OK, so I realise that this might have been covered before, but I really do feel the need to shout!   I have successfully run my photography website via Weebly since 2012, however in recent months I have noticed that my images are not sharp once uploaded....... IRRESPECTIVE OF HOW MUCH I RESIZE THEM!.   As a photographer, I am judged by my images and when a potential new client checks out my portfolio they will be expecting to see pin sharp images. Whatever ridiculous algorythms you are building in to the upload process is simply destroying the quality I have achieved via years of experience and many thousands of pounds of professional equipment, I may as well take the photos with a potato!   In my numerous attempts to resolve this issue by resizing the image to various sizes, none of worked and they are still out of focus. I have even purchased JPEGmini which does an awesome job of reducing the size of the photos prior to uploading. As an example, I am able to resize a 30+ meg image to under 1 meg, partially by reducing pixels and partially by utilising JPEGmini, yet still your systems butcher the image.   I pay for the pro membership therefore I expect pro service, if you cannot sort this issue then I will have no choice but to use a competitor. Given this issue I would be surprised if many of your photography clients will be sticking around for very long if you dont get it fixed.   Please can you resolve this as I love all the other aspects of my website, but the images HAVE TO BE sharp! ...

I love the way that I can just scroll indefinitely on some shopping sites and see all items at once to allow for quick shopping. Could Weebly please think about implementing something similar for our buyers to quickly see all of our products.    Example: Upon entering the general store front view, allow customers to toggle a drop down to choose their view 1. view all 2. 100 items 3. 50 items 4. 25 items  5. infinite scroll   Pages are a thing of the past, and other ways for customers to view many of our items at once would be very helpful to generate sales. For shops that have alot of products, it is cumbersome for customers to dig deep to see products on page 2, 3, etc. and those products end up never being seen.  A way to help shoppers see more items at a time would be great and help more of our products get circulation with traffic.     ...

Hi all,   I don’t want to get promotional emails from Weebly, as I find them annoying. But if I unsubscribe from them, this apparently means I won’t get email notifications when people comment on my blog posts.   These are two completely unrelated things. It seems silly that we have to choose between getting both and getting neither. Does anyone else agree that there should be two separate subscription settings, so that we can subscribe to one of these things but not to the other?   I'd be interested to hear any thoughts. ...

Now that Chrome has been updated to basically shame websites that are not secured, it would be good to have the option to purchase and enable HTTPS/SSL for any paid site since this is a best practice for SEO. I saw in another community post that there are no plans at this time to make this option available for anything below the Business package but I hope that is reconsidered if there is enough user support. Weebly is a great platform and keeps getting better, but it would be unfortunate to have to accept that using Weebly means that you will not be able to adhere to certain SEO best practices.   For reference, here is the post from the Google Webmaster Central Blog back in 2014: HTTPS as a ranking signal ...

I'm a new (potential) Weebly user based in the UK. On 25th May 2018 GDPR  (General Data Protection Rules) will come into effect across the EU. One of the provisions of the GDPR is that cookies will now be treated as personally identifiable data. It is my understanding that legally we must also offer people an easy way to opt out of cookies.  It is anticipated that directing people to control this via their browser will not be enough (See eg https://www.itgovernance.eu/blog/en/how-the-gdpr-affects-cookie-policies/)    "Implied consent is no longer sufficient. Consent must be given through a clear affirmative action, such as clicking an opt-in box or choosing settings or preferences on a settings menu. Simply visiting a site doesn’t count as consent. ‘By using this site, you accept cookies’ messages are also not sufficientfor the same reasons. If there is no genuine and free choice, then there is no valid consent. You must make it possible to both accept or reject cookies. This means: It must be as easy to withdraw consent as it is to give it. If organisations want to tell people to block cookies if they don’t give their consent, they must make them accept cookies first. Sites will need to provide an opt-out option. Even after getting valid consent, sites must give people the option to change their mind. If you ask for consent through opt-in boxes in a settings menu, users must always be able to return to that menu to adjust their preferences."   I'm trying to write my cookie policy now and have come across several categories   1. Weebly site cookies (I guess manage session, language variables, mobile boolean etc) - I can't see a way to opt out of these other than by opting out via the browser. This might be ok as they could be 'strictly necessary' for site operation?   2. Weebly analytics cookies - you seem to use 2 sites - QuantServe and SnowPlow? I cannot find a way to opt out of either site, and there are no links on your privacy policy.  I wonder if this might breach the GDPR rules (See Googles analytics opt out for instance)?   3. Advertising cookies via QuantCast - this is fine. I can link easily to their opt out   Is it possible to get your privacy policy updated to reflect the use of SnowPlow and also to add links to both SnowPlow and QuantServe opt outs if they have them?  Would also be interesting to know if these companies and cookies use has been considered in light of GDPR?   I'm not an expert in GDPR, so would be good to get some specific reassurances Thank you in advance ...

Starting 2/1/2018 there is a new law in effect and we need these sites to be ADA Accessible under the guidelines of  Section 504 of the  Rehabilitation Act.  We need to be able to add alt text to our pictures, we need to be able to have an accessibility checker for everything we add to our site to make sure that we are compliant with these regulations.  Where these regulations are not new, they are going to be enforced and we need this changed.  Everyone who has a website could be in trouble if your site is not compliant to these new laws.  Many many schools are making these BIG changes, we must too!  All of our sites could have problems, could be shut down, could be fined.  IF weebly won't help us out I know I will have to move my two sites to some place that will work with me.  Please look into adding the accessibility tools to your site(s) all types so we can continue to work with our websites through you.  This is one of the easiest and workable sites I have found, I want to stay, I don't want to start all over. ...

This was suggested before, but was archived due to low activity... the community is a lot more active these days though and i think this needs bumping...   When you copy a website, the blog does not copy with it.   Also i think if you could migrate your blog to another page it would really help out.   We have had hundreds of clients in the past which want to rebuild their website (some of which use custom themes but a huge amount just using standard weebly themes)   The issue is, if you're doing a full revamp of the site, most people want to publish it to a free weebly domain along the way to see how the site looks before publishing it...  the issue comes if they want to keep their blog data (as it's racked up loads of SEO Juice over the years).   When you copy a site, you should be given the option to copy the blog OR if you've got two sites under the same account or on the designer platform, you should be able to migrate the blog from one site to another in the weebly control panel...   Please vote for this, it would save endless hours of recreating blog posts when you want to start a new site to replace the old... ...

As suggested by: https://community.weebly.com/t5/SEO/Enable-gzip-compression/m-p/23682#M998 I am posting this here in the Vote on Features  section. I ran my website through Google's little test (https://testmysite.thinkwithgoogle.com/) and found that my website is rated very slow (45/100 mobile and 54/100 desktop). After looking into the suggestions I discovered that most of them are beyond my control - such as Enable GZIP Compression and Leverage Browser Caching, which was already suggested here: https://community.weebly.com/t5/Vote-on-Features/Ability-to-quot-leverage-browser-caching-quot-Test-My-Website/idi-p/19900 I'd like to see these suggestions implemented into Weebly. I feel like if I am paying for Weebly to host my site I should expect it to be quick and perform well in these tests, thats why I'm paying you and not hosting it myself right? ... View more

I have beewn using weebly for years now, and it is a very easy to use tool. However, as the years go by, technology moves on, and high resolution screens are a thing of the present. Will there be any retina - resolution support soon? I think in 2017 this should be a standard feature... Not to mention that logos look awful now on retina screens currently. Thanks. Looking forward to it ... View more

Modify the Weebly-designed Tab and Accordion apps to allow reordering of the tabs. These apps may not come with Weebly, but they were created by the Weebly company and should have this essential feature.   (P.S., I'm aware they've published the code for these apps and I could do this on my own. I'm simply trying to improve the Weebly product for the broader world...) ... View more

Many of my clients have their domain names registered with a third party like Go Daddy. Every once in a while, the DNS records get messed up, and it would be great if there was a way I could look up the appropriate IP address within their account on my Designer Platform, without having to contact Customer Service.  Thanks!

After a year of using the Promote feature, I have learned that many customers simply reply to the email and type "Unsubscribe", rather than using the link at the footer of the email.   But I can not manually add an email in my Promote Contact List to the Unsubscribe list.   This should be an easy fix!   My only solution right now is to either tell the customer to go back and use the unsubscribe link. If I delete the customer and they purchase again, they are added back to the mailing list. ... View more

Whenever i upload a high-resolution PNG file to the website logo section, it processes the file and comes out blurry on the live site. This happens on all weebly sites. I called into support and they asked me to put this suggestion in because this is not something weebly put much time into. When i upload an image file it should show at full resolution. Even if its larger than it should be. If the system has to downsize the image, it shouldn't be blurry. ... View more

Anyone registering on a Weebly website to be a member can enter a bogus email account.  Standard security practice these days is to email the requester a code as part of the registration verification process that they enter on the website to confirm that they are using their valid email address.  This should be a priority change by Weebly. ...

Im still dumbfounded that given the how large social network platforms are and how many are out there, that we still don't have the ability to create our own orders. As a business owner and someone who uses every channel to grow my business, its would save so much time to be able to simple create my own custom order for people who purchase via facebook, instagram, twitter, and various other places. Some people would rather buy directly from the person via paypal vs going into a website to enter information, and its makes my life easy to keep all orders in 1 place vs having a order log and a weebly order log.    I have a large network of customers whom purchase directly from me, and I keep a log of all orders; however, the paper log is getting old. It would be nice to track all orders directly from my website as its part of my business.    It would be great to simply open the app, create a custom order and save it.    It would also be great to edit shipping details and tracking as I have had times where I entered the wrong tracking to the wrong order and was not able to edit that information.  ...

I am really liking the new text in red that Weebly is letting us add to our listings "out of stock", "on sale" , "only a few left"a.k.a the "low stock badge".    Unfortunately, "Only a few left" doesn't make sense when you create one of a kind pieces and there is only ONE available. Can Weeble please add one more badge that can be enabled for listings that will say "Only One Available". That would be a HUGE help for me.    Right now all of my one of kind pieces say "Only a few left" on the listing which doesn't make sense and implies to my customers I am lying about them being one of a kind. After you open the listing and scroll down the text is then shown in red "only 1 left". So, the two statements don't match. Please allow "Only one left" to be shown on the thumbnail view as well. I think it would really help some of my items sell if my customers understood that I am not willing or able to duplicate some of my highly complex one of a kind items, so if they want it, they should buy it before its gone.    In addition to this wording not making sense for ONE of a kind, I would like Weebly to recognize that there is also a bug with this function. Here is what happens when someone enters a listing:   The thumbnail view of a one of a kind item:                             ---------------------------------------------------   The text that is on the listing after entering into the listing:                     "only a few left".....false   AND THEN........   AFTER a customer enters in REQUIRED info into the text field for the necklace length this happens:                               What the What???!!!    Please add a "one of a kind" that will always reflect "only 1 left" badge to the medley of badges we can enable for listings, so I can mitigate this conundrum that Weebly is creating.   Thanks.   ...

There are multiple bugs on the orders page that make managing orders a huge pain in the a** for all those who pay weebly for ecommerce service.  1. The search bar DOES NOT WORK. When I attempt to search for a particular item to see how many I need to make of something, it only comes up with partial results. Example: I search for spiders and it omits multiple orders that contain items that include "Spider" in the title.  When I search for customer, it does not work reliably.   In addition to the search bar not working, why are we not shown what a customer has bought in the order queue. LITERALLY EVERY OTHER ECOMMERCE SITE DOES THIS. It is important to know WHAT people bought, not just their name, date, and price of the item. For the love of god add another cell to the spread sheet that contains a script to recall a thumbnail and/or an abbreviated title from the listing that was actually purchased.    The order page is supposed to work to help shop owners conquer tasks. Please illuminate how this information below helps at a glance when you have 50 orders to make by your own two hands.    428591834 12/12/201712:24 AM jane doe pending $246.10   428591835 12/11/201712:24 AM jane doe pending $50.10   428591836 12/11/201712:24 AM jane doe pending $20.10   428591837 12/10/201712:24 AM jane doe pending $67.10   428591838 12/09/201712:24 AM jane doe pending $88.10 428591839 12/07/201712:24 AM jane doe pending $14.10 428591840 12/06/201712:24 AM jane doe pending $246.10   SEE WHATS MISSING?????? yea, its WHAT each person bought!  The item is not shown!!! >:{     This is currently how order pages look on weebly. Its ok if you make and sell like one item a week.

I like to feature different pages as the front page, depending on the season, whatever I currently have on exhibit or based on recent press etc etc.   It would be great if we had a toggle on EVERY page, including the category pages to make any page also the home page. This would automatically duplicate the page, hide the duplicate from navigation and set the duplicate as the index.html or home.html, whatever you guys are doing these days. This would be HUGE help. This is currently IMPOSSIBLE for category (shop) pages. Please make this possible.      ... View more
