​​A State-Of-The-Art Weebly Magazine Theme

What is Solar?

​We wanted to build a theme that would carry features and capabilities the Weebly community didn't think was possible. So stand back and get ready to experience and learn about one really cool Weebly theme.

Let's say you have a blog. You write a lot, have a few different categories, but want the style of your theme to be more modern and magazine-like. Well, Solar can pickup that tab! Solar will take your latest posts and automatically organize them into a clean and trendy magazine layout.

We're not done! Solar will additionally do the same for 3 categories of your blog, and all without touching a single line of code.
