3.3 WEBSITE DESIGNING

In the part of designing it depends on how creative you are and how eager you are to
explore everything in Weebly. Now in adding designs simply use the elements and other medias.
Use the drag and drop mechanism.

Drag and drop is a common way to move, select, or open files by clicking and dragging
your mouse. You can also use drag and drop to transfer data between applications or within an
application using a standard gesture. For example, you can drag and drop an image from a
folder to an email, or drag and drop text from a document to a web browser.

To drag and drop something, you need to do the following steps:

1. Select the item or text that you want to drag by clicking and holding the left mouse
button on it.

2. Move the mouse cursor to the location or application where you want to drop the item
or text, while still holding the left mouse button.

3. Release the left mouse button to drop the item or text at the desired location or
application.

Some applications may have different ways to enable or handle drag and drop, so you
may need to check their specific instructions or settings.

Reminder: Always have your page on the build page.
