What makes a good template ๐จ ?
Our core values are: Simplicity, Usability, Visuality, Safety
1.
Simplicity
Templates with complex structures can lead to situations where users have to readjust layouts and change text sizes when removing certain elements. This process forces users to think about the layout and design, which can be stressful and frustrating for them. Therefore, it's important to keep your templates as intuitive and simple as possible.

2.
Usability
All content included in a template (elements, text, images, frames, etc.) should be easy for users to modify.
Each piece of content should be assigned the appropriate attribute values so that it retains its overall design when edited by users.
Along with "Simplicity", "Usability" is a must-have for MiriCanvas templates.
