Why I Choose GoDaddy

Go Daddy Go (Photo credit: plums_deify)

You may know that I am a reseller for GoDaddy. Hey, I’m a sucker for good customer service and with GoDaddy, I have never had a problem with this. I push their Web hosting, domain name search, and numerous other products. I do this until I can add my own Web site and Web development services. Right now, I am in the process of building my own dynamic site to upload to the GoDaddy network. I think they have a good CMS system but as a developer, I believe it needs more options. For instance, a way to incorporate a jQuery slider would be ideal. I have built the entire site on GoDaddy’s CMS so far using only tables. It’s a perfect example of a static site: easy navigation, aesthetically pleasing, and informative to users. Okay, so what’s the problem? Options. As a developer, I need the freedom to use my creativity and skills to add dynamic features. What GoDaddy offers is great for beginners to Web design because of ease of use. Granted, I am not a fan of “all the bells and whistles” or “flashy” sites, but I would like the ability to incorporate a number of dynamic features. I encourage you all to check out the site and tell me what you think.

I believe when running a business that honesty is always the best policy. I have been with GoDaddy for a little over a year and think that their hosting and products are a good deal. Later, I will add my own custom made templates and sell my Web development skills to small business, personal blogs, schools, and non profit organizations, etc., and use GoDaddy only for their domain name and hosting abilities. For now, do not hesitate to check out the site and start your blog with me. I am here at anytime to answer your questions and help you make the transition.

Examples of the tables and coding I have added to the site:

**My peeves with GoDaddy is that sometimes my widgets cannot be loaded. By this, I mean my Recent Tweets. I like to display this so customers can see various tweets and responses to those tweets.

Update: I redesigned the site using a ready-made-template. I at first uploaded Joomla to work with but felt more comfortable using my skills in WordPress. The site is now easy to navigate while visually pleasing.
