# Webba

> Webba is a small, curated marketplace of brandable .com domain names for new companies. Every name is presented with its own visual identity, and many with real world brand applications on packaging, signage and screens. Each name has its own page listing what it could become. Most names are price on request: a buyer can request the price, make an offer or ask a question, and a person answers. Every sale goes through Escrow.com.

## Start here

- [Every name, A to Z](https://webba.com/domains): every .com name currently for sale on Webba.
- [Marketplace](https://webba.com/marketplace): the names as a browsable gallery, with search by word or industry.
- [Collections](https://webba.com/collections): names grouped by industry and by length.

- [The launch kit](https://webba.com/launch-kit): what comes with every name: identity files, colours and fonts, and pictures of the name in use.
- [Logo lab](https://webba.com/logo-lab): make a logo for a business name: say what the business does, pick a logo drawn for that kind of business or build one from parts, change the name, tagline and colours, and download the logo's files free. The full launch kit and an animated logo are paid extras.
- [Name checker](https://webba.com/name-checker): a free tool that reads a business name idea for length, sound, spelling and familiarity, and suggests .com names on Webba in the same spirit.

## Buying a name on Webba

- Every name is a .com.
- Payment is held by Escrow.com, an independent escrow service, until the domain is in the buyer's account. Webba never holds the money. Under Webba's current terms the escrow fee is paid by the seller.
- The transfer normally completes in one to five days; Webba handles the authorisation code and the registrar push.
- 100% Money Back Guarantee: you get the domain, or your money back.
- Questions go through the name's own page: request the price, make an offer or ask a question.
