Good web design business names are short, easy to spell aloud and free as a domain: a building word like Joist Web, a clear service name like Rhodes Web Design & Build, or a pun like Site for Sore Eyes. Name your business with this Web Design Name Generator: for freelance web designers, web developers and web design agencies. Pick a style and what you do, or add your first name or town.
Eight good web design business names
All eight came from the generator:
- Above the Fold Web Co.: the newspaper term for what you see first, used on the web too.
- Site for Sore Eyes: a pun on sight for sore eyes.
- Bookmarked Web Design Co.: what every client wants their site to be.
- Joist Web: a building word: sites are built, like houses.
- Hinge Websites: short, solid and easy to spell.
- Kestrel Digital: a bird with sharp eyes, for a modern studio.
- Rhodes Web Design & Build: a surname and a full description of the job.
- Sarah Builds Websites: plain and personal for a freelancer.
How web designers name themselves
Your own website is the first thing clients judge, and the domain has to match the name, so short wins. Building words work well (joist, hinge, beam, brick), because a website is built, and so do web terms that clients half-know: above the fold, bookmarked, site lines. Avoid hyphens and odd spellings, which are hard to say on the phone.
The last word says what you do: Web Design for the look, Web Development or Digital for the build, and Websites for small businesses that just want one that works. Choose design or development and the generator adjusts its words.
Check it's free before you print the sign
Every name here has a Check button, which opens the Business Name Checker: it looks up domains, social handles, the company register and trade mark searches in one place. Before you order signs or cards:
- Company register. In the UK, search Companies House; a limited company's name can't be the same as one already registered. In the US, search your state's business register.
- Trade marks. Search the UK Intellectual Property Office or the USPTO for marks in your line of work. Registering a company doesn't give you trade mark rights.
- Domain and handles. Try the .co.uk or .com and the main social handles at the same time, and adjust the name rather than settle for a messy handle.
- Local search. Look the name up with your town, as two similar firms a few miles apart confuse clients and reviews.
