We've been very busy lately creating a set of features to help you customize your website header images.  Most themes have a header image, or banner, at the top of the page.  Now, you can easily replace this default image with one of your own, or one from our gallery.  You can also add text into the image and all sorts of cool effects.  To top it off, each page of your site can have its own header image.  These features are truly awesome and we think you're going to love them! 
Picture
Before we release these features live on weebly.com, we want to get them fully tested by those interested to make sure they are perfect.

Here's how to check out the new features:
  • Login to our special "beta" version of Weebly, located at http://beta.weebly.com
  • Hover your mouse over your website's header image and and click on the "Edit Image" button you'll see appear
  • Have fun creating your header image masterpieces
  • Give us your suggestions, feedback, and bug reports through http://betafeedback.weebly.com
We hope you enjoy and very much would appreciate your feedback!

Always nice to see you developing new ideas.

07/15/2010 4:58pm

I'm soo mad, I made some really cool header images, and I forgot I went back to the regular Weebly, and I published under that, and my headers are boring again. Uggg, Ill go back some time to fix it.Uhhh.

07/15/2010 5:02pm

@Colleen,

If you log back into http://beta.weebly.com, you should see that the header images you created are still there, and you can republish your site to get rid of the old, boring one :-)

07/15/2010 5:38pm

So very cool! I'm gonna try it right now. THANKS WEEBLY TEAM!

07/15/2010 6:54pm

Thanks so much for all of your efforts. They are very appreciated.

Excellent - now how about more revenue options - more pageing features such as numbered pages within each section so as to not scroll forever and more currencies!

This site is frickin excellent!

Thank you

G
07/15/2010 7:21pm

How about language features too as I deal in Portuguese and English!

07/15/2010 7:28pm

Great enhancement! I have a question about the text box. Is it possible to click and drag the text box around to place it anywhere on the header image? If so, I am having trouble.

07/15/2010 8:05pm

@Jim

Thanks! The trick to moving text is to click it and move it in one motion, as opposed to clicking, releasing, and then trying to move it. We're going to make this a little easier to do. Thanks for the feedback.

07/15/2010 8:05pm

Jim Tomlinson,

Just click outside the text box to something else. Then click your text box and drag (without pausing when clicking.)

** Make sure you click far enough outside of the box so as to not hit the delete box!

07/15/2010 8:51pm

one word cool

07/15/2010 11:31pm

Finally! I've been waiting for this feature! I can't wait to try this out.

07/16/2010 12:07am

This feature really make me happy. Love you weebly.

07/16/2010 1:19am

I did the changes on my headers for every page. Really, it is way too cool and this is something that my co-photobloggers would want to have on their sites. But it left me questioning if it won't affect the loading time of the pages. My visitors would sometimes leave me a message that they get at times page loading problems.

07/16/2010 3:19am

That's fantastic work weebly! Keep it coming...

07/16/2010 4:37am

Cool features from Weebly again and again. Thanks so much guys, all worked fine here!

07/16/2010 6:27am

cool so cool

07/16/2010 8:56am

Wow! These are great and important options!

Thank you Weebly Team; you're awesome!!!

07/16/2010 10:08am

I just love this awesome new header image features. To make it perfect weebly should add sideshow feature to their header.

Thank you for this feature Weebly

I used it on my band site - www.therunawaykings.tk

Victor
07/16/2010 10:49am

You guys done a great job. I would like to challenge you to take a step further by introducing embedded swf pictures or movie so we can just click and go to one page to another or from one site to another. This can be a banner like this site www.qmb.co.nz.

07/16/2010 10:52am

This is an AMAZING feature! Not only are the header editing elements easy and robust, but the ability to have different headers per page? GENIUS!

Thank you!!!!

07/16/2010 12:15pm

Thanks! This is so AWESOME, can't wait to try it out!

07/16/2010 12:41pm

How about you do about the same to ALL images; crop, rsize, burn, all those stuff? :D

07/16/2010 1:52pm

This is the most amazing thing I've seen yet, I'll tell everyone.

07/16/2010 1:59pm

Awesome!!!!! this is what we have been waiting for - fantastic. Can we have a payment portal next where we dont have to use Paypal!! then its a perfect total solution. Brilliant Brilliant!!

Jim
07/16/2010 3:53pm

Weebly... keep it up!!!

User login support would dominate the competition!!

I'm sure its coming in the future!!

This is awesome!

I'll subscribe till I die... lol


07/16/2010 4:02pm

Oh, how I love you Weebly! This is awesome!

07/16/2010 4:51pm

Just want to congratulate the Weebly 'Elementals' creative team for this new feature. We sent our 7 comments to: http://betafeedback.weebly.com as requested above.

Great feature - just when WordPress3.0 came out with changeable banners. Thanks Weebly!

07/16/2010 8:33pm

This is great! I'm having trouble with the "different banner on each page" function though. Seems like I can't add more than one image?

07/17/2010 4:26pm

I love to customize!!! Thanks Weeble dudes!

07/18/2010 7:13am

BRILLIANT (as always) I've added text with a purple glow to my header and I Love it!!! www.meintheuniverse.com

Weebly, you should get support forums.

Stiti
07/18/2010 4:26pm

Awesome!

Suggestion: option to set a link for the text or the image.

thank you guys!

07/19/2010 5:30am

Awesome ! I'm sure will love it...

Rahim
07/19/2010 6:11am

The new header feature is incredible!

There were some integration issues with the remainder of the site.

For example when I changed the paragraph title is doesn't publish with the changes.

But when I log in it looks the way I designed it!

07/19/2010 9:34am

Every new release on this site is great.

Was wondering if just like the text on the headers can be dragged, could you make this possible with all text on all the pages (not just in the header).

I appreciate all of your great work!

My website is www.talktherapytv.org

07/19/2010 9:46am

Exactly what I was hoping to do! Thanks Weebly

07/19/2010 11:10am

Wow. This is awesome! Thanks for this feature.

07/19/2010 11:12am

Love love love this feature !!

07/19/2010 11:22am

Perfect for begginers who don't know edit images in Photoshop, Corel Photo Paint and other 'advanced-user' image editors.

07/19/2010 12:24pm

Love it!! Great feature to add!

07/19/2010 1:52pm

I absolutely LOVE this new feature!!!

07/19/2010 2:39pm

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR! :D :D :D

WEEBLY FOR THE WIN!!!!

07/19/2010 4:26pm

These features are awesome!

Weebly rocks :)

07/19/2010 4:28pm

Fantastic feature. Love these sort of image editing features & your new one compares, more than favourably with others that are available. It is soooo easy to use. too.

Thought it was being installed this morning when I logged into my Weebly site & there was a notice saying that Weebly was installing some wonderful ew stuff into my browser. Got all excited. LOL.

Can't wait for this function to be ready.

Niki
07/19/2010 5:08pm

LOVE the idea -- the beta wudn't let me sign up becuz the email address is already in use? I guess this is becuz I have already published? Pls tell me how I can participate as it will make one of my dreams come true!!! Thankx

07/19/2010 6:27pm

i love it, but wait... is it supposed to go to my site on normal weebly when i save and publish it on Beta weebly? cuz if it is, it's not working! Help!

07/19/2010 11:39pm

Is there a way to stretch the image? thanks

07/20/2010 8:48am

Same issue as Rahim after creating custom header. Changes to title and paragraph text look correct in editor mode, but when published are default for the theme.

Tried resetting and applying changes again and using custom css but neither showed correct formatting when published.

?? Thanks!!

07/20/2010 11:47am

Another excellent feature!

Thanks Weebly :)

07/20/2010 12:59pm

Tried it and very pleased with the result. Thanks guys.

Julia

07/20/2010 1:08pm

I love the new feature! Brill. Weebly you really are good at your jobs!

07/20/2010 2:35pm

WOW! THIS IS GREAT! I FOUND IT VERY EASY TO USE AND I AM BEGINNING CHANGES TO MY PAGES TO MAKE THEM MORE OF AN IMPACT.

THANKS

07/20/2010 4:06pm

'Hats Off!' for all the beautiful features you come up with, again and again and again...
All your photographs fit perfectly to all the tabs we're gonna use for our next client! Thanx!

07/20/2010 8:53pm

For some reason, I could not edit the picture - the options were not available. I LOVE the new fonts you are offering! One question - will you be adding a feature with the new header feature to insert shapes (i.e. arrows, rectangles, etc.)? That would rock!

07/21/2010 2:55am

Fantastic! I've been waiting for this option. You guys are brilliant, not only for these great features, but also for paying attention to what your customers want!

Way to go Weebly!!

Gaudenz
07/21/2010 4:54am

This is fantastic stuff!!! Way to go!

07/21/2010 5:41pm

Hi,

I'm having trouble uploading a PNG file onto your new heading uploader. It doesn't detect transparency or whatsoever on my designs whenever I upload it. So if you could fix the problem Weebly. That would be great!

Thank you!

07/21/2010 5:59pm

Great feature. Thank you!

07/21/2010 8:27pm

This is nice, but I was honestly expecting something more. Some of the other sites allow for rotating hyperlinked banners, and that is what our organization was hoping would come this summer. While the tools are nice, graphics programs can implement these types of edits. However, graphics programs cannot allow me to have banners introducing our organization's programs and services the way I was hoping Weebly would go. Over all, good stuff though.

07/21/2010 10:14pm

I love it. It has made my site look so much more professional. You guys rock.

07/22/2010 3:08am

This is going to be so handy!

Pat
07/22/2010 10:00am

I love it. Exactly what I was looking for. Question: If I work in "beta" mode will everything be saved. When will the new changes be live?

Thanks for the great work.

Tony
07/22/2010 4:20pm

Not so hot. This is beta ? then why did it show up in my regular account? I looked at afterwards things got screwy and was pretty angry at you for while because I got blank html/css, and it looked like my website got wiped out. Only after a nail betting close and login back in did it seem to be normal. Makes me very nervous about anything you add now. There should be some way of locking in a reset to previous state in case what you guys really screws things up.

07/22/2010 11:38pm

@Mike Shivar:

We're absolutely working on that! We just needed to get the basics out the door first, and will be releasing more improvements in this direction in the near future.

07/23/2010 4:50am

Just what I've been waiting for!

Peter
07/23/2010 6:57am

Tony, I've had the same experience; in the end ended up re-adding the banner image. Why is this happening on regular accounts when it's beta?

07/23/2010 7:34am

Thank you, Very nice addition, anytime you can make quick edits without having to use other software programs will simplify and speed up the process!

Any idea of when the possibility to add custom logos to the Header might happen?

07/23/2010 10:45am

Man, weebly is solving all my problems and helping to make my website the best it can be.

07/23/2010 1:20pm

THANK YOU!!!!! But ya it did screw up my website and had to redo it ... No big deal.. just would like a heads up 1st.. Some kind of email before an update will do... Thanks Again... You guys Rock!

Jessica
07/23/2010 1:30pm

This is great! It would be even better if it were coded with a bit of javascript so I could add more than one image and have it rotate between them. Or, if I could drop a swf in there. Keep up the great work!

07/23/2010 2:43pm

Its a great feature BUT
I made my banner bigger than the default and it used to work fine with old way.

Now Half of my banner has this black fade on it. Looks really bad.
Please fix it
www.pharohmusic.com

07/23/2010 4:14pm

@Heval Kelli:

Thanks for letting us know about that issue. We've fixed it now, so it shouldn't be a problem anymore.

Thanks!

mhdoctor
07/23/2010 5:01pm

Does the text get inserted onto the page as H tags, or is it all rolled into the image when published. Think SEO.

07/23/2010 5:33pm

This is why I LOVE weebly. New feature looks just great on my site. Many thanks!

07/23/2010 8:05pm

This new feature is great. I love it.

littlebeauty
07/24/2010 1:21am

I love this new feature! But it's a pity that cant type Chinese in the text box. Will you improve this in the future? Thanks for all your hard work.

07/24/2010 2:06am

That's Nice Tool!
We Don't Need Adobe Photoshop Now!

07/24/2010 5:56am

Hello Weebly, great news, but i have a question, maybe use in header image flash banner?

07/24/2010 7:03am

This is exactly what I've been waiting for!

07/24/2010 7:29am

My header images disappeared from all my sites. I've since put all of them back. I know you're working on the header image tools but please be careful, thanks!

07/24/2010 8:12am

I am having a loading problem. The picture looks great, but now it gets to 94% and just says loading. I now can not add any new content to my website or navigate the pages. I have filled out a service request. I am running windows 7

07/24/2010 8:25am

Wow this is great! Im so excited to try this new header image. You're awesome, weebly.





07/24/2010 9:45am

Weebly is the best thing.
This new tool is so great but I had a minor problem.

I post it the comment and hours later they fixed it.

God bless you guys
You are the best of the best.
Every human should make a website with weebly

07/24/2010 1:36pm

Can you add multiple images per header? Basically I want to add an image or a link on the header so that my users can visit the Spanish language version of my site?

07/24/2010 2:24pm

Wow I love the new header image tool.. You have really made this so easy..

07/24/2010 3:14pm

score!

ok, this is pretty sweet. i can't wait to get to play around with a ton of different banners.

thanks guys!

-D

07/24/2010 3:21pm

i love this now i can change the name on every page!!!!

07/25/2010 4:56am

This is great but I would like to be able to remove the header all together from certain pages along with the menu bar.

Emma
07/25/2010 8:01pm

I love you. I just love you guys.

07/25/2010 8:28pm

This is a good feature

07/25/2010 9:52pm

It sure would be nice to know when the LATEST beta was updated with fixes, sometimes I try things TOO early and get messed up (like I'm suppose to be a tester?) I will come back to beta if I KNOW things have at least been worked on or fixed.... i.e. WE NEED MORE BLUE BACKGROUND MESSAGES FROM WEEBLY, p l e a s e ...

Scott

07/26/2010 2:50am

Brilliant, all we need now is some flash capabilities and this is THE best site builder on the net

Anand
07/26/2010 3:58am

I tired it and its awesome, the fonts list is great, and the image efects are cool.

07/26/2010 10:18am

Great idea! Love the new feature..keep em coming!

07/26/2010 10:57am

I am not a full out member here yet. kind of just started...
I just wanted to say this is one of the best site features I have seen.

D
07/26/2010 1:26pm

Please Weebly add an option to have a transparency background to fit with my PNG headers. Please :)

Thanks!

07/26/2010 5:29pm

QUESTION

ok, so when i first started trying out the new header update, i was totally excited. still am, don't get me wrong.

but i've noticed that transparencies don't seem to register anymore. for me at least, that's a problem. most of my banners look best when i can utilize transparencies.

is there something that needs to be turned on, or somehow that i can work around that without having to redo my banners?

-D

07/26/2010 5:30pm

Great idea, saves some time if you want to change small things fast. Now I can use this text on image function instead of changing it in photoshop all the time. :)

07/27/2010 9:31pm

Hello! I'm sure you know this, but changing a design option, such as the color of paragraph text, negates any changes you have made to the header image. That is, the header image reverts to the default if you change a design option.

Also, one suggestion is to include the option to center text.

Loving the feature! Keep working it!

07/27/2010 9:43pm

P.S. Would love to be able to control the height of the header image. :)

What an Improvement. I have about 15 websites and now I can enhance their appearance.

07/28/2010 6:38am

Yay upgrading to Weebly pro was the best buy i've ever made on hosting! :) So easy and proffesional! :O

cherie
07/28/2010 7:42am

Dear Weebly Team,

Cool features!

How about making it a clickable header so I can place my logo as well as an banner advertisement within!!

07/28/2010 8:00am

always a fan of Weebly.

07/28/2010 8:19am

Brilliant! You've made it possible for the artist to take their designs and manipulate their own website. It has taken me years of research to find you. You deserve the awards you are winning.
Bravo

07/28/2010 12:04pm

FANTASTIC! I'm planning on switching up my theme soon and this will be SO nice!!

07/28/2010 2:21pm

Really cool feature. I am translating in Spanish (from french) the content... would it be possible to put an hypertext link on a image or text of the header? Spanish/French for example?

07/28/2010 7:22pm

It would be great to have flash with the header so the pics can change periodically.

07/29/2010 1:56am

Thats great news, keep up the good work

07/29/2010 6:47am

cool, lookign forward to having a play with this feature. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT CUSTOMISING THE BLOG FEATURE! comments link NEEDS to be moved under the actual entry not above

07/29/2010 11:12am

hey pretty cool i am trying to get my mom to get me a blog..... SO COOL!!!!!!

07/29/2010 12:22pm

LOVE IT!! This was one of my greatest frustrations in beginning with Weebly, trying to get the look that I NOW HAVE! Thank you!!! My site looks so much more professional!

07/29/2010 5:13pm

Nice new features!!! It took a few tricks for me to figure out how to get rid of the Page Header text that I originally had with the design. Also, another trick was to create one page header design that I liked, the add that to copy to EVERY page in order to keep the design features (font, size, etc.) and THEN go to each individual page to update the heading text for that page.

REQUEST: Can you please allow us to change the font & size of the page tabs??? Some older clients have commented that they are hard to read being so small and in white. Am I missing something here? Thank you!!!

liz
07/29/2010 9:27pm

When will we be able to use the new themes that were in the contest. It seems like I have been waiting for ever...

Jayne
07/29/2010 9:27pm

Well done Weebly - This added customisation will make our webistes so much better. Thank you! You ROCK!

07/30/2010 3:11am

Hey Weebly,

I've been checking out this new photo banner feature. Fantastic job! I don't know how you guys keep coming up with this stuff, but thanks! I can't wait to see what's next!

Muqtasid Mansoor
07/30/2010 7:18am

Hello, these new features are great but I do have one thing you could add, the favicon is only available to pro users, I think it would be an excelent idea to put it in for no pro users of weebly beta! Keep improving.
Regards,
Muqtasid Mansoor

07/30/2010 10:32am

can I use SWF files in the header now?

Doug
07/30/2010 11:30am

The new features are excellent. I am glad I found out about Weebly. It makes managing web designs extremely easy.

07/30/2010 4:46pm

This is awesome, though there is one bug that I am reporting where it should be, and I will also say it here. When I upload GIF images, the animations won't work. They have worked on other sites before the new system for headers, but it isn't working now on another site. Please fix it. But good job on this, anyways. It is a very good idea. P.S. The site I am working on is for a friend of mine.

07/31/2010 10:47am

This feature rocks,i always wanted this,
weebly had make it true.Thank you weebly team for making this!!!!

07/31/2010 10:58am

unfortunately, i'm one (of many?) people who has an accent on their name. i can't write my special s in lithuanian: it looks like this - Š. But, it does not work in these banners.

PLEASE please fix this - otherwise it is quite awesome.

(i'm sure a million other people out there are struggling with this, too.)

Lisa Thiedeman
07/31/2010 7:31pm

Fantastic option! I love it! It doesn't load though. I've been waiting for 20 minutes for the loading to be complete, but it hasn't happened as yet. Am I doing something wrong?

08/01/2010 1:55am

Love the new banner feature!!! Thank you so much.

08/01/2010 7:07pm

Do you need weebly pro for this feature to work?

08/02/2010 5:17am

I love this feature! Can't wait to play some more with it.

08/02/2010 8:35am

Love it! I created new headers that really make the pages pop.

roberta
08/02/2010 4:55pm

I am trying to use this and the old header remains - what am I doing wrong here?
Anyone????

08/03/2010 7:45am

I love the additions to the header section! Thank you!

Jen
08/03/2010 11:01am

Good Post! I learned a lot!

08/03/2010 8:28pm

I've always liked weebly. It's always been an easy interface to use and there's always been a great range of templates. But the header image has been something that frustrated me and I'm glad to see this change.

Shaleen
08/04/2010 9:16pm

This is really a cool feature. Weebly is the Best!!!

08/04/2010 9:49pm

It would be great to be able to put google translation in the footer. Why try to invent the wheel?

I logged into beta (using link provided by Weebly) followed the instructions (to the letter) I did not have the new Image Perfect editing on my Weebly website.

May I ask why. I may be helpful if you could start one step before the first step on this page. I may be missing the orginal steps.

What about the issue with uploading a PNG file as Derrick mentioned in his 21 July post? It seems to upload the file then site there with the scrolling "Loading" banner. I like the tool.

Nice feature, except how about transparent images on a transparent background?

08/20/2010 6:01am

If you want a transparant background for your header, try this hack. In the HTML, change the class name to be just "header" (instead of "weebly-header":

<div class="header"></div>

do the same in the CSS. This is how mine looks:

.header {
background:transparent url(logo.png) no-repeat center top;
float:left;
width:960px;
height:150px;
background-color: transparent;
}

Then delete the image from the beta page of course.

I am trying to put a different header on each page. It will let me have a different one on the first page and then the same one on every other page no matter what I do.

it's perfect!

how do you enter a text in the text bar that comes up when you click add image?

08/24/2010 2:02am

These are some great themes! Weebly has put together lots of easy to use tools here. I love it!

08/31/2010 9:35pm

i will try to use it, thanks for sharing.

You can also add text into the image and all sorts of cool effects. To top it off, each page of your site can have its own header image.

Such an improvement to my site!! Thanks Weebly.

09/09/2010 12:09am

This sounds a fantastic improvement. Way to go! Can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve.

09/09/2010 12:10am
