Start with the brand
If the business already has a distinctive name, begin there. Add extra words only when they improve clarity.
Choose a sensible extension
Use an extension customers will understand in context. UK businesses often favour .co.uk, while .com is familiar globally.
Avoid avoidable friction
Long strings, repeated hyphens and confusing spellings create opportunities for mistakes.
Check before you commit
Search for existing companies and trade marks, then check the live domain availability before designing logos or printing materials.
