The Weebly Blog

We've just upgraded the Weebly video player to now support fallback to HTML5 video on systems that don't support Flash. In practice, this means that the videos now work on mobile phones and on the iPad!

As you can see from the sample video above, the upgraded video player also features a small design facelift.

It's our small way of saying "Thanks" to Weebly Pro users for your support! We thrive on your continued feedback to let us know what we're doing right, what we could be doing better, and what new features we should build next.

From the entire Weebly team, we hope you have a very happy New Years and prosperous 2011!

Happy holidays everyone.  We have a little gift for you.  We've expanded the capabilities of ImagePerfect, our awesome built-in image editor, to work with all images on your website and no longer just the header image.

Now when you hover your mouse over an image, you'll see an "Edit" button appear.  Clicking this will open ImagePerfect, allowing you to crop, rotate, fade the image, and add a number of photo effects (with more to come).  In addition, you can overlay multiple images together to create a collage. You'll also notice that you can freely drag your images around within a paragraph for greater layout flexibility.

We've created a quick demo video to show you how all these new features work.

As we close out 2010, we want to take a moment to thank everyone for supporting us and choosing Weebly to build your web presence.  We've grown incredibly this past year, so thank you.

Below is a picture of (most of) the team behind Weebly to help you put some faces to the name :-) We're looking forward to a fun, feature-filled new year and wish you guys a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2011! 

Google just released the Chrome web store, a place for users of the Google Chrome™ web browser to discover and install applications, and we're proud to be featured in the utilities category.

Even better, Weebly login has been integrated so that you don't need to sign-up or log-in if you're already logged in to your Google account. Just hit the Weebly app icon, and you'll be ready to edit your site!

And as the fastest web browser out there, Chrome provides the best experience for using Weebly today.

If you're a Chrome user, be sure to visit our Weebly app page, install the Weebly app, and give us a rating or review!

We're happy to announce that all websites made with Weebly are now mobile optimized. When someone visits your website from a mobile device, they are automatically shown the mobile version.

The color that appears at the top and bottom of the mobile site is configurable under the "Settings" tab of the editor. Here you can also opt to disable the mobile site from showing altogether. In this case, your mobile visitors would still be shown the regular website.

We hope you enjoy these new features! As always, we'd love to hear your feedback in the comments and greatly appreciate your support. We have a number of other cool features to announce soon, so make sure to keep on eye on our blog!
