GoDaddy Review: Simple. Too Simple.

A closer look at GoDaddy's website builder and how it compares to competitors such as Squarespace and Wix.

Three things to know:

1. Easy To Use — Because GoDaddy's website builder is simple, it's also easy to use. But this also means that it's...
2. Cookie Cutter — The section-based editor allows for limited customization, which can frustrate.
3. Poor Theme Customization — Very little theme customization options. Font and color selection are a joke.

Overall GoDaddy's website builder is simple— often too simple. It has extremely limited customization options and feels cookie-cutter. It's easy to use but website builders such as Weebly have shown that it's possible to be both easy to use and powerful.

All I have is what ive experienced personally with GoDaddy. If you want to buy a .Com it may be fine. However, I purchased a product 2 years ago. I don't have much time and have been working on it as I could. 9 months ago features started to disappear. I called, waited, waited, waited and then got someone who couldn't help me, took my number and said they would get back with me the next day. No Call. I called back and went through the whole thing again except when they said they would call back, I said forget it because I would be back to work. I keep trying to build my site. Then I would start logging on and my site was changed! My moving background was a still picture, whole blocks of text were moved, my pictures were layered behind their backgrounds, hours and hours of work that I had to redo... and yes, I save each and every time I change something!  Skip to 2 weeks ago. I  log in because im almost done though its no longer what I wanted because Ive had to change and do without things because features have changed, and all I need is 2 more navigation buttons....AND THERE ARENT ANY!   So I call.... and S.S.D.D. All they wanted is to sell me an upgrade when I spent $268 or so dollars for a product that disintegrated out from under me as I was building it. I finally asked for a reimbursement for a product that I purchased but no longer was what I bought. They wont do it. So beaware. I still have my .coms, but If I can figure out how to move them some where else and pay someone to park them, I will. GoDaddy is out of reach so they don't have to deal with their poor products. They will change what you purchased anytime they think they can make a buck and they don't care about you because they've already got your money.  Buyer beware.

Thanks for your review! I'm just starting to search what would be better for my business. I'm makeup artist and hairstylist, and I do a variety of services. I don't blog at the moment, but I would like to have a website where I can sell my services, have a booking section, do questionnaire prior to some services. Which one would you suggest? Thank you!
