Codenamed "X3," XBIZ 3.0 sets a new standard in providing webmasters, producers, studio owners, novelty merchants, retailers and others with breaking news, exclusive business articles, opinions and analysis from adult industry leaders, user communities and more.
While users accustomed to the classic XBIZ website may feel a little overwhelmed by the new look — which is tailored for today's higher-resolution monitors — the design offers a substantial increase in screen real estate, which the new site makes terrific use of. The site also boasts features that aid navigation and display like-minded content to targeted users.
For example, at the top of each page is a series of tabs that allow users to "select their biz," whether it's web and tech, video, novelty or retail — or a mix of all categories, offering a custom view on the wealth of information the new site provides.
Usability was a key concern with the new site design; prominent links to user tips and help files make finding answers easy, and the upgraded search functions make finding the right information across all of our services and content areas infinitely easier.
XBIZ's comprehensive Industry Directory also has been expanded, as have all of the site's other services, including the Newscaster and Syndication services, SMS headlines, RSS feeds and expanded event calendar listings — all designed to keep users on top of the latest happenings.
The popular XBIZ Boards, long a source of vital information and knowledge sharing for those wishing to master their craft, search for and create new business, and network with other professionals, have undergone an upgrade as well.
The new moderated discussion forums include Speak Your Mind, a general forum for all members of the industry; Webmaster Linkup, which will include past threads merged from a number of our earlier forums; Content Marketplace, for users involved in content production and/or licensing; Studio City, a new forum for the adult video industry; plus a new business opportunities announcement forum, Biz Opps.
Registration for the site is free, and includes access to the XBIZ Boards as well as a choice of four XBIZ newsletters, including Weekly Wrap-ups, Daily Briefs, Community Updates and Sponsor Promotions; as well as notification of new business opportunities, events and news from XBIZ.
Relentlessly evolving to meet the demands of an ever-changing business environment, XBIZ is the industry's leading tech media company.
