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?

Sounds like Viaweb, a generation later. Congratulations, guys.

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!

A WYSIWYG for restaurants is also a nice target (built in menus, pricing, etc.). Perhaps with a built-in reservation system.

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.

Startups making easy to use stuff that actually solves someone's problem? Hm.<p><i>Interesting</i>.
