GoDaddy

Review:

GoDaddy provides users with powerful and intuitive website-building tools to create a professional site. The platform also features robust online payments, real-time shipping rates, and POS tools for users interested in launching or optimizing their online store.

GoDaddy has a free version with basic marketing and design tools, and its paid plans are more affordable than that of some competitors, such as Wix. The platform also has more robust ecommerce features than most sites, including coupons, inventory and product syncing, marketplace selling, and pre-populated tax forms.

• The platform's drag-and-drop editor helps users easily customize templates and add images from an extensive content library.
• The ecommerce tool includes social selling, online payments, discounted shipping, POS tools, and sales tax calculations.
• Users can add online booking forms, one-time events, and text appointment reminders to their websites.
• The platform features website analytics, a sales tracking dashboard, as well as customer and audience metrics.
• The GoDaddy Studio helps users create branded content using professional templates and post it directly to social media channels.
• Users have access to powerful marketing tools, such as social media scheduling, email list segmentation, and SEO campaigns.
• Other services include video creation, gift cards, auto inventory and product syncing, and professional email hosting.
• GoDaddy offers 24/7 phone support, as well as live chat support during business hours.

Cons:

• GoDaddy's free plan is quite limited and does not include additional ecommerce or content design tools.
