Create and Arrange New Pages
To add a new page to your site:
-
Log into your Weebly account
-
Navigate to the site you want to edit (this is only relevant if you have multiple Weebly websites)
-
Click Pages at the top of the screen
-
Click the Add Page button in the left-hand sidebar
-
You'll be prompted to create a Standard Page, a Blog Page or an External Link; choose your page of choice (mostly you'll choose the Standard Page option)
Selecting the Standard Page option adds a new page to your pages list, shown in the left-hand sidebar.
-
Add more pages lickety-split by clicking the Add Page button, and choosing Standard Page
As you add and name each of your pages, they'll automatically become part of your site's navigation bar.
-
Re-arrange the order of the pages by clicking and dragging them up and down the Pages list (dragging a page to the top of the list will make that page your Home page) The Home page can be renamed to whatever you want, like Welcome, shown here. Changing the order of pages in the list will change the order in which they're displayed in your navigation bar
