Form filling – Entering your website address

Posted on September 12, 2022September 12, 2022 By JuliaEEvans No Comments on Form filling – Entering your website address

When you are asked to enter a web address you have (typically for a business), you may like me automatically type it in with www before the name – like this:

Image showing the website name as I'd usually enter it

When you hit Save Changes or Submit, however the site may give you an unhelpful message like this one from Ionos (formerly 1 and 1 Internet):-

Screenshot with red underline under www.pcgp.biz and to the right a bright red box with white writing saying Website is needed.

Since you’ve already enetered it (as far as you’re concerned), this message is pointless.

However, if you click on the line underneath Website, you will see the ACTUAL helpful message shown below:

Only a few words are actually helpful – “It must start with http:// or https://

Once you re-type the address with these characters at the beginning (the s isn’t often needed), your online form will most likely be accepted by the vendor.

Happy form filling everyone !
