CANVA WEBSITES in 2023: Pros & Cons

[@vittorianesse]

I scooter past Canva’s office on my way to the hardware store and always salute. This Australian company keeps a roof over my head!

[@billievanderpol]

im aussie and have been using canva since since year 7 in 2016, i never knew it was aussie i always thought it was chinese 😭

[@makoshark69x96]

YOUR FACIAL EXPRESSIONS ARE GREAT TO WATCH.... YOU ARE FUN TO LISTEN TO....

[@TeeJMercer]

This was so helpful and thrilled to see a faith-based company to help me. What a great niche.

[@arielbrown]

Yes I am going to use Canva Websites they are cost-effective for start-up companies that I work with in my business

[@fruitloops68]

Great recap! ✨1 HUGE con / drawback of Canva websites is that they do not have option to put an accessibility button ( for disabled people) . I have emailed Canva many times asking to add that button, but no luck ...😢

[@Digivangelism]

True that! They do have an "alternative text" option for screen readers. So they are on the right path.

[@zainuddinbrahim4625]

will be doing with Canva for my resume soon

[@TotallyCluelessTV]

Excellent video, I'm designing my first website now and super excited and your video appeared on their tutorial page so I clicked and here I am, everything seems easy to understand but there's one thing Canva doesn't mention is the Privacy Policy and Terms & Condition's which is important and required by law, so my question is to you is how do I write it all out correctly ?

[@iamneverwrong6635]

Your Canva videos are my fave because of all the info you give - quickly- get in and get out! I love it

[@Digivangelism]

Thanks so much!!

[@RobinDeeter]

I'm an author and I plan on using free Canva websites for my pen names at least starting out. Love this video and look forward to more Canva related content from you!

[@SteveInQLD007]

You've just answered a question I couldn't find the answer to anywhere else - thank you so much and the change has made all the difference to my websites - literally took me 2 seconds to make the simple adjustment and BAM! - worked like a charm!!

[@Digivangelism]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS you are why we do this. TYSM for commenting :)

[@SteveInQLD007]

I don't know why I didn't work it out myself actually as I do it all the time on my regular design projects but all it was was when I viewed some of my websites in mobile mode, some of the elements would be all over the place on the screen but as soon as I grouped related elements, bingo bango, they were all in order and in the right location - problem solved! Thanks again! 👍

[@aleciahall1471]

I just completed my Canva website with multiples pages. I have like 5 tabs on the menu and they have their separate page. What I do is create the pages like a seperate design and ensure that o keep the same menu at the top. After that the main home page I go back and link the tabs to those individual pages I have design. So I don’t have everything on one single scrolling page.

[@stizzy76]

I think you saved me. I love you. you are my hero today.

[@Marlijn-lx6ik]

I use Canva for my website, but I am struggling with several thing. I am all in with your 'not so mobile friendly' issues. I will try the grouping! Hopefully that will fix things. I have soms questions for yout.1. I see you have the menu banners with a hamburger menu. How did you create this? 2. I have SEO issues, get messages my pages are blocked in search engines, while they are not blocked. Any tips how to get this issue fixed? 3. Is there a way to access the back of the site, to add Google Analitics information? I love this video and will definately follow you and look more of your video's!

[@DebbieCWellness]

to add the hamburger menu at the top right, just name your pages, and then the menu will create itself using the names you provided for each page, it then scrolls down to that page

[@sumopulp]

Is there any option of removing the designed with Canva branding at the footer of the page ???

[@handygroesse]

Amazing thank you! Would LOVE to hear an updated version! 😍

How do you add the multiple page site? I would like to have drop downs in my menu that takes my viewers to different categories and then the individual blog posts

[@Digivangelism]

Canva does not yet support true "multiple" pages like other platforms. Hopefully it's on their road map for enhancements.

[@dougholtz730]

[@gregwyna6342]

3:28 eight newer features now allow you to 3:30 simulate a multiple page website with 3:32 menu bars at the top that will either 3:34 scroll down to that particular content 3:36 or the ability to link additional Pages

[@Herschel2566]

[@danielleacnespecialist6137]

This is a great review!

[@perfumetherapie]

The biggest downside I can see for actual businesses wanting a website is that it’s reliant upon Canva and isn’t self-hosted, like a Wordpress website would be. Using Canva for a website is probably good for hobbyists but still not ideal for a business.

[@andrewmensahjr]

Would you say Canva is a good start to creating a landing/holding page whilst designing a fully fledged website? And can I use a domain I currently have, and then transfer it once I have created my website?

[@iamneverwrong6635]

Do you mean like, say if Canva goes down or something? 😬

[@Digivangelism]

Hello there! We recently released a video that explains the best uses for a Canva website. It really depends on what your business intention is -- if its e-commerce based, Canva is most definitely not the best choice. If its more informational, marketing oriented, then Canva is a better option. As for "needing" to learn how to code...hmm...lots of debate around that as well with the popularity of AI. As someone who started out as a programmer many years ago, I am glad I did, as it gave me a good foundation of programming concepts. Knowledge never hurts! Good luck! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sISkcnSAnKaLkLc

[@Digivangelism]

Hi there and thanks for watching. Canva website is a good start for a "placeholder" or landing page to get your domain out there and visiblity to your site. You won't be able to transfer or migrate in the technical sense, but you can eventually create a WP site to mimic what you have created in Canva. Join us in the Hub if you'd like more help!

[@kristiechiles]

Love this ! Thank you!

[@Digivangelism]

Thanks for watching!

[@NimittsU.]

Absolutely great video, my only small suggestion would be to improve the mic quality or get a mic closer to your mouth so there is less resonance in the audio. Besides that, SUPER helpful video!

[@Videsivibes]

surprised with your knowledge and the style of explaining . You will go far .. Keep educating

[@Ovrtimeofficial]

When I launch the website it does two things. 1. The launch would look different than the edited version and would default back to editing when I tried to test out the website. 2. When I created a link It would require me to give access to each person to not just view the website but giving access to also edit. I can’t figure out how to share a website via link without these problems.

[@MasteringPM]

Love your video

[@Dispatch-e8x]

Good job explaining!

[@Ahmad-yr5jp]

thank you for the detailed video. if your pro account with canva expires will canva still host your existing website ? without making any changes??

[@laurathemajorcan]

Girl, you are absolutely adorable!

[@rnrn-dh4ur]

Hi, may I know how do you create sub webpages like at 3:32? Thanks!

[@petzcareindia]

I don't think it's possible...it is a scroll website...they treat sections has pages. So everything is on one page. Just scroll it. You can hide anything and made visible only on clicking like privacy policy or terms and conditions. It interface is meant for small business owners who just want some presence. The mobile editor sucks. Had a horid time adjusting the layout on desktop to get elements comprimised for mobile view. I have not seen on the tablet though. I don't know if it takes feedback forms?

[@Fiene2808]

Great Video! How did you create the drop down in #8 pro? I would love to use that on my site I am currently building :)

@fiene2808 subpages and dropdown menu are not available yet. I think the example shown in the video was from their WordPress website?

[@dipakthapakd]

@@LiamG458yes exactly sub page not available on Canva app actually she misleading in this regard

[@VicariousVue]

3:28 - I can't find how to do this anywhere! How to link additional pages for the navigation bar as a drop down menu? The "Let's Go" call to action button also looks custom, along with the color / font of the text!

[@Digivangelism]

You can add fonts to Canva! And choose your colors, of course. We just filmed our multipage workaround video so that will be coming soon, but there's no drop down capability currently in Canva!

[@babygrandadplays]

Realy insightful info I love the video. Straight talk no baiting, jus real deal info. One thing i want to know is, are we allowed to make a design, publish it then go to the source code to add and remove what we need/don't need to then publish it else where and add the missing funtionalities? Or is that outside the terms and conditions?

[@MelDuchesne]

I've tried it and unfortunately, it doesn't work

[@babygrandadplays]

@MelDuchesne thank you so much for taking the time to try it out and coming back. I appreciate your efforts

[@parizatbintakabir1780]

[@EleutheriaPhotography]

Hi! How are you adding multiple links to the Navi menu?

[@personalbrandcreativedirector]

Every new section you add to the site can be labeled and that creates the nav name/link. Or what I like to do is create text words for my nav links and just hyperlink them.

How do you do Pro#8? I don't see any way to create a dropdown menu in canva or to link other pages. Thanks

[@mikamik205]

Awesome video! Thanks! I’m trying to sell digital products, blog etc & may use canva for a landing page only & migrate to readymag or wix. What do you think of those two? I’d love your input!

[@Digivangelism]

Thanks for watching! As we like to advise, begin with the end in mind; what are you goals, what do you need the webpage to do? Don't overthink it. We're not familiar with readymag. Wix is a solid platform; if that fulfills your needs, go for it. Tools and platforms are getting easier to use and more flexible which only benefits us, the end users.

[@mikdabuilder9398]

Hi am i able to insert links to docs and websites on a canva website? This is great!!

[@martinedavis1]

I'm still learning but I managed to create a website, the only thing I couldn't figure out was how to hide the "Terms and Conditions" policy. I added a hyperlink and attached the page but you are still able to see the page at the end of the website. Can you "hide" this page? I tried the actural "hide" page option but then the link didn't work.

[@Digivangelism]

Way to go on figuring all that out. TBH, I'm not sure why you want to hide the T&C page? Why include it at all? We might be missing something...?

[@parwindersingh84]

How to embed other web pages as drop down in canvas?

[@williammatovu6570]

can i add videos to my canva site and even embed links from other sites and adding documents as well and creating great gallery?

We love a good workaround!!

[@rubberduckie91]

So I already have an existing domain and I know that if I create a Canva website and connect an existing domain then I have to pay for Canva Pro to do that...I'm wondering what will happen if I publish my website and then just cancel the Canva Pro subscription immediately after...will my website remain live and fully functional or does it go blank or what?

Thank you! 👍🏻

[@Digivangelism]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@larryshaheem1399]

which website creator is the best for creating many sites in one premium

[@Digivangelism]

Hi there! going to "assume" by premium you mean a paid for tool? We're inclined to answer with -"it depends" - depends on your goals, your level of technical experience, whether or not you will be maintaining the sites going forward or handing off to clients. There are things to consider first before choosing a tool. That being said, "best" is a matter of opinion. Our go to platform outside of Canva is Wordpress w/Elementor Pro page builder. We've used others over the years and settled on Elementor. It's come a long way and continues to improve.

[@ensenoloqueaprendo]

Is the multipage website a feature of canva or an app ?

[@alianmolzaidi1351]

Once a Canva website is published to Google, is it possible to make any further changes to it or delete the website?

[@Digivangelism]

Hi there! In order to Unpublish the website, you must have first published it as some point. Then when you enter EDIT mode, you will get the option to "Unpublish Website". You can also get to these settings AND delete the domain entirely by navigating to Account Settings -> Domain. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

[@aaronthespeaker]

[@Salamandra_2024]

Can you tell me how many domain names canva will let you host on the teams or enterprise plan? i have pro and its 5 as you mentioned, but i want to design websites and host them on canva for clients. I am trained in wordpress (and actually hand coding) but I love canva websites builder and can produce such a nice website in a couple days that i can offer them for a fraction of the cost to clients (and since i live in mexico this is a total must - you just are not paid CAD/USD wages here)

[@arshee98]

Such a good video! I do have one question though. What if I want the source code for the canva website? I would love to know if we can get the source code and edit it.

[@Digivangelism]

Hello there - according to the help bot in Canva, they don't provide the source code for websites created on its platform. :(

[@amybennison]

One of the most frustrating cons I am finding with Canva websites is resizing. They're websites are landscape and not portrait. When you try to resize-even when you select this design, it turns your website into a design and not a functioning website. Have you figured this out?

[@Digivangelism]

Have ya tried grouping? We have a vid on struggling through that somewhere. But end result = grouping.

[@NintCondition]

Please help, how do you make a multiple page website that have menu bars to scroll to that page on the website?? 🙏🏻

[@Digivangelism]

Hi there -- you do this in canva by creating and naming your multiple pages. When you go to PUBLISH, you will be prompted on whether you want to include Menu Navigation or not. Hope that helps!

[@Herschel2566]

There’s no videos that I can find anywhere that show how to make a menu drop down for linking other pages like shown in tip 8. That’s different from the basic navigation bar setting.

[@pranoymehra2150]

Can we create multiple pages? Pages as in different page not sections.

[@Digivangelism]

Did our Hamburger menu vid help with that?

[@lalelale9172]

Thank you - How can I make my canva website bilingual? I don't need the AI translator

[@Digivangelism]

Great question! With your design in Edit mode, right click on a text element, bottom of options list is "Translate Text". This brings up a sidebar with options for language, whether to translate specific text elements or the entire page. You have the option to apply to all pages or select pages. When ready, click on Translate. Note that Settings tab. It is defaulted to make COPIES of your pages and translate all selected. So if you have 5 pages in English and select all to be translated, you will then end up with 10 pages, 5 in English, 5 in Spanish, for eg. You can reorder them so all Spanish is first, then English, then publish with Navigation menus. Seems you will have to manually translate page titles. Hope that helps! Team Digi

[@RoiterAmigacho]

[@NessuhBabe]

So I wanted to use it for my business, and from what I understood, people won’t be able to buy from the website I create on Canva right?

[@Digivangelism]

Hi there! It is not impossible, but its not easy. At this time, there is no built in integration with payment systems like Stripe or Square. You would have to use the payment/checkout features in Stripe or Square to set up products, create a payment link and add that link to a button on the canva website. This video demos that process: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXqqZYN5bpZ-ors

If any further changes need to be made to the Canva website after it has been published, how can those changes be made later?

[@jaceymartin4739]

Thanks! I want to start a portfolio, linking my learning platforms on my site. IS that possible?

[@Digivangelism]

Hi there! What we think you're asking is, can a Canva website be used as a "hub" of sorts, from which other sites (non Canva) can be launched? If we got that right, then absolutely yes. After your home or landing page is designed, you would just need to add external links to a graphic or text or photo, taking the visitor to the learning platform.

you could make it a separate page and then you'd only get there when clicked. But def not the BEST fit for larger companies!
