Want to elevate your branding and improve your SEO at the same time?

For designers of all kinds and experience levels, a .design domain name says exactly who you are and what you do, and it’s far more memorable than a predictable .com domain. A .design domain is the perfect choice for your online portfolio, helping you stand out to clients, employers, and algorithms too. 

Porkbun.com is now offering HOW Design readers FREE first-year registrations for .design domain names, so take advantage of this limited-time offer to give your online brand presence a big boost. 

Here’s Why .design is Better

From graphic design and illustration, to UX/UI, to interior design, designers of all kinds are using the .design domain extension to create elegant, representative, and search-engine-optimized websites. 

Unlike .com and other legacy domain extensions, .design is relatively new, so there are far more short, catchy, and keyword-rich domain names available. With the category-defining “design” keyword already included in your domain name, you can improve your search engine ranking (and get your online portfolio in front of a larger audience) by using your domain name to focus on your particular design specialty.

Designers understand branding and the advantages of a clear and concise domain like those available via .design. It reads well on business cards and in print, it is eye-catching, and it is especially effective when paired with a custom email address. With .design there is the opportunity to clearly tell the world who you are (brand name!) and what you do (design!) right in your URL, and look good while doing it.

In addition to thousands of freelance designers and agencies, many global brands have enthusiastically embraced .design domains to enhance their content marketing and hiring strategies. Sites like spotify.design, dropbox.design, amazon.design, and adobe.design deliver a compelling sneak peek into the design practices of these industry-leading companies.
