Anyone here using Weebly? Is it good? My domain/plan sub is about to expire. Using Squarespace but itā€™s $360 a year to host the site, take payments, and no ads. I canā€™t afford it given the amount of orders I get on the site. I want to keep my own store tho cause Etsy bans my Star Trek fanart.

I need something that: * includes custom domain * contains no ads * lets me take a least PayPal & square * and this is a big one: connects seamlessly with Printful Iā€™ve done my own research and Weebly seems like the best choice at $16/mo for a pro plan but wanted to get yā€™allā€™s temperature on that

ā€¦oh and let me correct myself. PARAMOUNT nerfs my listings on Etsy, not Etsy. Etsy doesnā€™t really have the staff to actually curate its sellers so thereā€™s all kinds of mass manufacturing on it anyway. #smallbusiness

These companies go after independent websites as well, so don't assume a website will always be safe for you. btw, "fan art" only exists up until the point you try to sell it, then it is infringement. (and I say this as a Star Trek fan who wishes they did more merch!)

Oh yeah 100% having an independent site only slows, will never stop, companies from legally defending their IP. I know, right?! The dollars weā€™d shell out for well-researched merch šŸ˜…

Itā€™s crazy how fast they do it too. Like my Moopsy figure was listed for maybe 24hrs before they C&Dā€™d it.
