Most people in the world are n00bs.
That answer means you must have misunderstood what I said. Anyway, I was mostly looking for an explanation of what is so great about Weebly because I didn't get it. Surely we must be able to critisize here right?
It's good for noobs.

I agree, it's not easy to find. I had to log into my account, and was then offered the choice to upgrade. FYI, its 3.99 a month.
So weebly also uses a deceptive pricing scheme ... exactly how are 3.99 different than 4? Does anybody have hard data on market consequences of pricing to round numbers? And why should one price near $4? If it was in Europe, it would be 4 euro instead? Why 3.99 and not 3.56, since credit card payments don't care anyway? In any case, congrats to weebly whose profitability enables this discussion.

Sure, most people on HN can create pretty slick sites that just are not possible with Weebly. But then again, most of society isn't on HN.

Thanks, so using napkin calculation... (1,000,000 users) x ("well over 1% conversion", we'll call it 4% to be generous) = 40,000 customers x $4 = $160,000 in revenue. They have 6 people in the team, so allowing modest salary of $50,000 each = $300,000. So, they must make the bulk of thier money by Adwords (11,000,000 uniques will generate $$$) as I assume the others services offered are not generating much cash yet.…

There are a handful of companies in YC (aside from my own) that I would love to personally invest in (if I were in the position to invest). Weebly is definitely near the top of the list, and was from the first moment I saw it during Winter '07. They're totally pragmatic, and just get things done...not one information astronaut in the bunch. And they work in that space where nobody wants to be: technology for newbies.…

But, Facebook is having to try pretty hard to outspend their incoming cash. They've hired very aggressively and made decisions that are more befitting a much larger/older company. I don't know enough to say if it'll all come crashing down...but it'd be possible to make Facebook make money tomorrow, if they laid off some of those hires and got as smart as Google about infrastructure.
