Hi Guys,

I am going to start a web design company. I am really confused about what to name it.

I have listed down some probable names that sound good.

Pick the best one.

(YOU ARE MOST WELCOME TO SUGGEST NEW NAMES)

1. Digiweb
2. Web Crystal
3. Mindmap
4. CloudNine
5. Dreamlogic
6. Rainbow7
7. SilverLine
8. Crimson
9. Virtual Pixel
10. Expro

thanks in advance.

Did you say, "a web design company?"

The first two mention the word "web" at least.

The second might work.

But remember, the only value of a name is advertising!

Try asking ten people to identify what a particular business does. Then say, "Rainbow7." See if anyone guesses web design.

It is possible over time to build name recognition for anything. "Google" for example, or "Amazon." But it is work. And probably expensive.

BeautifulWebsiteDesigns dot com is not used, but a name like Beautiful Website Designs would be preferrable even if it was not your domain name as such.

Hm... I think Digiweb sounds the best.

use #1 or #2, it helps you in SERP as it contains 'web

I guess I was thinking he was going to add "Web Design" or something to the end of some of these, like CloudNine Web Design. It even rhymes.

OK, Laura. That makes sense, and even sounds pretty good.

After you point it out it even appears obvious. Kind of like some of my coding errors. After I find them I wonder why I didn't see them in the first place.

Well, I don't know that he was going to add those words, just assuming. Which I should not do. Maybe he will come back and update us.

Laura is right,
Even if the name doesn't contain the word "web", I will add something like "Web Solutions" or "web developers".

What I thought was, all great companies have names that have no meaning: Verizon, Vodafone, Microsoft, etc.
I want to use a single word as name and something that sounds professional.
I will be happy if you provide more inputs.

Thanks for suggesting.

Have you checked to see if the domain names are available first? Can tell you that the .com has gone for every one of those names. If i am going to choose a name for a business I would buy all the relevant extensions for the business name else it will become confusing for your customers, when they are searching for you online. I like number 4 then 1 from the list.

You mean great companies like Burger King, Taco Bell, WalMart, Home Depot, Fox News, General Motors, ...

Most people do seek names that folks can remember and that sound attractive for one reason or another. But just remember, almost every one of those meaningless names were made meaningful by hugely expensive advertising budgets.

But if you can use a full name like "Cloud 9 Web Design" you could use the short version of "Cloud 9" a certain percentage of the time and try to develop that as your name. That particular one would be difficult, however (as would many others), because there are already many companies with that as part of their name. So if you just wrote "Cloud 9" somewhere people might very logically think of someone else.

If you want a meaningless name to become useful you have to come up with something no one else has and promote it until well recognized or use one others have in somewhat non-related businesses and promote it to the number one recognition through advertising.

Note: There is already a Cloud 9 Web Design and a Cloud Nine Web Design so that one would not really be an available choice. You have to research any name before using it.

Choosing a name is a challenge for any business. You are not wasting your time thinking it through carefully.
