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:

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.

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 our team or by yourself).

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.
