Video summary

- I tested out Canva's website builder by recreating parts of the Notion homepage in 10 minutes to see how easy it was to use and the quality of code it produced.
- The drag-and-drop interface is extremely easy to use, similar to using Canva's normal graphic design tools.
- The website scored very well on page speed tests, with 91 mobile and 98 desktop, but has major accessibility issues due to lack of proper HTML heading structure
- Functionality is limited since you can't plug in e-commerce, WordPress plugins, etc on a Canva site
- Overall very easy for beginners to build a site visually, but lacks semantics and ecosystem compared to WordPress - author proposes integrating drag-and-drop builder into Gutenberg editor
