After quite a bit of work building and testing the new custom theme features, we're happy to announce that we've finally launched the ability for any user to incorporate their own theme into Weebly.

When logged in and editing your website, you'll now see an "Advanced Editing" tab that appears when you are choosing a design. Click on this tab, and you will be able to edit the full HTML code and CSS styles of your website and upload files your theme depends on.


Once you do so, you'll be presented with a full suite of tools designed to help make advanced customization as simple as possible. From a syntax-highlighted code editor, to an instant preview tab, we've put some work into making the editing interface simple and comfortable.

When you've created a theme you like, you can export it by clicking on the "Export" button, which will prompt you to download the theme package .zip file. You can then give this theme file to any other Weebly user, who will be able to import the theme by clicking "Custom" and then "Import" under the Designs tab.

We're always working long days (and nights!) making Weebly the easiest and most powerful way for you to create a website, and we have a lot of exciting features coming up soon, including a simple way for you to customize your page without having to edit any HTML or CSS.

Thanks again for using Weebly, and thanks especially to the users who support us by purchasing pro or buying a domain -- we couldn't do it without you!

I think it's awesome that you did all the cool customization stuff, i just discovered it and it looks pretty sick!

02/27/2009 6:28am

Thank you! This makes me feel even better about my recent decision to go weebly pro! This is the type of thing that will keep me with you beyond my initial 6 months. Way to go!

02/27/2009 6:43am

OMG, this is soo cool! I was just thinking about this last night that Weebly should incorporate html editing for changing the theme.

You guys rock!

02/27/2009 7:00am

Fantastic! I've already used it to add a favicon.

02/27/2009 9:11am

Weebly is the best, I love it and I love the staff, great work guys keep it up because I love using weebly :)

02/27/2009 9:22am

This is a fantastic feature, I've already taken advantage! Thanks so much!

02/27/2009 10:50am

This is great.

Hopefully somebody will start a Weebly "how-to forum" with tutorials for the clueless folks like me, who do know anything about HTML or CSS.

I'd like to change my fonts. That "should" be simple, right?

02/27/2009 11:06am

I like the new interface.
It is good for us web designers to be able to customize like that!
keep it up!

03/01/2009 4:41pm

All looks great but all I'd like to do is modify my current theme. Looks like I have to start from scratch if I'm using a custom theme?

Any way to quick edit my current theme via the new advanced edit feature?

03/01/2009 7:31pm

Thank you for this announcement. I will try this quickly.

03/01/2009 8:51pm

I tryed it out and it was really cool but it was pretty confusing.

Zenith
03/02/2009 7:24am

Could you make where we can use html completely but also use the blog in the middle.

03/02/2009 12:42pm

Weebly was so not free for me. It was $69.90. I'm not going to use weebly.

Well done weebly keep those updates rolling out!

03/04/2009 2:41am

Fantastic Feature!!!! I was able to add a Meta tag to the heading in both my websites....

lovin Weebly, I am also a pro user and have found Weebly absolutely brilliant....a little slow on support tickets....I am useless with technology so have had to submit quite a few I suppose they have got fed up of me....but even that would not discourage me from using Weebly as the programme itself is so brilliantly fantastic Weebly should be proud of themselves....I have use a few different companies now and Weebly is definitely the best.

Many Thanks and Best Wishes to all at Weebly...

03/06/2009 8:10am

Where can we find some uploaded custom themes?

03/06/2009 4:32pm

How long can i keep my site?

03/06/2009 4:47pm

Hi,

Good thing but far way since your original mind: easy, no code, do and made in some minutes... A new feature which left a big part of your users...

Great news..although the themes provided by Weebly is more than enough for me, this new breakthrough will so beneficial for all Weebly members. Thanks

03/07/2009 9:31am

Why does every time I try to upload a new css theme it says error.

gr8 job.....weldone:)

03/09/2009 11:27am

Great stuff.... and how about the ability to insert robot.txt files or Sitemap files? (Am I asking too much?)

I am working like crazy to get my site high in the Google search results without much success... maybe the above would help...

03/10/2009 3:15pm

yahoo!!!cant wait im going to do the best theme ever............hope its not complicated -.-......xd

03/10/2009 11:21pm

when you release the new free theme?

03/10/2009 11:44pm

When will you enable the ability to use PHP. It would be nice to have, since I did pay for my site using Weebly!

03/11/2009 5:30am

I love this idea now if someone could just make a page with tons of free downloadable weebly themes so that even us people with crap html skills can have tons of themes to choose from....

Go to my site www.gtaforlife.com and if you can make me a theme that I like and I use it I'll give you credit for the site theme on the home page at www.gtaforlife.com send all custom entrys to switchdesigns@comcast.net

I am a world renoun 3d modeler and GTA modder, people will see your work!

03/11/2009 6:26am

Awesome stuff guys. But, for some reason the HTML editor wasnt working on my computer correctly.
Cheers!

03/11/2009 2:42pm

Great themes!

03/12/2009 4:56pm

is it too hard, because it seems cool!

03/13/2009 12:58am

finally! been waiting for this! 2 thumbs up! :)

03/14/2009 11:04am

That's awsome, now when can I start doing something awsome with my website with out having to use weebly pro?

03/14/2009 1:36pm

It would be really nice to be able to simply change the color, of the excising themes. Sometimes I wish I could just make the background a different color but im not sure how.

03/14/2009 4:16pm

It doesn't work! :(

03/15/2009 7:10am

WOW! this is the feature i've been waiting for. Lets hope its workable

Katy
03/15/2009 5:05pm

It's all well and good having the ability to make custom themes. But when you can't put any of the weebly elements into the pages you make, it just makes everything ten times more difficult.

mahtab
03/16/2009 6:42am

fantastic

03/16/2009 6:43am

wonderful, yey

03/17/2009 7:03am

Custom theme features, yes, that should fit me really well.

Clicking the "Advanced Editing" tab and I'm able to edit the full HTML code and CSS styles of your website and upload files your theme depends on.
Very nice!

scott
03/17/2009 10:15am

Why is this not working now?

Rafe005
03/17/2009 11:22am

When i go into designs as described in the article there is no 'Advanced Editing Tab'

Am i missing something?

Calli
03/17/2009 1:22pm

I do hope the advanced edit is coming back, and that it is just a glitch after the massive downtime yesterday and today......

Zenith
03/17/2009 1:24pm

It's not working anymore.

John
03/17/2009 2:30pm

I was in the middle of doing some "Advanced Editing" today, and the tinkering I was doing to my .html and .css was being reflected in my site, then POOF!, the "Advanced Editing" feature is gone. I'm not happy. Now my site is half-ass created and I can't fix it.

03/17/2009 4:30pm

Come on guys! A glitch is a glitch, but I've lost 2 days of productivity now, with the issues yesterday and now the advanced editing being down.

I am trying to be patient, but this is getting downright unprofessional.

Please work it out.

03/17/2009 8:02pm

is this for PRO users only?

dc
03/18/2009 12:42am

Phew, I'm glad it seems to be down for everyone in this case. I was about to submit a request asking them why I couldnt see the tab on my site. So can anyone tell if now - can I insert a 'custom html' element on a page and then style it by adding some CSS to this new CSS editor that I have access to - thanks

dev
03/18/2009 5:22am

Waiting very impatiently for the Advanced Editing tab to be back..

Hope it will be back soon... And hope to hear from the weebly team soon to out here with whats going on...

Wes
03/18/2009 5:56am

These are normal "growing pains" for a company with a great product - I signed up to be a pro user because financial assistance always helps with growing pains...

Weebly, could you at least clue everyone in? Maybe someone could help? - at least you would calm the sea of comments about to fly in.

webcasting
03/18/2009 11:06am

I pnly sew that option for one time...now if i want use it I cant!

t.
03/18/2009 3:07pm

Advanced Editing is back! Woohoo!

dc
03/18/2009 7:07pm

so is this working for everyone? I added my own html, actually some javascript in the header but the whole site disappears in preview?

03/19/2009 9:27pm

I think the themes are awesome. Very well laid out.

03/20/2009 12:28am

Someone needs to make a custom weebly theme site with tons of themes to choose from and download so that people can use them on their site. If anyone does this email me at switchdesigns@comcast.net with a link to the site!

03/20/2009 9:12am

New things are great. I can have fun changing things up a bit. Cool!

03/24/2009 5:59am

If you have a basic knowledge of HTML <Google it> it shouldn't be too difficult.

03/26/2009 6:23am

Can someone block these ads from getting posted. They are really dragging down the quality of the comments.

03/27/2009 8:17am

03/27/2009 1:07pm

Damian
03/30/2009 6:09am

Thanks for getting rid of the ads here. I put in a request for a feature that would add a <span> tag to the %%menu%% so that I can do rounded off menus options but I haven't heard anything back on it in the last week.

Does anyone else have a method of doing rounded menu items that I could use? It's important that it works with the %%menu%% tags since that give the active page.

04/02/2009 10:11am

nice job :)

04/03/2009 3:51am

Incredible..it's so easy now I couldn't even imagine!

can anyone give me the website to download free weebly themes?
I searched the net and could not find any :(
Also i have downloaded few themes to upload in blogspot,those code doesnt work in weebly as both CSS and HTML are embeded in same code but weebly is asking for seperate HTML and CSS code;
Any help is appreciated!

07/29/2009 11:02am

seperate keywords, meta tags for EACH page.

10/02/2009 12:48am

I'd like to see some actual examples of sites using this "custom" feature. Do you have referrals of people who can match up a template close to my branding on my personal site?

Wow! Great job, guys
