Choose a domain name (and similar variations) that are easy to remember


Choosing a domain name for your website is hard. There are millions of options and it can be difficult to know which one will work best. Our team at SAASY CLOUD has been helping people with this problem for quite some time, so we've got some experience in the matter! We'd love to share our expertise on the subject of choosing a good domain name with you today.


The key to finding a great domain is thinking about what makes your business unique or memorable. You want something that's short, easy to spell, and easy to remember. If possible, try using an existing word from your title or product descriptions as part of your site address (e.g., if you're selling wedding dresses online then "weddingdresses" would be a nice option). This way potential customers can easily find you when they search Google or another search engine by typing in keywords related to what you offer.


Include links to social media sites where people can connect with you, such as Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter


People want to connect with you, but they don't know how.


It's not enough to have a great product or service - people need to hear about it if you expect them to buy from you. 


Use social media marketing software like SocialPilot, Hootsuite or Buffer and get more exposure on the social web for your business. These tools make it easy for anyone in your company to manage all of your social accounts without needing any technical knowledge or experience. You can schedule posts across multiple platforms including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram at the same time so that each platform gets an equal share of attention throughout the day. This way no one will forget about you!


Make sure your website design is user-friendly by including clear navigation and text size options for different devices (large desktop, tablet, phone)


We've all visited a website that was hard to use, with confusing navigation and tiny text. These websites make visitors frustrated and leave them feeling like they wasted their time on your site.


Studies show that users spend less than 10 seconds looking at each page of your site before deciding whether or not it's worth continuing to explore. If you want people to stick around, then you need to make sure that your website is easy-to-use.


Make sure that your web design has clear navigation options (menus) and large text for mobile devices so everyone can easily read the information on your pages regardless of what device they are using. This will help ensure that visitors stay engaged with your content instead of leaving because it's too difficult or frustrating to navigate through the pages on their phone or tablet screen size.


Add testimonials from your satisfied customers who are eager to share their experience with potential clients


When people visit your website, they want to know that you can deliver on your promises.


You need social proof and testimonials from happy clients who will say great things about you and your company. 


Add real customer reviews and comments to most if not all of the pages of your website. People visiting your site will be able to see what others think about working with you. This is an essential marketing strategy for growing businesses – adding customer testimonials increases conversions by up to 94%.


What is the purpose of your website--to sell products, to provide information, or both


Who are you trying to reach with your site--people in a certain location


Local SEO is important


If you're not ranking on the first page of Google, then your business may as well not exist to most people. 


Our SEO goal is to help you rank for the keywords that matter in your area so that more customers find you online. Creating a beautiful website design using modern web development techniques to make sure it's easy for users to navigate around your site and find what they need quickly, which will keep them coming back again and again.


How will you be securing your site, especially if collecting sensitive financial data


Hackers are everywhere, and they're getting better at breaking into websites. 


It's not just you. There have been over 1 million website hacks in the last year alone! And it can happen to anyone, even big brands like Equifax and Yahoo!


We've got your back with our top-of-the-line security that protects your website from hackers 24/7. That means no more worrying about being hacked or losing customer data because of a breach. We are available around the clock to help you monitor your site for any suspicious activity, so if anything goes wrong we'll be there to fix it before any damage is done. 


How much time do you want to spend on designing and maintaining the site; what features are most important for you 


Do you want an eCommerce store (an online shop where customers can buy products) on your site; if so, how will payments be handled (credit cards only?, PayPal?)


You're tired of having to deal with credit card and paypal transactions for your ecommerce store. It's a hassle, and you don't want to have to worry about it anymore! Imagine having an ecommerce store that automatically handles all the payment processing so you can focus on what matters most - growing your business.


With our easy-to-use online shopping cart software, you'll be able to accept payments from any major credit cards or PayPal accounts without worrying about security issues or complicated setup procedures. Our secure transaction system is PCI compliant, which means that we meet the highest standards in data protection required by Visa, MasterCard and other leading financial institutions worldwide. 


Will there be any interactive elements on the site-video presentations/commenting section/etc.?
