Go to Canva.com

Canva is one of our favorite free web-based software applications that allow DIY designers to create professional content.

Click on the Instagram post icon

The Instagram post design tool gives you a 1 x 1 ratio for your image that is perfect for posting to all platforms! It also looks great on both mobile posts and desktop views.

Search for Christmas and select a template

Click on the search bar in the upper right-hand corner. Type in Christmas and click on search for Christmas. You will see several free templates to choose from. Click on the template you like best!

Upload your logo and a picture

Click on the uploads icon to the left of your screen about halfway down. Click on the upload media button. Select a logo and a picture from your computer.

Replace the template photo and text

Now the fun really begins. If your template had a photo, click on the uploads icon to the left of your screen about halfway down. Click and drag your photo on top of the placeholder/template photo. You should see the photo swap out. If you have trouble, you can always click on the undo button at the top-left-hand side of the screen. 


Next, click on your logo to add it to the design. You can resize the logo by clicking on the white boxes on the corner of the image. You can also click and drag the logo to any position you desire.


Finally, double-click on the larger text box and change the text to Merry Christmas. If the text is too big, click on the minus button at the top-middle of the screen. You can also click on the font size number and manually type in the font size. Double-click on the smaller text box and change the text to your website or phone number.

Download your post

Click on the download button in the upper right-hand corner. A drop-down will appear. Click on the download button. Your Christmas post is now ready to use.

Making the Right Choice: Building a Website Yourself or Hiring a Designer

By Justin Babcock • 12 Jul, 2023
In the ever-evolving digital landscape, establishing an online presence is paramount for every business. A well-structured and designed website can greatly enhance your brand's visibility and credibility. However, the process of creating a website can be daunting, especially when confronted with decisions like the cost of hiring a designer, how to find a suitable one, or opting for a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach using website builders like Wix or Squarespace. Making an informed choice can be challenging, but it's not impossible. Figuring Out Your Budget and Time: The Classic Decision Building a website involves an investment of both time and money. Hiring a designer can cost between $100 to $200 per website page, whereas setting up a website yourself might consume around 4 hours per page. It's a classic time or money conundrum that forces you to reassess your priorities. Do you have the design skills to build a website yourself? If not, using DIY applications may extend the time it takes for you to establish your online presence. However, if your budget is tight, investing your time into learning and implementing the process might be a viable option. DIY Website Builders: A Blessing or a Curse? Website builders like Wix, Squarespace, and WordPress have made website creation accessible to everyone, regardless of technical expertise. But are they always the best choice? Wix Pros: Wix offers an intuitive drag-and-drop interface and a variety of templates, which make it easy for beginners to create a website. It also provides advanced features for more seasoned users. Cons: The flexibility of Wix can also be its downfall, as the wide range of options can be overwhelming. Its SEO capabilities have been criticized, and the free plan comes with ads. Squarespace Pros: Squarespace is known for its sleek, professional design templates. It offers comprehensive features and excellent customer support. Cons: Squarespace's pricing is slightly higher compared to other builders, and the platform can be less intuitive for first-time users. WordPress Pros: WordPress offers incredible flexibility and control, with thousands of themes and plugins. It's a great choice for blogs due to its strong content management system. Cons: WordPress has a steeper learning curve compared to other builders, and you may need to handle updates and security measures manually.
