If you have ever used the Weebly Designer platform, you can attest to the fact that ones of the most exciting features of that platform is the “Preview” button which makes it possible to preview a website.
What’s so exciting about the preview, you ask?
Well… being able to preview a website means that you are able to see how the website looks or will appear to your users when it is eventually published.
Whether you are a newbie building your first Weebly website or a professional web designer/developer creating your 1000th website, one thing we can all agree is that building a website does take sometime, especially when you don’t have all the details figured out.
In this post, I’m going to show you how to quickly setup and build a Weebly website using any custom template of your choice.
By un-publishing a Weebly website we mean deactivating the website so that it is no longer online which means can no longer be viewed.
There are a number of reasons you might want to un-publish your Weebly website, it could be because:
One of the disadvantages of the Weebly website builder is an inability to undo changes made. This of course is due to the fact that after all these years, Weebly is yet to introduce an “undo button” which would allow its users to revert to previous version after making some changes.
The undo button is very useful in building websites and most (if not all) online publications because we are prone to mistakes which can be rectified by simply hitting the “undo” button.
A 404 page also known as “Page Note Found” is an error page that a website user is shown when trying to access a website URL that no longer exist.
A website URL might no longer exist if that URL has been deleted, renamed, or moved without a redirect created for that URL.
In such cases, trying to access that URL will return a 404 error which indicates that such URL was not found or no longer exist.
You have probably found yourself in situations whee you need to rename a website page, or where you need to delete a page which of course are very easy to accomplish in Weebly.
The purpose of this article is to answer the question you probably have, which is: “What happens to the URL after I delete a page?”
There are lots of reasons you might want to have your website pages appear in bold letters, usually to match your logo or business branding.
This article will focus on how to capitalize the Weebly menu and sub menu without having to go page-by-page to type with caps lock on.
For those familiar with Weebly, you must have noticed that you can turn on “Uppercase” option for the menu via the Fonts panel. This option unfortunately only capitalizes the main menu but doesn’t capitalize the sub pages (or drop down menus).
This means that we can easily capitalize the Weebly main menu but we need to do a little more work to capitalize the sub menus.
Let’s begin with a general understanding of website menu structure which is most likely something you already know but we will do a quick overview just for the sake of this article.
When we say “Weebly Menu” we are referring to the main navigation pages (or page names) that appear usually on a website header or sidebar depending on the theme in use.
Below image shows a Weebly website header with its navigation menu indicated by the red arrows.
Have you noticed how blog posts are usually summarized into 2-4 lines with a link or button that either says “Read More”, “Continue Reading”, “Full Post”, etc?
And when clicking on that “Read More” link or button the full post open for further reading.
In this post, I’m going to show you how to shorten/summarize your own Weebly blog post using the Read More element.
There are a number of reasons you might want to rename pages on your Weebly website. It could be because one or two of your services have changed, a page name such as “Portfolio” now has to be “Completed Projects”.
In the case of above example, the URL which for example was example.com/portfolio would become example.com/completed-projects. Where “example.com” refers to your website domain.
