Adding and Deleting Columns in Weebly:
To add columns to your Weebly page, click on the “Columns” button in the editor toolbar. Select the number of columns. Click “OK”. The columns will be added. You can add content to each column.
Weebly is great for websites, but be careful with columns. You can drag lines between columns to adjust size. Hold Shift while dragging for precision. Spacers provide space between elements. You can delete columns by clicking “X” then “Delete”.
How to Manage Columns and Layouts in Weebly:
When you hover over a column, you’ll notice a blue border around the outside along with some buttons at the top. The buttons allow you to perform various actions. The center button is what you’ll use to drag the column to a new spot on the page.
Manipulating Elements on Weebly:
Spacer element can be used to provide space between elements, above the element, down the element or beside the elements. For example, you can adjust the position of an image by adding spacer above and below.
How do I add a column divider in Weebly? Drag and drop “Block Quote” element between the two elements. Press “Enter” button to increase the height of the vertical divider. The blank block quote in the center column will act as a vertical divider between the other two elements.
How do you put buttons next to each other on Weebly? Drop elements side by side. Though this offers different types of possibilities, it is never being the case like before.
Let us take an example of moving four text element. Just drag and drop four text elements on the content area of the editor. Click on the center divider line to see the “Columns” popup. Drag the dragger button to move all the elements inside the columns to move wherever you want on the page similar to moving single elements.

To add a page, click on the “Pages” tab and then on “Add Page”. A new page will be added you can start adding content to. To add content, use the blocks from the “Content” sidebar and drag and drop them onto your page. Fill the blocks with your content.
Weebly lets you make up to 10 websites free with your account. Teachers used the platform to build websites and manage free student sites, or more with a paid subscription. With Weebly themes and templates, you can have unique websites. First select a theme, which contains built-in templates. Then tweak elements like pictures to customize your site. You can also insert images by dragging the image block anywhere. You can easily make changes or modify an image by using the image function in the Weebly builder.
Weebly is perfect for classroom and student websites, e-portfolios, and project sites due to its user-friendly drag-and-drop editor. Settings are flexible and can be set up as desired. To add a title, drag the title block where you want it positioned. Edit the title as needed. To add text, drag it where desired. It will include text in paragraph form by default.
Signing Up and Domain Selection:
When starting a Weebly site, go to Weebly.ca and click “Sign Up”. You can create and publish a basic free website. This lets you explore the platform before selecting a paid plan. After signing up, choose between the two options. Register an optional domain name by searching available names in Weebly Domains. However, it’s best to buy a domain at places like GoDaddy for lower costs. Then you can use Weebly or WordPress hosting.
