Settings
When you log in to Weebly, you will see Tabs across the top and a menu on your left.
Add elements by dragging them to the page. When the line appears, you can release the element and it will appear on the page. To delete an element, hover over it and a red X will appear. Click on the X to delete the element.
Under Elements tab, you will see a menu containing Basic, Multimedia & More.
Basic Menu Text Add text by dragging text elements to a page. The primary text elements are Title, Paragraph, Paragraph w/ Title (a paragraph element with a Title area at the top) and Paragraph with Picture (a paragraph element that includes the option to upload an image alongside the text). Once you add text to an element, you can edit it using the text toolbar.
Use the undo / redo buttons to undo and redo changes made in the element. Pictures Drag the Picture element to the page. Click the big square “Click Here to Edit”. This opens a dialog box where you select how you want to upload your image. You can: upload an image from your computer, search the library of images or enter the address of an image from the internet.
Columns The Multiple Columns element enables you to add up to five columns to a page or section of a page.
Start by dragging the Multiple Columns element to a page. Adjust the number of columns needed. Both the number of columns and spacing between each can be altered at any time. You can add as many elements as you like to each column. Buttons The button element enables you to create links to other pages on your own site, pages on other sites, or files like PDFs and documents. You can edit the text of a button so that it says whatever you like.
Multimedia Menu Photo Gallery
The gallery element enables you to upload photos in bulk, which are arranged in a click-to-see-a-larger-version grid format that you can control. You can use the gallery toolbar to make changes to the gallery.
Slideshow Our slideshow element enables you to show off your photos with style. Learn how to three minutes by following along with the short video below or by reading the instructions that follow. You can now use the slideshow toolbar to make changes.
File: Drag the File element to your page. Click to upload a file. Add the file name. Select the position.

Favorites Menu A theme can be selected at any time and selecting a new theme does not delete or alter the content of your site. It will revert to the template main image. To change your theme, go to the Design tab. If you scroll over a theme you'll see how your own site will look if you select that theme. If you scroll off of the theme, you'll see the original theme again. To select a theme, click on it.
Design Options: After you select a theme, use the Design Options menu to set the default fonts for that theme. You can alter the fonts for your Site Title, Paragraph Titles, Paragraph Text and Links. You can add or remove social media icons.
All Themes If you go to the All Themes section of the Design tab, you'll see all the themes. These can be viewed as one big group or by looking through different categories.
Your site can have as many pages and sub-pages as needed. Create a new page by going to the Pages tab and clicking the Add Page button.
Four different page layouts can be applied to each individual page of your site. Select the layout you like and then click Edit Page to see how the page looks with that layout. This can always be changed later.
Subpages can be made by selecting the page you want to turn into a sub-page. Drag this page underneath the page you want to make it a subpage of and also drag it a bit over to the right until it clicks in place.
General Settings Change site address.
Sometimes when teachers are setting up their sites, instead of a domain name that they choose, Weebly assigns a name similar to this: 904558623409963640.weebly.com They can change this by going to the Settings tab and selecting Change Site Address
They can type the address they want in the box.
Click Save.
Mobile Settings Select box to enable displaying of the mobile-optimized version of your site.
Archive/Un-publish Archive your site to keep a backup or unpublish your site. When you are done creating your site, you can Publish it. The first time you publish, you will type an address for your site. Every time you make changes, publish your site. The url for your site will appear. Share that with your media specialist so it can be linked to the school website.
