Description: Weebly is a website builder platform that allows users to design and customise their websites through a drag-and-drop interface without needing to write code. To access and edit a website, users need an account and a password. Weebly offers a limited free version. It was developed by David Rusenko, Chris Fanini, and Dan Veltri in 2006 and acquired by Square Inc. in 2018.
