Canvas — the page-builder theme

Free theme

Pages that look designed

Build a landing page, a product page or a whole company site by stacking ready-made sections, then just change the words and the pictures.

This very site is made with Canvas.

Canvas

Ready-made, still yours

Everything a modern site needs

Every part is an ordinary block of the editor, so anyone can change it without touching code.

Full-width sections

Opening sections with a big title, soft gradients, gray or dark backgrounds, centered or split with a picture.

Ready-made patterns

Insert a whole section from Patterns: features, steps, numbers, questions, a call to action.

Cards and icons

Grids of cards with more than twenty icons, check-mark lists, quotes and highlighted boxes.

Your brand color

Choose one color in Customize: buttons, links and accents follow, with a live preview.

Light and fast

No heavy scripts: the styles come with the page, so it opens fast, also on phones.

A B&B home page with the Canvas theme

A real site

Clean, bright, yours

Here Canvas dresses a small B&B: the logo, the menu with a button, a slider and the text. Change the colour and the logo, and it is your brand.

Info boxes, a menu and questions on a Canvas page

Pages

Blocks look designed

Headings, info boxes, menus and questions take the theme’s fonts and spacing, so every page looks finished.

The same home page on a phone, with Canvas

Phones

Just as good on a phone

The menu folds into a button and every section fits the screen.
