About the MailChimp Website Builder
MailChimp is one of the better free self-hosted do-it-yourself drag-and-drop web-based website builders out there. It provides a way to easily and visually build a beautiful and powerful website (based on a pre-selected theme) for your business without needing to know how to code or hire an expensive website design expert. Simply click on the section to edit and “add a block” (object - like an image) onto the page. Then, change the layout of the page to suite your needs and desires in terms of design. Additional pros and cons are as follows:
Pros
The pros of using MailChimp to build your website is the ability to visually design a website via a drag and drop website builder – no coding required. What can be built is beautiful, and mobile friendly - indicative of what is expected of websites today. There are also numerous types of pre-made layouts, objects and apps that can be added to make your website powerful and one of a kind.
The largest pro is the fact that your site is part of the top email marketing platforms - if this is what you also need.
Cons
The cons of using MailChimp is at the end of the day – it is still a self-hosted web-based website builder. That is to say you are still relying on it to be a host that is fast and secure with awesome customer service. In addition, it is yet another program that does have a learning curve to maximize its effectiveness. After all, you have better things to do – like run your business.
The largest limitation of using a do-it-yourself web-based website builder is the learning curve. Each tool has its own quirks and capabilities to master to maximize its potential. Weebly is no different. Instead of using your valuable time trapped behind a computer learning new software, why not use your time more effectively running your business and hire someone who could build you a better website at an affordable rate.
Another downside to using any self-hosted web-based website builder is that if for any reason you become dissatisfied with the host due to performance of it as a host or staff customer service, and you want to leave, you cannot take your website with you. It must be rebuilt from scratch with your new host of choice. If you are sure Weebly is for you (I have no reason to think otherwise – yet), then read on...
