    1. You can actually make multiple pages
    2. You can drag the section to make it longer
    3. You can add links to the buttons or basically anything connect to other pages

    I just simply hate this arrogant aproach "senior designers" have with Canva tools. They first assume that there's a limitation and then "ops, it's actually possible" and then again realise the limitation is their knowledge and willness, without even considering all posibilities that made the platform so popular. Feels like they think Canva is a toy for children just because it's easier to use than OLDER devolopment tools such as WordPress - wich is a pain in the *** to learn and create. Open your mind, fellow designers, tools are supposed to be used when it's needed and suitable not to fulfill your ego and status. Explore more and judge less.

      Probably a bit of fear that non-designers can now create a landing page and their service will be redundant. I am so frustrated with other tools, because they assume you had some sort of training. All of those tools are really not non-professional friendly. With Canva I have created some neat landing page. Also; these templates were created by designers so really no need for people to look down on Canva.

    What I love about Canva over other web builders (esp "landing page builders") is that you can drag and drop elements, and place things *exactly* where you want them to go, no more playing with margins, columns, elements, all that time consuming nonsense!

      Hi, can you help me understand how we are free from "playing with margins, columns, elements, all that time consuming nonsense!" as a web developer or even front-end developer. We design by droping stuff that I can understand we can make it easily responsive as well BUT won't we need to code html, css etc? to make actual website?
      how can we set to each button what we need that button to do?
      especially as I coder how can we leverage canva and other such sites to make our job easier?

    Creating a button link - use the button graphic as opposed to the text. (no rollover)

  • @DM-pd2ji
    @DM-pd2ji 8 месяцев назад +49

    1. You can add multiple pages. Create the page as a new design and add a link to it on the main page.
    2. Select the button text and remove the underline (still works as a link)
    3. You can add links to any element, not just the text. Simply select the shape you use as a button and add a link.
    Canva has a learning curve to it as well even though it's very intuitive.

    As a 20+ year senior designer, Canva is an invaluable tool once you take the time to actually learn it and all its features. I wouldn’t recommend this video as a tutorial or know how as he was feeling himself around but it was still ok. Does it replace Photoshop, Indesign or Figma for me - not really but I find myself working in it more because I can use it from my phone and iPad when on the go.

What I did I created 4 different files but instead of making it look like different websites I added the content I would want on each page of my one website and named it the each page I would like it to be from there I created navigation with links and i connected it with a link of the other canva website links ive created.it's not a very user friendly way to make a proper website but I did it that way.

    You missed something. When you click to preview the website as a mobile device at the top left there is a selected button that says “resize on mobile”. If you click to deselect it it will work and your text and images will not be moved to fit the screen. It works! You have to do your research! If anyone tries this out please comment and let me know how it goes.

Everything stays put but it does get smaller. Overall, I don’t mind it so much. I don’t have to pay for a website. I can just design inside canva.

    Regarding the element that was not appearing in the section-02, may be we have to duplicate the element and add in the section-02.
    The padding error may be removed, when the rectangle are placed at the center of the page.

    You've probably figured it out by now but you can extend the length of the page by dragging the adjustment bar (that little white bar on the on the purple bounding box that pops up when you hover over the page). This way you can add more things to each page without having to create new ones each time ;)
