Top 3 Free Weebly Themes
Weebly offers very limited number themes – precisely 23 responsive themes are available at this point of writing this article. There are also non-responsive themes which are not recommended to be used by Weebly. During the Carbon upgrade Weebly discontinued all non-responsive themes showing the direction of only supporting responsive themes on their platform. But it was not easy as many of the existing users got affected and Weebly need to bring back all those non-responsive themes.
Factors to Consider Before Choosing Weebly Theme
Below are some of the important points to be considered before choosing a Weebly theme:
- Weebly does not support any third party themes; hence if you are expecting support from Weebly then avoid using third party themes.
- Due to the complexity in development and continued support, there are very less third party companies offer Weebly themes. There are also instances of companies dropping of the theme business leaving the customers in trouble.
- Be aware that most of the third party themes are merely converted themes from the WordPress version. This means the themes were originally developed for WordPress and the same is converted to use on Weebly platform.
- Weebly does not offer premium themes, whatever themes available are free to use for all users.
- Weebly encourages using responsive themes to ensure the mobile friendliness of the site.
Considering all the above facts it is highly recommended to use one of the free responsive Weebly themes instead of spending time and money on choosing third party themes.
