Why You Should Leave Website Design to the Professionals at Giant Media

In today’s digital world, it is easier than ever to create a basic website using tools like Canva. They offer ready-made templates, drag-and-drop features, and quick publishing options — all promising to get you online fast.

But when it comes to building a website that truly represents your brand and drives real business results, DIY platforms like Canva fall short. If you are serious about your online presence, it pays to leave website design to the professionals at Giant Media.

Canva Is Built for Simplicity, Not Strategy

Canva’s website builder is designed for simplicity and that is part of the problem. It is great for creating a basic page quickly, but it does not offer the strategic design thinking, user experience (UX) planning, or technical SEO structure that a professional website requires.

Your website is often the first impression potential customers will have of your business. If it feels templated, slow, or hard to navigate, you risk losing their interest within seconds.

At Giant Media, we build websites that are not just visually appealing, but strategically designed to guide visitors, encourage action, and reflect your brand’s professionalism.

Limitations That Hurt Your Growth

While Canva makes it easy to drag and drop elements, it has major limitations once your business starts growing. Things like:

• Limited control over mobile responsiveness
• Poor SEO structure and indexing
• Slow loading speeds for image-heavy pages
• Lack of flexibility for advanced functionality (like bookings, memberships, or eCommerce)
• Template-based designs that look the same as countless other businesses

Over time, these limitations can hurt your online performance and force you to rebuild your site properly, costing you more time and money.

Giant Media builds websites on WordPress, giving you full flexibility, professional SEO foundations, faster load times, and the ability to grow and adapt your site as your business evolves.

Branding Matters More Than Ever

Your brand deserves more than a cookie-cutter template. Canva websites often struggle to reflect a unique, polished brand image because their customisation options are so limited. Fonts, layouts, image placement — everything is restricted by the template you choose.

At Giant Media, we design websites that are custom-tailored to your brand, with flexible layouts, consistent visual language, and a user journey that feels natural and professional. We take the time to understand your business, your customers, and your goals then bring all of that to life online.

A strong, cohesive brand presence builds trust, drives engagement, and sets you apart from the competition. A DIY Canva site cannot deliver that level of impact.
