3. Go daddy was founded in 1997.

4. Go daddy is a closely held company that registers internet domains , agreed to be bought by private equity firms . The company headquarters was located in Scotland until April 2021 when then moved to Tempe. In Jan 2020 , it unveiled a new logo with a simple , sans-serif type accompanied by a heart shaped design that spells out "GO". 

5.    Its one of the largest web host on the planet
      You can buy shares in Go Daddy
      Your domain may be stolen if you forget to renew it.

6.     There are restoration fees.
        There is no live chat support
        The internal speeds of GoDaddy are not always the       best.

7.  GoDaddy is best recognized as the world's largest domain       registrar, a reputation earned over the company's 20+ years in operation. WordPress, on the other hand, is most known for its free open-source platform, which is used to power millions of websites and blogs around the world. GoDaddy is easier and better considering that it has a fantastic hosting deal, especially for first-timers and small business owners, and it comes at a pretty good price.

Compare your web builder vs Wordpress. Which one is better or easier to use and why
-WordPress is Open Source, Duda is a Website Builder. 
-Duda is a DIY website builder, which has a convenient drag-and-drop editor, multiple design customisation features and lots of one-of-a-kind parameters. WordPress is the obvious leader in the professional web design function. Wordpress is better over all; because Duda is for beginners and WordPress is for all beginners and to professional users.

3. Weebly was founded in 2006
4. Weebly is a content management system that has blogging and ecommerce features. Weebly is used for building standard websites or specialized webpages for online stores.
The most common users of Weebly are from Small Businesses and the Marketing and Advertising industry.
5. Weebly is best known for being an affordable web building site that is constantly improving and adding new features. It is known for its many template options for people to use that may be beginners to web building. Weebly is also known for having a strong support community to solve problems and find ideas.
6. Weebly has a few limitations. One of it's limitations is the mobile app doesn't have much on it or capability so it's considered almost worthless. Another limitation is the only way to insert a document is using Scribd which shows the branding and is not easy to view. Another limitation is there are very few themes to choose from and if you change the theme items can become misplaced and distorted. 
7. When comparing Weebly to Word Press Weebly is considered to be simpler to use while Wordpress may take some exterior knowledge to properly and efficiently function. Weebly offers you 4 premium plans, ranging from $5 to $45 per month (pricing based on 2 year plans. While with WordPress, you will have to pay for your own hosting service which costs around $7 per month.
 Word press also has more templates then Weebly which is important for some people to be able to find the best way. In my groups opinion Weebly is better for beginners possibly running a social media page whereas Wordpress may be better for business's. ]]> 2022-03-15 19:44:16 UTC https://padlet.com/tamara_vaughan78/ljrcg58596t37n0o/wish/2096682591 Squarespace part0060 https://padlet.com/tamara_vaughan78/ljrcg58596t37n0o/wish/2096683451 Patrick: #4 & #3 - Researcher

3. Squarespace was founded in 2004

4. A user friendly and simply designed website full of templates built off of user input. It caries a diverse range of styles and uses for a website designed for both desktop and mobile use. The Website has a curated and easy to use menu by which users are able to define select options which best suit the needs of the user for the website they plan to create

5. a) Stunning templates optimized for desktops, tablets and mobile devices
b) Excellent marketing features, including email and social media support – perfect for business growth
c) The best help and support out of all the rest of web builders.

6. a) Doesn’t give full customizability – you’ll only be able to customize within your template’s preset rows
b) The editor can be a little too manual – for example, you’ll be prompted to save your work after each change, but it doesn’t autosave on its own
c) There is no phone support.

7. WordPress is known for its powerful SEO capabilities, Squarespace prides itself on having more built-in features. By installing SEO plugins on WordPress, you can call on powerful tools like Yoast. But if you want built-in features and much less work, then Squarespace is the better choice.

* Squarespace Biography: Anthony Casalena founded Squarespace as a blog hosting service while attending the University of Maryland, College Park. He was its only employee until 2006 when it reached $1 million in revenue. The company grew from 30 employees in 2010 to 550 by 2015.]]> 2022-03-15 19:44:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tamara_vaughan78/ljrcg58596t37n0o/wish/2096683451 Shopify https://padlet.com/tamara_vaughan78/ljrcg58596t37n0o/wish/2096684268 Team members: Sheel Nunkoo (Writer & Researcher), Umang Khatkar (Researcher), Victoria Huggard (Researcher) & Sogand Najafi (Researcher & Presenter)

3. Shopify was officially launched in 2006.

4. Shopify is where you get to create and customize your brand. its easy set up, shipping, and billing. You just add your products and pick the plan that best suits you. you’re also able to market your business with easy to use tools.

5. 
a) Seamless integration with Google Ads
b) Integration with top payment providers
c) Tracking and maintaining customer data

6. Limitations: 
a) Shopify doesn’t offer a mobile shopping app solution.
b) Hard to get returns and refunds
c) Limits in product variations

7. Shopify is the easier platform to use as compared to WordPress. This is because Shopify's main audience is comprised of people who lack web development skills and budget to hire a professional to build their store. 

It is difficult to say which is better since both platforms cater for different audiences with different skill levels and budgets.

3.  Founded and launched on May 27, 2003

4. WordPress is a factory that makes webpages. It is a core analogy designed to clarify the functions of WordPress: it stores content and enables a user to create and publish webpages, requiring nothing beyond a domain and a hosting service.

 WordPress has a web template system using a template processor. Its architecture is a front controller, routing all requests for non-static URIs to a single PHP file which parses the URI and identifies the target page. This allows support for more human-readable permalinks.

5. Because it's an easy platform to use, flexible enough to make different types of websites and it has evolved into a powerful website builder and a robust content management system (CMS).

6. You need lots of plugins for additional features.  Slow page speed/platform.  Like many websites there is vulnerability such as getting hacked or spammed.

7. Closest competitor to WordPress would be squarespace because setting up a website is easier and faster and it is much easier to navigate.  Both Squarespace  and WordPress have drag-and-drop editor but Squarespace’s editor shows your complete website while WordPress does not.

8. Harshil is stoked to be presenting!!!
