Is .cat right for you?
The .cat field guide
A practical guide to .cat
Claim a name that matches how you write, live, and create. With .cat, you can present your work in Catalan and put your audience at ease the moment they see your address.
01Start here
What your .cat says at a glance
A .cat name tells visitors they will find Catalan language, culture, and context. It is a natural fit for institutions, creators, and businesses that publish in Catalan or serve Catalan-speaking audiences.
Keep the promise visible: use Catalan in headings, calls to action, forms, and metadata. If you offer multiple languages, let Catalan lead and give a simple switch for others.
02
Name ideas that travel well
Pair common Catalan words with your specialty: escola.cat, teatre.cat, cooperativa.cat, llibres.cat. If the exact word is taken, add a place, niche, or action: teatre-girona.cat, llibresinfantils.cat, compra-verda.cat.
Favor short and pronounceable names. Avoid hyphen chains, numbers-for-letters, and literal translations that feel unnatural. Read your candidate name out loud to check rhythm and clarity.
03
Show your purpose fast
Use your homepage hero to state who you serve and what you offer in one or two lines of plain Catalan. Support it with a concise navigation that mirrors core tasks: Inscripcions, Agenda, Botiga, Recursos, Donatius, Contacte.
Feature local proof: partners, venues, service areas, or community stories. Link to your channels where Catalan is active, such as newsletters, podcasts, or social profiles.
04
Content patterns that fit .cat
For associations: an Agenda with filters by ciutat and tipus d’activitat, a Participa page with clear steps, and downloadable actes or memòries.
For creators and media: a Catalog or Arxiu with tags in Catalan, episode or article pages with glossaries, and a simple licensing note readers understand at a glance.
05
Bilingual without confusion
If you support multiple languages, default to Catalan on .cat. Use a visible language toggle labeled Català, Español, English, not flags. Keep URLs stable and let language affect content, not structure titles.
Translate forms, error messages, and transactional emails. Readers notice consistency more than volume, so keep key pages fully localized.
