GoDaddy the KING of website builders...
GoDaddy obviously is the 'go to' website builder. They make everything so easy to get set up and ready... I highly recommend them to anyone that's starting a business and that's needing a website... Thanks...

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 :-)

I've never had a bad experience with GoDaddy and I've been a customer of theirs for many years. If there's an issue, they either fix it or walk me thru it. Website Builder is awesome and very easy to use. LOVE GODADDY! Wouldn't even think about going elsewhere.
