The Weebly guys are destined for greatness. How can you not succeed with 600,000 (and growing at a mind-blowing pace) registered users making websites through your system? The opportunities for upgrading them to premium products (even super cheap ones), getting a cut of products sold (if they go the route of enabling product sales), getting a cut of ads, and selling related services, are just overwhelming.

I find it really interesting to note how much less popular all of the others in the space are. It goes to show how much execution matters (Weebly is the best of the lot, and Synthasite is a reasonable second place, and their growth indicates that). Timing also matters...Weebly was launched a few months before the others, as far as I know.
