Do Your Homework

Decide the purpose: When considering a website for your business or organization, start by thinking what purpose you want your website to serve. Also see the "Why Build?" page for more ideas.

• Do you want to use as a communication tool or information base that is available 24/7?
  
• Do you want to sell your products or services online or direct customers to your established sales process using the phone, mail, or fax?
  
• Know your audience — will they use the web to find your business or conduct business with you? What do they want online?
  
• Does your competition use the web? If so, how?

How do you plan to promote your website? Is your company name easy to remember or type or say if verbally directing people to your website? The domain name is the text typed into the web browser and ends with dot com, org, or net, for instance - nealresources.com

• Generate ideas for possible domain names. You can have more than one and direct it to the same web address (URL) or to special sections of your website.
  
• Do you have a product name that would be a better avenue for a domain name?
  
• How easily can you market your domain name?
• Will it fit on business cards, brochures or other marketing tools?

Review the Have Domain page for more domain details.
