Begin by Choosing a Design from the Designs Tab

Look at the top of your Weebly screen, and notice that one tab is currently white (active) while the other tabs are currently blue (inactive).

To switch between tabs, and to be able to see the choices available under each one, simply click on the label (text) on the tab.

In this case, we want to begin creating your website by clicking on the "Designs" tab.

After Clicking on the Designs Tab, You Can Choose a Different Design Than the Weebly Default Design

1.) When you select the Designs tab, the tab will turn white, and a long row of possible new website designs will appear.

2.) Resting your mouse over any design for a moment will allow you to try out that particular design on your website.

3.) At the far right of the row, there is a green arrow. Clicking on the arrow will display still more designs. Note that you can click the arrow multiple times for more choices.

4.) Select a design that is pleasing to you by clicking on the design. Your screen will change to reflect the new design that you've chosen.

Return to the ElementsTab to Continue Your Work

Once you've decided on the basic overall website design (color, look and feel, and placement of the menu), return to the "Elements" tab to continue working on your website.

Click on "Elements" to select it. The Elements tab is now white (active) and the Design tab has returned to blue (inactive).

And the menu of choices has changed.
