Nippy vs Weebly

Weebly is winding down. Your site doesn’t have to.

Weebly’s situation deserves plain words: Square stopped accepting new signups, withdrew the mobile app at the end of 2025, and ships no new features — existing sites still work, and no official shutdown date has been announced, but nobody would call it actively developed (as of June 2026).

Owners face two honest paths. If the site leans on Weebly’s blog or online store, rebuild on an actively developed builder — Squarespace, Wix, or Square Online if you already sell with Square — because those parts don’t export.

But if it is what most Weebly sites are — a brochure site, a portfolio, a few pages of text and pictures — the design you already made can simply move: Weebly’s Export downloads a Site ZIP of your static pages, images and HTML, and Nippy hosts that folder exactly as it was built, at an address like yours.nippy.site or your own domain on paid plans, with text and HTML editable right in the browser for future tweaks. No rebuilding, no new editor to learn, no expiry. The fork: dynamic features → rebuild on a live builder; the site you already have → take the ZIP and host it.

Custom domain	Paid plans — one CNAME record, HTTPS automatic	Supported on existing paid plans

Which one?

An honest fork in the road.

Choose Nippy when…

You want to keep the site you already designed — export the ZIP and it’s hosted as-is
The site is a brochure, portfolio or info page that just needs to stay online
You’d rather tweak text in a browser than learn a new site builder
You want galleries and file-download pages alongside the site

Choose Weebly when…

Your site still works and you’re not ready to move anything yet
You depend on Weebly’s blog or store — plan a rebuild on an active builder instead

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is Weebly shutting down?

There is no official shutdown date. What is factual (as of June 2026): Square stopped new signups, the mobile app was withdrawn at the end of 2025, and no new features ship. Existing sites still work — but planning a calm exit beats a rushed one later.

How do I move my Weebly site to Nippy?

In Weebly: Settings → General → Export / Import Site → Download Site ZIP. Unzip it, drag the folder onto Nippy, pick an address, and the site is live — same pages, same design.

What does the Weebly export include?

Your static pages, images and HTML — the visible site. Blog posts and store data are excluded, and dynamic features like contact forms won’t function as static files; swap forms for a mailto link or a form-service embed.

Can I keep my domain?

Yes — the domain stays wherever it’s registered. On a paid Nippy plan, add one CNAME record and HTTPS is issued automatically.

What if I’d rather rebuild from scratch?

Then a builder is the right call — Squarespace or Wix for general sites, Square Online if you sell through Square. Hosting your export on Nippy can still bridge the gap so the old site stays up while you rebuild.
