Web sites for startups

If you are thinking of starting a business then you may have put having a web site into the category of "I'll do that later when I'm up and running". To find out why that could be a big mistake continue reading below.

Domain names

various domain name extensions

At the very least we would argue that you must consider registering a domain name for your business.

We would always recommend that you get your own domain name for the following reasons:

  • Having your own domain name means you can have an email address related to that domain rather than a more generic one such as mynewbusiness@gmail.com;
  • If you don't register your domain name then someone else might;
  • It really doesn't cost much to have a domain name.

Choosing a domain name early on means that your business cards, stationery, and other branded material won't need changing at a later date.

To talk through the various options for domain names, and how you can register one, give us a call.
