Short and sweet articles and the podcasts give me a grown up excuse to own my iPod! Not always the best technically - links dont always work and it can be a bit glitchy on my PC but overall I like to nip in with a coffee before the real business work begins.

Any normal day I would be praising how much better the website is but to be honest I need the break. I like the fact I get emailed so I checked out the website as per usual. The competion appealed to me because I have just experienced one of the worst physical attacks by a stressed out employee you could ever imagine...therefore the head massage sounds great! Sounds like a sob story, well it is! Plus it's my birthday next week.

I think the Real Business website is great. It is clear, bright and easy to navigate. Very welcome alternative to the magazine, which goes a little way to paper free publications! Well done.

Really like the new site. Visually pleasing (seems less "busier" and better structured than previous"). Really like the podcast section, it would be great to expand on that, perhaps with a monthly podcast, highlighting month's key issues. Navigation of the site was fine (great use of tags). Room for improvement on depth of content and site search capability.

Clean, crisp, succint and not too crowded. Plus points other sites fail to impress me with, well done. Now build on the content please.

I have to admit this this is one of the clearest business websites I have come across. The layout is easy to understand and use and the information provided is clear concise and most importantly up to date. I would expect the daily blog to be updated daily, that is my only negative view Overall an excellent site I will use time and again

What do I think of the new website? Pants - of the Armani kind of course.

I have a very busy day and rarely have time to login into sites that although great sites such as yours are not a priority. As with the financial events I tend to read the FT Weekend paper. Why nor produce a weekend website which contains a list of all the articles you have available so that we could read at leisure. Many thanks great mag David Crabtree Crabtree Care Homes

Clear and crisp, and I like the well placed embedded links in articles, etc allowing me to jump ahead quickly to what I want and need - keep it up!

Interesting site

Tim Hammonds Says:

Have you thought about a monthly podcast, exploring in more depth an issue raised in the magazine?

September 19, 2007 4:42pm
Tim Hammonds Says:

Some links don't seem to work - eg the one to the Richard Lambert podcast

Short, sharp, succint & to the point spot on.

Christine Cuthbertson Says:

I like the overall look and feel of the site and it is quick and easy to navigate. I like the concept of the tags, but not much content has built up with them and they are sometimes duplicated (see horsemouth for eg) and mostly return no results. I'd like to have external links to sources. The overall content is good, and the summaries at the right level of information vs. space. I like the organisation. The podcasts are a good idea. Overall, the site has a different feel that makes me want to explore Growing Business more. It is a site I would return to almost daily.
