We love it

• Intuitive interface: Thanks to easy-to-use templates and 24/7 customer service, our lab analysts and consumer testers have the ease of building a website, no graphic design skills or designers required! One tester commented, “I love having a one-stop shop to get my domain, build my website, integrate products and payments, and handle my marketing all together!”
• Myriad Design offers: With hundreds of high quality design templates to choose from, there is something for everyone and every business. A budding entrepreneur who reviewed our service said that the website had several templates to suit her taste, and once she chose one, she was able to customize her website quickly.
• Amazing Business Tools: In our lab testing, we were impressed by the one-stop shop’s dashboard for listing products on their online store. In addition Big marketplaces like Amazon, Etsy, Facebook, Google Shopping and more. Testers expressed how excited they were to have the ability to reach such a wide audience so quickly. GoDaddy Commerce allows brands to not only sell their products and services, but also manage catalogs, inventory and orders in one central location. Testers who have used GoDaddy Payments appreciate the low card transaction fees.
• Effective Marketing Skills: Being able to send email marketing campaigns and use SEO (Search Engine Optimization) tools was a nice bonus for many of our testers who used a third party to use these types of services. There are also great benefits to creating custom branded content and building shoppable social posts, helping to elevate a budding brand.
