Surprising that they would choose not to take a cut of sales, as it seems like a natural opportunity to earn some revenue. Then again it might make people more willing to get started and then find themselves needing the Pro features further down the line.
I consider myself to be a highly competent web developer/designer hybrid. But is it getting to the point where even for experienced developers, it makes sense to use something like Weebly? Especially for projects that don't require much customization?
I was struck with the idea of doing a dead-simple e-commerce app a few months ago. I can think of so many ways that a powerful and simple WYSIWYG can be turned into a revenue generator. Congrats on implementing something great!
yeah this sounds like something that could totally take over the current model of Weebly; not in the sense of a new business model (they are still charging for domain / DNS services) - but I think this could bolster that model up so nicely - they may have to focus on this more, thus becoming their core offering.
