Weebly Tutorial for Beginners (2021 Full Tutorial) - Easy Professional Website

>> In this video I'm going to show
you everything you need to know

to build your first website with Weebly.

So this is a step by step tutorial in which I'll
show you all of the tools, where to find them,

and how to use them, so you can effectively
and efficiently build your first website today.

Now this is a tutorial for beginners,
but in the description of this video,

I'll have some notes there for different times.

If you are not a total beginner and
you want to jump to a certain section,

feel free to do so in the description.

So let's start off going to the
link at the top of the description

and it'll bring you right here to a
page that looks something like this.

So it's Weebly, and there's
e commerce by Square.

There's different options here.

We're going to go to sign up on the top right.

And this will be pretty straightforward.

They just want your name and your email.

So let's do that right now.

Now there now if you're watching this video,
you probably already selected Weebly compared

to Squarespace or Wix or many others out
there, and it is definitely a good choice.

I like using Weebly as much as
I like using the other ones.

Each one has its own purpose.

Weebly is great because you can also
have a free version when you start off.

But I really do recommend if you have a business
upgrading to premium is very, very necessary.

So we'll talk about that later on in the video.

But once you sign up for an account,
it brings you to the very next page.

Again, I really like the
clean layout right here.

So it says, do you want to just have a website?

Or do you want a website with an online store?

I will make another video in the future
about online stores in particular,

or we can add one if we really want one.

But right now I'm just going
to say, I just need a website,

and I'll show you how we're
doing that in this video.

So just selecting website, they
give you a whole bunch of templates.

You can select a theme, as they call it.

And so there's lots of options at the top.

If it's a business, a portfolio,
they split it into several groups

that really makes sense for
most people at least.

So you can say if you're like a blog, you'd
probably go with one of these over here.

And they definitely kind of arrange it
a little bit more for a blog type setup.

Now that's not to say that if you
choose this one, it has to be a blog.

If you choose it, you could easily make it a
portfolio, or a business, or a personal one;

it just might require a little bit more
reworking, which is really not a big deal.

So for our purposes, let's go down and
choose how about this one right here,

just a personal - a blog about food.

So they show you what the theme looks like.

You can go through here and kind of click
around and use the website for an example.

Say there's like an about me.

It's a personal type of blog.

You can go to the blog page and
you can have a contact page.

And maybe for our purposes today,
that's all we really need to have.

And for this tutorial, I'll show you everything
you need to know, for the other tools as well,

if you're making a business or something else.

But just for the example, let's
use a blog one right here.

So we can go up to start editing.

Click the blue button, and this will
bring you into the actual themes.

They're going to build it for
you, have the website ready,

and then we can start customizing.

So the first thing you're prompted with
then is to actually select a domain,

and you can actually transfer or
connect one if you already have one.

I'm not going to show that in this video.

Instead, we'll just get a brand new one.

So right here, www.mikeobrieniscool.com.

Let's just say see if that's available.

Who knows?

If it is, we can snag it.

And so they show you right there.

There is a professional domain
mikeobrieniscool.com.

Believe it or not, nobody took that one.

So it's included with a one year plan.

So we can go down and select this one.

And they have other ones as well,
other domains that are similar.

If yours is not available, it
suggests a few that are available,

or you can just keep looking for it.

So that'll bring you to the next page here.

And here you can see there's several
different plans you can choose from,

and each plan has different features
and a different price associated.

And if we actually want a free one, I know
earlier I said you can have a free one.

So if we jump back one step, you'll notice that
on the bottom of the screen, you can actually go

and select a free one, and you'll continue on.

Everything will be pretty much normal.

But when you publish your site, it
will definitely be less professional.

So you'll have Weebly ads all over there,
and you also won't have your own domain.

You'll have limited storage and
some other limits like that.

So your domain will be like
mikeobrieniscoll.weebly.com.

If you're running a business,
you obviously can't have that.

But if it's like a personal, maybe a project
for school, or if you're just doing it for fun,

or if you're looking to maybe have

like a wedding website that's not
professional, then it might be fine for you.

So definitely check that out.

But for most businesses, and I recommend
actually most websites in general,

you probably want to upgrade here.

So three plans.

One thing to note is the price that they
show you is the billed annually price.

So you do save money if you get it for the year.

If you want to pay month to month,

it is a little bit more expensive
as you see on the bottom.

That's like 50%, more expensive,
or 30%, whatever, more expensive.

So I recommend you go down
and compare all features.

So if we go down, they show you them.

And there's definitely some
big differences here.

So instead of just jumping on the cheapest one
right there, you'll notice that you do have

to pay extra for your domain then.

That might only be $10 or $12 a
year, maybe a little bit more.

They do all have SSL security, which
means that they're all encrypted.

They're safer.

They have a little lock icon
on the top next to your domain.

A lot of people look for that if
they're going to make online purchases.

This is not an e commerce store,
but they still pretty much look

for that when they go to websites.

You do not have unlimited
storage with the cheapest one.

Or actually sorry.

Yes, you do.

But it does not remove the Square ads, which
is kind of a drawback there that I find I

like to get rid of those ads so it
doesn't say powered by Weebly on there.

I think that's kind of unprofessional.

So for most people, I recommend going with the
middle plan right here, unless you really want

to go with the unlimited one over
there when you have more members

so you can have just some other stuff going on.

So I'm going to select the
professional one for this video.

And I'm making this website I'm not
actually using this website for anything.

So while I type in my credit card information
and pay to show you guys this tutorial,

please consider going down and click the
like button and the subscribe button.

And let's jump back to this in a second.

Okay. So next I want to give you guys
just a full tour of the editor here,

what the tools are, where to
find them, and how to use them.

So starting off with the top bar
there, the first thing is build.

And build gives you all everything on the side
there, on the left side, these are your tools

when you're really doing most
of the work on your page.

When you're trying to really build it, move
things around, make it look good, add content,

most of that is going to
be done in the build tab.

And we will come back to this.

I'll show you pretty much everything in here.

But continuing through, we have
pages, and pages is a great way

to go through your different pages.

So right now we only have
four with this template.

We have home; we have blog; we
have about, and we have contact.

So with those four, you can
go into each one of them.

So if you click on it, it'll bring
you to that page and also brings

up the menu for it on the left side.

So this is where you want to rename
it, or you can hide it from navigation.

So for example, if I want this
to be about Mike I don't know.

Same thing really.

And if we want this to well first of
all, you'll see that if we do about Mike,

it shows up in the top right
there in your navigation.

If you want to hide it, you don't want that to
be there maybe it's a page that we just want

to maybe only link to, we can
go and hide it in navigation,

and you'll see it disappears in the top right.

You can have headers.

So you can have if you want a header, no
header, or if you want like splash whatever,

all those let's check out splash right now.

Different headers.

You can see that it just
looks a little bit different.

I don't know.

So for this one, I'm going to say,
let's add just whatever, regular header.

We can tap and edit that later.

Then we can also go into our SEO settings.

And one thing with Weebly is
SEO can be a little bit tricky,

and we'll talk about this
more later on in the video.

But this is where you can have like the page
title, the page description, the meta keywords,

things like that, the footer code, if you're
going to add like a maybe a pixel or something,

you can do a lot of that in here.

So we'll come back to that
later on in the video.

Now if you want to rearrange the pages so if
we want to switch like contact and blog here,

you can click and drag them,
switch them either way.

And if you want contact to be a sub
page of blog, which means that it'll pop

up in the menu below there and people can go and
check that out, then you just click and drag it

to the right and you'll see it
disappears from the main menu there.

But people can still access it if
they go and check out up there.

See how it pops out below
that when you hover over blog.

So that's essentially everything
in the pages area.

Of course, you can add another page if you want.

And there should be some options
for what the page is like.

If you want like a product page, or a category
page, a standard page, most of those, you know,

should be covering pretty much
everything you're trying to do.

Then we go over to theme.

We already chose a theme before.

But you can change the theme.

You can change the fonts, and you can
change some theme options here if you want.

So not actually that many theme
options there as you can see.

You do have a lot of different
fonts you can mess around with;

change whatever the default of that.

I recommend using as few fonts as
possible while it still looks good.

And you want to if you're trying to have
this load fast and rank higher on Google,

you may want to look into some very
user friendly or load friendly fonts.

So like Roboto or Open sans
are two very popular ones.

So just something to look into if you
want your website to be a little quicker.

Then if we go over to apps, there are lots

of different applications
you can get on Weebly here.

So there's some that are made by Weebly.

There's some social ones.

You can have some traffic boosting
ones and just lots of apps.

Scroll through here and check
these out if you want.

I don't typically add that many apps for your
average, just quick online store or just simple,

you know when you're first
building this website,

you might not need these apps right away.

So let's go and close this,
not get any apps yet.

If we go over to settings, this
gets a little bit more advanced.

You can go into some general stuff there.

There is also SEO.

So again, for your general site, if you
want your site description and stuff

like that, you can decide to be editors.

If you have other people working on
this website, you can choose, you know,

who they are, what role they have.

And you can see like last login there.

You can have members joining your website
if you have like a members website.

Some people do that if they have
like creative content on there.

Or maybe like somebody has to become a member,

and you collect your email
for an email list then.

Just some other options there.

You can go down and manage your apps, and you
can actually manage some blog stuff down here.

And then we also have help up there
if you want to reach out to Weebly.

So that's everything across the top.

Let's go into the main one, as I
mentioned before, which is build.

And actually, let's go and
build a different page.

Let's work on the homepage first.

So if we go to home right here,
you'll see that brings home up.

Then let's go back to build,
and within build let's go down

and just start looking at what we have here.

So if you just go around, you can actually
see it's kind of a strip layout pretty common

for a lot of website builders like Weebly.

Of course, Wix is kind of the same
way, where you have options here

where this is like one whole strip right here.

And then we go down, and the
whole white area is another strip.

And then we go down here
and this is another strip.

So you can add more well they call them sections
is what they do, but it's like a strip layout.

And so you can add things.

You can add different strips.

You can move these around.

And so let's just look at the first one.

Let's just say if we want this,
which I believe is an image,

then we can either edit the
image; we can replace it.

We can make it a light box, which
means if somebody clicks on it,

it will come, fill up the whole screen.

You can you can link it to something.

So let's just say if we want this
to be a link, we can actually go

and link it to maybe like a website URL.

So we want this to link to

[ Typing ]

maybe another website.

Or if we want it to be linking to another
page, you can easily do that here.

And so we should be good with that.

So let's link that.

And we can go back so that now links
up to another website, another domain.

And then if we go down this is text right here.

So little text editor pops up above there.

So you can change like the
text color or whatever.

If you want it to be redo and undo, those
are the options on the right, right there.

Or you can just use the hotkeys
on your keyboard.

You can remove all the formatting.

Or what is really common for a lot of things
like down here if you're writing a blog post,

a lot of times people will have certain links
to either different sources as a back link

to somebody else, or a link to
another article within their website.

So right here we can go and create a link.

And you can link to whatever you want
somebody else's page, like I just showed you;

a product page; a blog post; a phone; an email.

Lots of options, be creative.

Whatever your need is it should
be very easy to add links.

And that's a really big thing
in a lot of websites today.

So down here, again, learn more.

That's going to be something that
is probably linked right now.

And it'll bring you to probably a blog
post or maybe to about me or something.

On the top, if we go up to the top left, you'll
see right here, this is some text right there.

And this really you want this
to be linking to your homepage.

This is really everywhere you go on your
header, you want the logo on the top left.

I recommend instead of text
just make it your logo.

It's usually pretty easy so you
get the right font, everything.

But just link that back to your homepage.

So wherever people are on your
website, they don't get lost.

They can click on the top left, and
just always go back to your homepage.

Now as we go down, you'll see that if
we really want to move things around,

you'll see they have a space right here.

They have you can choose where this
divider is, so you can move it over.

So the way that Weebly works is not as much
like a click and drag in more like kind

of a grid type system where you have a
block and you put in whatever you want.

So let's go over here.

I'll show you exactly what I mean.

So if we take another section, and we click
and we want we click and drag the section

between these two, you'll get a
nice blank section right there.

You can choose if you want it to be like
a you can add a gallery or a contact menu,

a featured thing, a team
thing, whatever you want.

Or what I want to show you is
just how to go and add elements.

So if we want a title at the top of this block,
see this little blue line at the top there,

you can see it shows up, and
you're just going to just drop it,

and it'll show up at the top
of this block right here.

So you can click and say, this is a new section.

[ Typing ]

So now let's say we want to add some text.

So if we click on text, and we drag it
down, again, it highlights all the sections.

So you can see if we want to add
it to this section right here,

you can see the blue line popping up above

to the right I mean to the
left, or below the title.

So let's drop it right below the title there.

And we'll have some text down below.

So we can add some text, just
whatever we want right there.

A whole bunch of new text there.

And let's say we want an image here as well.

So if we go down, the next thing is image.

You can click and drag.

Here you can see the image can go to
the left of that, to the right of that.

So if we want it to be let's just say we
want it right between the two, right there.

We want an image to pop up right there.

And we can choose what image we want.

We can upload an image, but you
can't really resize things that well.

What you have to do is actually add a spacer.

So if we want to do that, we can go down
and add a spacer as you see right here.

And let's add it to the left of this image.

So there is a spacer.

And this allows you to click and drag.

And this is kind of how you resize things.

So if we want the picture to be narrower,
we click and drag that to the right.

It'll have an image in that corner
and then a nice blank space right here

if that's what you're looking for.

Now, if you say, you know what?

I actually don't want a spacer right there.

I'd rather have some text there.

You can go and hover over the spacer,

and click the red X button
right there, and then delete it.

And this will go back to taking up the whole
spanning the whole width of the website there.

Now, like I said, if instead you want
something else maybe you want a map right there

or something, you can click and
drag and have that on the left,

and then you'll have a small map to
the left of what you have right there.

So as we continue down, you can
add a gallery or a slideshow.

And when you do that you can actually
have different images from your computer.

You can search for them in favorites.

This actually looks a little bit archaic.

That looks kind of like a '90s bar at the top.

But uploading images works just fine for me.,

Then like I showed you, you
can have a map right there.

And you can actually adjust your map settings
to how far zoomed I, where it zoomed into.

So maybe like your business
address would be a good idea.

And then you can have a more advanced location,
more advanced display if you want that.

So showing the marker; showing the scale;
map control, so zooming in and out.

So it should be pretty interactive.

Again, hosted by Google right there.

Google Maps is what they're using.

And it could be a great way for people to find
your restaurant, or whatever your, you know,

brick and mortar shop is,
people can find it like that.

We can have a contact form.

I do recommend contact forms
all the time pretty much.

They're a great way to get leads,
or get feedback, or get emails,

or you know it's a great way to get interaction
from people who are visiting your website.

So if you click on it, you can view the entries.

You can go to form options
and change what they type in.

So you can have like email to,
you can have confirmation message,

you can have spacing, you can change the button.

You get a lot of things.

You can change the fields,
you can change what they are.

Again, and kind of the same layout here
where if you want anything on the left here,

if you want like checkboxes,
you just click and drag that.

And you can put that like right
up maybe right above email.

So we go until we see the blue line.

And from the blue line, we can
just drop that in right there,

and you'll see that you have different options.

So contact forms are very easy to
adjust, and you'll see all we do is go

up to save and we have it right here.

That's our contact form.

So it'll say right there, it'll
automatically sync with promote.

Let's not do that right now.

We can do that later.

As we go down the left, again,
we have newsletter form.

We've got buttons.

Buttons are a big one because they're
just essentially a small image

that just does something.

So if we want to add it to maybe like
we want to add it like right down here.

Let's say we want a button right
below right above learn more.

Let's get rid of learn more.

Instead have a button right there.

And so this button, we could have it
say we could have a say learn more.

Button text could be learn more.

[ Typing ]

Right. Maybe we want a button
instead of this down here,

which means we can just go and get rid of this.

So you just hover over that, again, click on
the X, delete that little link text right there.

And we'll have this button instead, and the
button can link out to maybe a blog post.

And we don't actually have any blog posts
right now, but it would be right there.

That's how you link to a blog post.

As we continue down you can
change a lot of stuff with here.

So here you can see what they did is in
this section, they have three images.

They have little dividers right here,
and you can move where the dividers are.

So if you want one section to be
bigger than the other, you can do that.

And then we have, just below there,
a little title, another title,

a little squiggly line, and then a button.

So it's really easy to make
this however you want.

And one thing is you are limited to this
width, and you pretty much have to fill

that with unless you go back
and add more spacers.

As I showed you here, sections
are the whole area.

Dividers will make these
little things like that.

And then spacers will essentially be like if
you want a blank space between different things.

You can add different media, so HD video.

So you can add audio.

You can add whatever a document, a YouTube
video flash, or you can add a file.

And then also, you can go down and e
commerce stuff if you want to have a store,

or if you want to have some different things.

So let's go and check out another page.

Let's make a new page right here.

We're going to make this a product page.

And we're going to add products to our store.

And so we can do whatever we want.

If we want to call this like product number one.

So let's add an item right here.

It kind of walks you through it.

So we can say product [typing] number one.

[Typing] we can make it -
price is like $2 or something.

And then this is the product.

[ Typing ]

And so we can just choose
a lot of things about this.

And like I said, I'll show
you more of this later on.

But for now, we're just going to add that just

so I can show you guys how to
do that very, very quickly.

So we are pretty much good
with this item right here.

So then if you just go up to overview and
click on edit website, it'll bring you back

to where you were with your website.

So the build tab, and we were
scrolling down the left side.

So left side we go down.

We went through structure.

We went through media.

I just mentioned e commerce a little bit.

I don't want to talk about that too much

because that will be another
video like I mentioned before.

I can show you how to set
up e commerce with this.

But essentially, you'll just be clicking
and dragging that over and adding products.

It walks you through that fairly easily.

Then you can add a search box.

If we want a search box I don't
know, pretty much anywhere.

So if we just want it like on our title
right here let's say we want a search box,

we can add that right there so
people can search on our website.

I really don't recommend search boxes.

It's something that you saw a
lot maybe five or ten years ago.

But people are removing them now because with
Google as the primary directory to getting

to websites, people tend to
end up at the page they want.

And typically, your search bar will
not perform as well as you want

and may cause more problems
than it actually solves.

So I recommend just making a very easy
navigation instead of using a search bar.

Now let's go down and - how about
we want to add something else.

Let's check out a block quote.

So a block quote, if we want to add that
above these three, you can see right there -

block quote is pretty much what we saw like
I believe that might be a block quote there.

And it's pretty easy to just
add whatever you want.

It's really no different than any other text.

It's just italic and already centered.

So sometimes convenient.

And you can add surveys; you can
add Google Adsense, stuff like that.

Google Adsense, if we want to slap
an ad in maybe like right there.

You can authorize it and you can
add, you know, different things.

Make sure you're signed up and
registered for Google AdSense.

But it's a way to monetize your website, and
it's a really easy way Weebly makes for you

to just throw ads in there and make it very
easy to use Google AdSense on your website.

Then we can also add like a cookie opt out.

So if you're tracking, you can add it right
there, and people can opt out of your cookies

if you're tracking them with like
a pixel or something like that.

And then also, we can go down and change
things like adding different apps.

Now there's already one app here because
this is a template that we're using,

and obviously they have it set up for that.

The next thing that I didn't mention yet
is actually checking out the blog page.

So if we go to blog, it is pretty
straightforward, very easy to do.

So what you'll see here is they have
some authors, archives, categories.

You can change the layout
of your main blog page.

But if you don't have any posts,
obviously nothing will show up here.

So on the bottom, you'll
see a little blue button

on the bottom right, and it says new post.

Click on that and this is
how you create a new post.

And it should be pretty straightforward.

Again, kind of the same tools we saw before.

We can change like the post title
could be, how to [typing] sorry.

I can't type right now.

How to use Weebly.

[Typing]. And then here you
can start dragging elements.

So if we want like some text right
there, you can add that, and you have a -

so a very straightforward website builder.

Honestly, it's going to be just
like the rest of building a page.

But you're just building a blog post.

So you can add an image right there.

And then maybe below that, if you want to
add some more text, you can put that there,

if you want the image to be
next to some other texts,

going just put the text to the left of it.

And you'll see that, again, it's
very easy to build your blog

and make things look really good.

And you can have comments on there.

You can show us the date.

And so that's pretty much everything
you need to know about building a blog.

And you can go to the top right and you
can post it, or you can discard the draft.

You can save it of course.

I'm just going to post it and publish this,

and now you do have a blog post well I have
a blog post out there on how to use Weebly.

As you can see, it's like ten letters
long I guess, but you get the idea

of how you're actually going to be doing this.

So you can see right here that you can actually
share your posts then, and you can share it

on Twitter, whatever you want to do.

I'm not going to do any of that right now.

But then your post will pop up right
here, back on the main blog page.

So if we click on that, it does give
you it brings you into the blog post,

and you can edit it if you need to.

And you can go and update the blog post
meaning like republish it, and let it you know,

Google will re find it again, and
people will start seeing the new one.

And so when you're getting started, those are
really all the tools you need to add content

to your website, but it's
definitely not all you need to know.

The next thing that I recommend doing is
actually going up right here and clicking

on this, the device switcher, and you
can actually switch to mobile view.

And I highly recommend this, that everyone
should do this as much as possible to make sure

that your website actually still looks good.

So you can see that things are moving around.

Now the map is up here, and
we don't have our spacers

in the same place, and things
just look different.

And so it's really important that you go and
check this out because a very large portion

of your traffic will actually
come from mobile devices.

So people use their phones as much
or more than they use their laptop.

I mean, comment right now if
you're watching this on your phone.

I think there's a pretty good chance that a
lot of people are watching this on a phone.

And if not, I'm sure lots of people will be
visiting your website, regardless, on a phone.

So definitely go check that out and make sure
that your website looks normal with this.

And if it doesn't, you can always go and
read you know, just revise it a little bit.

Go back to desktop mode, move things around.

One kind of drawback with Weebly is that they
don't have the best mobile editor right there.

So if you're trying to edit how it looks
in mobile, most of that you'll be doing

over here in the desktop version.

Just one small drawback, but
it's pretty easy to work around.

And for the most part, I find they do a good
job because they're kind of a block layout here,

instead of a random drag and drop, I
find that they make it pretty easy,

and they generally do a good job of translating
from the desktop version to the mobile version.

And so that's pretty much everything
that you really need to know here.

Then if we go down to the
bottom right, you'll see this is

where you can go and find some different tips.

You can learn about adding an element
right there, removing an element.

I showed you all of that in this video.

But if you need reminders, it is nice
that they have that right down there.

And then the last thing you'd want to do is
go up to the top right and click on publish.

And you can publish your website.

It will be available out there
at the domain that I showed you.

So next I want to talk about how you
should manage and optimize your website.

So once you have all the information on
there, go up to the top left, click the X,

and you'll see this will bring you to
your Weebly kind of dashboard right here.

They have a setup guide and walk
you through some basic stuff.

We're not going to look at that right now.

But you'll see that it does give you some
information" how many sales you made,

how many page views, how
many unique visits you have.

And then the setup guide,
like I mentioned before,

is down here for like connecting your domain,
setting up like shipping and tax and stuff

like that if you're selling
things; publishing your website,

and they walk you through a
couple of different things.

Then on the left, it does get
a little bit noisy over here.

As you can see, you can go down and have
different options for like messenger or pop ups.

So if we want pop ups, we
can go and click on that.

And again, this is all a little bit more
advanced stuff, but it's a good way to,

you know, have a pop up, to have
an email campaign for example.

So you can have it pop up, have people
sign up for your email campaigns.

You can offer discounts.

You can make an announcement.

If you just changed your website or if it's
under construction, it might be good to do that.

Or it could be like I don't know if you're
maybe like a liquor store or something,

having a pop up to verify the age of
a visitor to make sure that they're

like over 21 or whatever they need to be.

So let's go and check out
maybe build an announcement.

I'm not actually going to go
through all of this right now.

But you'll see that they do
have some different layouts.

So you can have like when
somebody gets to homepage,

maybe after some amount of time, it'll pop up.

And it'll say like, hey.

We've got some special offers.

Or hey, our website is under construction.

And you can see what it looks like on mobile.

And again, you can see what
it looks like on desktop.

You can change the settings for it.

You can change the frequency of
it, like every time they visit.

Or it could be like once a day, once
every three days, different options here.

And it's all really cool you can do that.

So let's say - I'm not going to save
that draft, not going to add that.

But it's something that you definitely want to
check out and consider doing on your website.

We go to messenger.

You can set up Facebook Messenger.

I'm not going to do that in this video.

If we go to items, you can see like an item
library, categories, reviews, gift cards.

This is more like store based stuff.

So gift cards or coupons maybe could
be something that you use right there.

Marketing gets into some more advanced stuff.

So if you want to run ads, or have
a mailing list, or have, you know,

pretty much any of this stuff
let's go to overview right here.

Not every website is really going to
concern themselves that much was marketing.

It obviously is very important, but specifically
more important if you're doing things

like an online store, for example.

But obviously, if you're doing something like
just a personal portfolio, or a wedding website,

or a website for, you know, basic, casual
stuff like that, and you're not trying

to just grow an audience with that, maybe
marketing won't be as important for you.

So again, down here, they have some suggestions.

You can add different pop
ups and things like that.

It's all a little bit less important.

You can go down to insights and
see the overview for your traffic.

Maybe this is an okay tool.

I wouldn't say it's the best tool out
there to see how well you upside doing.

I typically use something like [inaudible],
or a lot of the Google tools out there

with their analytics that can really help

to track your website a little bit
more compared to other websites.

But for basic comparisons and for basic
understanding of what works and doesn't work

and what blog posts work and don't
work, it's not bad to do this.

So, guys, I think that's pretty much
everything I have to show you in this video

about starting your first Weebly website.

Obviously, when you get started,
the biggest thing is not going to be

to know every single detail about
Weebly, it's really going to be doing it.

So like at the end of this video,
go out there, start your website,

and just start adding information
to it, start building it.

And publish your website so you have a website
out there because the best way to succeed

on the internet is to be on the internet.

So you know, sitting back from a recliner and
watching lots of videos and thinking about it,

and watching other websites
grow is great, but eventually,

you just have to take the next
step and build your website.

And I hoped this video helped you to do that.

I wish you success with your online website
and whatever ventures you're doing out there.

Good luck, guys.

Thank you all for watching.

I'll see you in the next one.
