Canva is an online design tool based in Sydney. It launched in 2013 and reports more than 220 million monthly active users. Its website builder is part of the same tool: it turns a design into a live web page, using the same templates, fonts and drag-and-drop editing as any other Canva design.

The builder works the way Canva does. A site starts from a template, images and text are moved and edited by dragging them into place, and the result is published as a single page or as a site of several pages, with a home page, a page presenting services and a contact page. A free account publishes up to five live sites on a my.canva.site address, with a "Designed with Canva" footer; a custom domain, unlimited sites and publishing without the footer come with the paid plans.

## What Canva's website builder does

- **Website templates**, to start from a ready-made design rather than a blank page.
- **Drag-and-drop editing** of images and text, with Canva's own fonts.
- **One page or several**: a single-page site, or a multi-page site with a home page, a services page and a contact page.
- **Free publishing** on a my.canva.site address, for up to five live sites.
- **Custom domains**: an existing domain can be connected with Canva Pro or Canva Teams.
- **Team editing**: several people can work on the same site together.

## How it works

The path from a design to a live site has four steps:

1. **Pick a template** among Canva's website designs.
2. **Edit it** by dragging images and text into place and changing fonts, as in any Canva design.
3. **Add pages** when one is not enough: a home page, a services page, a contact page.
4. **Publish** on a free my.canva.site address, or on an existing domain with Canva Pro or Canva Teams.

## What each plan includes

Website publishing follows Canva's plans:

- **Canva Free**: up to five live sites on a my.canva.site address; each published site shows a "Designed with Canva" footer at the bottom.
- **Canva Pro**: publishing without the footer, unlimited sites and the connection of an existing custom domain.
- **Canva Teams**: custom domains and unlimited sites, as with Pro, in the plan built for teams.

## Who it suits

Canva's builder is the quickest route for someone who already designs in Canva and wants a one-page site, an event page or a portfolio online in an afternoon. A site that needs its own domain, or a sixth live site, calls for Canva Pro or Canva Teams.

## Frequently asked questions

**Can a Canva site use its own domain?** Yes, with Canva Pro or Canva Teams, which let an existing custom domain be connected to a Canva site.

**How is a site published without the "Designed with Canva" footer?** Publishing without the footer is available from Canva Pro upwards.

**Can a Canva website have several pages?** Yes: from a one-page site to a multi-page site with a home page, a services page and a contact page.
