Domain Tip 3: Avoid trademarks

Domains3

Happy February! This month we're focusing on domains, domain buying and the benefits of buying multiple domains. In the mean time, have a look at our new Domains section and make a purchase today, or set up your own free co.cc domain.

3rd Domain Tip: Do not use established trademarks

There are two really good reasons for this. First of all, it’s not the nicest thing to do. Imagine if your multi-million brand name was ripped off too. There are countless stories of people who have thought ahead and bought "the-name-of-an-upcoming-celebrity.com" and sold it on for enough money to retire on. Secondly, remember that those companies have spent lots of time, money and thought creating their brand, and what goes around comes around. Companies are no longer opening their chequebooks to get their names back. They are calling in the lawyers.

It's worth checking whether your proposed domain name is an existing trademark in your jurisdiction, or another country you may soon expand into.

We put our graphics together using...

...many many tools. Most used is Adobe's Photoshop. Then Paint.NET is used for some graphics, Macromedia Fireworks for vectors and Pencil for sketching. Some even start out on paper! Most graphics make use of stock photography that relates to the theme of the project. Let us know if you have any graphics or images that have inspired you for your graphics project.

Tip of the month: MAY

We recommend MailChimp for all your e-mail marketing needs...and for the first 2000 subscribers, its free!

How we construct a site

We use a combination of PHP, SQL, CSS, JavaScript and HTML to weave together the perfect site for you. Our main content management system of choice is Drupal. The software we've found ourselves using the most are Macromedia's Dreamweaver and Programmer's Notepad. Don't hesitate to ask if you want to know more about what these software are capable of.
