Canva is a digital marketing design app that allows users with no design experience to easily create anything from business cards and banners to websites and flyers - all under their free plan.  

With thousands of templates, users can easily create designs with just a few clicks. Each template is customizable by color, verbiage, font, adding sticking, and changing photos.
