Importance of Right Domain Name
Choosing a name for your website is as important as choosing a name for your child. You want to choose something that is right for your website, something that will reflect the type of website that you have. Unfortunately with there being so many websites , you can’t always get what you want. If you want something with three letters you can almost forget it , those domain names are almost taken. You really have to come up with something interesting and fresh to get it registered but you want something that will catch the users eye. You want something catchy and memorable. If the name you want is taken then maybe you can do a play on words. Substitute a letter for another but make it easy to remember. Try to use a name that reflects what your site is about . If you have a baby name website then make sure that the name of the site has the word baby in it. Domain names should be creative but they should be remember able as well. Most people won’t remember a long name, if the name is a convoluted name. For example, if you choose a name like fantastically simple baby names .com, it could be hard to remember. You can keep it short to simple baby names .com. Keep it simple and keep it to the point. You also don’t want to have name like stuff411. You want the user to be able to know exactly what type of site they will be accessing. It may take some time to come up with the perfect name. Once you do and it is available then buy it before someone else does. It is a fast paced world out there in the name of domains, you have to be quicker than everyone else. Popularity: 8%

Why is Web Design So Important
When you start creating a website the first thing people notice is the web design. Not the content or the products, they are going to notice whether or not the site is a professional looking site or a mess. Everyone at one time or another has gone through a search engine to get the result of a site and more often then not you will click on the first site you see. Sometimes these sites come up really fast and they look great, they have a nice clean look. But there are other times when these sites take forever to load and that is if they actually load. Then when you get there is site is horrible looking and you cannot find anything you are looking for. Now, the question is do you want to go to a site that ranked high in the search engines and the site looks like a 5 year old put it together or would you rather use a site that is maybe number 3 or 4 in te results but the site is clean and the site map is great. 95 % of people would rather use te site that is ranked third or fourth. What most people want to see when they come online is a webiste that can give them what they want and that is where web design comes in. Only a small percentage of people believe that a number # 1 ranked website is the best choice no matter what the site looks like. If you have a great web designer who can create a nice smooth ,easy to use site and when users come they want to be able to find what they want. If you can achieve this then the web designer has done his job. Popularity: 7%
