Once you're done (or even as you are creating) post it here so we can check it out. We can give you creative criticism, spellcheck and boost your site.

The hardest part about leaving my website now and making a new one is leaving my progress behind. I get such good search placement and traffic right now that it makes me sad to leave it behind.

You and I will be making new sites at the same time

I kept all the same info just changed the name so it's the same site you saw just a new name

I do eventually want to switch over to wordpress but am not adding that to my to do list just yet!!

I don't see an issue with your domain name. You should be able to use whatever address you choose. As long as you use your business name on your domain name registration form you should be able to write it off as advertising.

OK, thank you!

Thank you for all the advice and info everybody. I'm not very computer savvy, so I wasn't sure how hard it would be for me to set up my own site. I think I will definitely look into it. Now as far as a domain name, do you know if it is required for you to use your real licensed daycare name that you registered with? My husband and I really didn't put much thought into our daycare name when we applied with the state and just used our names. So, it's not a real catchy name.

My license is in my first and last name not my business name. That was the only option my analyst gave me.

In CA, if you file the paperwork under your name then your license will be under your name and will look something like " last name FCC".

When I applied for my license I went through the process of filing for my DBA (doing business as) business name first and submitted a copy of my official approval from the state along with my application. My licence reads "last name FCC AKA business name"

Our licencing office doesn't exactly promote getting a business name, but we can do it. We just have to apply for the business name officially and submit the approval.
I'm sure if you file for an official DBA you can have your license changed to reflect your DBA. Without an official DBA you can only operate under the name on your license.

I guess I need to check with the state of Kansas to be sure. On our license it has our names listed under "Licensee", and then it has "Facility" which has the name of our daycare under that. If I remember correctly, if we ever change the name of our business then we would have to go through the whole process of reapplying and paying the fees associated with that, and I think an initial inspection too because they will treat us as a brand new daycare. I just need to contact them to see what they say.
