Domain Names. We can help.

 It can help make you more memorable or if it’s too confusing, keep potential visitors from ever finding your site. Here are some tips that can help in selecting a great domain name:

1.Try to select a domain with a .com extension. The majority of web users make the assumption that .com is all that is out there. Don’t make a mistake of losing out on this traffic.

2.Make it easy to type. Complex spelling and use of un-memorable words will hurt your brand and marketing value.

3.Make it easy to remember.

4.Avoid hyphens and numbers. They make your domain hard to describe verbally. Also, don’t spell out numbers as this can be confusing and easily mistaken for one or the other.

5.Don’t use abbreviations or acronyms. This can make your domain harder to remember and doesn’t help build your brand.

6.Think about keywords. Your domain name will effect where you are ranked in search engines for keywords, so use a keyword that people might search for (Church is a great one to include).

7.Keep the names short. Shorter names are easy to remember and type.

Above all, your domain should reflect who you are and be easy to remember. For example, if your church name was New Life Worship Center in Austin, Texas, here would be some good choices for domains, as well as some not-so-good choices:

Good:
theWorshipCenter.com
AustinWorshipCenter.com
YourWorshipCenter.com
YourNewLife.com
NewLifeAustin.com

Not-So-Good:
NLWC.com
Newlifeworshipcenteraustin.com
NLWCTX.com
NewLife-wc.com
