Worthy website builder
I’ve used plenty of website builders and always hated them, I now use Wordpress. When I started my detailing company I didn’t want to have to set another store up as there was a lot of moving pieces. I rate the website builder 9/10. Customer service is 10/10

I began using another website but…found GoDaddy more user-friendly
I began using another website but switched over to GoDaddy. As a first-time user of the GoDaddy website builder, I found it easy to use and understand, it gives good options to upload images, videos, podcasts and more. I was very happy with the customer service and she found me a great deal for my domain. Highly recommend GoDaddy :-)
