Weebly

Note: Your instructor must create your account. Please see them when you are ready to begin using Weebly.

What Should I Do?

  1. The first time you log in, Weebly will ask you to choose your website domain. This is the address people will use to find your site online. You will be using a subdomain of weebly.com. DO NOT USE ANY PERSONAL DETAILS IN YOUR DOMAIN (names, birthdays, etc.). You can close the pop-up window and skip this step for now if you want to decide later. Note: You won't be able to publish your site without deciding on the domain name.
  2. A tutorial will appear in the upper-righthand corner of the page. Read each section and then press the Got It button to move on. Do not skip anything, and be sure to take the time to read carefully.
  3. Once you've viewed the full tutorial, you will be able to start exploring the Weebly interface and creating your website. Take a look below for more detailed instructions on how to design your page.
