I’ve been exploring a few things using the canvas page type. Right now I’ve been building landing pages for my listing clients with interactive marketing plans and timelines for their listing launch. Pretty cool stuff.
One thing I noticed is I had claude run a full test on a canvas page to see what is stripped out from a typical page type. It appears the following are removed:
Stylesheets
Script tags(JS)
Header/Nav/Footer
Canonical Tag
Google Analytics
When I build my pages some of those things are either in line or not needed. Hopefully this helps some people looking to know what the canvas page type does(or doesn’t do)
What other things are you guys using this new page option for? @Morgan, how about you?
Glad you’re enjoying #canvas - and I think you’re using it exactly right.
The goal behind Canvas is to literally provide “A blank canvas”
It’s meant to empower those with the front end development and design skills (or those who want to use AI) to do custom design work without worrying about having to remember to tag custom style sheets so they don’t conflict with built in or embedded styles or JS.
One thing worthy of note - for more advance database injection etc (requiring access to server side databases etc) you do still need a programmer at REW.
Example you can completely design your own custom forms etc - but if you wanted to insert it into the CRM dynamically (and automatically) you would need programming to do that.
OR… you could be a mega hacker, build your own API router, have your forms submit to your API router, then have your API router inject the leads data back into the CRM via inbound API
But if you’re that advanced… well, just wait for the MCP - it’s coming next release!
