Company domain name
For every company it is interesting to set up a website with a domain name. To attract more public to your services, to offer new services over the Internet or simply to inform. A website can be an incredibly important addition for any business. Let's cover all the benefits of a domain name, website and mail address.
A business you can just start, or have been running for years. A website can become a new source of revenue, leads and name distribution for any business. For any business it is important to have a domain name with a website. But also an email address that ends in your domain name.
What is a domain name?
A domain name is the way people can find you on the Internet. Just like the address of your company. A domain name forms a logical name that people can remember. A domain name allows people to easily navigate to a website, rather than using an IP address.
It is important to register a domain name that is the same as your company name or trade name. This way you can protect your corporate identity and ensure that competitors cannot use it. A domain name can end in many different extensions. Or the familiar .nl .com or .eu. These extensions are important to think about. If you are only going to offer your services in Dutch then a .nl domain name is the logical choice. Your website will be more relevant in Dutch search results, which increases your position in search engines. And Dutch people looking for information will also click through to a .nl domain name faster than other alternatives.
A .com domain name is relevant if your company offers services on a global basis. The main language of .com websites is English and they can have a broad scope. From an international software product to offering services all over the world. Other domain names such as .be or other country extensions can be applied where appropriate.
Offer new or old services on your website
The beauty of a website is that you can highlight old services or existing services in a new way. By using a website as an extended business card or launching your new idea. A website can represent your own vision. With a website you can do anything, from offering your services to highlighting your products or information.
A website purely as a portfolio, or as an addition to existing services.
Your website can be as you want it to be, but what are some examples you can take to make your website a success? A small example of what kind of website you can make are for example:
A stunning portfolio website
With a great portfolio website you can showcase your latest projects and clients. So of course you can convince your clients to use your services. Think of a photography site or of course a collection of completed projects.
An informative website that convinces
Most business websites will fall under this category. With clear information about what your company stands for, what you do and how you can be reached. These types of websites are often appropriate for service industries and similar. You can also take this further by adding a portfolio of completed projects. Or starting a blog on the website. A blog gives you the opportunity to reach new customers and create more authority.
A webshop to offer your products digitally as well
