on "updates", I am expecting to log in and be able to use some type of new added functionality. I do not expect to log in and become disappointed because now I have to scroll "side to side" in order to see the entire width of my website.

Also, your "mobile site editor" might get you compliments from the less savvy users because they don't know what a "real" mobile site editor should look like. Do you not realize that most of us who are paying customers would gladly pay you more money to use a REAL mobile site editor?

This current round of "updates" is just one more example of you guys failing to implement anything that is truly useful. If this continues, I will be forced to take my business elsewhere.

Perhaps you guys should work on suggestions from "paying" customers instead of appeasing the freebie users?

Me too, my site was created 6 months ago and has won many visits eventhough I'm not very expert in these things, but it is entertaining enough to create my website.

5/22/2013 06:33:37 am

I agree with Chris M.
And more... I would have expected to have a straightforward way to revert to the old (and better serving the purpose) editor.

David T Manning

5/23/2013 01:55:23 am

I agree with Chris M. Why Oh Why did you have to do this. I have used Weebly for the past 3 years and have built over 30 websites for clients on the system.

There is a saying in the UK 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'.

It would be better to keep the original format and make additions to it, rather than create an ugly and unfriendly format!

LHdx

5/28/2013 05:46:27 am

Well I have to say that I also agree with Chris M.

Have been a paying customer using this site for years and I also believe in that old saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Several features are actually more time and trouble and that is one thing I do not appreciate. I do not have all day to make a post or update a blog.

It is true the old editor has it's problems. So I would expect a new one to have those corrected. However, now we have new problems AND the old glitches remain.

I hope you will consider "updating" your "update" and get the kinks out.

JonB

6/1/2013 02:28:36 am

I'm with ChrisM on this one:
I see no significant change in functionality, just a larger interface that takes up more screen space and...
Even worse: monochromatic icons that are harder to distinguish (why would you take away the colour information from icons? - makes no sense to me!)
I do like Weebly, but I don't like it as much now :-(
How about adding functionality:
Tables
A colour picker (so I don't have to manually figure out and enter hex colours)
GUI theme editor - I want to change a theme's details by directly editing the object, not having to go into the code. (i.e. Change the font colour of a heading changes all equivalent headings in the theme)

...and don't force me to accept the new look. I am very happy and familiar with the old one.

Josephine link

8/26/2013 05:24:00 am

I am also with ChrisM on all this. I have used weebly for quite some time now but this latest changeover is dreadful. If some people like it, fine, but for those who do not wish it, do not force it upon us. If these changes stay and we cannot keep the old format, I for one will be moving my websites elsewhere as soon as possible.
I had uploaded and used my own background etc which was working fine. As soon as it went to the change over, it was a mess, so I changed back and wish to stay that way.. Weebly support was less than helpful and I am right in the midst of launching a new business, so now I have to go back to square one at a very busy time. Weebly support suggested I just use their backgrounds. No!! I want my website to stay how it was, look like it does, which is individual. Very disappointed.

Otto link

9/15/2013 06:00:23 am

I agree with Chris M also. I don't want to learn new 'tricks' that are of no use or improvement to the functionality. Moreover, I read several more comments that scare me from even trying: I had extensively changed and customized the template of my site, and I certainly do not want to have the kind of problems that Josephine describes. So far, I have 8 websites (one of them with well over 500 pages) and I would have neither the time nor patience to massage them all in case things screw up as described.

Totally agreed, i going to try this theme

Bri

It's called the "multiple columns" element

Catherine H link

5/2/2013 03:05:59 am

Actually, multiple columns and table are not the same. To build a table with multiple columns, you have to stack multiple columns and pull elements into each "cell". There is now way to line up multiple columns width other than by sight. What a PITA!! Tables end up looking messy and need constant micro adjustments. I like Weebly too, but I agree there must be an easier way to manage tables.

Nils Lehneis

5/2/2013 11:53:34 pm

Try this...create table in Word...make a screenshot image using Snipping Tool or similar...enter in Weebly as image or use Scribd feature to upload doc.

Paul Mathews

5/5/2013 04:59:21 am

@Bri, there are no circumstances under which you should ever use the multiple columns element to mimic a table. Take a look at how the multiple columns element renders in mobile view and you'll understand why.

Catherine H link

5/29/2013 01:35:18 am

I realize I can create an image of a table, but what I want is an editable table element for our site that didn't look like a hot mess in the mobile version of the site.

Ann link

8/20/2013 12:25:01 am

Yes.

8/27/2013 12:48:32 pm

I agree with Chris as well. Not really seeing any "updates".
And JonB... the new side bar - all in gray... all similar icons... quite the PITA! I knew where everything was on the toolbar now I need to scroll down and seriously read... sorry colorful pix made it far easier to edit and add quickly!

I turned on the Beta features in Account settings and I'm still getting the old editor in both Firefox and Chrome.

Glory link

8/5/2013 11:13:46 pm

Hi, when will the new features be open to education accounts? We have to start teaching the new teachers about Weebly soon. It would be better to show them the new interface right from the beginning rather than the old one just to have them be thrown off by the new interface again after a few months. Thank you.

I’ve my own domain and I've recently upgraded my account to "pro package", if I need urgent technical issues, Weebly should fix them immediately, other than that, Weebly’s reliability and credibility will be on stake.
I’m a professor and I can’t “upload new file” since last week, I did email them many times with no reply, except the auto one. I really disappointed from their technical services, if they have technical issues, they suppose to tell us in advance. I have hundreds of students who are waiting for assignments answers, and I’m not able to upload them, I really can’t think of any other solution at this time.

I can not stress enough the disappointment I have been having getting videos to stream from my weebly pro account. Not only is the quality poor but the video keeps freezing as well. This occurs from my home computers- pc and mac, as well as my school computers. (you tube videos continue to play well on all!) I have prepaid my pro account for about 3 years but feel I may need to be looking into better alternatives for my videos in the future and steering my coworkers in directions away from weebly (i have long pushed them in the Weebly direction) I do hope you can find a solution to these problems in the near future to keep me as a satisfied customer :(

Jim C link

9/5/2013 06:56:57 am

I don't mind the new interface but unlike many of the complainers who posted here without leaving actual suggestions, I'd like to add the following comments: the lack of a 'drop-down' menu element sucks, the lack of a table element is unfortunate, the fixed line spacing is a pain, choosing colors with a standard 216 web swatch palette would be great, mobile version of site should match my customized theme instead of me choosing a new mobile theme that kind of comes close. The choice of button styles and color options is ridiculously lame (I have to look for code?). And how about a 'click to call' element for mobile? Although I'm not a fan of the founder of godaddy.com, I have used their proprietary site builder and it has ALL the features that Weebly pro lacks. Almost everything you'd want to customize can be right from the GUI - individual text leading, upload background images, add tables, etc. I don't think I had to edit any css or html code except for minor things. At first I was going to use Weebly to rebuild one of my sites hosted with godaddy, but now I'm thinking I'll stick with the godaddy builder for that one. On a positive note, the new sliders in Weebly are VERY good. That's all a client needed to see to be convinced. (not sure if godaddy.com offers sliders yet). Overall, it seems Weebly has made a few complex things very easy to do (sliders for example) but continues to prevent the standard things from being easy to create (drop down menus?) Time to wake up those programmers, brew more coffee, and make Weebly better. Now please.

I like the fuul screen view and the ability to copy something to the same page - other than that your new editor is a step backward for me. You removed two text boxes that I use everyday, forcing me to copy old boxes that I onced used and now must cut and paste to use them. Weebly support suggestion that I try another theme - you gotta be kidding me. Weebly, if you're reading this, please go back to the old editor. Other suggestion for improvment are a spell checker, the ability to use the tab key in chrome, and the abilty to group elements together and copy or move them as a group to another page.

This is the first time I have used weebly and I have built two sites so far, or at least I tried. The first time after spending hours of work on a site I come back to work on it and the entire site has been deleted and I receive an email implying that the company that I built the site for was not real and fraudulent! Totally not true and I can prove it! I am generally a reasonable person and possess self-control, but I've just about had it! Being called a liar is not what I thought this company would do; and delete my entire site to boot! I have the email to prove it, and I will post it, but likely they will block it! Okay, that's the first site. I am working on a second site and had upgraded to pro and I come back and all my work is gone again! A site about health and lifestyle changing for the better. Not a site that has any negative components whatsoever! Weebly needs to make it right, it really sucks to have spent hour upon hour working on a site to have it all lost or deleted! Not just once, but three times now! Not even received an apology! Its not right! Its relevant, I started something and lost it all!

David S

10/3/2013 04:29:42 am

Visited my site today... old editor gone.. new editor behaves like it's on speed.. toolbars flash around the screen, getting in the way...in many areas of the text boxes, the font has changed size and can only be made smaller by cutting and re pasting, then manually selecting black font with the color-picker because black is not in the preset choice of colors! Maybe these faults are not directly related to the new editor, but I have a job that doesn't allow me the several hours to put my site back to what it was a few days ago, Let's seeThere has to be another solution for small business users out there.

I have been charged with creating the school corporation website and three building sites, using Weebly. Our launch date is June 30th. I don't know if the new changes include a news ticker or any other "easy to use" feature that would be helpful, but it would be nice to have a few more options before my deadline. I'm new at this process and struggling somewhat. (My Beta features are enabled, and I see the old format.)

I feel the new "grey" sidebar disappearing will actually SCARE folk off, especially newbies, it's hard enough getting a technophobe onboard, this one colour fits all set up is hard on the eyes & hard to find what you want, nay, need to get the job done.
strikes me as actually driving folk away, i'll have a heck of a time getting folk to try now if it's all monobloc (for starters) ..it made me wince, it made me lose my way within weebly & i'm very familiar with the system that has worked well till now.

I despair.

First of all, I LOVE Weebly, so don't get me wrong all you hard working developers. :) I think it is a really nice simple platform. I think the employees at Weebly do really great work and look like a fun group of people from your website photos. Kudos to you.

I try to find free sites for clients, that are easy to use, update, manage, change, etc. I am fairly new to Weebly (October 2012 was my first site). I try to play with new platforms, and then see if they are worth paying for hosting as a more long term solution. For most small businesses and non profits, Weebly fits the bill. I went Pro in December and am still in the experimental stages with what I might use it for.

I just started to recommend Weebly to clients/potential clients, and am debating about doing the developer price model, and am still sort of in the exploratory stages of what I can potentially do with Weebly. I have had so much success with Blogger and other similar platforms, but think Weebly might be easier for non-tech clients. The biggest selling point is how easy it is to set up and manage after the site is built. If you take away from that, it loses its selling point for me, since I can also have them use platforms like Blogger which give more customization options, templates, better html control etc. and they can host free with their own logo/copyright if they choose not to pay for hosting.

I love the ease of use and am trying to talk clients into using it. I have a potential client that I am trying to get off of GoDaddy and showed how easy Weebly would be for them to update if I build the site on Weebly versus just modifying what they have on GoDaddy. They really liked the easy to see icons/widgets when I did a demo. I showed that you can get a much more professional looking site without all the hassle of GD. Then I get home and see this new beta. Ugh! Exactly what the client doesn’t like.

While I think the left navigation is fine on the new beta (though icons should be smaller and less having to scroll), I agree with the gray color thing. Really, REALLY hate that and it is not something non-tech/designer people appreciate. Low contrast does not work well with visually impaired people (the colored icons with distinct graphics of the old against white is perfect). I don't mind the re-arranging of where the icons/widgets are to make it more logical. I don't like that some of the functionality is missing, but maybe this is just part of your beta testing (photos need the function back that let you select to have the photo enlarge upon clicking).

Having worked in computer software for a few years and learning from our mistakes in beta testing, I encourage you to have as part of your beta an opportunity for new/potential customers as well as those not yet on Pro to test and compare the old and new side-by-side as well as a detailed explanation of where the items on the old are in the new, if things were deleted, why...as well as a checklist of features that you want feedback on. It is ALL about usability of the end user and even if things are terrific on the back end, if it hinders on the front end, you need to re-think it.

I worked for a company that lost $1 million a month on a new roll out because they wouldn't listen to really simple feedback in beta testing. They only listened to all the kudos and anyone who questions the group think was dismissed. Again, multimillion dollar mistake and hurt their reputation.

Kill the gray. It is boring and depressing in addition to visually obstructive. Read a little about the psychology of color usage. Weebly as a brand is a “happy fun place”, and I recommend sticking with that. Don't assume non-tech people understand the lingo of long term developers, what all the icon symbols mean at a glance, etc. Many small business owners don't spend 12 hours a day in front of a computer, phone or tablet like we do. :)

I can work around the barriers of what I don't like. However, consider that someone who is looking to build or recommend Weebly for people who are not developers will have a harder time recommending Weebly as well as new customers who just want a simple site for their personal or business use. Keep a clean, crisp, and easy-to- see visual with your graphics in the icons and with your color usage. Sometimes in an attempt to be more modern and Web 2.0, there is an overreach and the more logical, seamless processes are lost. I am probably in the minority here, based on already posted comments, but I am still struggling to understand precisely what the improvement from a user perspective is? Thank you.

I have to say that I wasn't please with some of the Weebly improvements of recent past. I thought they were slow in implementing new templates for example, and I'm usually the one you'll see that's posted some very critical comments on the lack of ingenuity with the updates. I'm very please with this one. It's about time!! I still think this could have been done last year but I'm not complaining. I'll actually be building a website for a client on Weebly in the coming weeks.

What I'm confused about is your struggle in understanding what the improvements are. The UI is 1000000% better than what it was. What you need to stop doing is trying to "convince" people on doing things. They are your clients - make suggestions and tell them why those suggestions are great ones. If they (the client) doesn't like it, then move to the next one. If you're not able to get a client from GoDaddy's midnight (whatever it's called) web builder, then you're in the wrong business.

If your non tech clients don't understand the icons - use it as an opportunity to help your business grow by offering monthly maintenance. Besides if they do not understand the icons - then they do not understand the English language either because there are words beneath the icons. How much more self explanatory can it be??

MDC link

5/8/2013 11:44:57 am

Cheryl, I do agree, I do NOT like the grey icons. Also, JXL, I am new at making websites, and I'm making my OWN website right now, so "offering monthly maintenance" to a client is NOT an option, because I'M the client. I'm almost done creating my site, so I seriously hope that any changes that are made are for the better, and not something that will cause frustration. I hope that it is kept simple for us "Newbies", instead of making things more for the "pros". That's why I chose Weebly, because it seemed to be simple & easy for us beginners.

Lisa S link

5/9/2013 01:58:25 pm

Great comments, Cheryl. Well-thought out and I totally agree. I'm a "newbie", and in no way am I familiar with developer's language. Having just set up my website (very slowly), I was a bit dismayed to hear that Weebly were going to change it (even if it is for the better). I think I was even approached to participate in some "beta testing", but was a bit reluctant (and time-poor). However, I appreciate the gesture.

I'm hugely affected by colour - and find it hard to work on a site that is monochromatic or "grey", and hope that you listen to the comments about this.

Love your work, also love how my web-site (finally) looks, and sincerely hope that your new system is just as user-friendly, and doesn't change my site.

timfg

5/11/2013 08:13:09 pm

Absolutely agree with this - when I first turned on the new editor I was sitting in a conservatory on a very sunny Spring morning. This isn't ideal for using a laptop, but it's not so bad that I choose to go elsewhere. Until I turned on the new Weebly editor... You cannot see the icons AT ALL in bright sunlight!

Focusing all the effort on style changes and new facilities for freebie users strikes me as a bit of a lost opportunity. There are some functionality deficits in Weebly that I would really like to see addressed and which, in some cases, are quite trivial - bold/italic in hyperlinks, for example. And I would LOVE to see a better approach to creating a new blog post than 'log into the site, select the domain, locate the blog you want to post to, hit the new post button...'

Agneta

5/26/2013 04:10:58 pm

Thank you for your posting. I will not start using the beta version because of the gray icons. It's simple. Colour is creative; I want a colourful work environment. I've been working with different platforms for several years and Weebly is the best tool yet because of its crispness and the ease you work with. I got the features I need, the basic tools and the Pro version to build my site in a user friendly 'lego' environment. And, because of this, I can concentrate on content. Please keep the colours and the simplicity, Weebly. Thank you for your good work.

Ben

5/31/2013 01:25:37 am

JXL, you don't even use Weebly as a platform (from what I could tell) and you just come across as a tool from your comments.

After taking a look at your graphic design abilities, I don't think you need to be giving color advice to anyone.

Cheryl's issues with the redesign are completely valid, and I agree with her on most points.

The real issue I have with Weebly right now is that there still isn't a straightforward way to make a table.

Of course, I still love Weebly for the ease of use for my clients, but if these redesigns keep happening, I will have unhappy customers who just want something that works and won't change. Most of my clients are older and are not tech-savvy.

Dave

8/23/2013 04:03:34 am

Totally agree. I detest the new site and am going to have problems with my customers FOR SURE! I just got them used to using the system and now I'm going to have them all calling ME trying to figure out the new drab format. I'm really upset.
As far as I'm concerned the only way to salvage this debacle is to allow us to stick with the present (old) system. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!

Gary the Admin link

5/7/2013 04:58:07 am

I totally agree with this one. The use of color improves both speed of use as well as initial comprehension and marketability. The decision to go all grey was not favorable to your long term profitability. This is what is referred to as outsmarting yourself. Please hear my plea to re-asess this idea.

How long do you expect us to wait around?

Your current updates have not made it any easier for me to build a better-looking website using your software nor has it made it any easier for me to collect money from my website visitors.

I have spent the last 35 minutes reading EVERY SINGLE COMMENT on this page and I realized that most of the people who left comments telling you guys how great you are for all these updates never mention why they feel that way.

Sseth link

6/1/2013 01:13:45 am

I too am a paying customer. I like the ease of the old weebly but can manage with the new look. Not optimal.
I am glad to hear about the upgrades for ecommerce. This has been the thing most lacking. Because we sell unique items the shopping cart does not work to always allow customers to order multiples and it is very tiresome to have to go in and mark an item sold after it sells because the software does not do it.
Coupon codes and other things would also be great but mostly the ability to set a number of a specific item and when they are sold the shopping cart will not let more be purchased.

I hope this comes very soon as we sell hundreds of items per day and it is a real pain to manage our inventory right now.

Yes, this is a feature that is critical to me as well. I need to have users register, log in and then have selected information available to them based on what they paid for and have that information available in timed increments. Essentially a 'membership' site they pay a monthly fee for.

You could try using Sentry Login (http://sentrylogin.com/). It's quite inexpensive ($5 per month) and dead easy to implement in Weebly. It allows you to add a log in box to your site (they manage the username and passwords for you) and selectively protect whichever pages you want. You can easily integrate it with PayPal to provide a paid subscriber type service (recurring payment specified by you).

Love the new editor, but some of my newbies might freak out, they are just learning it. But, I can't find the little green arrow that used to be in the elements to allow you to move or copy it to another page. And it would be really nice to be able to copy an element to the page your on.

Click on an element to edit it. In the element toolbar that pops up, you'll see a title. That title has a drop-down arrow next to it that allows you to move/copy the element. It's not available for paragraphs or columns yet, unfortunately, but we'll have that in place shortly.

It would be great if you could make changes to the mobile site that would be different than the desktop site. The slideshow that I have on the desktop does not show up on the mobile version. No change of button colors or build out customizations for mobile themes, so that feature is really useless. I would say stick with dudamobile.com or fiddlefly.com if you want more customization as weebly mobile is here, but not in a competitive way!

I preferred having the elements toolbar on the top of the screen rather than the side. With it on the side, I cannot see the entire width of my web pages and must scroll from side to side. Very, very annoying and bad for editing.

Other than that- glad to see the mobile editor! Keep up the good work, and please give us the option to dock the elements toolbar at the top of the screen rather than the side.

I like the new design and colour scheme, as I am fan of all kind of blue :-)
The only thing that worrying me are letter weight of sites names.When you log in to your account, there is list of your sites, show up firstly.
Names of sites are now presented with fonts of lower weight and thus, harder to read. In this case of fonts, I liked the previous version.
Anyway, I love when Weebly come up with something new. Cheers!

Hey guys. Awesome update!!!

The only thing I am puzzled about is that having the ability to make changes using the mobile layout instantly changes content in the main website. This does NOT make sense to me. I think it would be better to NOT update the main site after an edit in the mobile site, because many times (depending on which template) the organization of the mobile display is far from optimal.

Well, it's nice to see that things get improved !
Though, I am sure that many of weebly users will agree that the parts that need MOST attention are the functionality parts, not so much the "modern look of the editor" ... I don't say isn't neat... because it is. But, what benefit does it add to me, the user, if the functionality is still limited and buggy?
Maybe the e-commerce feature should be improved, google maps (as it's buggy), add a table feature, to make themes more "parametric" (like instead of providing a fixed set of colors, to let the user choose the color theme, from a color picker), then a more robust file manager (to structure uploaded files in folders and to be able to use same file multiple times, not to upload it each time is needed)... and so on.

Tell me if I'm wrong... or right :D

Well done with these improvements to what was already a very user friendly set up.

I moved my photography site and blog over to Weebly Pro only a short time ago, and I can truly say that Weebly has exceeded all my expectations -- and this is after quite a few years experience with other hosting arrangements.

There is one thing, though, that I feel needs immediate attention: I implore you to improve email support. Previous to being a Weebly user, I was accustomed to getting replies within a day at the most. Surely you should be able to match this, especially for paying users...

So, when are we going to get Anchors!? It's very frustrating to have to create custom html anytime I want to link within a page. Kinda takes away from the whole easy, drag and drop thing. Plus, I'd like to be able to create a mini side menu for pages with a lot of text so people can jump around easily.

The new layout is okay, but I don't see that the functionality has really changed. All that's different is the packaging. The old set up was working fine for me so I don't see the advantage of the new one. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just that if you're going to spend time improving things, then feature changes would be more appreciated instead of window dressing.

I agree ! ... as a matter of fact, I said something similar few comments above... good thing it's improved. Too bad it's not where it really matters.
Let's just hope that Weebly reads this and don't just let us to talk here...

I have to say. I turned it on and gave it a look. I quickly went back to the old editor. Please don't pull a Facebook on us and force the changes eventually. I have been using the old editor for years and I love it. That is the reason why I chose Weebly. I love all the updates and features you have done so far but if you force this on me and may have to get new sites somewhere else. I currently hold two PRO accounts. The new editor is not netbook friendly. I'm begging you.

Dawn link

5/10/2013 11:36:56 am

I totally agree! Let us keep the old editor if we love it! I am just getting my sites started, and I feel so discouraged and scared now that you will take away what I most loved about Weebly and why I chose it!

Warning! All of the links on my yet-to-be-published site were changed to the 404 page, requiring me to go back and relink everything. Good thing I had not published it yet. Weebly, next time you implement a change, how about sending us an e-mail letting us know so we can make sure nothing is broken. Or better yet, do something so those links won't break before making the change. I hate to think my customers would be clicking on "request a quote" and getting my 404 page!

Weebly Support link

5/7/2013 06:30:50 am

Nothing in this update would have caused your links to break and we have not had any similar reports from other users. Any time you experience a problem like this, you need to e-mail [email protected] with as much detail as possible so that we can assist you. We do review these blog comments, but the support e-mail is monitored by our entire staff around the clock so that is the best way to get assistance fast.

5/4/2013 02:12:40 am

I like the update but I can't seem to find the "paragraph with title" button anywhere in the new editor. I hope it comes back for the final version, because it would be a real drag if it's just gone forever for no reason. Unless my eyes are just no good and I skimmed over it...

Daniel link

5/4/2013 02:39:29 am

Now it's called "Image + Text" and it basically serves the same purpose

derei

5/4/2013 03:16:05 am

Daniel, I am afraid that you are mistaking... "Image + Text" replaces the "Paragraph with Picture" element... is absurd to replace a HEADING (<h2>...</h2> for example) with a IMAGE :)))) ...
I'm guessing that Weebly thought to remove for good the "Paragraph with Title" element, and to keep the title and text as separate entries. That could be a good idea IF WE COULD DECIDE THE h NUMBER (1-6) for title... so, it would be more SEO friendly. (Attention WEEBLY, this one is for you, regading heading number, maybe you read this)

Daniel

5/5/2013 11:40:06 am

derei, I'm not understanding. The old Paragraph + Picture's only difference was the Title was included. This is better, because you can easily drag the title element above Text+Image and do the same thing...

As far as the h tags, <h1-h6>TEXT HERE</h1-h6>

That's pretty simple

Daniel

5/5/2013 11:41:11 am

Just reread, I see what you are saying but it only takes a second or two extra to drag in the 2 separately. What's the big worry here?

derei

5/5/2013 06:19:28 pm

The BIG PROBLEM is that you confuse a PICTURE with a PARAGRAPH... let me be clear: a picture is what you take at birthdays to remember how silly you looked when somebody smashed a piece of cake in your face.
A paragraph is a piece of text (like what I'm replying you now).
Plain and simple... I just corrected your "Image + Text" explanation... (btw image and picture describe same thing).
Tony above was talking about "Paragraph with Title" and it does not include any images/pictures... read again, more carefully ;)

Bruce England link

10/16/2013 03:41:18 am

I agree that "title" and "image" are two different things and should be dealt with separately in the UI. In any case, the "paragraph with title" function is described in the help and elsewhere. So what gives?

5/4/2013 08:02:09 am

Although I like the look and feel of the new editor, it has a SEVERE FLAW: Gone is the WYSIWYG feature of the editor because you cannot edit your site in full-width mode if the toolbar is at the left, taking up a ton of screen real estate. Putting the tool bar at the top is a necessary evil, but on the side it is poor planning.

Our school's website can now not be edited. I have clicked on the red X to delete old graphics and it says "loading and goes to 94%" and nothing happens. Also, all of the text has shifted to the right and I can't move it.

I wish I had known that this changes was coming. I tried the "new editor" and have know idea how to access our pages. I see the titles, but none of the content. I have clicked on title, etc. and nothing shows up in the workspace.

I have no idea how to edit our old content.

It looks like the drag and drop options are now gone. :(

Also, photos can't be edited in the photo gallery anymore. All of my landscape photos import into landscape and I can't turn them around. I love the added freedoms to manipulate the themes with fonts and colors and the new themes look great!

I'm ambivalent towards the changes. Most of which seem to be more a triumph of style over substance. Got to agree with those who hate the heavy grey. I liked the idea of a mobile editor however I was disappointed to find that I could not make independent changes to the mobile section only. For example moving a piece of text up or down on the mobile template is also moved on the main site after publishing - would like to see a feature that gives us the option to apply the changes to both or just to mobile.

Also my bête noire concerning page management for larger websites still has not been addressed. Rather than the page list independently scrolling the full page scrolls making it a pain in the you know what if you haver to make substantial changes and updates to sites that have several hundred pages.

It used to fine up until late last year when some code changes were made *sigh*

Finally I have also noticed that since the new changes were introduced that editing has become considerably more laggy. Hoping this is just a passing phase.

I'm happy about the new interface and mobile preview, but unfortunately, I can't create mobile-specific pages. If I change something on the mobile version of the site that I don't want changed on my desktop site (for example, I want something to be at the top, but I want it at the top right column of my home page) how do I get around this?

I am seriously considering leaving my other platforms for just weebly . We build websites and mobile marketing for small buisness owners and they have such an EASY time with the WYSIWYG editor , it's great.

Great update - read the comments, both good and bad and I kind of agree with both. Love your work Weebly - but maybe we could have seen something a little more necessary, like a more automated e-Commerce feature with stock control and different options or perhaps a members sign-up/log-in facility which can take individuals through to specific pages depending on their log in details. I read your support teams answer saying there is an e-Commerce feature coming later in the year - hopefully it won't be too long will it? I have the possibility of getting some more clients on in quick succession soon - and some will be very e-Commerce led.

Don't get me wrong, the update looks great and companies always need to evolve.... but maybe you should have evolved in a different direction? Anyway - as I say, love you Weebly - keep plugging away!

Dawn link

5/10/2013 03:49:36 am

I have loved Weebly from the beginning, and have eagerly awaited its evolution. However, I totally agree these changes are fixing what was not broken and ignoring the necessary.

We need to be able to control inventory and SOON! I will have to find a more e-commerce friendly option if not. Also, we need the ability to drag and drop elements and upload photos from our mobile devices. Many sites have this! Is Weebly for serious revenue producers, or only casual bloggers? I don't get it. Being able to stock a shop and control available inventory, have a normal shopping cart, etc. and being able to do simple mobile device optimized uploading and editing should be top priorities.

I like the new Weebly design, but sometimes when I'm at school I tend to work on my site on my Samsung Chromebook. With the old editor, editing my site used to be a breeze, and it's already a hefty memory demanding website. With the new editor however, I think the visuals are slowing down the browser completely. It lags really bad when I scroll too. Other than that, I think the new theme is fantastic. Guess I won't be using my Chromebook to edit it anymore.

Maybe I'm missing something but one thing that I used a lot in the old editor was to "MOVE/COPY" a "Multiple Column" element to another page in my site... where is that gone? I can get the individual elements to "MOVE/COPY" but not the "Multiple Column" , nor "Paragraph" ... ????

It's always a challenge to choose between making your product look better and making your product work better. I am very disappointed you chose to work on the former, which wasn't broken in any way.

Dear Weebly Developer Team!

Congratulations with your new interface. Looks promising.

What we realy need now is that you focus on the core of Weebly: Design without writing lines of codes.

Weebly is not in front when speaking about code free flexible and advanced design features. Others have come much longer.

We are not in need for more templates. We are in need for more advanced design tool features.

• Free form layout
• Free form object
• Fill object with colors or images
• Custom stroke thickness and colors
• Filling text boxes with custom colors
• Tables
• etc

Please have your focus on design options!

Weebly is talented, and i want to continue using Weebly, but if nothing happens as described, i have to leave you.

It's because Weebly s not optimized for mobile device usage and editing, I did the same thing...it freezes up and looks like you did not get your comment posted, so I kept trying and it actually posted a bunch of times. Also, I can't go back and fix a typo in my post, have to start over. Weebly, on your main page you show that most editing is done from mobile devices. When is mobile optimized editing going to become a priority on your site?

I love, love, love Weebly. From the time I looked at it until I paid for the Pro service was only 5 minutes. There are a couple of features I'd like to suggest (cause nobody asked me...).

The first is a subnav menu element (so you could run a side nav on your site and it would be global).

The other would be a way to put a slideshow in the header area, or at least the ability to put html in the header area.

Weebly is King!

Debra

5/8/2013 03:32:15 pm

OH, I forgot. I also wanted to add that the ability to "recover" (go back a version or two) or at least the ability to upload a backup copy of your site would be a stellar addition. I can't count how many times my clients have called and said, "could you make it like it was before we messed it up?"

p.s. the "footer" feature and the new mobile look are fantastic! LOVE.

sunhuntin

5/13/2013 03:48:50 pm

like you, i went back to the old platform.
tried editing a site with the new one, and half the time i couldnt place an element, or if i could, i couldnt select another nor edit the first one without publishing and going right back to the "my sites" page and starting over. took me over an hour just to add 2 lots of photo elements and the same of title and text elements [why take away the combined version of that, by the way]
in the end i gave up for a while, went to my main site and did a few simple updates there [caption changing], reverted to the old editor and then went back to the problem site, where i completed the changes without any hassles. i am only a free user, but have been here since late 09 and have put too much work into my main site to consider changing.

For a newbie, the grey buttons on the side are not very helpful, being graphic icons only. I get what they are only because of my previous experience with the very helpful graphic+text icons on the earlier version.

The new interface and improvements are all very well, but I would still like to see an easier way to manage files uploaded to my Weebly site. At the moment there is an arcane way to delete files no longer needed. Surely the Boffins at Weebly could include a 'delete' function....

Otherwise, Weebly is brilliant!

Don't like the all grey look, am semi colour blind and the old look made things easier to find and now the all grey look make all the icon look the same.
plus the icons have gotten bigger leading to more scrolling down, plus the big icon make it look like it was designed for tablet/touch screen pc and not for a desktop pc, this will make you lose customers and maybe any newbies.
to me it looks like you are trying to copy windows 8 metro theme/layout

It is obvious to those of us who actually tested out this most recent "update" that it was a complete FAIL. I say this because these new changes did NOT help us create a nicer-looking website in less time nor do they help us collect money from our customers more easily.

Here is a list of the most important "MUST HAVE" feature updates that the Weebly developers really need to be working on. I predict that if the below feature requests continue to be ignored by the management at Weebly, it will eventually cause a MASS EXODUS of customers, myself included.

Here they are in no particular order:

- Automate the new customer signup process within the Designer account (having your developers change our user interface is more important to you than changing the ancient process where we have to manually set up each new customer)

- Change the background color of specific text areas

- Anchor text links

- Automate the process of selling downloadable products to our website visitors

- Create a way for us to drag and drop a "nice looking" table onto any page and allow us to customize the colors of the following items, independently of each other: the table border, the row titles, the column titles and the regular fields. I would mainly like this to create pricing tables but it could also be used to create comparison tables. (Anyone who suggests that I use the multiple column feature to create a table should NOT be taken seriously even though I forgive them for their ignorance)

- A REAL mobile site editor that gives us the choice to make changes that are independent and do NOT affect the main version of our site (I would like to hear REAL comments from people AFTER they have used the mobile editing feature that Weebly just implemented instead of a bunch of "empty applause" from people who "plan to use this feature at a later date but still say it's such a great feature because it contains the newest buzzword they just heard and because Weebly allows them to link back to their website for each comment they leave"

- Allow us to rotate the mobile phone view of our website 90 degrees

- Add the ability for us to view our website on an iPad

- Allow us to "clone" a website from one account to another account, including all the website's content, as long as we own both accounts (Downloading a theme is NOT the same)

- End the mandatory taking/sharing of Google Adsense proceeds from your paying customers

- Customer service responses to ALL paying customers within 24 hours

Now I don't think that is asking too much. Active users: please feel free to add to this list only if it is a MUST HAVE. This is NOT some "wish list" of unreasonable requests; rather, it is a list of fairly basic features that should have already been implemented.

You can change the Adsense setting in Google, and disconnect it from Weebly, and get all the money. You just have to cut and paste the Adsense code manually into Weebly.

Jason Darrell link

5/24/2013 10:22:04 am

You're right, Chris M.
Almost everyone who's complimented the update has based their assumptions on the aesthetics.
Which, you'd have to assume also, was the brief the design team had to work to: make it look more modern.
A bit sleaker-looking under the hood, granted.
But as far as functionality goes (huge drain on processor) and any improvement to the web our customers see - the bit that makes us money - nothing.
It's a waste of money and, probably, the design team are sitting there thinking it was a waste of their talent, too.
That is unless they like making everything look pretty at the expense of actually being able to do anything.

Jean Marc R link

5/11/2013 09:26:32 pm

I completely agree with Chris M!

A few things I would like to see, maybe they are mentionned but I did not see them..

- A more manageable library of pictures uploaded, should not have to load a picture every time I want to use them.

- I found anoying having to put a text box, then a photo, and another text box, and so on, maybe there is a way to do that, but I did not figure it out...yet.

- Would be nice too, to be able to copy and paste an element from my other site, directly into my weebley site, I can do it on wordpress...

hopefully the next update is really an update, not just a change of style...

The new changes do not help or hurt in the process of making a new website. Since I do not know how to use html I have to rely on Weebly. If the changes that most people wanted were easy to make by weebly they would have made them by now. Instead of having to go to google for calendars, tables, or background Color features like you see on Div Templates it would be nice if those type of features were the big change. Weebly could put a lot of people out of business if they offered the look and features of Word Press themes. Sliders, banners, and tables oh my. Live streaming would be nice as well.

Just wish the money and time of the Weebly Team was put into paid customers, at some point... Only targeting the "Newbies" is getting old and not helping the advanced customers at all! So the basic message I have received from all your updates for the last 2 years has been for Newbies... Not one update was credited for PAID OR LOYAL CUSTOMERS! So the next update will be for whom, and should I get a head start on looking for a platform with the "NECCESARY functions" to be a top designer?

Allan link

5/14/2013 11:31:51 pm

Can anyone honestly say that the new interface has actually speeded up and improved their user experience?. Having given the update a good run over the past couple of weeks I can say that from my side editing and assembling on average takes 25% - 30% longer than before. That's just my my experience it may be have been more positive for others.

Weebly has a tendency to only hear what they want to hear and ignore the critiques. All Par for the course with tech companies and lead devs that can't resist tinkering with code and making things worse under the pretext of 'improvement' and then spending a whole lot more time trying to get back to the smooth operations they had before.

The dull grey icons may be cutting edge for junior design school web graphics but they are not user friendly and take up far too much screen real estate. The pop-ups such as those for adding pictures are way too big and ill considered e.g. look at the paltry size of the panel for adding alt tags compared to what the original interface had.

Or try regularly updating the meta tags on the manage pages section if you have a couple of hundred pages or more and you'll soon find that your will to live rapidly sinks as you have to endlessly scroll up and down to get to the save button which now incidentally automatically takes you into the main page rather than independently staying in the page management section.

I've come to learn that with each improvement Weebly make, my workflow time increases. I now tremble instead of cheer when those clever guys come up with something new. But the worst thing that really needs fixing fast ( and they will swear no one else has the problem) is that page editing time is actually significantly slower. Dragging items over and waiting for the little icon to refresh or adding html widgets or even just replacing text etc is much slower and laggy than the traditional interface. I know it's a Beta but please Weebly listen to the honest user critiques rather than swell up with pride from the fanboi contingent who tend to just say things they know you want to hear rather than what you need to hear.

Came back to say that I also don't like the gray, nor the left sidebar controls. It's distracting and awkward compared to the top control bar that I was getting used to.

I didn't mention it before because I felt you were going ahead with the change anyway. I've experienced that at other sites, where I gave my feedback, and the owners went right ahead with the change.

I changed to the new interface to try it, and was going to go back to the old, and thought "Why? They're going to change it anyway so I may as well stay with the new now, and get used to it.

I guess it's more cost-efficient for you somehow? I can't fault you for that. It's your site and I'm not even an ungraded user. If you allow us a choice, I'd probably go back to the old interface, I'm sure.

Thanks.

I appreciate efforts to 'update' Weebly but I think that the changes were not needed. I prefer things all on the top so that I can see my full screen.

As much as I love Weebly, I am in the process now of trying to find a fully functional cart and it is really a shame that efforts weren't put in that direction first before changing an interface that already worked well. I can't keep waiting as the cart I am now using on Weebly just isn't working well for SEO.

A good cart seems to be an option that most website builders have and it seems it would have made Weebly the best option for many people where changing the user interface is just a change to something that was already available.

When I am chatting on the web to others about Weeby I have never head a complaint about the interface but the fact that the cart is not usable has come up as a reason not to use it many times; just another point of view :)

Ok, if this is the new Weebly and I'm not going to have access to the interface I payed for I will NOT be renewing my Pro account.

This is the very type of thing that drove me away from Google product and having to learn new interfaces every five minutes is not worth free and certainly not worth paying for.

I believe you might need to reconsider this move. What I'm seeing and hearing is not worth paying for. This needs to be addressed and soon.

This is very disappointing.

Trust me...I've been through this before. They will change everyone over to the new interface. Unless someone from the company states very clearly that the old interface will be maintained then everyone will be there and I'm not paying for a service I won't be using. And the 'threat of ' and we can't wait to show you what we're working on next! ' doesn't bode well either. This is what Google does and why I paid for a service. If I have no control over that service as a paying customer then why not go back to where the traffic is and it's free.

Awesome update! I can see for some of the users what they're saying, but I think the updates to the interface and especially mobile (huge) are still great.

Well, here it is, straight from the horses mouth:

Hi ,

The new editor is in beta testing at this time. We are allowing all current Weebly users to enable it to test it on a mass scale. Those who sign up as new customers will only see the new editor. Once the test is over current old editor users will be prompted to switch over. I do not have a time frame of when this will happen.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your support!

I was updated to Pro when I wrote in to say that I had not made 1 cent in 15 months, despite 200-400 visitors per day. The custom ads necessary to use on Weebly Pro, from Google AdSense, show up in my Edit Mode, but not my Live mode. I have been getting bot answers for 1 month now, and hate the thought of abandoning a successful blog. Does anyone else have this issue? The directions as far as making the Custom ads from AdSense are very simple, and I can't see if I am doing anything wrong. Since I've found Weebly to have numerous glitches, I think the problem is from this side. But I don't know for sure. The "helpful staff" has not been helpful at all, and I don't want to delete the blog. I'm so disappointed and sorry I wasted my time on Weebly.

Keep update your features weebly" and "Amazing update Weebly. Continue to update your feature weebly."
which makes little sense and is not even correct grammar.

Please take on board what is being said constructivly and one day you might be great, but at the moment it is back to the drawing board. You WILL loose many paying clients if you force this on us!

A rearranged site doesn't validate that the money I'm paying for a Pro service is being spent wisely.

See, my demographic are not mobile users for the most part but that is not even the real issue here. The problem is what I call 'cell phone syndrome'. You have to have a new one every six months. Stop fixing what isn't broken.

I just want to make clear that the post I made above is coming directly from the company.

They are obviously committed to this approach (as is evidenced by the new user having NO access to the current interface) and that at some point it will be the same for all.

If you are a business person here at Weebly you need to make a decision at this point. Either you are ok with the new approach and all the future changes they are going to make (while still maybe not fixing things that are broken) or you need to look for a new solution.

My mind was made up when I receiving the e-mail. I will be moving on. The interface was THE primary reason for going with Weebly. It is the fastest and most intuitive piece of online software I have ever used. I built an entire website in 15 minutes. The longest part of the process was waiting for my domain name to become active.

It is a pity that this is how it ends, but understand that it may be tomorrow or it may be six months but the new is here to stay.

I wish everyone here the best and hope that you find a solution that is right for your needs. Now I have websites to build...guess that's my weekend.

They would have to be completely myopic not to scrap this beta and go in another development direction!

So, I think the update is amazing! Love new fonts and the ability to change themes on the mobile site. I think there is more to be done here, but weebly continues to update and upgrade functionality.

I was considering a move to wordpress for a plug-in from Triberr for Re-Blogging (which is still amazing), but this update makes a move to wordpress a ridiculous consideration in my opinion. I will be staying put. I would still love to see Triberr incorporated into the plug-in options. Please look into this!

Thanks!!

Oh, and all you naysayers, if you'd like to see more functionality and be able to everything and anything, go to wordpress... it's not as simple or easy or any of the things weebly is, but you can change everything. Quit your griping.

When a company puts time and money into making a mistake they think will be great, and it tests badly, it is counterintuitive to think they will be LOSING money in the long run by damaging what was best about their company to begin with by going forward with it anyway...it is very hard when they are in the throes of exciting new changes to stop and regroup and say, ok that is not working, let's scrap all this hard work, but that is exactly what they need to do...scrap it and go into a different development area. Just because it cost some time and money to develop does not mean it should always be implemented.

Well said Dawn, you are so right.... But I promise you they will go ahead and have this implemented anyway! Can't stand the fact that everything that is "updated" or comes out.... It's nothing new or ground breaking, just a bunch "RE-Organized" let downs!

Stop trying to make something that is great better, and help build it by implementing features that help make this platform stay a float, because Weebly is falling behind again because they spent so much time and money on this stupid pointless upgrade to the look of the platform that doesn't even run smooth!

I have been using new editor for some time and to my disappointment I can't say it is better than the old one. It looks better but it doesn't mean it is better.
First, now we need to make much more clicks to imply any changes to the design. With old editor all the options were at hand.

Moreover, old icons were easy to understand for people who do not know English or other language Weebly provides. New icons are not so obvious for people who are not familar either with language or with website editing.
If I was to vote for the editor, I would definitely choose the old one.

I am sure lots of people loved Weebly for its simplicity. Do not complicate what is simple.

NOT happy w/ the new design! I thought it worked fine as it was. I have multiple websites w/ Weebly - how do I find them? All I'm getting is one. If you needed to make it easier for people who were having difficulty using the site creator, then you could have at least kept it 'as is' - or put some true upgrades on there - for those of us who were doing well w/ it already. Please re-consider making everyone change to the new format. I went to the Beta and came right back.

The ability to move it to another page like in the old editor.LED lamps (also called LED bars or illuminators, a kind of solid state lighting--SSL), mainly use LEDs as their light source. Our LED light bulbs have the advantage of higher efficiency, smaller size, higher durability and longer life span, and various specializations are available (LED tube light, Global & Candle LED bulb, LED column light, cap light, etc.).

Some things seem to have changed or became missing in the new update:

1. The horizontal separator used to be a line (which I want) and now seems to be only space without the line.
2. In the commerce section there were "Product Detail" and "Product Gallery" and now there is only "Product Detail".

Some features I would like to see:

A. Right-to-Left writing (Hebrew, etc.)
B. Table
C. The possibility to select and then copy/paste a section of a page to another place on the same page or on another page (something like a "jump to")
D. The possibility to link to another place (word) on the same page or another page.

I look forward to more improvements.

One additional thing, no way to change font size in mobile version only.
The result is that if you choose a big font for the top of your page on the computer, it takes more than half of the screen in the mobile version.

Computer and mobile versions should be 2 separate controllable versions.

5/20/2013 10:36:05 pm

I'm really surprised at some of the changes. I see you still have the help screen covering the actual page the client is working on, which means you can't access both at once. Additionally since you've gone 'google' in your icons, the older generation with poor eyesight is left struggling to find the menus for everything. I tried to use the new site creator but the loading time for the HUGE theme examples was outrageous, so I'm reverting back to the old. When this all switches to us being forced to use those, it will be a sad day for my pro account. Very disappointed overall with how Weebly is following the crowd instead of setting their own standards, this is the first time I have been disappointed in Weebly since you started.

The new editor seems to work nicely so far. I'm not sure what new features have been added to the new editor - are they listed somewhere? So far with the new editor, I don't see much difference in my free account, but I'd like to be able to let my clients know what's new with their paying accounts. After switching to the new editor, I did have a temporary problem of not receiving the email form data from the Contact Form. I switched back to old editor and re-published, but still no luck. Then I switched back to the new editor and re-published and the emails came through ok.

Luis

5/23/2013 06:05:03 am

I think the new layout is great but not much improvement from the previous version. I really appreciate if you guys will let us edit the mobile site independently from the regular web, at least for paying customers that should be an option. It is really frustrating trying to make one website that looks good and logical on both platforms. You can make things a lot easier with something so simple like the option to hide elements on the mobile web. Mobile web should not have all the elements of the full site, it looks messy.

All I really want for Christmas (err - my website) is to know who's listening. After all the work you've put into creating this new format, why is it so impossible to add the ability for people to follow my blog with subscriptions that I can actually see, (i.e. Blogger)?

I do have a Pro account, which provides me some clarity regarding traffic, but I honestly don't find it terribly useful. Mostly, it just lets me know that my site gets used (more than I care to know) as a bounce port for other sites in (for instance) Russia. How does that help me? Therefore, I doubt (often) whether or not to even re-up my Pro membership.

All that said, I think I speak for all owners of sites that are part of 'parent' sites such as these when I say it's hard to take MY site elsewhere, without starting completely from scratch. So please don't make me. Just give me a reason to stay. Weebly really is a great and easy site to use for building my website. All I really need is that continued ease, and an easy way to know that I really do have people that subscribe to my blog. Otherwise, I'm just talking to the blogosphere, to hear myself talk to the blogosphere.

Has anyone else found that when they publish a blogpost it just publishes the site's main URL?

What's the point in having a blog if you're just gonna be publishing the main domain URL over and over?

And oauth settings? Who's bright idea was that?

Guys, there are thousands of folks managing multiple social media accounts in a professional capacity.

We could have any one of a dozen facebook or Twitter accounts open at any time.

We do not want to be 'automatically logged in with facebook'.

Seriously, I've paid through the nose (in my opinion) for the domain name through you guys. I'm not even gonna wait until I've got my 12 month's worth.

The changes you've made make Weebly more hassle than it's worth, honestly. Time to cut my losses. I'm gutted.

I loved the old Weebly; this one's just a misguided waste of effort as there's no improved functionality. In fact, I'd suggest that working within the new framework drained my processor more than usual.

Yep, gutted.

Jason,
This is how the Weebly blog function works for me (I just assume this is how it's suppose to work, but let me know if you think otherwise):
To post a blog, I log in to my Weebly account, and go to my Blog page, click Post Blog, typed blog title, drag the Text
box under the title, write the blog text, then click Publish Live.
After publishing, the post is displayed immediately on my
public website. From my public website, I'm then able to click
Reply and add a comment. My Blog page is at: http://clivesoden.weebly.com/blog.html
Thanks, Clive

Thanks for the link to tizag - very useful. It occurred to me that a word macro should be able to convert a table to html code. The following macro does just that - only picks up the text from the table at present, but picking up formatting attributes shouldn't be too difficult, though color could be more of a problem translating Word's color codes into Hex/RGB.
Construct your table in a new Word doc, run the macro and the html code (just for the table element) will be appended to the end of the document. As written the code works for tables of up to 20 rows 20 columns - cells merged across rows/columns will cause an error. Works in Word 2002 and 2010 - I assume it would work in Open Office which also uses VBA.

Sub TableCodeWriter()
Dim arrstrCellsText(1 To 20, 1 To 20) As String 'to read table of up to 20 rows/columns, increase if necessary
Dim x As Integer
Dim y As Integer
Dim tbl As Table
Dim aCell As Cell
Set tbl = ActiveDocument.Tables(1)
For x = 1 To 20 'clear the array
For y = 1 To 20
arrstrCellsText(x, y) = ""
Next y
Next x
With tbl
For x = 1 To tbl.Rows.Count
For y = 1 To tbl.Columns.Count
Set aCell = tbl.Cell(x, y)
aCell.Select
Selection.MoveEnd , -1
Debug.Print x, y, Selection.Text
arrstrCellsText(x, y) = Selection.Text
Next y
Next x
End With
Selection.WholeStory
Selection.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
Selection.InsertAfter vbCrLf & vbCrLf

' write code for table
With Selection
.InsertAfter "<table border = ""1"">" & vbCrLf
For x = 1 To tbl.Rows.Count
.InsertAfter vbTab & "<tr>" & vbCrLf
For y = 1 To tbl.Columns.Count
.InsertAfter vbTab & vbTab & "<td>" & arrstrCellsText(x, y) & "</td>" & vbCrLf
Next y
.InsertAfter vbTab & "</tr>" & vbCrLf
Next x
.InsertAfter "</table>" & vbCrLf
End With

'Paste the code into Notepad

End Sub

Having the tool bar across the top, as it is in the old Weebly allows you to drop and drag to a page which looks like it will when published. Having it down the left side, alters the look of the site as you work, compromising left and right outside areas of the frame which affects the visual aesthetics that come into play in regard to deciding the design or layout of elements on the page. I personally very much like the old Weebly better in this regard.

I also think the way pages under a "category" heading are selected is as Apple people would say, "inelegant". page one and two appear intermittently side by side, and then three, and four drop down but only if you are on the previous number and they jump back and forth depending upon what number you have touched. That is very confusing if you are not certain what page you have just looked at in a series. It leads to wrong choices and the need to go back to try to figure out which was the last page you viewed. There has to be a better way to allow visitors to view a number of pages under a particular header. I'm new at all this and not sure I'm describing the issue clearly. I hope so. I wish I could suggest a cleaner way to change the pages of a particular topic. Can't imagine I'm alone in this frustration... Thanks.

Myra link

5/25/2013 02:11:38 pm

Hummm. I prefer the old editor. The new editor looks sleek and all and I admit I haven't looked thoroughly at each element but it looks like the main difference is taking the elements and placing them running down the side instead of across the top. There are a few new themes but for the most part not enough for the effort. I'm hoping we will have the option to keep the old editor because I'm not too impressed with the new. I have the Pro version.

I agree with others here that positioning the elements vertically down the the side of the editor is a bad idea. It does alter the look of one's site while editing, and just isn't as intuitive; most sites these days are more "horizontal" than "vertical."

The new UX in general is much, much better than it was before, but I would orient the toolbox/toolbar across the top of the viewport or, at least, offer the option to do so.

Could you make an option to view the pages horizontally as well as stacking them like columns and rows. Reason I as is because when you start to have a lot of pages like my sites have it becomes troublesome to scroll a page near the "home" from the bottom. I mean making it easier to place and view pages would be so nice. Other than that nice work Weebly!

Why does WordPress continue to get all the "plug-in" love?
There is now a webinar hosting plugin to use with Google Hangouts. Costs next to nothing. We have nothing like it. WordPress allows me to do all my posting in one day and schedule their delivery for the future. With Weebly, I am still hog-tied to my computer to make things happen.

I agree with the others. Putting on new clothes may help with appearance, but those of us who use the Pro services have asked for functional features--not just a change of attire. I may also be forced to move my income sites to a different platform; but I don't want to. I would prefer to know that true improvements are in the works. I know it takes time, and I am willing to wait--if they are coming.

I do not like the new developer. I can't edit from the pages section like I used to .. seem to get into a position where everything is shaded and I can't get out. Many things don't have a close button on them so I didn't know how to back out. Generally painful.

I see no reason to have changed things...this new interface is less efficient, and the interface is less clear. For two years I've used Weebly, now it's like starting again, but with no added benefit.

I realise that it's free, and I'm grateful, but development man hours could have done some really good new stuff, instead of scrambling up the existing stuff so that experienced users have to relearn the same things for no appreciable reason.

I find nothing new about the "New" interface other than that it changed the placement of the icons and made them extremely drab.
Why do you programmers insist on changing things that aren't broken and not address the broken things that need to be fixed?
I've been after Weebly for months on end to fix the Cut and Paste problem, but to no avail.
I program in both HTML and with the Weebly editor. I can see no reason for your supposed change.
If you and your programmers have that much free time on your hands then I suggest going through your "problem e-mails" and get cracking on repairing the bugs.
As a paying customer I would appreciate that, fixing the bugs, more than just rearranging icons.
Thank you for your time.

Peter link

6/1/2013 03:55:56 pm

Nothing new here. Change some icons, move things around. C'mon guys do something useful. Add just a little extra functionality. What about tables? They've been around for awhile now, they can't be that hard to implement. How about a few more text editing options. What about background colour for text or call out boxes.
Add something we can use.

Marcus TW link

7/27/2013 05:17:38 am

I can understand your frustration, but if you want to make an epic looking table, or text, then it would be smart to learn some HTML and CSS commands, and just using the "HTML" object from the weebly editor. it's much more simplistic than asking for them to take more time to develop even more in the text objects, and it's what weebly would expect most people to use the HTML section for. :)

Also, the HTML commands you'd need to learn are some of the more simplistic in HTML, and the same for the CSS.

Paying subscriber for many years. My thoughts: we need subscriber ability rather than the new look. Possibly the ability to manage our files (delete and categorize) in the editior. The new layout was a wasted time in my opinion.

All the way at the top to Chris M. I highly disagree with you I am a as you say "freebie user" which by the way is completly ignorant for you to say. However I do see eye to eye with you about their updates they need to add real things instead of movings things around and messing with things. Its a waist of their time as well as mine. But im here to say sir that you were out of line and almost every word you said was nothing but ignorence. Thank you

Rob O. took 2 months to say " But im here to say sir that you were out of line and almost every word you said was nothing but ignorence."
Note the spelling, Rob, Everyone is entitled to their opinions, if you are hung up as a freebie user you need to chill out a little, perhaps pay for something you use! Everything Chris said makes sense, you even agreed, remember that this is a beta which means we get to comment on it and Weebly take note, do the corrections and then every one will be happy, even the freeloaders sorry freebie users!

i also agree with chris m. weebly should not have changed interface this is why i deleted my weebly websites as new interface is no lcor which gives headaches and looks messy, They should have left it along and just added more themes and more forms to add to sites. I am a free user but will not use it if forced to eventually change over to new editor i would rather go find other websites that have no bandwidth lmits then deal with weebly who doesn't listen to to testers who i nkow most said neew editor was horrible as takes 3 times as long to create a website now becasue of the buttons being o nthe sides instead of the top and i refuse to be a part of a company that has shown doesn't care about users even free users as if hadn't changed this i would have bought a paid website once i was working after i get my degree, but i am choosing to go elsewhere for my website plenty of other free options with no ads or bandwidth limits

My post was removed because there were a couple of duplicates, so I wanted to repost my thought on the need for a better theme scheme. Many of the themes appear in a number of categories, which shows no concern for users' time and interests. There should be a better variety of themes, too.

Thanks,

To post a blog, I log in to my Weebly account, and go to my Blog page, click Post Blog, typed blog title, drag the Text
box under the title, write the blog text, then click Publish Live.
After publishing, the post is displayed immediately on my
public website. From my public website, I'm then able to click

Sometimes I can't even see (or use) the tools on the left. I have to keep refreshing the screen for it to even somewhat work.
Very disappointed! I use this for my classroom and I have to be able to update it on a daily basis for my students and their parents.

I always go back and end up reverting to the awesome "old" editor, which was way more facilitative and user-friendly. PLEASE STICK WITH THE OLD EDITOR AND SCRAP THIS FAILED BETA, THANK YOU.

Its amazingly disheartening that Weebly has chosen to remain silent in response to the many comments regarding the new editor functionality & usability issues.

Since the release in May, Weebly's response has been more or less "This is it. Take it or leave it. Go pound sand." I am not happy to find out today that I will be forced to use the new editor as of September 9th.

As a service provider, not listening, not responding, not considering the needs, wants, and concerns of your users is a less than intelligent or successful business strategy. Perhaps you could take 5 minutes to squeeze out a blog post that outlines your strategy with this release and answers some of the most common and pressing issues posted on this blog. Can you explain why we can't keep using the old editor? Can you explain why so the new editor is SO LARGE and takes up SO MUCH ROOM on the screen? Can you explain why the site list on the home page is SO LARGE that we have to scroll down for more than 5 sites? Can you explain why there are reported functionality losses between the new and old editor? Can you explain why there isn't a phone number to reach Weebly to discuss any of these issues? Can you explain why you chose to revamp an editor that worked just fine in lieu of enhancements and features that users have been requesting for YEARS?

I've been a Weebly user for many years and I have all my client websites running on Weebly. I don't feel valued as a customer right now. Given the events this summer, I don't feel confident that things at Weebly will get better. I don't feel the love, fellas. Can *you* feel the frustration?

Dave

8/23/2013 05:32:03 am

Weebly is getting many, many complaints about the new editor. and I suppose they are getting one negative comment from each customer. However, I have four accounts and 37 websites, and some of the sites have several editors each. I'm now going to be getting 40-60 complaints asking for help with this new substandard product. OMG, this is going to be AWFUL!

"Yes, there are still more things to be improved or implemented (such as a table element) but Weebly is a really good website-creator service, probably the best." I agree with Chris (near top) and I have recommended Weebly site creator to many. Now I'm not so sure. My first complaint is that the login page takes almost a minute to allow my login to complete, a new feature replacing the previous almost instantaneous login. I'm not fond of the new editor either. Just moving things around on the desktop isn't productive. Y'all had a good thing going... genuinely improve it and don't just mess with pixel swapping! DanK

I use Weebly extensively each week. I have tried and tired to use your new format which I find unattractive, difficult to read, and not an improvement. I am so sorry to say that. I have enjoyed using Weebly and praise it to those who talk to me about it, but but closing the previous version to my use on September 9 before fixing the dancing boxes on the left and trying to find things again is not an improvement. I have read over the very long list of comments, and it seems as if you have not read them. Are you really ready to close down a method that worked so well for this new one that takes up needed space on the left side of the page, is dark and difficult to read, and does not work as well as the previous format. I so greatly agree with those asking you to spend time improving the things we really need and not changing something that already works well. If you are determined to use your new BLACK box format, at least leave the previous format totally available to us. It is not a matter of just wanting to keep the old because I am familialr with it. We moved totally to the new format for six weeks. We agreed to not use the former layout unless absolutely necessary; After six weeks, there was a an 100% desire to go back. It is so interesting to me that you would not listen to those who really were working with it and still did not see the improvement. For me the almost constant wiggle of the page drives me crazy. The only thing that I have really liked in this new format is that I can get more colors. I just wish I could use the colors in more places in more ways.
It does not feel that you are really ready to force us into your black boxes. We are Pro members and like Weebly, but this is not an improvement. Hold off and respond to the comments before you decide to make such a change.

BRAVO!! Very well said. It occurs to me that this blog may very well not be followed by Weebly. Perhaps we need to switch more visible and more notable ways to get their attention such as direct emails to [email protected], or posts on their Facebook and Twitter accounts. Its hard to ignore all of us speaking out at once on forums they might actually be paying attention to.

I'm not really sure what we're supposed to get excited about in the new interface. I've always loved Weebly, have both a professional pro account and a pro account for work. However my initial reaction to having all of the tools on the side is not a happy one. I'm sure I'll adjust, but personally I think they take up way too much screen space with this layout and are a hindrance to designing a page.

To the spammer who continually keeps leaving short, positive messages here in broken English: I know by your idiosyncratically incorrect syntaxt that you are one person. I don't know if you have a personal stake in keeping the new editor for some reason or are just getting your jollies, but what you are doing is creating fraudulent spam that will ultimately affect the future of this company in a negative way if you continue. If the support team is merely counting positive comments as you seem to think by your efforts, they would have to be simpletons not to see that yours all originated from the same user whose main language is clearly not English. There are many responsible, hardworking people here who are frustrated with this new editor and trying to get their voices heard and you are maliciously obscuring that for some strange reason..cut it out!

Please allow us to choose to keep the old system which works perfectly every time and is lightning fast. I am scared to death to have you force me to accept the new builder on September 9th.

The new systems looks complicated and I don't like that is takes up the left side of the page which will be hard to see the page you are working on. Why fix something that wasn't broke and to completely change the whole format????? I notice a lot of computer sites do this, is it because the working crew has to have new projects? It is crazy for those of us who know and use your products. Please give us the option to keep the old system.

It seems that no matter how much positive or negative feedback you get from your users you're going to institute the new editor anyway.
Why not allow us to choose which editor we want to use by giving us an "Editor Choice Button".
You know, the same way you allowed us to try this editor before.
I see this as a great opportunity for you to resolve this issue.

I am about as upset as I can get over your switch to the new web system. I just don't understand why you would make me use an inferior system which takes up so much space, is hard to read, will cause me MANY customer assistance calls and is so despised by the professional site builders. I have four professional accounts and I get similar feedback from other pro users. You MUST give us the option to keep the old system!

Lastly, why in the world do you not TELL US that you are reading the comments?!!? Do you even know what is going on out here?

I would certainly like a response to this request.

Thank you,

I have to agree with the other 98% of paying Weebly users, the new editor is a huge "BUST" and I suspect you will only know this when your paying users abandon weebly.
I took a look and in the first 2 minutes I noticed that the colum down the left side was drab, hard to read and if the page was sized down so I could see my website with out scrolling I needed a magnifying glass to make out the tools.
Further, it was convenient to click a single tab to access the specific tool group, now I have to click and scroll up and down to see or attempt to see the tools.
Personally, if this is where weebly is headed I'm thankful that I have not put money into my website with google to advertise yet and I suspect I will abandon my website with weebly and find another company who listens to its users.
Users have continually asked for tables and I as one of many have asked for a way to know what colors I'm using instead of guessing when I come back to edit 2 or 3 weeks later.
GUYS, Listen up this is a "BIG BUST". Are you and Ebay in cahoots together to screw things up that are working fine for users.
Between ebay and weebly, I'll be put out of business this month.
SHAME ON YOU.... RETHINK THIS MISTAKE BEFORE IT COST YOU YOUR BUSINESS.

Paul,
WELL SAID!
Weebly states "Our mission is to help you create a unique, high-quality site that you're proud to share."
They are going to blow this one BIG time!
I already complained via support@ weebly.com and I also suggest EVERYONE do it as well.
The people with one website just don't realize what they are getting into. If weebly presses on, I will be getting out of weebly.

I have posted my comments objecting the new editor as a step backwards. I then went to [email protected] and emailed my input just in case the staff is not reading the blog comments.

I suggest that any paying pro member who is not in favor of being forced to use of the new editor go to support@weebly and voice your opinion, stating you will move your business elsewhere.

A compromise would be to allow users to choose which editor they prefer to use. Then weebly could see which is preferred over time.

I received a reply from weebly today stating in no uncertain terms that the new web editor is not an optionable feature. It is being pushed upon us regardless of the consequences.
I promptly informed them I will not be renewing my Pro account and will immediately begin seeking a new service provider. I suggest others who are unhappy with the new editor do the same.
If they won't read the negative comments in their own blog or offer an option to choose the current editor then one is only left to cast their vote with their DOLLARS.
Thank you for your service, but I will be moving on to another company for my web service.

I went to chat about the new editor in the Weebly chat area and this is an unedited account of what went on between me and Carley S.

Thanks for stopping by! Can I help you with anything?

Carley S: Hi!

→I'm at a loss as to why Weebly wants to shove it's new editor down everyone's throat. There is a beta button on the accounts page. Why can't you just let us be to choose for ourselves?

Carley S: I'm sorry that you're frustrated.

Carley S: Effective on 9/9 all Weebly users will be using the new editor.

→That' the best answer you have? You know if I wanted to be ruled by tyrants who force you to accept what they want, I'd never get any work done. I'm sorry you can't answer the simple question above.

Carley S: I'm in customer service. I am not a Weebly owner or even a developer. I can only tell you what's happening to the best of my knowledge.

→Then WHO do I email about this?

Carley S: [email protected]?

→Thanks!

So, now we have customer service employees that don't know the first thing about Weebly or the situations at hand. What's next selling out to customer support companies in Manilla?
I'm about through Weebly - I"LL NOT BE DICTATED TOO ON MY DOLLAR! GIVE US A CHOICE!

Hey all...

So...what web-building platforms are people migrating to, post 9/9? I am already using Wordpress and though it seems initially to be fairly user-hostile, its multifaceted and sophisticated user interface puts Weebly to shame. Are there other ones that people like?

No wonder Weebly doesn't provide the capability of creating new thread topics (a question I asked a while back)...they would not want people having an up to date conversation proposing mass-exit!!

On your "My Sites" page over on the right top is a survey asking if we recommend Weebly to others.

You can also recommend we NOT have to go to the new system.
Perhaps if enough people vote it will get someone to pay attention to what's going on out here.

This site will be moving to WordPress.com on September 8, 2013, due to the Weebly management disregard for the interests/opinions of its clientele concerning the enforced use of a dysfunctional web-building format / protocol. The new site will be at artmassagepdx.wordpress.com ...Seeya there!!

There is certainly not much discussion of this...oh well?!

I am in contact with a Weebly support desk person, after sending a short email arguing against the move to the new editor, which I will share below.

I am responding to their "fu** you" answer and I thought I would peruse the entries on this "blog thread", now 4.25 months old, to see how interactive Weebly Support has been. Interesting that there is not a Weebly Support entry more recent than 5/7/13, about 5 days after the thread was started!!

I'll post any future email exchanges.

*****************************

Hi Steve,

I have passed your feedback along.

I am sorry this happened out of the blue, but all Weebly accounts are being migrated to the new version of the editor. Once all Weebly accounts have been converted, our old editor will be removed from our system.

Sylvia

How was my reply? How about "useless" as an option?? (Answering helps us improve. Thanks!)

Just got something asking me to work on my site, bec. it's lonely, but I am considering dropping Weebly because you guys are ignoring a lot of customer feedback about how bad the new user-interface is. I tried it for over a month, had plenty of ridiculous problems and a lot of headaches, so I went back to the old UI.

I have been learning Wordpress and it is a better, more sophisticated platform, though not as user-friendly as the old Weebly. I will have to make do.

Please register this as a complaint.

One more thing I'd like to add, is that any time some people start mastering this topic and so are not seeing any results, they start to quit. And this is not how it should be. Even if you're not getting positive results at first, keep it up for few months till you see good authority blogs like this where you can get enough suggestions that could hadly be come across even in the most expensive information products.

Weebly developers and management professionals are clearly NOT reading these overwhelmingly negative comments here. I sent an email and received a long condescending email back from one of the site's founders implying that I was the ONLY one who had any negative issues with the new editor. He said that "499 out of 500" emails have been positive!!! Now, this is statistically impossible...there has never been any change in the history of the world with that percentage of unrivalled support. Whether or not he is to be taken literally, CLEARLY WE HAVE SOME EMAILS TO SEND, because they are not reading our concerns here.
My understanding now is that they need to keep the new platform to build other forthcoming features...HOWEVER, they do NOT have to keep the horrible HORIZONTAL framework that is so time-consuming and frankly unusable. They could create a hybrid by using the new system in a vertical format. If you are having great difficulty with the new editor and have posted here to no avail, please voice your concerns VIA EMAIL...they do read and repond to emails. Anyone reading these posts can see the decision-makers at Weebly are deeply misguided as to the numbers of users actually having usability issues with the new editing format. I personally believe they can keep the new underpinnings while making things vertical and user-friendly again, which is what we all loved about Weebly from the start. But they have to become aware of this need by contacting them via email, which is apparently the only open avenue they have allowed to be available to listen to our concerns. Be SPECIFIC about the things that are most frustrating with the new editor; because of the time and money they have invested in this new platform designed to support new changes to come, they will only be able to change specifics, not the whole kit and kaboodle.
Btw, Thank You All, for helping me realize and continue to know: I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE!!!!!

They do reply to emails, but all they ever replied to me was that the new editor is working as intended and they were not even acknowledging my comments about the concerns with usability and the fact that I directed them back to this blog post. Ignored entirely. Very disappointed. You can count me among the people who are learning WordPress against my will, since I find the grey scale vertical bars unacceptable to work with.

Hi: I just started using Weebly a couple of weeks ago. Things were going fine until a few days ago. When I logged in he editor had changed from the new version to the old one. I actually thought it might be a newer version so I kept using it with no problems. I realized it had changed to the old version by checking some Youtube videos. Then I attempted to add a text box and when I clicked inside the box to type in text, the whole screen turned blank. Reloading got me back to the editor. Does anyone know how to get back to the new editor and any tips on why I cannot add text?? Thanks

Justin link

9/27/2013 11:13:47 pm

Modular Builder Option?
I do not like the changes made to the site builder either. The large size of the side bar and function icons is unnecessary, and its positioning encroaching. Their original size and positioning were fine: above the website, discreet, reading left to right, not encroaching on my website, and without having off-page scrolling. What was wrong with that?
But, I understand the common trend with popular websites is to change them for the sake of it so as not to be seen as falling behind the times.
So, how about designing a modular site builder: design a function palette that the user can choose functions from (in different sizes) and arrange around the perimeter of their site as they are constructing it; drag/drop and lock into place.
Everybody arranges their workspace to suit their own personal requirements, and so they vary. Giving Weebly users the standard builder OR option to arrange the editing modules as they choose would surely optimise user friendliness. Also it would give you an edge over other more conventional sites.
I've enjoyed using Weebly Pro for a few years...as it was.

Also, is there a way to move the menu icon on the mobile builder? It's very easily overlooked in favour of the more prominent bottom screen button (which serves as access to my other website). I've noticed a big change in hits between my sites which may be because of the ease of overlooking the small unlabelled menu icon.

I am hoping as I've gotten no responses from Weebly thus far on my inquiries and comments that by submitting the following at http://support.weebly.com/support/index.php?pg=request as well as here, it may get a reply. I'm not holding my breath though.

It is extremely difficult to see the different elements and tools as they are the same drab gray colour. To get a tool or element, the website itself moves to the right. Sometimes it then hangs up and you have to scroll right to even get to the area on our sites we want to work on. Choosing another element or tool takes much too long by the shifting left and right.

Editing custom HTML used to be a simple operation. Now it can be a major undertaking because of the unnecessary and redundant "Edit Custom HTML" box taking up 1/4 of the page getting in the way. More time moving it out of the way. Not only that, it switches back and forth on its own from the HTML to how it should appear for the website visitors while actually editing the HTML.

Ideas that often look good on paper fail in application. The new editor is one that has failed dismally. Yes Weebly wants to be at the top as far as simple CMS systems. You have truly shot yourself in the foot on this one. Try reading the comments to your own Blog on this issue. How many paying customers, aka those of us who pay your salaries, 'love' this new change? By the looks of it, not many do.

Companies that listen to their paying customers appeal to me. Companies that can admit to their mistakes and make changes to rectify them appeal to me. The like it or lump it attitude and canned responses from Weebly on this fiasco does not appeal to me in the least.

Should I take it that Weebly's official response is that the new editor is here to stay regardless of how their paying customers are complaining and do not want it? You have the opportunity to do the right thing and create customer good will. Or you can continue to alienate your paying customers and watch them go elsewhere. I truly hope Weebly does the right thing and listens. The ball is in your court.

Gil link

9/29/2013 09:30:25 am

I agree with Peyton. I was forced into using the new editor for the first time today. What's with the "Edit Custom HTML" box always getting in the way? It's useless. It's worse than useless because I constantly have to move it out of the way. Why did the buttons move from the top to the left? And why are they so darned big? I feel like I'm using a Tinker Toy tool now. Big buttons for little fingers. I'd rather use my screen real estate for my editing needs and not have it taken up with grossly oversized controls. <sarcasm>Great job.</sarcasm>

9/29/2013 06:03:41 pm

Yeah, I don't like it that much either, I certainly can live without all that GRAY ugh, HATE IT! And now I am afraid to do anything... It would be nice if the new GRAY features actually worked, as well, like the YouTube feature, and the LINKing features...

And it is nice when a feature actually works, to be able to count on it still being there, i.e. don't fix if not broken... It seems like you just moved stuff around and made it colorless and dull and harder to see and indistinguishable. You get used to something then it's gone; techies love to reinvent stuff but everybody else just wants things to stay the same and be as simple as possible to use and EASY TO SEE.

And I wish you guys would someday finally figure out how to make uploading pictures less tedious, it's ridiculous. Still, it beats my other websites, nevertheless would be nice if I could count on the uploads uploading, instead of having to re-do them every few pix.

And when I am on a page, and it won't stop loading, ALL THE TIME, no clue why, anyway, I have to click the reload button all the time, but instead of reloading back onto my same page where I am working, I get put back onto my original splash page every time, and have to go back looking for the spot I was working, a zillion times a day... urgh.

And now the PAGES page doesn't even scroll down, what is THAT all about anyway? I hope you fix that soon...

Nevertheless I have to thank you for your much creativity with the space, I absolutely hate all my other websites, but your's, even though it is very tedious, it really finally looks rather spectacular. And I love the new linking device, on the top, that's kool! I am finally working out the You Tube device too, I think I can finally figure it out so I can get used to it IF YOU DON'T KEEP CHANGING IT I hope...

Thanks guys, but try to get back some color and contrast into your tediously gray features, if you would be so kind? You need a real blue eyed artist to help you contrast subtle colors, perhaps? And please make them smaller, they are so big, it's ridiculous...

And I can't turn off that other new feature that pops up when my pix are uploading, it's all gray, big. and ugly, intrusive.

And, if you techies really want to do something fancy, maybe you could figure out a feature to help us differentiate, on the activity-site-stats features, the difference between the site creator's activity, and the visitors, can't ever tell if I had visitors. Looks like it's just me, so far...??? who can tell?

Thanks for everything, my site looks fabulous, perseverance helps!

The "update" which had no improvements was a bust and now they take it out on us because they paid so much money for this, they just can't turn back...

The new editor is large, drab gray, and in no way an improvement over the old editor. We don't like it. They don't care. Its here to stay. All the whining in the world won't change that. Take a deep breath and spend 20 minutes with it and you'll get used to it just like you did with the old editor. I think there's a lot of yelling over Who Moved My Cheese?! Weebly is still better than many of the alternatives. Change sucks. Reality bites. Poop happens. You'll live.

Actually we don't have to get used to it. There are other options including another prominent one that also begins with a W. I'm really disgusted with the new interface. It's ugly, cumbersome, doesn't act functionality and seems unstable. I cannot imagine why they do this except that there must be too many people over at Weebly with too much time and money on their hands. Completely unnecessary redesign. And the more we bitch about it, the more likely it is to change. Just being quiet doesn't help at all.

I love using weebly as a site builder. What I especially love is the ability to customize pretty much anything. I wanted to share with the community how to add sharing options to their web pages or blog posts to help gain exposure and traffic. For now you guys only give the options to facebook and twitter so I shared how to add more options easily.

Hopefully you guys will provide more options in that department soon. I know you guys are constantly active in adding features so I'm only excited for what the future of weebly holds.

I have to say, I really love the new editor - it make things a lot easier now, and it seems to load faster, too. Although, is anyone else having issues with the 'tabs' button? Mine seems to have stopped working with the new site builder...

Ugh...if it ain't broke, don't fix it I say. Now we have to learn how to navigate all over again.

Not a fan of major changes like this.

really disappointed in the new updated style, in the old way we could upload word documents and photos so easily, and efficiently, our members need to be able to download and print event programs, now with the new version SCRIBE this is not possible, i can download but not able to open or print, i requested assistance from Weebly which they gave me but unfortunatly the way they instructed me to do it does not help - i was very impressed with Weebly untill this - if anyone can assist me that would be appreciated - i do not have the link button to link from SCRIBD to my website - sorry Weebly not impressed - very frustrated

Your user interface is too one color. Please color the icons for easier usage for our customers. Long time user.

I can get past the page to edit it wont go any farther since new one started

10/11/2013 12:01:45 am

I have always loved weebly since I started using it, but now it is a joke!! I can't edit anything since the new editor. I figured out how to use it quick enough but it is SO SLOW!!! and can't get pictures or video up without continuous 'ooops' somethings wrong messages. I am on the verge of giving up and moving on to a new site builder...Anybody else had this problem???

Dave

OK, Weebly, if you won't answer any of our concerns how about fixing the most pressing problem? Just take the icons in the new theme and replace them with the old icons in 1/2 the space used with those awful grey ones. I doubt this would even involve any recoding, just changing the icons.
PLEASE!

Oh why oh why oh why did you make these unnecessary and horrible changes to your interface!!!????????? The "upgrades" are hideous and much more difficult to use, and totally unnecessary as they add NO functionality. WHAT IS THE POINT? I designed a website completely by myself and have got many compliments on it, and NOW I am having a lot of trouble using the new format as it's much more confusing and unstable. It just sucks. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back the old format and at least give us an option. See which interface the users actually prefer! There is absolutely NO POINT to the new "interface". Is someone being paid megabucks for thinking up projects that don't need to be done?

I have recommended Weebly in the past repeatedly even to Web designers who have used it, but to be honest, I can't recommend this interface.

I might have to consider moving to another web design product, alas. What a waste.

Victoria is my name, I am 39 years of age , from Henderson, NV, I have not done this before, but i think is will be of great benefit for me to come online and make my friends out there know about my encounter with a spell caster whom i met on net. I have had bad experiences over the years and this has made me bitter and skeptical about finding solution to my problem. Until my Aunt introduced me to a man who help her in the past and she was successful. I also did contact this man and to my greatest surprise i was so shocked for the wonderful works experience from him, He is so true to his word and what he says is what he does. I really appreciate you Lord Zilialia for you help. Thank you so much and i sincerely can't thank you enough. you have indeed done what other spell casters i have contacted cannot do for me either they cause me pain and agony. Friends please make no mistake anymore here is a man who has been tried, tested and trusted and he never failed for once. contact Lord Zilialia on [email protected] today and put an end to your pain. don't get deceived and scammed Lord Zilialia is true and genuine. I will forever be grateful to him till eternity. Lord Zilialia you are simply the best. Contact him [email protected].

WHAT is it going to take for Weebly to set this blog to approve post comments? These utter BS, adds, for insurance, completely non-appropriate posts have got to stop. Please, assign one of your minions to reviewing comments and block this drivel.

I would really like to have the option to use the old interface. It might be more visually appealing to some people, but it's not as intuitive and quick to access what's needed for power users.

Additionally, my whole site is not viewable while editing unless I make my page take up the majority of my display, which I really don't like doing since I'm quite often working on/monitoring more than one thing at a time. Having the elements and tools at the top of the page was a much better solution in my opinion.

Granted, I'm not a paid user at this time and have yet to take my organization/website/project live, but I hope this feedback is still taken into account.

Additionally, the new interface seems to lag in Google Chrome. Works fine on Firefox, but scrolling through my site and typing are painfully slow through Chrome which is my primary browser. So for anyone experiencing slowness, a temporary solution would be to use Weebly through Firefox if you haven't tried that already.

I should clear this up - in the first line what I meant is the new interface might be more visually appealing, but the old interface made it faster to access needed tools.

At first it took some getting used to and seemed to be a little less efficient despite looking a lot more slick... however now I don't notice any difference and never really takes me long to find what I am looking for.

I use Weebly extensively each week. I have tried and tired to use your new format which I find unattractive, difficult to read, and not an improvement.
I can't stand the changes you've made. I cannot scroll to the right or left and cannot see my entire page when I'm editing now that the "tools" are on the left side of the screen.

I think the new editor is very easy to use though sometimes on the dragging it can be slow to respond . Much appreciated.
