Overall Satisfaction with Canva
I use Canva every day to create content for social platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I also use it for email blasts, marketing flyers, email banners and more. It is a fantastic and versatile tool that has aided in many creatively driven projects. We primarily use it strictly within the sales and executive offices for various projects. It addresses the biggest problem of not having a marketing design team at our fingertips since we are a franchised brand.
- It has so many templates to choose from both free and paid.
- The have an amazing library of free and paid art (photos, cliparts, etc) to use.
- You also have the option of uploading your own artwork.
- Editing both on iPad and standard desktop. In certain areas it has limitations that prevent you from cropping a picture they way you want or positioning items.
- Saving, it says it auto saves and most times it does. But there are times (even when I hit the save button) it does not and my work is lost. That is truly aggravating.
- Canva has solved our issue of lacking a creative design program suitable for a variety of projects.
- It has increased creative productivity and share-ability across social platforms.
- It has increased the number of social followers we have because followers enjoy seeing our posts and share them on a regular basis which draws more attention to our brand.
- BeFunky and Vectr
I looked into using Vectr and BeFunky but ultimately I needed a program I could use mostly for free with some sporadic purchases of upgrades when necessary but without the need for a longterm contract or monthly subscription. Canva allows me to use so much of there content for FREE without a subscription or monthly contract. Many other website services like BeFunky or Vectr (at the time I looked into them) only offered a taste of their content and you had to sign up or purchase for the good stuff.
