 I was told that my co.name is too long for a .com. Would it be ok to use a diff .com than my co.name? It would cost too much to change company name and it would be like starting over.  Also, are there proof readers for websites?  I want it to look and sound appealing but I don`t have the flair and there`ll always be the doubt that I could`ve done better.

I think what you need is a copy writer that works on web sites ... most will do that. A proof reader basically looks for mistakes. A copy writer will take a group of ideas and make it appealing to read.

My company name is long too. But I also registered in my state for a Dba name
for $50 and its good for 5 years. The name I picked is easy and has some good
keywords for googling too. I really have two different things going on in my business so the two names is helpful to keep them separate too.

Creative Concepts Landscape Design WOW - now that`s a mouth full. not including the dot com. I`ve tried abbreviations and some other shortening.=( sounds greasy hahhaha) but they are either taken or just don`t have the ring. See the prob is not just changing names - I`m Inc. and that cost a few hundred here in Tx. plus all my cards, brochers etc YUK guess it`s the cost of doing business. I`m 63 and every dime counts.

Another option for finding a copy writer, or maybe better, a freelance editor, is Craig`s List. They have a category for writing. Keep in mind that this could easily be done remotely, via email or whatever online tools.

As for the name, which is most important: "Creative Concepts" or "Landscape" or "Design?"

You could go with CCLandscapingDesign, or CCLandscaping.com.

As far as I knew, a DNS name for a Web IP address could be up to 256 characters long, so I`m not sure from the original posting, what it means to be "too long?"

Also
scroll up to member search

under keywords  type in  copywriting

Why not just use CCLD.com, get it on every business card, invoice, and print and radio media that you can, send a letter to all your customers letting them know of the site, offer a special if the ref someone to the site or you.  That way, you can keep the name and just use the initials for the site.

Also, when you have your site published to the web, before you do any search engine options and such, post the site on SuN and have us take a look at them.  I did that and got a lot of great ideas.  (have not had a chance to do them yet but I will get to it.

Using the short name for the site is not a bad thing I dont think unless you do not promote the site to let people know that it is there!
