How to Create a Free Website Using Cava AI – Step-by-Step
Everyone knows we are in the era of AI. So how could a billion-dollar company like Canva stay behind in this race? Yes, Canva has also launched its own powerful AI tool that can help you create websites, write codes, design games, and much more.
The most amazing part? If you want to create a website but don’t have hosting, Cava provides free hosting too. In this blog post, you’ll learn how to use Canva AI to build websites, generate code, and publish your work online—even if you have no technical skills.
Step 1: Getting Started with Cavna AI
Go to canva.com. As you may know, we used to create posters, resumes, and logos here. Now, with a Gmail account, you can create a free account on the site.
After logging in, you'll see a new interface. Earlier, we were only designing, but now a new AI feature has launched.
Step 2: Exploring Canva AI Features
Click on the Canva AI feature. You will see different tools like:
-
Design for Me (for generating designs)
-
Create an Image (for AI image generation)
-
Create a Document
-
Code for Me (this is the one we'll use)
Inside the “Code for Me” tool, you can generate:
-
Interactive pricing calculators
-
Historical timelines
-
Flashcard games
-
Countdown timers
And much more!
Step 3: Generating a Website with Cava AI
Let’s say you want to create a website for your digital marketing agency named Pkdigits. Use the voice input or type:
“Hello, I am a digital marketer and running a digital marketing agency named Pkdigits. Can you create a website for me for my digital marketing agency?”
Submit this prompt.
Canva will immediately begin generating code and designing your website in real time. You don’t need to write a single line of code yourself.
Once the coding is done, you’ll see a live preview of your website with sections like:
-
Home
-
Services
-
About
-
Testimonials
-
Contact Us
All properly styled and mobile responsive.
Step 4: Publishing Your Website
To publish the site:
-
Click “Use in Design” > Website.
-
You’ll be redirected to the preview page.
-
Preview how your site will look on desktop and mobile.
-
Click “Publish Website”.
-
A free Canva-hosted URL will be generated.
You can view your website live, hosted by Canva for free.
Step 5: Creating Games with Canva AI
Canva AI can also build simple games. For example, a Color Matching Memory Game.
Use the prompt in “Code for Me”:
“Create a six-pair color matching memory game.”
Submit it, and Canva will generate the full HTML code. Once complete, you’ll get a working game with play instructions like “How to play the game,” and working functionality such as flipping and matching cards.
Step 6: Why WordPress Is Still Important
Even with all these powerful tools, there are limitations. For example, if you want to:
-
Change a word like "Get in Touch" to "Contact Us"
-
Modify colors or layouts
You’ll need to go back to Canva and regenerate the code. Unlike WordPress, there’s no simple interface to customize.
So if you need advanced control, WordPress is still essential.
Step 7: Cost Considerations
To use the full Canva AI functionality:
-
You must upgrade to Cava Pro.
-
For custom domains, you’ll pay extra.
-
Future customizations may require you to regenerate code again and again.
Final Thoughts
Canva AI is a revolutionary tool and gives you the ability to experiment with websites and games. But for complete control and flexibility, WordPress is the recommended choice.
