I am designing a poster for an event, and the domain name is long enough already. [www.duluthfestivalofcultures.org](http://www.duluthfestivalofcultures.org)) …Would it be ok if I dropped the ‘www’? I know that tech saavy people would probably know what to do, but I dont want to confuse the rest of my audience. Has anyone ever run into this before? Below is a rough of the poster, still in progress.
