the Best Tools for Building Websites in 2017 

GoDaddy

GoDaddy has gained a wide recognition thanks to its TV commercials and focused marketing strategies. While many people say its a service that you either love or hate, we tend to focus on how this service can help to get your online business going, and in this regard, GoDaddy provides a commendable service.

For starters, they are THE largest domain name registrar in the world with 60 million domain names under their management and out of which 13 million of them are premium customers. They offer comprehensive site builder tools and world-class customer support services.

GoDaddy

Feature highlights:

• Easy to use website editor with lots of great features and photo-editing capabilities.
• Anytime money-back guarantee.
• World-class customer support team.

Website Editor

If you like the Wix website editor (the #1 site builder on our list!), then you’ll definitely feel at home with GoDaddy’s editor. Its photo-editing capabilities are simply top-notch! It is surprisingly (almost shamelessly) similar in terms of its features and usability. But hey, if you’re going to imitate someone, you might as well imitate the best!

Pricing 
All pricing packages include free domain domain registration.

• Personal ($5.99/mo.): Includes 1GB of storage and 150GB bandwidth, but doesn’t include any mobile sites.
• Business ($9.99/mo.): Includes mobile version of site, 10GB of storage and up to 5 email addresses.
• Business Plus ($14.99/mo.): Includes SEO tools and an SSL certificate along with a storage limit of 50GB and 1TB bandwidth.

Templates

Themes are free when you subscribe to their monthly plans,. The Personal Plan offer templates in 50 styles, while the Business plans give you a choice of 300 template designs. Make sure you pick a template you really like because switching templates with GoDaddy means you’ll have to rebuild your page from scratch. Ouch.

eCommerce Support

GoDaddy offers various (as in over 300!) online store templates and special Page Help features that provide How-to tutorials on setting up your pages. Gain important customer insights with cool reporting tools. Be aware, however, of the high transaction fees.

Customer Service Support

GoDaddy’s Customer Support Services are pretty much unrivaled by its competitors. They offer 24/7 Phone Support, Live Chat and Email Support. They will even show your wait time to reach one of their expert, knowledgeable staff. A true model for other web-building sites.
