Add a New Page in Weebly
Weebly is unavailable on new Shared (SW) accounts; however, WordPress is an excellent alternative to these builders. The instructions on how to install WordPress are discussed in the article: How to Install WordPress With Softaculous.
To confirm if you are on a new Shared (SW) package, please see this article, How to Tell if You Are on a New or Legacy Hosting Package, for more information.
In addition to adding a page to your site in Weebly, you can also modify page settings and navigation. To get started, open the Pages tab!

How to Modify Page Navigation
Move Pages
To move a page or subpage:
- Select the page you want to move by clicking it from the list.
- Drag and drop the selected page to the preferred location in your Pages list.
- You can reorder your pages and subpages by clicking and dragging them up and down the Pages list.
Hide Page from Navigation
In addition to reordering your page navigation, you can also hide a page from the website visitors' view. Please note that taking this action only means that the page will not show up on your site's navigation menu. The page is still live, and you can still create a link to redirect customers to that page.
To hide a page:
- Select the page you wish to hide from public view.
- From the Page section on the left-hand side, check the box for Hide in navigation located just below the page name.
