Weebly, a global service that allows everyone to create a high-quality website they are proud to share, has signed a 25,000-square-foot office lease in Scottsdale. The office space will serve as the company’s North American customer operations headquarters to support its growing customer base. Weebly’s expansion to Scottsdale will have a significant impact on the city’s economy. The total economic impact over the course of the five-year lease term is estimated to be $256 million, according to an economic impact analysis provided by the City of Scottsdale. The company plans to bring more than 250 new positions to the city over the next three years, and will support more than two million customers from its Scottsdale office location.
“We’re extremely excited to open our new customer operations headquarters in Scottsdale. There is an amazing pool of quality talent in the area,” said David Rusenko, co-founder of Weebly. “With support from the city and the Arizona Commerce Authority, we’re looking forward to building a world-class team to support the success of our customers globally.”
The 25,000-square-foot space, located in the Galleria Corporate Centre at 4301 N. Scottsdale Road in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, will allow Weebly to hire local talent to lead customer sales and support operations. Roles will include customer sales and support specialists, team leaders, trainers, quality assurance and additional roles to be added in the future. Each new employee will become part of the company’s larger mission to help anyone start and easily build a business, website, blog or online store.
“The expansion of Weebly to Scottsdale was a collective effort by the city and our regional economic development partners to continue building Scottsdale’s software and technology sector,” said Scottsdale Mayor W.J. “Jim” Lane. “I am very pleased to welcome Weebly to Arizona and to Scottsdale.”
