Web layout with Canva AI

Builiding my Web with Artificial Intelligence

- The episode by Andrés Díaz explores Canva’s AI-powered web page layout and how it speeds up designing website prototypes, especially for non-developers. - Canva now uses smart templates, predictive grids, spacing guides, and automatic alignment to map site structure (header, hero, services, portfolio, form) and adapt layouts for different devices, emphasizing visual hierarchy and accessibility. - The guide covers turning a Canva prototype into real code: export optimized assets and recreate the structure in HTML/CSS (and optional lightweight JavaScript). Canva doesn’t always generate HTML/CSS; use the prototype as a guide for semantic HTML and clean CSS, applying Canva’s color palettes with accessibility in mind. - A Hostinger hosting recommendation is mentioned (with a link in the episode) for hosting and AI-assisted website building. - Canva’s AI also helps with typography and spacing to improve readability, suggesting a typographic hierarchy and margins that “breathe.” - The discussion invites listener interaction about using AI-generated design proposals and whether AI should propose multiple structures or adapt to an existing idea. - Best practice includes combining prototyping with data-driven iteration: test multiple hero variants, create modular sections (header, hero, cards, form) for reuse and A/B testing, and ensure accessibility from the start. - A practical action plan is provided: pick a clear-structure template, generate AI content for sections, adjust spacing/typography in Canva, export assets and build basic semantic HTML, apply responsive CSS and usability tests, publish and monitor performance. - The episode concludes by reaffirming that Canva is a prototyping accelerator, not a full development replacement, and invites questions for the next episode.
