HostGator

Gator Builder has multiple features that help it stand out from the competition. 

Drag and drop builder

The drag and drop builder allows you to quickly add elements to our website and rearrange them until you have the look you want. There are multiple elements such as buttons, forms, maps, music, etc. All you have to do is choose the ones that work best for your website. 

Templates

The Gator Builder comes with over 200 templates that are ideal for a variety of use cases such as blogging, small business, eCommerce, your portfolio, and more. The templates lean to the basic side but you can completely customize them to meet your needs. This includes adding and removing elements as you see fit. Editing can be done separately on desktop and mobile to ensure you get the right look and feel. Unfortunately, once you’ve chosen a template and started building your website, you’re unable to change to a different one without starting over. 

Unlike many other website builders, it doesn’t impose limits on storage and your bandwidth is unmetered. It supports unlimited website pages, free domain for the first year, and social media tools. 

eCommerce functionality 

The eCommerce tools available on the platform take user experience into consideration and allow you to quickly set up a store and start taking payments. It comes with the ability to track and manage inventory, calculate shipping fees and tax in real-time, and issue coupons to potential customers. 

Clear website analytics

Without analytics, you have no idea what’s happening on your website, where you’re doing well, and what can be improved. Gator provides website analytics in an easy-to-understand format so you can do more of what works and stop what isn’t helping. 

Social media feed

Direct integrations with major social platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram allow you to show activity feeds from those social platforms. You’re able to grow followers and improve engagement with minimal effort.
