On each page of your website, you can choose whether or not you want a header. On our Newsletter page (above), I opted for no header but on our At-Home Practice page (below), I’ve included a simple picture (from Weebly’s stock photos) and a title.
Within each page, you can drag-and-drop pictures, text, headings, or videos. Within our At-Home Practice page, I’ve included logos to learning resources and then, added the weblink so families can click on them and be instantly connected. I’ve also included the usernames and passwords, so there is easy-access on the weekends and over breaks.
(1)Website Traffic – I love my classroom website and truly feel like it’s a fabulous method of communication. BUT if my families weren’t using it, I would want to know that and make another plan. I like seeing how often my website is visited and how people are accessing it (what pages, from what links, etc.)
(2) Ad Free – Although there are very few ads (usually just one at the bottom of the page) with a free account, it still drives me bonkers.
(3) Password-Protected Pages– with a paid account I can password protect any or all of the pages on my website. So, if I wanted to or families asked, I could put a password on our Classroom Blog or Photos tabs, so only people with the password would have access to these pages.

I love using Weebly for our website! We had to create one in one of my undergrad classes for a "fictitious" class and I fell in love! But the way you have structured yours make me want to revamp. Putting it on my ever growing to-do list!

Thank you so much! I absolutely love it, and love how it looks. Summer to-do lists are the best, right?! 🙂
Renae Walker says
Weebly is new to me and I am excited about using it.
April Pickett says
I use Weebly for my classroom website. I upgraded to the Starter package and I am so glad I did! I can add an unlimited number of pages! I will be making sure to utilize it even more this school year! I am still working on updating it, but please check it out! http://thepickettpress.weebly.com/
Kate says
Great start, April! I love that you have a tab and direct link for Scholastic Reading Club. That is a fabulous idea. I think I'm going to steal it. 😉
Becky W says
I have never used Weebly. I used edublogs for awhile because I wanted my students to be able to comment to practice reading and responding to a prompt on the computer. I teach third grade and their tests now are on the computer where they read and type. Is Weebly able to do this? I had planned on using my classroom to blog as a means for them to read and respond, but Weebly may be better.
Samantha Riggs says
What design did you use? I have tried several and none of them allow me to add to the bottom of the page (where you created the three sections on your homepage.)
Kate says
Hi Samantha! I used Clean Lines and love it. It has the one large picture on the front and then you scroll down to add drag-and-drop features!
Lori Musa says
Great post! Almost every teacher in my school uses Weebly. Our school website is also on Weebly, and there is LOADS of info on it. I like my site, but I need to be consistent about posting more frequently.
You can check out both sites:

This sounds great. Looking forward to exploring. I liked the free part. I just wished educational items wouldn't be costly. All I do is spend, spend, and spend. ?
Kate says
Hello! The free Weebly for teachers and fantastic. There is no real reason to upgrade (I just wanted some additional features.) In fact, all the teachers at my school have Weebly sites, and I think I'm the only one that pays!
Jayhawk Teacher 3 says
I feel like I should be easily figuring this out, but how did you have an image that linked to another website (like for your resources). Do you have an easy way of creating those links? Love the inspiration- thank you!
Kate says
Yay! I'm so glad you figured it out. Just in case anyone else is wondering – just click on the image. Click Link (sometimes under the Advanced tab) and then, insert the document or web link. 🙂
Jayhawk Teacher 3 says
Thank you! You completely inspired me and I sat down and made one in a short amount of time that is ALMOST ready to roll for Fall!!! You rock

I figured it out!! woohoo
Krogers Kindergarten says
Thanks for this post! I really want to try this out with my class this year. I'm going to want to make the blog private so I can use pictures of my kids so I'll probably be upgrading.
Jessica Walters says
I love this post. I need to freshen up my class website and am thinking of moving to weebly. Do you use the version for education or did you just go through the main site?
Holly Broony says
Really informative post, thank's for sharing..:) I thought you might be interested in http://www.uk.essay-writing-place.com/. I use it, nice service for busy people.

Can we visit your weebly to see how it functions? I teach 3rd grade and think I want to use this platform.

Thank you for your post! I can't seem to find a link to your weebly. Am I missing it?
Jennifer Howell says
I enjoyed your post on Weebly and have created one for my classroom. I am looking for a theme that would be appealing to kids. There are only about a dozen themes showing up. How do I find a theme that is appropriate and appealing to 5th graders?

Brigida Yeager says
Haha, it's not that surprising, but it is nice to find another teacher who is using Weebly to create quick and easy classroom resources. I found some limitations in my time using the platform, but I would never argue that it isn't a viable option. Teachers utilising the web for their students add tremendous value in my opinion.

Hey Catherine! My wife stumbled across this blog post via Pinterest and promptly sent it to me since I work at Weebly. I'd love to chat with you if you have some time. You can reach me at jwalter@weebly.com.
Jane Osborne says
Thanks for explaining from a user point-of-view why Weebly is better than the site I was recommended. The computer teacher at my school said to use another provider but it seemed so complicated. I don't have time to learn any HTML. This seems so easy and I think I am not only going to make one for my own classes but also recommend it as one that the kids can do for their English projects.

Is there any way I could look at your weebly? What's the link? I am creating mine and would love to get ideas!
Kinsey says
Hey Kate,
I am trying to build a new class website from weebly and I checked out yours for inspiration. I was wondering how or where you got that amazing little 5 category ‘announcements’ board with the colours and images that seem to be so convenient and easy to read and understand? I tried making it myself but it flopped.
Thanks so much and thanks for sharing all our amazing ideas!
Catherine says
Hi Kinsey! I made is on Canva (an online design program). Unfortunately, due to copyright I can’t share it. If you wanted to make your own, I would make it in PowerPoint with rectangles and pentagons. 🙂

I have reviewed the page and will research more into how to create a weebly sight

Kelly Dorman says
This was very helpful and user friendly, thank you for sharing!
Fay Esters says
That sounds like an excellent method to communicate with students’ parents. This is a traditional method of communication with non-traditional content. If click, drag, and drop are the basic features, I should be able to do this effortlessly. Thank you for sharing.
