Canvas Builder + Netlify

Netlify is one of the best platforms for deploying Canvas Builder's static HTML output. Git-push deployments, built-in form handling, serverless functions, and a generous free tier make it ideal for marketing sites, portfolios, and landing pages.

Use Cases

Deploy Canvas Builder sites via Git push
Built-in form handling for contact and lead forms
Serverless functions for form processing and APIs
A/B testing with Netlify's split testing
Netlify CMS for client-editable content

How It Works

1

Create a Netlify site

Drag and drop your Canvas Builder HTML folder onto Netlify's dashboard, or connect your Git repository. Netlify detects the static files and deploys automatically.

2

Configure forms and functions

Add netlify attributes to your HTML forms for built-in form handling (no backend required). Add serverless functions in /netlify/functions/ for form processing, email sending, or API integrations.

3

Set up continuous deployment

Connect your Git repository. Every push to main triggers a production deploy. Every branch gets a preview deploy URL. Review changes before merging to production.

4

Add your custom domain

Add your domain in Netlify's domain management. Netlify provisions a free SSL certificate via Let's Encrypt and configures DNS. Your site is live in minutes.

Benefits

Free tier: 100GB bandwidth, 300 build minutes/month
Built-in form handling without a backend
Automatic HTTPS with Let's Encrypt
Instant rollbacks and deploy previews
Netlify CMS for client-friendly content editing

Can I use Netlify for a Canvas Builder site with contact forms?

Is Netlify's free tier enough for a business site?
Netlify's free tier includes 100GB bandwidth/month, 300 build minutes, and form submissions (100/month on the free tier). This is sufficient for most small business sites with moderate traffic.
