I have used GoDaddy since I created my first site over 15 years ago. I can’t believe I’ve been working on the internet for that long. I buy and park my domains there and use it for email, hosting, etc. That says something.
Here’s where I was first playing with the site. It was super easy to play around with. This is my right out of the gate work.
Then I switched it up to this. I decided I wanted to brand myself. This way I can use it as a blog, an e-commerce or a website. It’s my choice the direction I take my site in.
I love how it turned out above. This is my go to site for right now. It was so easy to add buttons, insert forms to collect data (hello email list) , add your social media and more. It was as easy as filling in a blank! There was no need to learn html or code! Nice!
It even makes it simple to do your SEO (search engine optimization)for your site. Google ads were just as easy to do too.
Did I mention that you can create an ecommerce store, a blog, a website or whatever your heart desires. Have you been wanting to sell vintage clothing? Do you create great crafts that others yearn for? What’s stopping you? You can create it on a desktop pc or on a mobile device. I didn’t even know that was possible. How cool is that? You can set it up from your phone if that’s what you desire!
I started it one day and played around with it for about 20 minutes. Then the next day I got back on and worked on it about 25 minutes more. Then it was easy to upload my logo, change the theme and my site looks so professional. The uses for this website builder are unlimited. You can post your resume on here and send people to your portfolio. You can create a recipe site or build a store to sell handmade items. When you do this you can be up and running in under an hour. You have great access to support, hosting and even professional email with you site name! So what’s stopping you from building your blog or your site now? Get started and let me see your results! Have you used Go Central Website Builder? What did you think?
This is a finished product of what one of my pages looks like on my blog! I love it! What do you think?

I had a chance to try GoCentral recently and I was blown away by how easy it was to not only get starts but to get signed up. No credit card needed is rare!
That sounds super easy! I am “challenged” when it comes to the back-end of my site, but it sounds like I can handle this 🙂
That is so amazing! When I made my website back in the day, I almost called it quits. It was soooo hard.
That sounds great. HTML – and even some web building tools – can be incredibly confusing. This sounds like it makes things so much easier.
What a gerat tutorial. This would have saved me a lot of time and money a few years ago when I started my blog! Thanks for the info!
I have been considering re-branding or going off in a new direction for awhile now, I will have to give this a go when I am ready to commit and decide what direction I want to go in.
Hmmm….I have considered starting a blog one day and this sounds like a really handy tool because I am so concerned about how to actually do the initial setup!
You make it sound so easy to start up. I am already started so I don’t need this right now. Things must have changed a lot in 15 years you are so experienced.
Lots of great info here. Thought about starting one but didn’t even know where to start. Thanks for all the info.
This is such an easy way to build a site. This is perfect for people who have never worked at site building before but want their own website.
This sounds amazing! So many people blog, but it can be intimidating if you aren’t great with computers. I will have to give this a try for my own blog.
I love GoDaddy! They have been around so long and are so reputable. Thanks for sharing this with us. I look forward to reading more about blogging from you!

It is so much easier to get started in the blogging world than it was when I was getting started. This is great for newbie bloggers.
That’s awesome that there is a free trial. I’m glad to hear it’s easy to set up too.
I have been thinking of starting another blog but I don’t want to go through the tedious work of setting up a template, creating a logo, color theme, etc. I will have to check out this service of Go Daddy. Thanks for your honest review.

I almost miss having a website. The last time I had one, it was a geocities webpage! This is very informative though.
I’ve thought about it before but I never went through with it because it just seemed beyond my technical capabilities. This makes it look so easy!
I applaud anyone who can do this type of work. I am not tech savvy but clearly you are!
This really does seem to make it easy. This kind of thing usually has me baffled.
This seems so helpful and so easy. I haven’t started a blog yet but if I do I will totally try this out. I have never done anything like this so I love that they help and it walks you through the steps!
Having a blog is so time consuming. I had one and its all the liitle details that no one thinks about that drive you crazy.
I will be looking into this! I have been wanting to start a blog really bad but had no idea where to start! Thank you for sharing with us!
Central Website Builder sounds terrific to try. One day when I have time, I would love to have my own blog!

Thank you for sharing all this information on starting up your own Blog. It doesn’t sound to hard to do, but I am unable to do this at this time. My Husband has Parkinsons Disease and I have to keep myself available to him at all times.. I will however let my Granddaughters know about this. Post…..
WOW i thought it would be much much harder than this i will really look into it I’ve been thinking about asking people to get me started but this looks like something i could do myself
