Why Teams Leave Weebly

Simple website builder now owned by Square. Small businesses needing the simplest possible web presence, but these limitations push teams toward modern alternatives.

Being sunset in favor of Square Online — limited future

This is the most common reason teams migrate away from Weebly. Qwik eliminates this issue entirely.

Very limited customization options beyond templates

With Qwik, resumability eliminates hydration — near-instant interactivity.

Poor SEO capabilities compared to other builders

Modern architectures like Qwik are designed to avoid this from the ground up.

No content export or migration tools available

After migrating, you'll no longer need to worry about this — Qwik takes a fundamentally different approach.

What Qwik Brings to the Table

Resumable framework with instant page loads. Built with JavaScript/TypeScript, it's performance-obsessed teams building sites where time to interactive is critical.

Resumability eliminates hydration — near-instant interactivity

Constant O(1) startup time regardless of app complexity

Lazy-loads only the JavaScript that's needed per interaction

JSX syntax familiar to React developers

Qwik is open-source and free to use. You own your code and data with no vendor lock-in. Deploy to any host that supports JavaScript/TypeScript, or use managed platforms like Vercel and Netlify for zero-config deployments.

Is Weebly to Qwik the Right Move for You?

Migrating from Weebly to Qwik makes the most sense if you're experiencing being sunset in favor of square online — limited future or outgrowing Weebly's architecture. Qwik is best for performance-obsessed teams building sites where time to interactive is critical.

You should migrate if: your Weebly site is slow, your hosting costs are climbing, you need more control over your code, or you want to adopt a modern JAMstack architecture.

You might want to stay if: your Weebly site benefits from extremely simple to use — anyone can build a basic site and you don't have JavaScript/TypeScript developers on your team. Weebly is genuinely easy to use, and that simplicity has value.

The migration itself is straightforward with LeaveWP — enter your Weebly URL, select Qwik, and download your content. The more important question is whether Qwik's architecture fits your team's skills and your project's long-term needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to migrate from Weebly to Qwik?
Most migrations from Weebly complete in 10-20 minutes. Content is exported from Weebly, then structured for Qwik. Complex sites with extensive custom fields may take longer.
Will I lose my SEO rankings when migrating from Weebly?
No. We help you set up proper 301 redirects from your old Weebly URLs to preserve search rankings. Qwik actually tends to improve Core Web Vitals scores, which can boost rankings over time.
What Weebly content can be migrated to Qwik?
Weebly content types like pages, blog posts, products are all migrated to Qwik. Content is converted to Markdown/MDX files or structured for your chosen headless CMS.
Do I need JavaScript/TypeScript experience to migrate?
No coding experience is required for the migration itself — LeaveWP handles the export and conversion automatically. However, customizing your Qwik site afterward will benefit from JavaScript/TypeScript knowledge. For teams without that expertise, the generated code is well-structured and documented, making it approachable for developers of any level.
How much does it cost to host a Qwik site after migrating from Weebly?
Qwik sites can be deployed to Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, or any Node.js host — often on generous free tiers. Compared to Weebly's Free / $10-26/month pricing, static Qwik sites can be hosted for free on Vercel or Netlify (up to generous bandwidth limits), which is significantly cheaper than running a Weebly instance.
Can I migrate Weebly custom fields and metadata to Qwik?
Yes. Custom fields, metadata, and taxonomies from Weebly are preserved during migration. In Qwik, these become frontmatter fields in your Markdown/MDX files, which you can extend or restructure to fit your content model.
