Weblium

What it is

Weblium is a website builder for landing pages, multi-page sites, blogs and online stores. Its own description is "A Simple and Intelligible Website Builder", and it says the platform helps any user create an online store, a landing page or a multi-page website in just a few hours. The reader it fits is a founder, freelancer or small business that wants a finished site from templates and blocks rather than from code, plus agencies and web studios that want to resell sites under their own name. The site itself runs in English, Ukrainian, Russian, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.

The product has three layers. There is the builder itself, with templates, blocks and mobile editing. There is an online store module with a cart, checkout and a separate customer and deal tracker. And there is a service side: Weblium Studio will build a site for you, and a white label program lets an agency sell the platform as its own.

What you build and how

You start from a template. The company's about page promises "Hundreds of ready-made templates and blocks, automatic mobile versions, and third-party code embedment", and the template galleries on its site are grouped by what you are making. The store gallery shows examples such as a Music Devices Store, a Pet Store, a Jewelry Store, a Sport Clothes Store, a Furniture store and a Cosmetics Shop, each with a live preview and a start button. The blog gallery lists a Travel Blogger, a Youtube blogger and a Video Blogging Courses template. The site also points to idea pages for music sites, small business sites, store sites and DJ sites.

The editor works with ready-made blocks. The home page describes it as an interface where you "create a website without writing code" by crafting your own design "using our pre-made solutions and building blocks". Every site is adjusted to variable screen sizes automatically, and there are separate mobile and tablet editors if you want to tune how a page looks on those devices. The company's own example is a prototype tool that gets a site draft in less than 15 minutes, which can then be exported to Weblium for editing. Inside the editor, the home page describes AI Writing as an "integration of the ChatGPT into the Weblium editor to help you create high-quality content," and the pricing page lists an "Evo AI assistant" on every plan, including Free.

Online stores are the second half of the product. The about page lists an option to add up to 10000 goods, variable items, online payments collection, and checkout and cart pages. Alongside it sits a CRM, described as "Fully functioning customer and deal accounting in one place with a personal account, separate for each online store". So a shop owner tracks orders, customers and deals inside the same product rather than in a second tool. The store page adds payment choice, "Paypal, Stripe, Square, and many others," plus product filtering and promo codes, and the home page says you can control product prices and stock availability in the store settings.

Marketing tools are built in as well. The about page names pop-up windows that run on triggers, forms, trigger actions, and work with analytics systems. For search, it lists tags, breadcrumbs, schema.org markup, 301 redirects and unique 404 page setups. The blog page adds that you can improve search visibility by adding meta descriptions and keywords. If you want your own code on a page, the product advertises third-party code embedment.

Publishing is simple. Every website made on Weblium comes with a free subdomain, and the home page says you can build and host a site for free, with content stored on servers around the world so pages load quickly wherever visitors are. To use your own domain you move to the Starter or Business plan. The company argues a custom domain looks more professional, is easier to remember, and lets you create a custom email address.

If you would rather not build it yourself, the home page answers "Can someone build my website for me?" with "Weblium Studio can". The about page calls the studio a professional team that studies the business's needs and creates turnkey sites on the Weblium platform. The pricing page also lists a Content and Branding service, described as getting compelling copy, defining a visual identity and strengthening the brand for a new or existing website.

For agencies there is a white label offer. The pricing page describes it as a way to "Offer website solutions under your brand. No need to develop your own platform", designed for agencies, web studios, SaaS companies and freelancers with regular workload. Clients see only the reseller's branding, partners get special rates on new projects, and the page presents it as an end-to-end package with a ready-made builder and hosting.

The examples gallery shows how the company picks its showcase. It accepts submissions of sites built on Weblium, reviews them, and adds selected ones to a catalog. Its stated review points include consistent sizes and aspect ratios for items in one block, similar font sizes for identical elements, and the quality of images and icons. That is a useful checklist for anyone designing a Weblium site, since it tells you what the company itself considers good work on the platform.

What the pages say about plans and support

The pricing page names a Free plan and 2 paid plans, Starter and Business. Free is "for simple websites and landing pages" and includes the editor, 300+ ready-made templates, mobile optimization, free icons and photos, the Evo AI assistant, up to 3 pages per site, 100 MB storage and 100 MB bandwidth, with "No credit card required." Starter, "for business websites and lead generation," adds advanced SEO settings, lead capture tools, advanced design capabilities, integrations and custom code, up to 10 pages per site, 3 GB media storage, 5 GB bandwidth and no Weblium branding. Business, "for online sales and large-scale projects," adds the online store, the blog, a multilingual website with up to 5 languages, up to 500 pages per site, 10 GB media storage and 20 GB bandwidth. Both paid plans come with a "14-day free trial. No credit card required." The FAQ sums up the split: Starter if you collect leads with forms, quizzes, calculators and integrations; Business to sell products, accept payments, run a blog or build a multilingual site.

Billed monthly, Starter is 16 USD and Business is 25 USD. Billed yearly, Starter is 132 USD a year (11 USD a month) and Business is 210 USD a year (17,5 USD a month). The page notes that paying once a year saves up to 30%, and that monthly billing adds up to 192 USD and 300 USD a year respectively.

Some terms matter for planning:

• Each subscription covers one website. You can manage several sites in one account, but each needs its own subscription.
• For 5 or more sites, the company recommends website bundles, which it says save 25 to 40 percent.
• A free domain for the first year comes with any annual subscription, and the extensions available depend on the plan.
• You can subscribe for up to one year, after which the plan renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renewal.
• Prices are in USD, payable with Visa, Mastercard or PayPal.
• If a renewal payment fails, paid features stay active for 5 days while the company retries, and then the site drops to the Free plan.
• You can upgrade at any time, for example from Starter to Business or from monthly to yearly billing, and pricing is adjusted for your unused time.
• The white label offer starts at 48 USD a month, and Weblium Studio quotes turnkey websites "starting at 300 USD", alongside a website audit and a website transfer service.

Support is described on the about page as online support available 24/7 all year round, with video lessons and an extensive knowledge base. Reviews on the store and blog pages say the same thing from the user side. One says support responded at any time of the day and even on weekends and public holidays. Another, from a user whose team had built landing pages and simple sites on it for over a year, praises its "excellent templates and easy adaptability" and says "You can adjust and make custom just about any design element you want." These are testimonials the company chose to display, so read them as marketing.

On credibility, the about page says its partners include "the largest state and private banks, IT companies, processing services, and top agencies," and shows logos including PayPal, Stripe, Hotjar, SendPulse, Aweber and HelpCrunch.

Who it suits and who it does not

A freelancer or small business that needs a landing page, a small multi-page site or a blog will find the template and block approach quick, and the Free plan and 14-day trial let you build before paying. A shop with a catalog that runs into the thousands has room to grow, since the store module allows up to 10000 products, and the built-in CRM keeps customers and deals next to the orders.

Agencies and web studios are the audience the pricing page speaks to most directly. The white label program starts at 48 USD a month and is built for people who sell sites to clients on a regular basis.

The main caveat is the per-site pricing. Each site needs its own subscription, so a person running many small sites pays for each one unless they move to a bundle. The Free plan stops at 3 pages, and the store, blog and multilingual site all sit on Business, so a shop goes straight to the higher tier. And a block and template builder is a fit for standard sites and stores, not for custom application logic or workflow automation.
