Does it dilute or position your brand? www for most gives the initial impression of web/technical/site to the average person. Removing www dilutes the association to those concepts. Using the www in print removes the need to include http:// http:// otherwise domain.io might be confusing.
- jamieweb 8y agoUsing www probably helps for the newer gTLDs, as the average non-technical user may not realise that something like ".productions" or ".hockey" is a valid domain. In the past I've heard of non-technical users adding ".com" to the end of one of these gTLDs, which obviously takes them to a completely different website. I wonder whether anybody has used this as a form of pseudo-typosquatting or phishing?
- tgb 8y agoYes, I have this concern with the new deluge of TLDs. Now something.anything could be a link but also means it might not be. www.something.anything would at least make that clear if your TLD is not easily recognizable. Even recognizable brands give me double-takes when they use their TLD like a .google address doesn't look like an address at all.
- z3t4 8y agoYeh I always wonder if it's a FTP, SMB, DAVS, IRC, NNTP, etc. www makes it obvious it's a world wide web :P
