Company Introduces iPad App For Building And Managing Websites

Website creation startup Weebly has quietly grown to power a large number of publisher and e-commerce sites over the years, and now it’s rolling out a whole new way for users to build experiences on its platform.

With the launch of a new iPad app, the company is launching what could be the easiest website creation tool out there.

Weebly now has more than 25 million sites created with it, and hosts an increasingly diverse group of companies using its tools. Today, those sites receive about 200 million unique visitors each month, and about a third of visitors are accessing them on mobile devices.

The platform is built to make all sites responsive and shrink or expand to fit any screen on any device, but until today the company didn’t have great site creation tools for mobile.

Weebly has had mobile apps for a while, the iPad experience is a full-fledged website creation tool. Users can literally build sites from scratch within the app, spinning them up from nothing and publishing them without ever having to log in to Weebly’s web interface.

Built from the ground up for iOS 8, the app is designed with a drag-and-drop interface for adding images, text, videos, maps, or whatever else you might want to add onto a site.

The Weebly app also includes the same ability to restructure and resize all the different elements that are included. It’s a truly “what you see is what you get” creation tool.
