Below are some of the most Frequently Asked Questions regarding website design and service.

Choosing Domain Name

Because most of the good names are already taken by others it is a good idea to register all versions of your domain name to protect your online identity. It wouldn't look too good if the owners of "showerscreentraders.net.au" suddenly had competition from another country with the name "showerscreentraders.com". In the scheme of things domain names are cheap, owning all versions gives peace of mind.
