hyperlinks - Should printed graphics of a domain start with www, uppercase/lowercase? How to make the user understand that it's a domain?


Consider a car used by a company which has "advertising" printed on it regarding the actual company.


How should domains be displayed on such a car? Is there any research regarding this? With a wide target-audience; how to ensure that they userstand that it's a domain?



www.domain.com


domain.com


http://domain.com



DOMAIN.COM



I'm looking for answers for richer countries, not developing ones.



Answer



For most people, domain.com is as clear as www.domain.com, and so the preference depends on the designer (although I prefer domain.com)


However, naked domains (i.e. domain.com) and the www version are not always synonymous. First make sure that the naked version works.


Don't just use the naked version without first checking.
