Affordable Quality

4.0 last year

Comments: Very, very good experience with the product. It distinctly underperforms in a couple areas, but those are not vital for most needs.

Pros:

Easy to use, intuitive design, lots of content options, very good at representing final product. Good support when needed. Secure from attacks.

Cons:

Integrations require technical knowledge, many of them are not put in well and require some hard coding knowledge to deal. The customization options are limited.

Simplifying Online Presence

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: My overall experience with GoDaddy Website Builder has been positive. The platform offers a user-friendly interface and a variety of customization options, making it easy to create and manage a professional-looking website. However, I found that the platform lacks some advanced features and flexibility compared to other website builders. Overall, it's a reliable choice for those looking to quickly build a website without the need for extensive technical expertise.

Pros:

User-Friendly Interface and Customization Options

Cons:

Limited Advanced Features and Flexibility

GoDaddy-Great for a Starter Website

3.0 last month New

Comments: Overall, they were solid and helpful and getting website off the ground and running quickly.

Pros:

They allow for building up a website relatively quickly with no frills or fuss. To get running quickly, GoDaddy is great and can help create a website that is simple to build and use. They provide a good value for building a site that does not need many external applications tied in.

Cons:

The design can be simplistic and look a bit dated. Also, for fancier features and handling high volumes of traffic, GoDaddy is limited and not great for that functionality.

Basic builder

4.0 3 months ago

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

Pros:

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

Cons:

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

Pros:

i found it super easy to use for someone who has no experience building websites

Cons:

it was a little time consuming for me but that was likely because i am a beginner in the field with no education

Setting up a website with GoDaddy

4.0 last year

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

5.0 8 months ago

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

5.0 3 months ago

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.

Go Daddy Website Builder-Small business review

5.0 9 months ago

Comments: Overall we have had a great experience with GoDaddy Website Builder! We highly recommend using the GoDaddy Website Builder for any type of business.

Pros:

What I liked most about the GoDaddy Website Builder is how easy it was to use! I do believe any of our employees could use the builder and do a great job. The easy set up is great for a small business to not have to worry about wasting time on designs or layouts and they can just launch the website within a few days even hours in needed.

Cons:

As a small business we did not find anything we did not like about the GoDaddy Website Builder. We found it to be a great tool for us as a company.

User-Friendly GoDaddy

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: My overall experience with GoDaddy has been great. It’s very intuitive, it made it easy for me as a beginner. It's perfect for anyone who wants a quick, easy way to create a website. For small businesses or personal projects, it’s a solid choice.

Pros:

GoDaddy is extremely user-friendly. I like the variety of templates available and how customizable they are. That's something I've taken advantage of while building my brand There are also integrated SEO tools helping your site get noticed online, which is a huge bonus.

Cons:

The downside of GoDaddy is that it's missing some more advanced customization options compared to other platforms. There are some limitations in terms of design flexibility if you want to fully personalize your site beyond the templates.

Great for do it yourself or starting in web design

4.0 11 months ago

Comments: I did not choose this but I used it and overall it got the job done. I do have to say that after the 1 year was over the renewal price doubled and because it was a GoDaddy site you cant move to a new host. (we rebuilt it on wordpress)

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.

Cons:

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