It is costly, but it's worth it.

4.0 3 months ago

Comments: It's similar to other websites and is good for simple projects, but not for business purposes. It can be costly.

Pros:

It is simple to use for a basic website. They have lots of templates available, and I used it for my wedding invitations, and they turned out amazing. I really liked it.

Cons:

To use the plugins, you have to pay, which is expensive. there is a membership option where I can use them for free or I have to pay $40 per plugin, which is costly..

My GoDaddy Experience

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: GoDaddy Website Builder is fast and user-friendly for setting up a website as quickly as possible.

Pros:

GoDaddy is famous, for offering an effective way to launch a website online making it a popular option, among small businesses seeking to create an ecommerce site.

Cons:

GoDaddy has limited customisation which I know if they can improve greatly on it, they will beat their competitors.

Website Builder good for first time users

3.0 4 months ago

Comments: Support for GoDaddy is great. You can get someone on the phone to answer your questions or read Help section. Website Builder works well for quick and basic websites, or anyone who does not know how to code.

Pros:

Pre-packaged templates help you get started and show you the type of content you want for each web page. There are free extras for setting up SEO and google analytics.

Cons:

The templates are fairly rigid and are mainly for basic websites. If you want more customization you can add HTML code but it's quite limited.

GoDaddy Website Builder for Ecommerce?

4.0 last month New

Comments: I think the website builder is easy to use and intuitive. If you want to get something up quickly and have services or limited ecommerce, I think this will work fine. If you have a larger business or more complex ecommerce site I think Shopify will be a better fit.

Pros:

Their website builder has come a long way over the past 2 years. It uses AI now and is much more intuitive and user friendly.

Cons:

The website builder is solid, but my issue came more with the functionality of the ecommerce side and some of the limitations that brought.

Easy and Fast Website Builder

4.0 2 months ago New

Comments: Overall, it has been a great experience with GoDaddy Website Builder. One time, a domain I wanted was shown available but it wasn't available when I tried to purchase which made my experience a bit bitter. But other than that, the builder is amazing and I have used it on a couple of websites.

Pros:

I like how easy it is to make professional websites using the builder. There are a lot of professional templates to choose from and I can edit them easily. The website I created with GoDaddy Website Builder also seemed to load faster when compared to other builders.

Cons:

Once, I checked the domain on GoDaddy and it showed an available domain. I proceeded to create a website thinking I would connect the new domain later. However, after I was finished creating the site, the domain was not available. It was parked by GoDaddy itself. I am not sure if the domain search showing available was error or if their software automatically bought the domain.

Godaddy does the job...sort of

4.0 last year

Comments: It was decent in the beginning. I started a website for the first time, got a business ozone and email for the first time, and created a very nice website. But after a few years and other competitors coming up with better, easier to use, and cheaper web design builders. That, and they increase the price drastically after a couple years and it goes from being affordable to being about 7x-8x the price.

Pros:

I liked godaddys website template options. The templates make it easy to create a visually stunning website without any knowledge on web design. I also like how they offer more than just websites. You can get a business phone number, landing page,integrated pos system, ect and they usually have a deal where they will throw one or two of those extras in for a nice discounted price

Cons:

There are a few things I don't like about godaddy. They limit your website design and creativity a bit too much. Once you get your site to a certain point it feels like you can't make it any better. Not because its perfect, but because their templates won't allow for any more growth. Also, I had 5 different products through godaddy. I canceled extras like the business phone, extra web address, and landing page, but I kept the main website and business email. After about 3 months I come to find that because I didn't renew all 5 of my products and only kept 2, they put a hold on my email address so I couldn't receive any emails and nobody told me this would be happening so I missed out of multiple business opportunities because emails weren't coming through eventhough I was paying godaddy for a business email account. They didn't seem to care all that much when I asked them for help either.

I just don't think AI is as helpful as they claim

4.0 6 months ago

Pros:

It's easy to set up an account with GoDaddy, and I like that you can buy a domain and pair that with a website design through the service.

Cons:

I don't think the AI builder is helpful. The pricing is reasonable, but I'd like to see opportunities to work with real people through its service.
