My new and improved website!

I had been quite disappointed at first when I found out that I could no longer use Squarespace to create my website. I had been using them for about 4 years or so and thought that it was a pretty good service. When they were not able to take alternative payment arrangements and it was credit card only--I began looking for alternatives. There were a number of possible candidates. All comparable in price - except for one. Weebly. It was totally free. i found that oddly a little disconcerting at first.  I thought there must be a catch. There must be something that is missing. Perhaps I won't be able to use my domain name. Perhaps something along the way that I really need - I'll have to upgrade for--but every review I read, raved about it being one of the very best, if not the best on the market. Regardless of price. So I decided to test it out. Even if I did need to upgrade to a paid version - even they were cheaper than all the rest. I had nothing to lose. 

The templates weren't as exciting as I had hoped they would be - however, with a little tweak to the html/css I was able to reduce the header size and space between the navigation to something that worked for my taste. After that everything else was so easily customizable in blocks that I am really quite impressed. Clever use of the columns and you have a very personalized site. It actually gives me MUCH more than Squarespace ever did, and I pay nothing! I can transfer my existing domain name to it - FOR FREE!  I can create beautiful slideshows, online stores (though I am not even using their system for that in mine), and frankly it is much more flexible and easier to design than anything I have ever used. So, there is one catch. There is a small 'Create a free site with Weebly" in the footer.  That's it. I certainly don't mind promoting them for free for all that they give me for free. I want to shout from the rooftops how great it is. I have realized I have been paying $90/year for nothing. Wish I had come here sooner!
