Features of Oregon Business Presence
At Oregon Registered Agent, we understand that forming an Oregon LLC or corporation involves more than filing paperwork and paying state fees. Once your business is registered with the state, you need to start attracting customers, finding vendors, and earning a steady income. That’s why we created Oregon Business Presence.
When you add Oregon Business Presence to our business formation service, you get all of the following:
1. Domain name:
Your domain name is your URL—it’s where customers will find you online. In simple terms, a domain name (or domain) is a string of text you type to access a website. For example, the domain name for Oregon Registered Agent is oregonregisteredagent.com. Most domains are comprised of two parts:
- Second-Level Domain (SLD): These are what make your domain unique. Your SLD could be your company name, brand name, or human name—whatever tickles your fancy. For example, the SLD for our site is “oregonregisteredagent.”
- Top-Level Domain (TLD): Your TLD is everything that follows the final dot of your domain name. For example, in our domain name ‘oregonregisteredagent.com,’ ‘.com’ is the TLD. Other popular TLDs include .net, .biz, .co, and .shop.
With our Business Presence package, you can create a unique domain name or request a transfer if you already have one. Once you’ve chosen a domain name, you’ll need to set up a password for your first business email address. From there, our Web Support Team will reach out (often the same day) to walk you through your specific needs and make sure your domain name is available. Need more time? Not a problem! We can easily schedule a call for a later time.
How do I choose a domain name?
You can customize your business’s domain to highlight your unique brand, flaunt your services, and boost your ranking on search engines. Here’s a few tips to think about when creating your domain:
-
- Keep it short and simple. Domains that are long or complex can be hard for customers to remember and spell.
- Make it memorable and related to your product or service. For example, if you offer local fencing services, you may want to include the word “fence” or “fencing” in your domain—this will also help your site rank (which increases traffic) and will make sense to potential customers.
Your domain name is like your virtual business card. It’s important to choose something unique that represents your business and brand.
How much does a domain name cost?
The cost of a domain name will vary and will also depend on which TLD you choose. For example, unique TLDs such as “.build,” “.bar,” or “.press” tend to be more expensive (up to $100 in some cases). We recommend going with something more common, like “.com,” which will save you money and likely be easier for customers to remember.
Our domain service is free for a year for domains that are currently $25 or less. If you choose a more expensive domain, you’ll pay the difference. For example, if your domain is $35, then you’ll pay $10 ($35 minus $25) for the first year. After the first year, you’ll pay the current market price for your domain. For most domains, this will be $25 a year.
What if I already have a business domain name?
No problem! Transferring your domain to our service is super easy—and FREE! For absolutely zero additional upfront fees, you can manage all of your web services under one roof. No strings attached. No fine print. We promise.
2. Customizable Website:
Your website is where the general public will learn about your business and (hopefully) make a purchase. In essence, your domain name is like your physical street address, and your website is the physical storefront where customers shop.
With Oregon Business Presence, you’ll get 90 days of free web hosting. After signing up, you’ll get access to our library of pre-built templates you can use to customize your website. Plus, we have easy to use drop-and-drag tools to help you add content, photos, and videos. Once the 90-day trial is over, it’s just $9 a month.
I have social media accounts. Do I still need a website?
If you only promote on social media, you could miss out on opportunities to build revenue. For example, having a website will allow you to attach a link to the picture or video you post on social media. So, when people see your amazing product, they can immediately go to your site to purchase. Building a business website can also allow you to sell ad space, become an affiliate marker, or create membership-specific content.
What should I put on my website?
Well, that’s really up to you. But, you’ll likely want to include basic information about your Oregon LLC or corporation, such as your business name, descriptions of the products/services you provide, and regular business hours. You could also include the following:
-
- Your business’s origin story (About Us): Share your story, and let readers see how your passion makes you the best in your industry.
- Customer testimonials: Whether it’s a review about the cute lavender soaps you made for your cousin’s wedding shower or the backyard fence you built for your neighbor, these reviews are invaluable. They not only help you attract new clients but also make your existing customers feel valued.
- Contact information. Let clients know how they can reach you. If you run your business from home, you can use the business email address and local phone number (included in Oregon Business Presence) to keep your personal information private.
No matter what you choose to put on your website, make sure it represents your company, brand, and mission. Your site should be a place to showcase your work and experience.
Do I need coding experience?
Nope. After you sign up, our Web Support Team will reach out (often on the same day) to help you get started. We’ve designed our pre-built templates and tools specifically for clients without a coding background, ensuring we cater to your web-building needs regardless of your current abilities. Simply use our drag-and-drop tools to add text, photos, and videos. It is that easy.
3. SSL Security
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is how websites protect customers and gain trust. In simple terms, SSL encrypts data that is being transferred between computers. So, when customers input their email address, password, or credit card information on your website, their data is protected against hackers. Without SSL Security, unauthorized entities can try and steal your client’s information.
Does my website need SSL Security?
You will likely want to get SSL Security. Customers who interact with or purchase through your website will want to know their information is safe. Without SSL Security, customers may be reluctant to buy from you—let alone visit your site.
Think of SSL Security as a virtual ID card. It signals to users that your website is secure and trustworthy. Websites with SSL Security are preceded by “https” (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) instead of “http.” With SSL Security, your customers won’t get a warning asking them if they want to proceed to your website.
4. Business Email
Email is a quick and effective way to interact with customers and vendors. You can use it to send order confirmations, shipping notices, or promotional materials. Having a company-specific email address will also help keep your personal life independent from your business.
With Oregon Business Presence, you’ll get an email address that’s directly linked to your unique domain name. So, if your company’s domain name is “petuniaspottery.com,” we can offer you an email address like “[email protected]” or “[email protected].” You can add up to 10 email addresses to your account—each secure and ad-free.
How do I access my business email?
After you purchase our Oregon Business Presence, you’ll get access to your website and email through our client portal. Then, you’ll receive a link to your email account manager.
5. Business Phone Number
A business phone number helps you project a more professional image, keep business and personal calls separate, and prevent customers from calling during non-business hours.
Our web-based phone service comes with an Oregon area code (of your choice) and can be used on your current phone. With our FREE iOS or Android apps (available in U.S. app stores), you can easily access and manage your business communications from one secure location. You’ll also get UNLIMITED talk, SMS text, visual voicemail, and call forwarding to any U.S. number.
