GoDaddy Website Builder FAQ
Why should I build a website?
By creating a website, you are creating an online presence. This allows you to connect with people that you might not otherwise be able to reach. Whether you’re making a basic website with contact information for your small business or medical practice, creating a landing page for your freelance work, a multi-page experience for your wedding photography business or you just want a place to blog about your thoughts on food, having a website will give you a dynamic advantage.
What is a website builder?
A website builder is a tool or a platform that enables users and businesses to create and design their own websites without coding or programming skills. Website builders provide a user-friendly interface with drag-and-drop functionality, pre-designed templates, and multiple customization options. The GoDaddy Website Builder is an all-in-one solution that helps users easily build and launch a professional website or promote a brand or business in minutes.
How can I keep my website secure and safe for my customers?
In all Website Builder plans any data transmitted from your site will be encrypted using a SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate. Your SSL will establish an encrypted link between your web server and the browser of the person visiting your site. This means that all data will be kept private; which is important if you want visitors to your site to be safe. If you want to sell products or services in your store, you will want to have a SSL since it protects credit card and bank numbers from being intercepted by hackers.
What's included in the Free Website option?
Free Website allows you to sign-up for a permanent, no-cost website, no credit card required. You can build and publish your website with unlimited pages and content, and you also get social media, email marketing, one-time appointments, SSL and much more. Oh, and you also get all the same 24/7 support that you do with any other GoDaddy plan.
Is my website really free?
After you experience the premium features of our paid plans free for 7 days, you will be downgraded to a free version of the Websites + Marketing service. Don’t worry, if you choose not to upgrade you won’t lose the work you’ve already done to your free site and you can upgrade anytime to continue enjoying premium features (such as connecting your domain). You can upgrade your plan in the My Products section of your account or with the help of GoDaddy Guide. See Website Builder plans and pricing to find one that suits your needs.
How long does it take to create a website with GoDaddy Website Builder?
Create your website using AI in a matter of minutes with GoDaddy Website Builder. Choose your theme and brand colors, create your page-to-page flow, add your content — and your fully-functioning website is complete. From Start to Publish, it’s that easy.
Can I turn my website into an online store?
You can make a website that lets you sell products and services if you have the Ecommerce plan. You’ll have an online store that will allow you to add products and services, set up different types of payment methods, and even specific types of shipping. Your store will be integrated into your website as a page. You can add featured products for your visitors to scroll through, make quick purchases using PayPal and Apple Pay and promote your store/products through coupons. You can also use the same type of email marketing that is included in the Premium plan to send email communications to your subscribers and customers about sales on your website, coupon offers and online events. Establishing a strong online presence can boost your sales.
Can I connect a custom domain to my website?
During your initial 7 day free trial of premium features you can connect a custom domain to your website. At the end of your trial, your website will be moved to a temporary domain like "www.yoursite.godaddysites.com" unless you upgrade to a paid plan.
Can I connect my social media and website?
Yes. GoDaddy Website Builder can act as your online hub. The option to link to your Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn and YouTube on your website gives you an advantage in communicating with your visitors. By centrally locating all the links in one place – your new website – you’re giving your online visitors a seamless experience.
Are SEO (Search Engine Optimization) tools included with Website Builder?
Select Website Builder plans come with built-in SEO tools to help your website show up in search engines like Google. In Website Builder, you’ll find the SEO Wizard, a step-by-step guide that provides suggestions on how to optimize each page of your website by adding relevant keywords and description.
What if I want to move from a Free Website to one of the paid plans later?
You can absolutely do that. If you want to upgrade to a paid plan to get some of the features you want, then you can switch at any time through the My Products option in your account or with the help of a GoDaddy Guide. Once you upgrade your site will have all the same customizations and work that you've already put in place, just with the added features. See Website Builder plans and pricing for more info.
Does the Free Website plan come with Online Store features?
With the Free Website plan you can set up your store at no cost, and you don't need to pay any extra. Once you're ready to take orders you'll need to upgrade to the Ecommerce plan.
How do I create a website?
Creating a website is a relatively small effort that can have a huge impact on your business’ bottom line. Here’s how to start building your website:
- Get organized Think about the info and images you want to include on your website and what categories you’ll need to organize that content. Maybe you’ll need an About page with contact info, or a Menu page to show off tasty treats? You’ll make quick progress if you can map out a general structure before you start creating your site.
- Choose a website template Pick a template to get started, or hit Start for Free to have Websites + Marketing generate a business-relevant template for you.
