Domain Names:
Domains can only use letters, numbers, and dashes - spaces and symbols aren't allowed. Also, domain names are not case sensitive so MyDomain.com is the same as mydomain.com.

Domain Name Tips

  • Keep it as short as you can, and as memorable and pronounceable as possible.
  • Picture yourself giving the domain over the phone to a customer. Would it be easy to do? Would you have to clarify spellings?
  • Avoid hypens if possible, e.g. edinburgh-web-designs.co.uk. Visitors may omit the hyphens if they are recalling your domain or have been given it verbally, and end up at your competitor's site.

Keyphrases or Branding?

  • "Keyphrase"-targeting domains such as edinburghshortbread.co.uk will benefit your search engine rankings, less so where there is a lot of competition. However, they are less distinctive and memorable.
  • "Branded" domains, e.g. mcewansbiscuits.co.uk can be just as successful as keyphrase domains, and if your brand has a following, people will follow your search engine link.

.co.uk or .com?

  • If you're a business operating locally in the UK (virtually all of our customers), then use a .co.uk domain. They receive weighting in the search engines for local searches, and people looking for local services trust them more.

One of the first things to do as part of the website design process is to decide on a domain name (address on the web) for your website, for example: edinburghwebdesigns.co.uk. This is something you will come to use heavily in communicating with customers, and it's important we get it right.

We will need to consider:

  • Target audience
  • Memorability
  • Pronounceability
  • Appeal
  • Brevity
  • Search engine ranking
