Before & after
Same mobile viewport — the live Weebly site on the left, the in-progress rebuild on the right. Same brand, completely different first impression.
Ethically sourced coffee from Chiapas — the client’s legacy Weebly site needed a full rethink: clearer story, modern typography, and a shop experience that feels as intentional as the product.
Same mobile viewport — the live Weebly site on the left, the in-progress rebuild on the right. Same brand, completely different first impression.
Wildland was on Weebly — annual fees for a template, limited control, and a shop experience that didn’t match the brand. The rebuild is about owning the site: no more renewing Weebly just to stay online, plus a faster, Stripe-ready storefront when they’re ready to launch.
Before
Weebly subscription · generic e-commerce blocks · weak story hierarchy
After
Custom build · video hero · owned hosting · modern checkout path
Client impact
Redirect platform spend into a site asset — one-time build vs. yearly Weebly forever.
Roughly what you keep paying just to stay on someone else’s platform — public list prices (2025–2026). Wildland was on Weebly (highlighted).
| Platform | Typical plan (approx.) | ~3 years of subscriptions |
|---|---|---|
| Weebly · this client | ~$10–$26/mo | ~$360–$940+ |
| Wix | ~$17–$36/mo | ~$610–$1,300+ |
| Squarespace | ~$16–$27/mo | ~$575–$975+ |
| Webador | ~$6–$28/mo | ~$215–$1,000+ |
| WordPress.com | ~$9–$25/mo | ~$325–$900+ |
Figures are ballpark only — annual billing, ecommerce tiers, and add-ons can push totals higher. This is what the platform keeps billing while you rent their editor, year after year.
You pay me once for the website build. You own the code after that — not another year of Weebly just to stay online. Ongoing cost is usually just your domain (~$20/year) and low-cost hosting.
If Weebly, Squarespace, or Wix goes down, changes terms, or you lose account access, you’re at their mercy. With a custom site, you own the files and your content — forever, outside their editor.
Weebly-only designers are a niche hire. Web developers who code are easy to find. I hand you real HTML, CSS, and JS — any dev can maintain it, not a drag-and-drop prison.
