Overall Satisfaction with Canva
I could not run my business without Canva. Though I am also a graphic designer, I can spend a fraction of the time creating something in Canva than if I were to create the same thing in Illustrator. I can make a social media graphic in less than a minute. I use Canva to showcase my resume samples on flatlays. I use Canva to make infographics, eBooks, social media headers, and more for my clients and myself.
- Ease of use: ANYONE can use it. ANY. ONE.
- Design options: There are so many design elements and free stock photos to use, I am still finding new things and I've been a user since 2013.
- Simplicity: Things are simple to use and to learn. It's not "harder than it should be" like most Adobe design products
- Some design features would be nice: The paid version has some extra features but in general, there are some things it can't do, like curve text around a shape for example.
- Like I said, I cannot function as an online business without Canva. Not only do I use it for my own social media posts, headers, email headers, flyers, I also use it for my clients for any online posting they need to do. For this reason, it is hugely responsible for my growing business.

There is really nothing out there as robust as Canva. And it's free! It's incredible. I turn people on to it all the time and always get positive feedback wishing they'd learned about it sooner.
