How to Edit your Website

This step-by-step guide makes it easy to customize your website in Canva, even if you’ve never used the platform before. With just a few clicks, you can add names, photos, and personal touches to create a beautiful, ready-to-share website.

1. Getting Started

Create a free or Pro Canva account.
Open your template.

2. First Steps

Rename your website in the menu bar.
To add a page, click on the page icon at the top right of your current page.
To add a section (within a page) click on the section icon to the left of your current section.
You can add a total of 10 sections per page, and 45 pages per website. (Canva may change this in the future)
To upload pictures or video into Canva, drag them directly into the frames from the side menu bar.
Under ‘Publish Website’ > ‘Settings’ you can password protect your site, change your URL, add an SEO description to each page and adjust other settings.
If you are unable to publish your website (as a free Canva user), it’s likely that it includes a Pro item.

3. Advanced Editing

To align boxes: select at least three boxes and click ‘Position’ in the menu bar.
Sometimes objects will try to snap into place. Press the ‘Command’ (Mac) / ‘Alt’ (PC) key to avoid snapping.
Press ‘Shift R’ to show the ruler. Guides can be created by dragging your cursor from the ruler onto your document.
To condense paragraphs: highlight your text and select ‘Spacing’ (three little lines with an arrow) in the menu bar.

4. Tips

Canva auto saves. Once you exit your document any edits you have made are not reversible.
Any item (font, element, etc.) with a crown is for Pro Canva users only.
Drag the slider on the bottom right of your workspace to zoom in or out.
Delete pages by selecting the trash icon in the top right above the document.
