Things are the same with free themes by Weebly. If you want to change color scheme, logo size, etc. You must make changes in the code too. Basic layouts and features of our themes work just like themes by Weebly. DIXIE Plus is a special one because Weebly doesn't support one-page themes at the moment. So you must edit page/section name in the code. As quick refresher (if you need it), a one page smooth scrolling navigation is a website that has only one page - the homepage. With this type of website, all of the content found on the website is normally found on the homepage.
Any time we build a website, modern website design calls for having a responsive theme for that website. Making your website responsive ensures that it is view-able on any device that is used to visit your website. So, if your visitor visits on an ipad, droid, or pc they will be able to interact with your website and make purchases from these devices.
Weebly has made a great effort for making its stock themes responsive with a modern design. This allows for every Weebly user to easily integrate a Weebly responsive theme, but currently there are only a handful of responsive themes that make our pick for top five. These responsive themes come from Weebly itself and from a few third party developers.

When talking about building websites, the first platform that comes to our mind is WordPress. However, it requires a little bit of a learning curve and some technical knowledge in order to setup a website with WordPress.

All this can be a little too overwhelming for someone without any web development experience. For those people, Weebly can be an excellent alternative for easily building websites without any technical experience.
