Get Started button to register
for an account.

Weebly is free to use but will try and tempt you to upgrade to a paid-for
account. If this happens, just go back a page. You shouldn't need to pay.
Choose a theme for your new website.

There are lots to choose from (and you can change this later so don’t worry too much about
finding a perfect one at this stage) but avoid ‘Mandy Miller’ photographer as it is a pain to
modify later on.
When you have
chosen your
theme, click on
the start editing
button.
You need to create a website address for your new
site.

Type this into the box and click search.

Try to use the format:


msfirstnamelastname.weebly.com

Click Choose to select the subdomain
at the bottom.

This is free. The other options will


ask you to pay for an upgrade.
Click the Done button to
create your new site.

Practice editing the test page. Create a title and create some text. Add some images, a YouTube video and a PDF.
