New site

Smarta has had a makeover!

Smarta's had some serious cosmetic work done. We hope you'll agree we now look much more attractive.

Don't be fooled, though - we're not just a pretty face. We've spent the last few months listening and digesting YOUR feedback and suggestions in order to deliver the Smarta YOU wanted.

We've learnt there are three things you want from Smarta: Advice, Networking and Tools.

So we've redesigned the site to focus exactly on that:

ADVICE - More. Easier to find. Deeper analysis.

  • For a start, there's MORE: we've added hundreds of new videos, guides, features and case studies
  • Better categorisation and navigation: rather than finding advice by 'think', 'create' and 'grow', you can now find advice quickly by topics such as 'sales and marketing' or 'accounting and tax', and by type such as guides, videos, features, case studies
  • Personalised content: filter content by topic, type of content, and industry sector
  • Deeper analysis: we've rewritten many of guides offering deeper analysis, links to other resources, mini-glossary jargon-busters and checklists for action

NETWORK - Improved profiles. New features. Activity feeds.

  • Find people more easily: we've replaced usernames with real names (this is a business network, after all) and made all profiles public by default so you can more easily find like-minded people to connect with. If you'd like to make your profile only visible to your contacts, you can easily change this in your account settings
  • Keep up with latest activity: We've added an activity feed detailing what's happening in the Smarta network
  • Request/offer help: we've made it easier for you to tap into fellow members' knowledge and to share your own expertise

Log in or register to the Smarta network now to try these new features and update your profile.

TOOLS - More tools. Free templates. Exclusive deals.

  • New tools: we've extended the range of tools on offer to help your business
  • Free templates: get your hands on 500 business plan templates for every kind of startup you can think of, absolutely free
  • Accounting and tax help: access to free software and calculators to help manage your finances

We're still listening!

This is just the first of a series of improvements we're planning for Smarta - so please keep the feedback coming by contacting feedback@smarta.com.

Due to the scale of the changes we've made, we remain in beta and fear there could be a few bugs lurking around. If you spot one, please tell us at bugs@smarta.com so we can zap it!

We'd like to thank you all for your feedback over the past few months, and we'd like to extend a huge shout out to our agency PublicZone for their tireless dedication in helping us make the new and improved Smarta a reality.
