To edit the URL (domain) of your Canva website, follow these steps:
- On the Canva homepage, tap the Menu tab.
- Tap on Settings.
- Tap on Domains.
- Locate the domain managed by Canva that you wish to edit. Next to the domain name, tap on Manage.
- To change the name of your domain, tap on Edit.
- Make your desired changes to the URL.
- When you're finished, tap on Save.
- After saving, carefully check the new link to ensure there are no misspelled words or errors. It's crucial to test the link to confirm it directs users to your website correctly.
Important Considerations:
- Domain Availability: If you're trying to change to a completely new domain name, ensure it's available and not already in use.
- SEO Impact: Changing your website's URL can temporarily impact your SEO (Search Engine Optimization). It's recommended to set up redirects from your old URL to the new one to minimize any negative effects on search engine rankings. Canva might not offer automatic redirects, so you may need to handle this separately depending on your hosting and domain setup. Consider using a URL shortener if you are unable to set up a redirect.
- Custom Domains: If you're using a custom domain that you purchased through Canva or connected to Canva, you'll be able to edit it within Canva's domain settings as described above.
- Canva Subdomains: If you're using a free Canva subdomain (e.g., yourname.canva.site), you may be able to edit the "yourname" part of the URL following the steps above, subject to availability.
