Justin Babcock • Jun 30, 2022

You don't have time to mess around. You need marketing graphics that look good, but you don't have the budget to buy graphics every time you want to post to social media.


To complicate things more, you know that your brand needs a consistent look across all of your marketing content. You need people to easily recognize and connect with your company. But how do you keep your brand's look consistent without spending hundreds of dollars on each graphic?


That's where Canva comes in. With just a few clicks in Canva's simple design editor, you can create beautiful marketing graphics in under two minutes!


Watch our video below to see how easy it is, and follow along with our written instructions below.

Step 1: Go to your The Marketing Launchpad account. If you don't have an account, use our demo account.


Step 2: Scroll down to the Images & Video section. Left-click on the Canva logo.


Note: if you haven't written anything to go along with your graphic, head back to the "write a post title" section and follow the Writing Instructions.


Step 3: Log into Canva if you haven't already. From the home page, scroll down to the Recent Designs Library. Find the design you like. Hover over the design. Left-click on the three dots in the upper right-hand corner of the design, and left-click on "make a copy".


Step 4: Left-click on the new design in your "Recent Designs" library. The thumbnail will be titled "Copy of..." and appear as the first thumbnail in your Recent Designs.


Step 5: Double-click on the design title at the top of the editor. Delete the old name of the design and replace it with your new title.


Step 6: Revise your design. You can revise your design by double-clicking on text boxes and revising titles, subtitles, and calls to action. You can replace pictures by uploading photos and dragging them over top of the photos you wish to replace.

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.
