Your journey may start with buying a domain and using our AI logo generator, but we provide you with everything you need to go beyond those first steps online. GoDaddy's AI Website Builder has excellent features like site creation based on your inputs, AI-suggested industry relevant widgets, copy recommendations, etc.

You have two options: You can make a website yourself with our free Website Builder or Managed Hosting for WordPress, or hire a professional. The do-it-yourself route is designed to be as simple as possible, but if you’d rather someone else do it for you, we can do that. We’ll set you up with a designer that can get a basic site online quickly and easily. It costs more, but if you don’t have the time or desire to do it yourself, it’s worth the investment.

Here’s a quick refresher on each tool:

Website Builder

• Use this if you need a website created quickly and easily.
• The modular editor in the tool lets you add entire sections to pages with a few clicks.
• You don’t have to worry about design. Pre-built, industry-specific templates keep it looking professional.
  

Managed Hosting for WordPress

• Use this if you need a highly customized site and enjoy the freedom to change every detail.
• WordPress lets you take your website with you if you change hosting providers.
• If you’re going to work with a designer, WordPress is an industry standard that most web professionals are familiar with.

Both Website Builder and WordPress are budget-friendly options that vary based on the type of plan you choose.

If you’re looking for a way to make a highly customized website, WordPress is the way to go.

It takes a little more skill, but it's the world’s most popular site-building tool for a reason.

If you create your website using WordPress, the time it takes to complete it will depend on your skill level and the features you add. You can opt for pre-built themes that will get your site up quickly, or you can spend more time customizing every aspect of your site. If you’re not familiar with WordPress, be prepared for a learning curve that may add a few hours to the process.

It depends on which tool you decide to create your website with.

• Website Builder does not allow you to take your website with you.
• WordPress allows you to take your website files with you and install them on another hosting provider.
