    ... and what a fine example of the halfwit useless bull Weebly produces, with tables for layout, tables for nothing, incomplete/inaccessible forms, nothing remotely resembling semantic markup, endless pointless scripting for nothing, jQuery asshattery for nothing, inaccessible/useless fixed width design, inaccessible absurdly undersized fixed metric fonts, hordes of whitespace for **** knows what other than hiding the fact there is little if any actual content of value on the page, static CSS inlined in the markup, tags and attributes that have zero business on any site written after 1997, mulitple doctypes because someone has no clue how the system actually works or what valid/proper HTML is, hordes of STYLE attributes begging the question what do you even have multiple stylesheets FOR...

    Hence the 20k of markup to deliver a two input form and less than 1k of plaintext, easily three times as much markup as should be present...

    Poster child for everything wrong with dumbass halfwit idiotic bull like Weebly, since it's a bloated inaccessible useless mess that I'd be shocked if it gets legitimate traffic. Of course that the site's topic has all the legitimacy of a 3AM make money in Real Estate commercial makes it a perfect pairing for an online scam like Weebly.

    Dont say Weebly, say "HIM". Tell you one, try to search for best Weebly sites on Google and post that message on their site. Lets see.

    There are many free/paid website builders. You need little coding skill to build one using them. Just Google.

    Tell you what, find me one that isn't inaccessible useless garbage! Their "Featured Sites" sure as shine-ola fit pretty much everything I said... Every last one of them is halfwit idiotic trash, and proof that weebly is nothing more than nube predation; people are dumber for it even EXISTING.

    HONESTLY, find me one that isn't tables for layout, actually has SEMANTIC markup, separation of presentation from content, doesn't piss all over the page with endless pointless scripting for nothing, static presentational style, inaccessible fixed width layouts, inaccessible px metric fonts or goofy illegible webfonts, and on the whole doesn't scream the worst of "I can haz intarnets" sleazeball shortcuts and preying on the ignorance of those who don't know any better.

    Sleazeball halfwit scams like Weebly should be ashamed of themselves and I pity anyone DUMB ENOUGH to fall for it. Actually, no I don't... I don't suffer fools... Period, full stop.

    Admittedly I say the same thing about jQuery, Blueprint, Dreamweaver, Bootstrap, LESS, SASS, CodeIgnitor, Turdpress... Sleazy shortcuts at best, idiotic halfwit bullshit at worst.

    As has been said, the code is terrible. All those extra scripts and nonsense @deathshadow mentioned keep a Weebly site from being usable on any other platform. If you ever need to change hosting, you have to start over - not necessarily a bad thing considering how bloated their code is, just more time and money out the window.

    Weebly might work for a small hobby site but a serious business shouldn't go anywhere near it.

    If you are just making a really basic website that you don't need to do much customization on then weebly is fine, otherwise use wordpress.

    Which is probably why the marketing scam artists and their squeeze page BS have it on their short list.
