Weebly for a salon website? Read this first.
The simple, low-cost builder now owned by Square. Here’s the honest, side-by-side look at what that means for a salon that actually wants to get found and booked.
Weebly is about as simple as a builder gets, and it's cheap. For a tidy one-page site you can put together yourself, it works.
It's barely evolved since Square bought it. The templates feel dated, nothing about it is built for a salon, and the SEO and marketing are entirely yours. It's a brochure builder, not a booking engine that ranks.
SalonWins vs Weebly, line by line.
| SalonWins | Weebly | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Salons only, every field assumes a salon | Any simple site: basic, generic templates |
| Per-stylist & per-service booking | Built in, routes to the right chair | Square Appointments add-on, not stylist-aware |
| LocalBusiness + HairSalon schema | On every page, by default | Basic; no HairSalon or per-stylist structure |
| Reviews & testimonials | Google reviews auto-tagged to the right stylist + service pages (the Review schema Google loves), and add your own in a click | A static testimonials widget, untagged |
| Speed (Core Web Vitals) | 90+ out of the box | Lightweight but dated; generic performance |
| Who does the SEO | Our team, on the $970 plan | You, with Weebly's basic SEO settings |

The parts the Weebly sales page skips.
Basic, and showing its age
Weebly has barely changed since Square acquired it. The templates feel dated, and nothing about it is built for a salon.
No salon structure, anywhere
No per-stylist pages with their own booking, no HairSalon schema, no salon-shaped back office. Just a generic small-site builder.
You're the whole marketing department
Weebly gives you a page. The SEO, the content, the local rank, the reviews: all of it is on you, on top of the salon.
A brochure, not a booking engine
It can make a tidy little site. It can't make one engineered to rank in the local pack and route clients to the right stylist.
Weebly is a simple, dated builder for a simple site. A salon needs structured data, per-stylist booking, and someone running the SEO. None of which is what Weebly was built to do.
