Criticism

iWeb lacks the ability to edit direct HTML code, though it is possible to use HTML snippets, which allow tiny bits of HTML code to be added to an iWeb page, such as an embedded YouTube video. It is also rather difficult to manage more than one website on iWeb, and relatively easy to lose a website once made with iWeb. HTML, an initialism of HyperText Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for web pages. ... YouTube is a popular video sharing website where users can upload, view and share video clips. ...

Because it uses so much code to achieve its effects it is rather slow for visitors to download a site unless they have a very fast connection. Switching from one page to another is also slow.
