Weebly is one of the simplest and easy to use website builder tools available in the market. You can build and publish your site online within few minutes without having any technical skills. Though there are some restrictions for blogging and backup, here are some reasons why to choose Weebly for building your content site.

The first point of attraction is the visual design of Weebly’s drag and drop editor interface. You do not need to spend much time on installing or finding plugins like a WordPress site. Though with the limitations you will see clearly what you can do it with Weebly and try it instantly. Elements are grouped in the editor which can be dragged and dropped into the site’s content area to start building your site.
2. Multimedia Content
Flash content can be added just by adding an element and any audio and video codes can be embedded using custom HTML element called as embed element. Images can be directly dropped in the content area without using image element and Weebly will automatically ask to consider it as gallery or slideshow if multiple images are dropped.

The annoying part of most of the free site builders is the ads they display. Ads will distract the users and you do not have any choice to get rid of it unless go for an upgrade. Weebly is promising that they will never place ads including free sites. Though Weebly shows a footer ad, it is not intrusive and it will slide out only when you hover the button.
