Is my website really free?

You can upgrade your plan in the My Products section of your account or with the help of a GoDaddy Guide. See Website Builder plans and pricing to find one that suits your needs. -
Can I customize my website?
Absolutely. Add or edit sections — like image galleries, price lists, menus, scrollable content blocks and YouTube or Vimeo videos — to customize your website to your business needs. Every section in your website is customizable, from the name of the page, to your website’s navigation bar. You’ll also have the ability to change text, colors, styles and font.

Once you’ve upgraded, you can accept orders and build the ultimate shopping experience with features like Apple Pay, highlighted product sections and promotional coupons.

Does GoDaddy Website Builder include an SSL certificate?
Yes. In all plans, any data transmitted from your site will be encrypted using a SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate.
