To Sign Up for Weebly
1. Go to www.weebly.com. Click “Sign-Up” and enter a username, password, and email. Note: There is no charge to build a free site! You’ll need to use a subdomain of Weebly since that’s the only free version. You should never enter payment or credit card info on this site!
Getting Started with Your Site
1. Decide on a theme for your site. Consider how the theme layout with fit with your topic (ex: modern NYC is probably not a good fit). Create a Title for your site. You can always change things later.
2. Create a url name for your site. Keep it short and sweet - avoid spaces, dashes, and punctuation. Try to make it descriptive of the info on the site. You’ll need to use a subdomain of Weebly since that’s the only free version.
3. Watch the overview video. Click on Begin Editing Your Site.
4. Before you start editing you should read about how Weebly works. Either click on the ? icon and select “Support Center” then “Beginner’s Guide to Weebly” or access the “Beginner’s Guide” at: https://hc.weebly.com/hc/en-us.
