Lately, one of my friends knew that I have a website that I made through Weebly. He asked for my link for him to check my site. After an hour, he asked me if I would want to migrate the contents of my weebly site to wordpress. I asked him why and all he said was "wordpress is a lot better than weebly". Because I respect him when it comes to computers, I decided to migrate into wordpress, I have no idea how to operate wordpress but I hope this friend of mine will help me. This will take time so it might affect my myLotting. 
I'm not really good in this but do you think my friend is right?

I have actually used both sites for different clients. And so far, I like Wordpress better. Besides, Wordpress is more known than Weebly. Just have the patience to learn things around the site. You'll get the hang of it no time.

I didn't have problems with Wordpress. No worries about the loading time.

Weebly is a website builder while wordpress is a blog. People say wordpress is the best blogging tool but I tried and didn't like it at all, they say it's more secure but when you go on blogger (blogspot) you can actually easily customize the way you want to that's why I prefer it, specially if you are not pro on templates and webdesign.

Thank you for visiting here. I really appreciate it. You are saying that blogger is better than either of the two? Okay, I might as well consider it. I also have a blogger but I rarely update it. Maybe it's time to discover how it really works.

Without a doubt. Weebly - like many other drag-and-drop online platforms - is limited by what the designers make available. WordPress isn't.
That said, Weebly (and others) are a lot simpler to do clever stuff with, assuming they have the tools. WordPress takes a bit more effort but is 100% flexible, right down to editing the core php.

Okay. Thank you for the response. One of my main problems in weebly is that it is very slow in loading which annoys me.

Of course Wordpress is much better than weebly. I've ever tried weebly, it seems weebly as number of web features not as much as wordpress has. Another benefit of making site using wordpress is there are a lot of programmers who are creating meaningful plugins, good looking themes and other wordpress features. While weebly seems has not a lot people in creating plugins and themes. I suggest you to use Wordpress.

Thank you for suggesting, and even defending it. I'm still trying ti figure out how to really use Wordpress properly. I find it a little bit tricky, maybe I'm used to Weebly. I also considered using Blogger or Blogspot. Right now I'm so busy with school stuff so I rarely sit with my computer.
If I have time I'm gonna explore Wordpress.
