About GoDaddy Website Builder
Just pick a template, then customize fonts, colors, and content to match your style.
This is a free extension in GoDaddy that allows you to make your own website very quickly and without any start-up capital. You can get an online presence within minutes.
The price is a bit high, and I am not sure why, but my website gets very little traffic. This is frustrating after two years.

GoDaddy-Great for a Starter Website
Comments: Overall, they were solid and helpful and getting website off the ground and running quickly.

Basic builder
Comments: It’s fine, basic and limited but it will get the job done if you’re not looking for anything fancy.

It’s tied to the domain and hosting so it’s all together.

It’s kind of clunky and old fashion. There are much better builders out there.

Setting up a website with GoDaddy
Comments: This helped me create a great website for my business. I also have secure email, which is vital for my business. Overall I'm happy with my experience, but the pricing could be better.
Pros:
Once you figure out which options you want to select when purchasing to get the right level of security this is an easy to use product to design a good looking website with customizations for your business. The customer service response was very timely when I needed to make changes to my account setup.
Cons:
It was confusing with all the options you can choose and free trials to make sure you get everything that you're going to need. It's not very easy to add additional features without it being expensive. It doesn't seem to take into account features you already purchased.

GoDaddy Review
Pros:
The free version of GoDaddy is great! They have so much to work with, and I have created many sites from there. The hosting is free if you get the subdomain and they have tons of site templates to choose from, so it is easy to adjust the site to fit whatever you want/need. I think this one is at the top of the list when it comes to website creation and management.
Cons:
It can be overwhelming at first, because there is so much to do and to choose from.
My personal views on Godaddy
Comments: overall I have no difficulty using the platform I was a bit turned off by some of the promotions ,but I was able to choose a reasonable package I could easily afford.
Pros:
I like this product because it offers a wide range of services and prices. Its by all means one of the largest domain to offer this service ,its easy to se and caters to a wide variety of needs .There is effective customer support through out.
Cons:
In my opinion Godaddy is very costly, there is also on going promotions and adds on which comes at a price for the most part this can be heavy on the pocket to paying more for additional features. this in a sense can deter potential businesses.

Pros:
It is user-friendly and great for those who just need to setup a site for themself or have Godaddy help. But not ideal for those who want to code or customize things.

Not enough access for customizing the website php or webserver dashboard. The renewal price doubles.
