How to Change the Background on iWeb

You can modify the background color or add an image to the background on an iWeb page.

Apple’s iWeb is a template-based Web design program. When you open the program and create your website, you choose a template that includes text and graphic layouts and background images or colors on the various Web pages of the template. If you do not like the background of the template or if you want to customize your site so it doesn’t look like every other iWeb site using the template, you can change the background color or add your own image.

Instructions

1. Open iWeb. Click a template from the list to select it, then click a page thumbnail in the main window and click Choose.

2. Click the page in the sidebar to highlight it. Click the "Inspector" button in the toolbar, click the "Page" button and then click Layout.

3. Choose Color Fill from the Page Background drop-down menu and then click the color box below the menu. Choose a color for the page background. Choose Image Fill from the drop-down menu and navigate to a picture on your hard drive. Double-click the picture to make it the page background.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also create a gradient fill or a tinted image fill in the Page Background drop-down menu.
