Even the best ideas fall flat if they fail to gain traction online. As the champion of a great idea — whether it’s a business, a hobby, or a social movement — you’re the one who needs to get it online and get it the attention it deserves. But depending on your background, the prospect of building and marketing a website might be downright terrifying.
For people with little to no website-building or marketing experience, launching and promoting a great idea online just got a lot easier.
Introducing GoDaddy's New Website Builder
With GoDaddy's New Website Builder, anyone can create a professional website in no time flat. In fact, thousands of our users have published their sites in less than an hour. And not only does our New Website Builder help you build a website that looks fantastic, but it also helps you engage with new people via Google, Facebook and other social networks.
Our New Website Builder is for small business owners, dreamers and schemers who want to connect online with people who will benefit from their products, services and ideas.
If your new website is published in an empty digital forest, will anyone, er, notice its arrival? Probably not.
You need to be intentional about bringing traffic to your new website. If “search engine optimization” sounds like a foreign language, you’ll want to introduce your idea to the internet with an all-inclusive website builder that goes beyond attractive templates.
Other website-building tools can help you create a nice-looking site, but GoDaddy is kicking things up a notch.
GoDaddy's New Website Builder is fully integrated with marketing and eCommerce tools.
So as your business or idea grows, this website builder grows with you. Start with a simple site now and add new capabilities — like email marketing or an online store — when you’re ready.
As a New Website Builder user, you’ll always have the tools you need to thrive online and IRL (that’s apparently how the kids write “in real life” these days).
Build a professional website in less than an hour — no technical skills required
At GoDaddy, our vision is to radically shift the global economy toward life-fulfilling independent ventures. So whether you run a small business or have an exciting new idea to share with the world, we get you. You’re big on energy but short on time. Our New Website Builder is specifically designed for people just like you.
Designs tailored to your idea or industry
Tell us the name of your site and the nature of your idea or business, and we’ll suggest relevant site features, content and images. Then make it your own by customizing the site features and adding your own photos and content.
Thousands of professional images
With a free library of professional photography, your website will always reflect your expertise and passion. Have your own photos? You can upload those, too — even from your phone.
Swipe-to-style editing
With the New Website Builder editor, you can change the layout of your site with a single swipe, allowing you to experiment with a variety of intuitive website designs.
We call it swipe-to-style; you might call it magic.
And if you prefer to drag and drop individual sections to customize your design, you have the creative license to do so.
Mix-and-match sections
Customize each of your website’s pages by mixing and matching content sections to suit your needs. Your design is guaranteed to look good no matter which sections you choose. And as your needs change, you can always add new features. When you’re ready to add an email signup form, a calendar of events, or a video, it’s easy to update your website.
Foolproof colors and fonts
Create a professional website — no design skills required. Our design professionals have selected styles, colors and fonts that coordinate beautifully, so you’ll look good no matter which you choose.
Domain flexibility
Release your new website into the world with a memorable web address that reflects your brand or personality (e.g., mycoolsite.com). Not ready? Publish with your own subdomain on godaddysites.com (e.g., mycoolsite.godaddysites.com) now and add a custom domain later.
Publish website updates to Google, Facebook, email & more
“Marketing” may not be your middle name, but if you’re going to invest in a website, you need to put some marketing power behind it. With the New Website Builder, you get baked-in marketing features that help you show up in search results, connect with people on social media and drive repeat traffic. When you make changes to your website, the New Website Builder saves you time by automatically updating your online marketing presence for you.
Google rankings
Help more people find you when they search online. This site builder automatically optimizes your website for search engines like Google, Yahoo! and Bing. Your site’s search engine rankings can have a huge effect on your business.
Facebook page
With more than one billion daily active Facebook users worldwide, having a well-maintained business Facebook page is critical to building your online presence. The New Website Builder makes it easy to update an existing Facebook page or create a new one with the information and photos on your website.
Email marketing
Start building an email list by adding a Subscribe Now section to your website. Then use our built-in email marketing tool to send email campaigns that drive repeat traffic and help you build a following.
New Website Builder automatically creates eye-catching emails designed to match your website.
You can manage multiple email lists, track campaign results, and more.
Update your site anytime from your phone, tablet and computer
Keep your website up to date from the bus, the coffee shop, or your sofa. With our mobile editor, you can update your website anytime, anywhere. Customize your site design, upload new photos, and change content from your phone or tablet — no app required.
