How do you choose the right URL for your nonprofit? As someone with a common name that’s spelled a bit differently, I’m all too aware of the confusion and errors that happen because of a unique moniker. When people are expecting Karen with a K, I’m forever spelling out C-a-r-y-n. For me, this typically only causes minor inconvenience and some interesting conversations about names.

Back in 1996, brevity was all the rage in URLs. And that's what informed my recommendation to the Ford Foundation (I planned and produced the Foundation's first website) to use FordFound.org as its URL. Because URL/web habits, and the strategy around them, have changed. The rule now is to use an URL that's easy to remember and repeat, which FordFound is not. The thinking was less was more, in all cases.
