Guess I'll start!
I'm Billy or... (Just_Billy) haha.
I've built more than a few sites using Weebly and would be more than happy to share all I have learned to anyone I can help.
My main site is a independent film review site and I'm constantly playing with new ideas.
With Weebly, I've always found there really is no limit to what you can build. Starting off with their builder is a great easy way to kick off and experiment. But that's just the start. Want more? Maybe try your hand at editing the code a little. Something that so far, Weebly has kept while others have let slip away. A great option! Just... don't be like me... experiment with inactive pages. Ha ha.

Welcome, Billy! So good to have you here.
Care to share the link to your site? I'd love to check it out!
Also, when it comes to editing the code yourself, where did you get started?

Her Erin.
Slowly learning to edit the code basically simply came from a need to do things, that I couldn't get with a template.
A lot of it stemmed from the older version of Weebly. A lot of what I was looking for then, can actually be done in the Weebly editor now. Ha ha.
With my main site, I simply went for a simple clean look. I'm not going to lie... I've changed the style of the site a few times over the years.
Mainly, it had to do with the paralax banner at the top... which I use to post Advertisments sometimes. Ha ha.
And, originally... most of it was for things you don't really see... such as being able to see my site the same on any mobile device... instead of using the Weebly mobile templates.
By all means, feel free to have a look. I've been working on some new, modern sites... but this is the oldest, and although "not" the most modern... I think it looks pretty for a review site. Ha ha.

I really like your site! I love movies myself, and you've come up with a really clean and organized way to display a lot of information. Great work!
I don't see an ads banner up at the moment, but let me know when one is up. I'd love to see how (if it all) it changes the dynamic of your site.
Again, great to have you here!
Enjoy your day, Billy!

Olá! Desculpe pela tradução. Normalmente, você colocaria o vídeo usando o elemento do YouTube ou o elemento de vídeo HD em um site profissional. Inserir o URL no elemento do YouTube deve ser suficiente para colocar o vídeo em questão.

Well, looks like I'll be the second person to introduce myself. My name is Tony and I run a website design and hosting business called Working Websites based in Queensland Australia. At the time of writing this post I have 30 client sites running on the Weebly designer platform.
Over the last two and a half years I have gotten to know a lot about the Weebly platform, what it does well (and not so well). I chose the Weebly CMS for my business for the following key reasons:
1. At the time, it was the only CMS with a platform for designers that also supported a portal for their clients.
2. It offered quick, easy to use Drag n Drop editing as well as access to CSS and HTML for customisation.
3. Reasonable hosting fees
On average, I build a one or two new websites per week and generally have four or five in development at a time. I build websites for small to medium businesses so the purpose and functionality can vary greatly from one project to another. So far, the Weebly platform has served me well, but I would like to see more in-built template designs and improved features for embedding multimedia into websites, especially background video which has largely been left to an ever diminishing number of external developers whose code is not officially supported by Weebly.
Here's hoping that this new Weebly Community will become a valuable asset for both Weebly and its patrons.

Hey Tony. You've been with Weebly for a lot of the same reasons I chose it. Mainly, the editing of the code aspect.
Awesome! Wouldn't mind having a look at some of your work.
I don't consider myself a web designer, because my knowlege is limited to what I wanted to do at the time... but I love checking out fresh sites and seeing just what is cool now-days. Ha ha.

Hello to you Billy.
Feel free to have a look at some of the sites I have active on my designer platform. I have been using weebly for a number of years so these a mixture of older themes (pre responsive design era) as well as the latest weebly themes plus a few non weebly themes.
I have also been able to modify the CSS and HTML code in combination with a number of embedded scripts and widgets to enhance appearanc and functionality.(like tabbed content or 3rd party widgets like timely) which all go together to provide a customised result for the client. I prefer to modify existing weebly templates rather than build or use external ones because they may not be supported when weebly makes changes to the editor site code. It's quite amazing the degree of customisation you can do using the weebly themes as a starting point.
My own website is workingwebsites.net.au
Here are some of my client websites:

Tony,
I really like some of your client sites! Those are all done with weebly???? I really need to figure out how to do this.
When I clicked on your link to your site, though, it wouldn't connect.
I need to learn more about what you are doing for the holistic health sites.
Nice job,
Debbie

Hey, Tony!
I took at look at some of your client sites. WOW - looks like you're keeping busy.
Eventually, we hope to have a sub-community specifically for designers, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on what you would need there. I know you have already added a few ideas in our Vote on Features section - thank you - but if you have opinions/suggestions on creating a space tailored for designers, please let me know!
Thank you so much for joining our Beta!

Hey, Lynde!
First of all, your art is beautiful. It's so neat to see someone using Weebly as a platform for expressing themselves (and their art). How did you show off your talents before you came to Weebly?
I also checked out your business site. I know that you said it's being hosted on Weebly for the time being. Is there something specific that could be the catalyst to move this page to another site building service?
Thanks for joining us, Lynde. We're so happy to have you!

The catalyst is size. We are having problems due to the volume of information we need to put up. We have twice the information you see and glitches are occuring (random menu scrammbling, footer coming and going).
I understand Weebly is for small sites and we never dreamed the volume of information that we would find and be given when we started would accumulate so fast. The number of people (new and returning) has grown a lot faster than we thought it would in the short time it had been under developement. We set up at Weebly because it is a no profit listing service and we were self funded. A data base structure is needed to help compact the storage and make updating and advanced custom search possible.
My personal site will stay at Weebly as well as one of my new partner's art site that I will be building. She is a photographer.

Hey, my name is John and I own a what you could say start up business. I am 15 years old turning 16 soon. I have always had a passion for creating sites. I know some html and CSS but I prefer to use the tools on weebly.com I own many business/website that are all based around the Luxx Brand. One of my websites is a Gaming website were we host a bunch of free games for students like my self can play while at school. Some of my other websites are not hosted by weebly for example my portfolio and the reason for that is becasue I don't believe that weebly is really made for portfolios. if you want you can check out my websites.
Thanks,
John

Hey, John!
Welcome, and thanks for introducing yourself. It's so exciting to see that Weebly is being used by folks of all ages. I only wish there were similar tools around when I was in high school!
I checked out your websites, and I really like them. Nice work!
You said that you don't believe Weebly is appropriate for portfolios. Would you mind going into that a bit more? I'm curious as to what portfolios require that isn't provided by Weebly. We're always looking for ways to improve!
Thanks, and enjoy your day!
