Moving website from Weebly to Square?

[ValiJoy]

Hi, my website is currently still with Weebly, but I need a new host. I am not very savvy with these things.. I use Square as my POS so thinking it would be easiest to have them be my website host as well? I do not do any retail, my business is appointment services only and people can pay online when booking, so a host that would work well with that model. I'm having trouble finding how much Square charges to host a website. Any advice you have is appreciated - should I switch to Square as my host, or is seems like Wix could be another good option? I need something that is relatively user friendly/beginner friendly! I also currently have MailChimp and wondering if I should keep that if I switch to Square or Wix? I use Acuity scheduling for reference. Thank you!

Hi there, @ValiJoy,

First, I wanted to say that I noticed that this is your first post on the Square Community so I wanted to say WELCOME! We are happy to have you here! Because you already use Square for POS, going with Square Online can offer you a number of advantages, especially for a service‑based business like yours (appointment booking + online payments). Below are some reasons why I think it’s worth strongly considering, along with things to watch out for.

One major point would is that there would be a seamless integration with your existing Square tools.

• Your would be able to set up your services with Square Appointments and create a booking site. You can build a booking page directly in your Square site. Your clients can pick services, staff, times, and pay, all in one flow.

• That means less stitching together different platforms, fewer integrations to manage, and fewer moving parts to break.

Another big point about our platform, is that we are incredibly beginner friendly and always happy to help with questions.

• Square provides templates and an editor so you don’t need to hand code. You can literally generate a site and then tweak it to your look/feel. 

If you'd like more specifics on features we offer here, please feel free to ask!

Hi, I already have a website built that has been running with Weebly for some years now. I don't want to change the website. From my understanding, I should easily be able to transfer the Weebly website to Square online. How much does square charge to host? Again, I don't need to build a website. I also use Acuity for scheduling and don't want to change that either. Thank you!
