Well it's just gone 9pm and the Citywire online production and IT teams are in the office, sanding down the last few rough edges on the new look Citywire. Tomorrow morning we'll fling the doors open, and you'll be able to pass judgment:

Was it worth it?!

We're pretty chuffed with the way it's turned out, but if you don't like it then it's not much use. So tell us what you think, and what we still need to do to make Citywire Money as useful to you as it can be. We're a thick skinned bunch so do be honest.

If you want to directly contact the team - which is to say our editor Chris Marshall, reporters Deborah Hyde, Victoria Bischoff and Tony Bonsignore, Citywire editor-in-chief Gavin Lumsden, and myself (I'm the online producer for Citywire Money) - drop us a line at money@citywire.co.uk.

Any technical problems with the site or with your account, email our customer services team at support@citywire.co.uk.

We look forward to hearing your feedback!

One more thing - you'll notice the Life Beyond Money forum is looking a little new (a.k.a. empty) at the moment, while the News & Politics and Money forums are full of articles from the rest of the site. We hope this is a temporary state of affairs, but we need your help to make it so! Don't be shy about starting your own discussions and joining in others - this is your space, so make yourself comfortable.

Cheers,

Rich

It is awkward getting used to a new layout but it looks good. If it really is faster I will be pleased - in the past I sometimes had a game of Solitaire going while on this site to fill in the pauses. The new layout made me go exploring and I found a few things which had been there all the time but I had not really used - Citywire Selection and Performance particularly.

This redesign is much better than the botched job at the new Times site which is coming fully on line when the pay wall is installed.

Find it a bit awkward. Still trying to find the sections on shares.

Thanks guys. Jeremy - I hope so too - no-one spent more of their lives waiting for the site to load than we did!

Harleen - good point, it's not immediately obvious. If you go to the Performance section (link at the top right) there's a FTSE Shares section on that page. We'll see if we can make it a bit easier to find.

I was happy with the old one, still, I am not unhappy with the new one but ADD ME TO THE SADNESS OF MISSING THE NEWS and your suggestion to click on 'Citywire Money' was no help at all because nothing happened!!

Sorry, but thinking about my earlier comments, perhaps I am missing the point. Citywire is for money what Reuters is for news, only they do both, so guess I'll keep you both thanks, I certainly like what you do on money and investments, thanks!

Mark - I like that description of us, we should use it in our advertising! Will see if we can add that 'news' link back into the navigation bar at some point soon - it would point here: http://www.citywire.co.uk/money/latest-news/list

Anonymous 1 needed this 'Off the Record'

I used to click onto the news and pick out the stories I liked the look of all i one place. Where do I go to do that now? I feel like I am missing stories as I don't know where to look. Is it blog or forums?

Where can I get a list of news I can browse through at my leisure?
