Went in for a meeting with a client for a web design project. The client insisted I use the GoDaddy Website Builder for this project 😳🙁

    @RedDev112 they're a long term client of mine which is why I won't reject them. And I don't want to take advantage of them. What do I even charge for a Website Builder? :S

    @uziiuzair You can explain to them that you will gladly use it, but because you don't normally use it for your client projects, it will cost you more time to build a website for them using it VS. xyz cms/framework, and as such they will have a larger bill to pay.

    Some clients will then change their tune. Otherwise just bill them more for the inconvenience.

    Either way a win.

    @masterbetty haha okay. I'll discuss this in the next meeting. Going to request a demo from GoDaddy because I don't want to pay even a penny for their service/ haha

    @uziiuzair There is also some limitations to it which you could always point out(depending on brief), or the best is to mention it's not as SEO friendly as xyz platform. This normally gets clients to rethink things.

    Either way, good luck to you sir!
