According to the press release, users with little technical expertise can easily “design a professional website in just under an hour, even on a smartphone or a tablet.” This is extremely useful since you are able to build it on-the-go. Like many other website builders, the GoDaddy’s version also has a range of almost-ready templates for you to choose from.

Don’t worry if you do not have images on hand to make your websites more attractive because GoDaddy has you covered with a huge library of incredible photos thanks to their partnership with GettyImages.

With “smart algorithms and machine learning”, users will expect “helpful suggestions for optimising customer engagement and generating results.”

Steven Aldrich, Chief Product Officer, GoDaddy said that the GoDaddy’s Website Builder will help business owners to reduce the time spent focusing on designing a website so that they can focus on generating revenue.
