CHOOSE YOUR DOMAIN


If you’re thinking of starting up online, or creating a new blog, finding a memorable name can be a great way of boosting your chances of success. But, choosing one can be really tricky. It’s one of the most difficult steps in getting started.

There are a lot of things to consider and it can feel overwhelming, so here are some tips to make it easier. After all, your website is the face of your business online. We’ll cover the following topics:


  • Make it memorable
  • Make it short
  • Make it easy to spell
  • Avoid hyphens
  • Avoid trademarked names
  • Include relevant keywords

All of the factors we’ve discussed should be considered when choosing your domain name.  Based on your situation you may disregard some to focus on others, and that’s fine.  These factors will help you make the best choice for your business from the available options.


CHOOSE YOUR HOST



Determining Your Needs

Look at your current website. When choosing a web host, always try to keep the future in mind and plan accordingly.

Security

Make sure that your host has security measures in place to protect your online asset.


Website Backups

Does your host offer backups of your website?  Most do NOT.  For the record, we do.

Technical Capability

It’s important that your host is capable of handling the technical capabilities of your business needs.

WEBSITE DESIGN



Planning

The planning stage is arguably the most important, because what’s decided and mapped here sets the stage for the entire project.

Design

The design stage typically involves moving the information outlined in the planning stage further into reality. The main deliverable is a visual representation.


Development

Development involves the bulk of the programming work, as well as loading content (whether by your team or the client’s).

Launch

The purpose of the launch phase is to prepare the website for public viewing. This requires final polishing of design elements and most of all, a consideration of the user experience.
