Here’s an easy tip for making your current website address easier to read and remember. This tip will make your website address more effective when you are listing it on brochures, business cards, fax cover sheets, etc. Most website addresses have multiple words or elements. Capitalize the first letter of each word and type the other letters in lower case.
Example:
Hard to read: www.legacyhospicecare.org
Easier to read: www.LegacyHospiceCare.org
When we implement this tidbit for clients, clients often ask us to “correct” it. They are afraid the address won’t work with capitals (i.e. it is case sensitive). Domain names were case sensitive a long time ago (perhaps 30 years ago). Domain names are no longer case sensitive at all. Try it out with your website address. You can type every other letter in capitals, and the domain name will still work.
Caution: Just because domain names are no longer case sensitive does not mean that website addresses are no longer case sensitive. Website addresses that include specific folder or file names remain case sensitive. The domain name is that bit that begins with www. and ends with .com, .org or dot something. However, you may occasionally want to specify a specific page on your website (e.g. “Check out our online referral form at www.LegacyHospiceCare.org/Referral-Form.html“). You can capitalize the part before the “/” any way you want, but the capitalization must be exactly right for ever part after the forward slash (“/”).
