GoDaddy Website Builder vs Divi: Which is a better fit?

Tiffany: Hi, my name is Tiffany and I'm the founder of a small business. I give the GoDaddy Website Builder four stars, and for more reviews like this, click below. Before choosing GoDaddy Website Builder, I did go through multiple small business sites to platforms, and found that they were either more expensive for what was available, or that the program didn't really make much sense to me. It didn't seem seamless and easy. I went through the Square site, Wix. Basically what I did was I chose the top 10 small business platforms, and ended up choosing GoDaddy. After reviewing multiple platforms, I did choose the GoDaddy site builder because it was very, very easy to understand, the ease of changing the way it was viewed, and the format was super easy. The loading of information into those particular formats was super easy. It was just super easy. GoDaddy site builder was super easy, very seamless. Choosing the information, the format of the setup, and the different templates. It was just very, very simple. Very, very easy to integrate and choose other programs. And yeah, it was a very seamless process. I really liked GoDaddy and it's seamless process, the templates, everything was very easy. To choose information, to upload it, to change it, to even make minor changes to the format. The only suggestion that I would give to other small business owners that choose GoDaddy is that when you integrate a program like Square Products, or something like that, it's very difficult to change prices and fluctuation sizes and this and that, without pulling it out and re-uploading that information in. So just be aware of that. If it's something you don't change prices on a lot, you should be great. But if you do need to change prices, it's a little bit more... It's still very doable, but a little bit more difficult, particularly with Square, which is what I had used.

Joel: Hi, my name is Joel. I'm the pastor of a growing church called Pentecostal Lighthouse Church in Ajax, Ontario, and I give Divi a five out of five rating. We switched from using Squarespace to run our website platform. We were really trying to use something that was easy to navigate and edit on the fly without knowing a lot of backend code. So we ended up switching from Squarespace to Divi based on the cost. We chose Divi because there was, A, lot more cost savings. Squarespace was raising its prices to the point where it was getting too much to navigate on a monthly basis. And then, we loved the flexibility of Divi. It gave us a little bit more customization than we had with Squarespace. Onboarding with Divi was a little bit more of a curve, learning curve than it was with Squarespace. There was a little bit more of learning the how things work. Thankfully, we had someone walking us through it, so there was some great tutorials available online, which helped a lot. And also, we had an expert graphic designer who had used Divi before, and he helped us navigate some of the challenges that we had. So onboarding it was a little bit more laborious than it was with Squarespace, but the end result is better. My recommendation, if you're considering using Divi, is find someone who's used it before. They are super helpful in walking you through some of the learning curve issues. If you don't have that ability, really lean heavily into their training videos. Take the time. I know a lot of times you just want to get it up and get it going, but do take the time to invest in your learning the back end so that you can use it to its full extent.
