Why Weebly users are choosing Articulation as their new home.
Weebly was acquired by Square in 2018, and Square has largely moved on. No new features in years. Mobile app discontinued. Users being nudged toward Square Online. Your Weebly site still works, but you're on a platform nobody is improving.
Articulation was built by former Weebly software developers with Weebly users in mind — automated migration tools, a familiar drag-and-drop editor, and a team that's actively developing the platform. Start your Weebly migration here.

Square stopped investing in Weebly. No new features. No roadmap. Articulation is actively developed — new components, integrations, and improvements ship regularly. Your website platform should be growing, not stagnating.
Weebly support has been absorbed into Square's infrastructure. Your questions compete with millions of Square payment terminal issues. Articulation has a small, dedicated team that responds personally and knows the product inside out.
Articulation's Weebly conversion tool imports your pages, blog posts, products, and categories automatically across 50+ supported Weebly themes. You don't start over — your content moves to a modern platform in minutes.
To get product reviews and password protection on Weebly, you need the top-tier plan. To remove Square branding or get site stats, you need Professional. Articulation includes all of these features in a single plan — no feature gating, no surprises.
Weebly relies on its App Center for features like advanced forms, product reviews, and marketing tools — often at extra monthly cost. Articulation has 65+ components and a full commerce suite built in, with new features added regularly at no extra charge.
Articulation automatically converts uploaded images to WebP format and generates optimized resized versions. Your site loads faster without any extra effort. Weebly's image pipeline hasn't been updated in years.
Weebly has many different pricing plans depending on when you signed up. While early Weebly users received grandfathered pricing, most didn't. Square has been consistently raising prices without adding features. Today Weebly offers Free, Personal ($13/mo), Professional ($16/mo), and Performance ($29/mo) — with features like password protection locked behind Professional and product reviews locked to Performance.
Articulation offers one plan with every feature. No tiers to compare, no features to unlock — just one price for everything, actively maintained and improving.
You're already on Weebly and genuinely have no issues.
You're a Weebly user who deserves a platform that's actively maintained, with responsive support, automated migration tools, and features that Weebly never delivered.
