Building the Basics

Tutorial

Theme

First choose a theme and color pallet.  It is as easy as clicking on the design you like and giving it a go.  You can always change your mind later.  

---

Add Pages

Click on the "Page" section to start adding pages.  You can choose from standard pages to blogs.  Teachers, you will want both.  Standard pages are perfect for saving online game links.  Blogs are great for classroom updates, events, and activities.

Build

Weebly has the easy to use drag and drop feature to create your personalized page.

Organize

Keep organized!  Even if you are building a site for your kids make sure that it is easy to use and clearly labeled.  I suggest providing a title and button for each game so your kids know what they are about to play.  You can add cool images or even videos later.

Link

Now we will add a link from the button you created to the website.  When you link a picture, text, or button you are making a connection with a specific website.  
1. Copy the URL of the website you want your kids to visit.
2. Click on the button in your webpage.  You will see a small box with options.  Choose "Link". Now paste the address in the "Website URL" section and Save.

Publish 

Don't forget to click the "Publish" button in the top right corner to save all your work.  Once you have done so, click on the three bars next to the publish button.  

Go to "My Sites" and find your website and URL address.  This will be your website address for your kids to go to and play.
