Adobe Express or Canva

[ChrisNoud]

I've got a winery client that wants me to design some tasting room documents that they can update themselves. My expereince with either program (Canva or Express) is that they are quite limited when it comes really controlling typography - all the advanced settings like space after, kerning, tabs, tracking and justification control, etc. 

I'd greatly prefer to do the design in InDesign, and hand the files off for them to update... or figure out how to update. I say this because they are also asking for an elevated look and feel to these documents that rise above the average.

I guess my question is this - Am I wrong about Express or Canva ability? Can you truly design a highly nuanced document, with lots of control over type, forms, etc., in either of these programs?

Highly Nuanced?  If you have the experience stick with InDesign.    Control over type elements in both programs can be a bit constrictive at times.  I have lots of experience with both, and prefere Adobe Express by a longshot.

I do have the experience with ID and such, and not as much with Canva and Express, but some of my clients really like those platforms because they are cheap and web based. I'm intriqued by your preferecne for Express. Do you think Adobe Express gives you more control directly? Or do you prefer it because you can share files directly out of InDesign to Express, so client review and editing is simpler?
