Create + Sell Canva Websites (Step by Step Canva Website Tutorial)

About this video

A step-by-step tutorial on creating and selling Canva website templates on Etsy. Hayes argues Canva websites command higher prices than PDFs or printables because they solve a real problem for buyers who need a site but don’t want to pay thousands for a designer, competition is still relatively low, and no Squarespace or Wix knowledge is needed. She cites example listings making 157 and 99 sales in the last month. The process: first decide layout and branding (research Canva’s template library and best-selling Etsy listings; pick three to five colors and two to three fonts, stored in a Canva Pro brand kit or a brand board). Then create a website project in Canva and build sections — a custom top link bar, hero, ‘imagine with me,’ about, services, portfolio, and a closing call-to-action section — checking desktop and mobile preview as you go, and preferring free elements (no crown icon) so buyers without Canva Pro can edit. She adds a second page with a Canva business intake form (name, email, business name, social handle, long-answer and multiple-choice fields), then links every nav item and button to its section or to the contact page. Finally, make a copy of the design: publish the original as the live demo linked in the Etsy listing, generate a template link from the copy (requires Canva Pro), and deliver buyers a one-page PDF whose ‘access your template here’ text is hyperlinked to that template link.

Key takeaways

• Canva website templates can price higher than printables because they replace hiring a designer, with still-low competition
• Plan layout and branding first: 3-5 colors, 2-3 fonts, in a brand kit or brand board
• Use free (non-crown) Canva elements so buyers without Canva Pro can edit the template
• Publish the original as a live demo; deliver a copy via a Canva Pro template link
• Sell through a one-page PDF deliverable hyperlinked to the template link
