Hey I just gave up building my website on Wordpress and started making it on Canva instead, starting from the free template that you have put here. I am watching this video over and over to make sure I do it correctly 😅 So far I am only struggling with responsiveness for mobile!
oh god yeah WordPress can take months haha. Squarespace is a nice middle ground between the two but yeah Canva's functionality is pretty great now. I agree, the mobile responsiveness is still a little tricky but try to just make enough space between the elements you want to stack and that seems to do the trick for me a lot of the time!! 😊 Can't wait to see what you create Massimiliano!
@@Maggie-Stara Yes I am actually trying to stack elements on Canva so it doesn't mess up from mobile! I didn't think about Squarespace, thank you for the hint! I am also considering Strikingly since I only need a one page website for now. Anyways, I will let you know when my creation is done so you can see how terrible my designing skills are 🤣
@@massimilianobellini9902 oh yes Strikingly is a great option in that case as well! And of course I'm looking forward to checking it out once it's done!! 😍
I'm so happy to hear that Rishabh!! I'll do my best to live up to the expectations over here then hehe 😉 and if you ever have any questions or want some other channel recommendations to follow don't hesitate to let me know!! I'm always happy to help 😊
@@Maggie-Stara He he! No pressure da! It'll take a while for me to catch up on all your courses on Skill Share. You've covered everything one needs to know to get started - it's quite exhaustive set of courses! It's just too good - I learn one thing and then get lost in practicing it. Taking my own sweet time, let's see where I end up :D
@Rishabh Aggarwal well it sounds like you're doing everything right!! That's definitely my preferred way of learning and I love to hear that my students are doing it too! There's nothing worse than getting to the end of a long course not having practiced anything and then you have no muscle memory for the skills in your head. So take your time, and of course feel free to chat to me in any of the Discussions sections of my courses if you have any questions along the way or just to share what you're working on! I'm always happy to see it 😍
Thank you so much for this video. I struggled all last weekend to make a website for my podcast. Now I can sit down with this how to and make some great edits. ❤
Thank you for the amazing video 😄 Can you please check the template link. I tried many times but I am unable to use it. I think there is a problem in the link.

@@vihaanpokharna5813 ooooh that could be a long tutorial haha but it's a good idea thank you!

Such a helpful video!! Thanks. I've had a good experiment on a draft Canva website page. I'm sure I'll be watching your other tutorials as well. Now I can confidently ditch my old Weebly site, create my Canva page and add my domain - Yay!!
yaaas I love that Catherine! I was never a huge fan of Weebly myself either 😅. Wix has definitely stepped up their game though so if you ever need a more complex site than what Canva can do, it's worth exploring. But for simpler sites I think Canva is just brilliant 😍
@@Maggie-Stara Yes, but just a landing page for now. Canva is amazing, but there's still a long way to go when it comes to website building. Hopefully they'll add a few more features this year :D
ahh I'm so happy to hear that you liked the video Simone! 🥰 and thank you for subscribing! I'm very lucky to have such kind subscribers on my channel 💜
mmm interesting can you send me a link to the course?

Thanks so much in advance!
Hey Maggie! FANTASTIC VIDEO! I love Canva. Quick question: did you check the speed to see how quickly the website would load with all the video, gifs and form added? If so, how many seconds did it take to load? I think 4 seconds should be the max, but I'm curious to know if you tested it or not? Thanks! 🙂
Great question - so this doesn't actually load as a website. It lands like a landing page or PDF as it's not technically a real website. Or rather it loads as Canva's website I should say. So it loads quicker as a result. But yes it's something to keep an eye on the more things that are added. I've found it to be much speedier than if I was to add all of this into a wordpress site though!
so happy you found it helpful! Yes this is a much prettier option that Google forms! 🥳 But I still think Google forms are great and super simple to set up which is a bit bonus in my books so whatever works for you is great 😊
whaaaa!! That seems weird. I would contact Canva support if you think you're missing some key features because that could be a tech bug. Their support team is fab :-)
Hi Maggie, thank you for this insightful vlog. This website creation content is really going to help me start small and work my way up. I'm just curious to know how you incorporate your domain into a Canva website? Will my domain be supported? I'm sorry if this sounds a bit silly. I'm just really overwhelmed and WordPress isn't any easier to understand either.
Doesn't sound silly at all! And oh my goodness don't I know it 😅 WordPress is SO overwhelming for sure. The easiest thing is to check out Canva's own resources like this one here on how to add your own domain into a Canva website: www.canva.com/en_au/help/publishing-websites-own-domains/ but also if you're still having any issues you can reach out to support@canva.com and they'll be able to help you out! Let me know if that helps ❤
Hi. I just want to say that you are a great teacher. I just want to ask if your graphic design masterclass in skill share and udemy is just same content? Im trying to decide if i will settle on skill share or buy the course in udemy. Thank u
Hi there - first of all thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words ❤ as for my course - yes that particular course is the exact same on both platforms. The main difference is that with a Skillshare membership you get access to all 10 of my courses plus about 30k more from other instructors. Whereas with Udemy you have to pay for each one individually and I don’t have all of my content on there as some is exclusive to Skillshare. But it’s 100% personal preference… both platforms are fantastic and I keep content updated on both and am available to answer questions and give feedback on both as well. Let me know if you’ll have any other questions I can assist with ❤
Great question - so these wouldn't be going to a newsletter unless you went through something like Zapier which would add them from Typeform into your email marketing tool. Otherwise it would just go straight to your inbox as a lead.
You're right Canva's affiliate links have been playing up for the past 48 hours and they can't seem to get it working. You can use this link instead and that'll work: livingtoroam.com/canva-website sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for watching!
Caveat is the free one I use within Canva for the thumbnail here, but I also use Audrey which is a purchased font that I have for my brand so I'm not sure which one you mean but that's both of them!
so happy I could help 😊 you can create a website with Canva for free using the Canva domain. But you can also connect your own custom domain if you'd like if you already have a domain of your own: www.canva.com/en_au/help/publishing-websites-own-domains/ or you can purchase one through Canva www.canva.com/en_au/help/publishing-websites-purchasing-domains/ I believe it's about $29.99/year so it might be slightly cheaper to go through something like GoDaddy and just connect it within Canva instead.
Ooh great question. As far as I know it's not possible as a Canva website is effectively just a presentation that loads as a landing page. It doesn't have the ability to get plugins or complex code which would allow for a cookie notification. Hopefully this will change in the future but as of right now it's not possible I'm afraid!
Awesome video💯Thank you. Thinking between Canva & Squarespace. Which one would you recommend. I love Canva but think it might miss SEO & analytics functionality. What do you think? Thanks a lot.
Hey Kai - it's a great question and I'm so glad you liked the video! So it depends... if you're just thinking of designing a landing page to embed your existing calendly into that will act as a landing page for people to enquire then Canva is more than enough for something like this. But if you'd like a multi-page website with maybe a blog portion or some more elaborate features then Squarespace is an excellent choice. You're right about the analytics. Canva has some capabilities in this area but it won't be as robust as looking at Google Analytics for example. But from an SEO perspective I can honestly say that unless you publish regular content on a site... it won't have much SEO power no matter where it's hosted unfortunately. Not to mention you can set up a Canva site in 20 mins whereas a Squarespace site will take days if not weeks to get up to the level you want most likely. So if it was me, I would start with a Canva site as an interim solution and then decide whether the upgrade is necessary. Because then if you upgrade - you'll already have your content ready to go... but that's just my opinion! If you do go with Canva btw I would still register your own domain and use that if possible.
@@Maggie-Stara I love it, awesome reply, many thanks indeed🙏I will do as you said, start with Canva and later on, if I see the need upgrade to Squarespace. The thought of building the perfect page was keeping me away from actually doing anything so Canva is indeed a great starting point and also fully agree, that I will link it to my personal domain. Many thanks Maggie and keep up the stellar work you are doing. Cheers.
@@SmartMoneywithKai I've been there!! 😅 it can be overwhelming for sure... and then you have a whole new skill to master which is web design and that is NOT an easy feat. So I think that's a great choice and will definitely make it easier in the long run if you decide to make the switch as well 😊 I'm so glad I could help!
I was looking for this video on how create an email list without using an autoresponder am so glad I had to subscribe love the content and the website is beautiful is candely free to create an email list too? Thanks ❤ alot🥰🥰🥰
Hey Halima - oh I'm so glad it's been helpful! Calendly isn't an email marketing tool unfortunately but I would recommend checking out MailChimp for a great free option!!
haha I have to say, in all my years of teaching online that's the first time anyone has ever said that to me - I love it! Thank you so much 🥰 I'm honoured.
Hi Maggie, thanks for your video. I just did everything right and works perfectly for computer, but when I see my design on my phone, I cant see Calendly well. I just can see the first week of the month and I cant scroll down more... Can you please help me with that? Or does anyone have the same problem? Thanks ;)
Hey Kimberly, ooh I mean technically yes as each blog post could be a separate Canva site and you could just interlink them all. But I would maybe consider something a bit more robust if you'd like to have a blog component as that can get a bit messy I think. Or you could publish any blog content on a free site like Medium or even as LinkedIn Articles!
ooh great question. I would actually put the pictures all into a Canva presentation document and then embed that into your website which will allow people to click to cycle through all the photos. Otherwise if you've got a different tool in mind which maybe has the photos cycling through automatically then you can likely embed that too! :-) but generally this is something that's coded into websites so the presentation-style slideshow may be the best free option.
Unfortunately Canva doesn't support a multi-page site at this stage. But you could create it as 3 separate websites within Canva and just link between them if you'd like. It's more work though of course.
Hey Maggie, great video! Do you think there is a way to create a template or at least single elements for a website on Canva, and then export them and use them to build a website with Wordpress? Or is this just a terrible idea?
Hey Massimiliano - haha no such thing as a terrible idea! I've definitely seen people to this to a certain extent pretty successfully. That goes for like in-line images for opt-ins for example. Where you can create the graphic within Canva and just embed it as an image within WordPress. But anything beyond that would likely not give you the results you want. What theme are you using on WP? If you haven't checked out Divi yet I would give that a go. It's the easiest website builder I've ever worked with and it's a lot more robust than what Canva can do for you. It then also ensures everything is mobile friendly and stacks correctly. Whereas if you export a section from Canva and put it into WordPress as an image it'll likely look ok on desktop but the mobile version will probably struggle 😬
@@Maggie-Stara Thank you for your answer. I am using Astra theme free version and I was planning to install Elementor Pro, since it seems to be even easier to use than Divi and it's also very widespread, I don't know what you think about it
@@massimilianobellini9902 yes Elementor is great 😌 ... similar in terms of user-friendliness to Divi so that's a great option.I would also say that if you'll be using Elementor you probably won't feel the need to use the Canva website option as they're both quite easy to use but Elementor is definitely much more catered to websites than Canva.
Hmm I'm not sure without being able to look into your account sorry. It might be just that the Calendar hasn't been activated yet within Calendly perhaps?
hmm... not quite sure what's not working for you sorry. It's working for me! Make sure you're refreshing your Canva design as that can make things a bit buggy if it's been open for too long.
Hey Steeve - Canva has some timeline graphic templates you can utilise! Or you can create it from scratch as well of course. Here's a handy video on how to make it from scratch: th-cam.com/video/m8gIWvS4UFY/w-d-xo.html
Sorry about that Canva's affiliate links have been playing up for the past 48 hours and they can't seem to get it working. You can use this link instead and that'll work: livingtoroam.com/canva-website sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for watching!
Canva has the WORST customer support by FAR! How can a service so cool like canva lack one of the the most basics of all systems to take itself from great to excellent? I built my canva website over 2 months ago and launched it with an existing domain that I already owned only for them to send an error message after 3 days of trying to verify the domain that said my DNS records couldn't be verified. I went step-by-step with my domain provider (google) who made sure all of the DNS records sent from canva were verified and still NOTHING happened on canva's end. Cool! So I went ahead and scrapped that route and bought a brand new domain from canva to try to relaunch my site, after almost a week of them trying to "verify" their own domain, they sent me the same error message that my site's DNS records couldn't be verified. How and why can't canva verify their own DNS records of a domain that I bought from them? Trying to get support on the canva app is like trying to squeeze water out of a rock - GOODLUCK! However, I found a way to hunt down their support email which God knows they DON"T want anyone to have because... they just don't want to be bothered. Anyways, I emailed them about my frustration and you guest it,,, they won't even respond. Now, I'm way passed the scheduled date of the launch of my website (yes, I was supposed to launch the site to correspond to the 1st year anniversary of our unveiling event) and now that deadline is passed and I'm scrambling to come up with something else to launch the site with but there's no website to launch as canva can't even fucking verify their own domain. opportunity So sorry I had to take my frustration here, just hoping to find someone who might have experienced the same to guide me.
Wow I’m so sorry to hear it’s been such a struggle. But I have to say I’m surprised you’ve found their customer service to be sub-par I’ve felt like they have the best and quickest customer service response of any tool I personally use. You’re right that submitting a ticket isn’t the easiest thing in the world understandably so on their end as otherwise they’d be spammed with questions all day long. But I’ve always gotten a prompt and detailed reply to my questions. So I’m sorry that hasn’t been the case for you! In the interim I would maybe just try to redirect your custom domain to the Canva branded site if it’s already built and ready to go and just the actual domain is buggy. That way you can still provide people with the nice URL and it’ll just redirect to the free Canva branded one until they’re able to help sort it out for you. Could that be a possibility?

The thought of building the perfect page was keeping me away from actually doing anything so Canva is indeed a great starting point and also fully agree, that I will link it to my personal domain. Many thanks Maggie and keep up the stellar work you are doing. Cheers.
@@SmartMoneywithKai I've been there!! 😅 it can be overwhelming for sure... and then you have a whole new skill to master which is web design and that is NOT an easy feat. So I think that's a great choice and will definitely make it easier in the long run if you decide to make the switch as well 😊 I'm so glad I could help!
I was looking for this video on how create an email list without using an autoresponder am so glad I had to subscribe love the content and the website is beautiful is candely free to create an email list too? Thanks ❤ alot🥰🥰🥰
Hey Halima - oh I'm so glad it's been helpful! Calendly isn't an email marketing tool unfortunately but I would recommend checking out MailChimp for a great free option!!
damn you the real MVP!
haha I have to say, in all my years of teaching online that's the first time anyone has ever said that to me - I love it! Thank you so much 🥰 I'm honoured.
Hi Maggie, thanks for your video. I just did everything right and works perfectly for computer, but when I see my design on my phone, I cant see Calendly well. I just can see the first week of the month and I cant scroll down more... Can you please help me with that? Or does anyone have the same problem? Thanks ;)
this is amazing! is there any way you think you could add a blog
Hey Kimberly, ooh I mean technically yes as each blog post could be a separate Canva site and you could just interlink them all. But I would maybe consider something a bit more robust if you'd like to have a blog component as that can get a bit messy I think. Or you could publish any blog content on a free site like Medium or even as LinkedIn Articles!
Thank you for great video! How to imbed sliding pictures to website that was built on Canva?
ooh great question. I would actually put the pictures all into a Canva presentation document and then embed that into your website which will allow people to click to cycle through all the photos. Otherwise if you've got a different tool in mind which maybe has the photos cycling through automatically then you can likely embed that too! :-) but generally this is something that's coded into websites so the presentation-style slideshow may be the best free option.
I want to create a stand alone web pages using Canva. Can i do that, all that I have seen are landing pages with Anchor pages
Hi thank you for the tutorial, i need to know if there like any login and sign form's to embed to canva website
Sorry as in you're trying to make the Canva site password protected? Unfortunately this is not an option at this stage
Can we del website portfolio?
Hi, I have a question, it’s there another way that the pages can be separated instead off after the other one? Like a word press website?
Unfortunately Canva doesn't support a multi-page site at this stage. But you could create it as 3 separate websites within Canva and just link between them if you'd like. It's more work though of course.
Hey Maggie, great video!
Do you think there is a way to create a template or at least single elements for a website on Canva, and then export them and use them to build a website with Wordpress? Or is this just a terrible idea?
Hey Massimiliano - haha no such thing as a terrible idea! I've definitely seen people to this to a certain extent pretty successfully. That goes for like in-line images for opt-ins for example. Where you can create the graphic within Canva and just embed it as an image within WordPress. But anything beyond that would likely not give you the results you want. What theme are you using on WP? If you haven't checked out Divi yet I would give that a go. It's the easiest website builder I've ever worked with and it's a lot more robust than what Canva can do for you. It then also ensures everything is mobile friendly and stacks correctly. Whereas if you export a section from Canva and put it into WordPress as an image it'll likely look ok on desktop but the mobile version will probably struggle 😬
@@Maggie-Stara Thank you for your answer. I am using Astra theme free version and I was planning to install Elementor Pro, since it seems to be even easier to use than Divi and it's also very widespread, I don't know what you think about it
@@massimilianobellini9902 yes Elementor is great 😌 ... similar in terms of user-friendliness to Divi so that's a great option.I would also say that if you'll be using Elementor you probably won't feel the need to use the Canva website option as they're both quite easy to use but Elementor is definitely much more catered to websites than Canva.
@@Maggie-Stara Thank you for your advice!
@@massimilianobellini9902 of course, anytime!! 🥰
I can’t embed my calendly link into my canva pro. Do you know why this is? For me it doesn’t work
Hmm I'm not sure without being able to look into your account sorry. It might be just that the Calendar hasn't been activated yet within Calendly perhaps?
Hi Maggie, It seems that typeform is no longer working on Canva?
hmm... not quite sure what's not working for you sorry. It's working for me! Make sure you're refreshing your Canva design as that can make things a bit buggy if it's been open for too long.
Hi how about the domain of this?
Hi, what tool for create timeline graphic please?
Hey Steeve - Canva has some timeline graphic templates you can utilise! Or you can create it from scratch as well of course. Here's a handy video on how to make it from scratch: th-cam.com/video/m8gIWvS4UFY/w-d-xo.html
Great information but I'll have to watch n pause it to be able to follow the steps. The video was to fast for me.
that's good feedback for me thank you! Sorry to hear it was too fast, but I'm glad you were able to find a workaround by pausing it 💜
The template isn't working
Sorry about that Canva's affiliate links have been playing up for the past 48 hours and they can't seem to get it working. You can use this link instead and that'll work: livingtoroam.com/canva-website sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for watching!
Canva has the WORST customer support by FAR! How can a service so cool like canva lack one of the the most basics of all systems to take itself from great to excellent? I built my canva website over 2 months ago and launched it with an existing domain that I already owned only for them to send an error message after 3 days of trying to verify the domain that said my DNS records couldn't be verified. I went step-by-step with my domain provider (google) who made sure all of the DNS records sent from canva were verified and still NOTHING happened on canva's end. Cool! So I went ahead and scrapped that route and bought a brand new domain from canva to try to relaunch my site, after almost a week of them trying to "verify" their own domain, they sent me the same error message that my site's DNS records couldn't be verified. How and why can't canva verify their own DNS records of a domain that I bought from them? Trying to get support on the canva app is like trying to squeeze water out of a rock - GOODLUCK!
However, I found a way to hunt down their support email which God knows they DON"T want anyone to have because... they just don't want to be bothered. Anyways, I emailed them about my frustration and you guest it,,, they won't even respond. Now, I'm way passed the scheduled date of the launch of my website (yes, I was supposed to launch the site to correspond to the 1st year anniversary of our unveiling event) and now that deadline is passed and I'm scrambling to come up with something else to launch the site with but there's no website to launch as canva can't even fucking verify their own domain. opportunity
So sorry I had to take my frustration here, just hoping to find someone who might have experienced the same to guide me.
Wow I’m so sorry to hear it’s been such a struggle. But I have to say I’m surprised you’ve found their customer service to be sub-par I’ve felt like they have the best and quickest customer service response of any tool I personally use. You’re right that submitting a ticket isn’t the easiest thing in the world understandably so on their end as otherwise they’d be spammed with questions all day long. But I’ve always gotten a prompt and detailed reply to my questions.
So I’m sorry that hasn’t been the case for you! In the interim I would maybe just try to redirect your custom domain to the Canva branded site if it’s already built and ready to go and just the actual domain is buggy. That way you can still provide people with the nice URL and it’ll just redirect to the free Canva branded one until they’re able to help sort it out for you. Could that be a possibility?
