How to Add User Feedback, Roadmaps & Changelogs to Your GoDaddy Website Builder Site with UserJot

Want to gather customer ideas, share your product plans, or announce updates directly on your GoDaddy Website Builder website? This guide shows you how to connect UserJot features like feedback boards, roadmaps, and changelogs to your GoDaddy site using simple links.

Why Connect UserJot to Your GoDaddy Site?

Connecting UserJot to your GoDaddy website provides dedicated spaces for user interaction. You can create a feedback board to collect user suggestions and votes, display your product roadmap to show what’s coming next, and publish updates about new features or changes. This helps keep your audience informed and engaged with your product’s development directly from your GoDaddy site.

Setting Up Your UserJot Boards

Before adding links to GoDaddy, you need your UserJot spaces ready.

  1. Create a UserJot Account: If you haven’t already, sign up at UserJot. A basic project with starter boards is created automatically. Follow the getting started guide for initial setup.
  2. Find Your UserJot URLs: UserJot hosts your feedback board, roadmap, and updates page at unique URLs.
    • If using a UserJot subdomain, your links will look like https://yourproject.userjot.com/, https://yourproject.userjot.com/roadmap, and https://yourproject.userjot.com/updates.
    • If you’ve set up a custom domain, your links will use that, such as https://feedback.yourdomain.com/, https://feedback.yourdomain.com/roadmap, and https://feedback.yourdomain.com/updates.
  3. Prepare Your Links: Copy the specific URLs for the UserJot pages you want to link from your GoDaddy site. See examples in the adding links guide.

GoDaddy Website Builder makes adding external links straightforward, often in the site footer or navigation menu.

  1. Log in to GoDaddy: Access your GoDaddy account and open the Website Builder for the site you want to edit.
  2. Edit Footer or Header: Navigate to the section where you want to add the links. The footer is a common place for feedback or roadmap links. Click within the footer (or header/navigation area) to open its editing options.
  3. Add or Edit Text:
    • New Link: Add a new text block or button element where you want the link to appear.
    • Existing Text: Select the text you want to turn into a link (e.g., “Share Feedback”, “View Roadmap”, “Latest Updates”).
  4. Insert the Link: Look for a link icon (usually looks like a chain) in the text editing toolbar. Click it.
  5. Configure the Link:
    • In the link options, choose “Website URL” or similar.
    • Paste the UserJot URL (e.g., https://yourproject.userjot.com/ or https://feedback.yourdomain.com/roadmap) into the URL field.
    • Consider checking the box to “Open link in new window” so visitors don’t navigate away from your main site.
    • Confirm or save the link.
  6. Repeat for Other Links: Add links for your roadmap and changelog/updates page following the same steps.
  7. Publish Changes: Once you’ve added your links, preview your site. When satisfied, publish the changes to make the UserJot links live on your GoDaddy website.

Matching UserJot to Your Site Design

For a more integrated feel, customize UserJot’s appearance.

  • Use UserJot’s branding options to change the project name, upload your logo and favicon, and set a primary color that matches your GoDaddy site’s design.
  • Consider setting up a custom domain (e.g., feedback.yourdomain.com) for a fully branded experience.
