New Year, New Web Site

Ever visited the antiquated Florida Underwriter web site before? We thought not. The seldom-updated site needed a dusting off (read: a makeover of the extreme variety) to bring it into the 21st century. So over the last several months, the magazine staff has been working hard behind the scenes to give you a better looking and more useful site that helps you stay on top of all the insurance news, information, and analysis you have come to expect from us.

Beginning this month, all articles will be categorized for easy viewing and research. The web site reflects the organization of the magazine, so familiar departments – such as Capitol Line, Business Trends, People, and Company Notes – will be online along with other popular sections such as Market Watch and Product Focus. In-depth insurance issues covered in our feature articles also are viewable and will be integrated into the web site's archive. As each new issue is published and filled with breaking news and articles, the archive will become an important part of keeping you informed and up to date on trends and topics.

We want you to find the information you need quickly. If you are looking for a company that specializes in a particular coverage, our directories provide a breakdown of who would fit the bill. Our channels section focuses on key industry issues and promises to make your research easier. Advertisers will find our media kit and editorial calendar available with just one click.

Think of it as our belated holiday gift to you. You can thank our IT department as well as Mountain Dew and Cheetos, the unofficial sponsors of this effort. If you have an opinion on our new site, we'd love to hear it. E-mail egilkey@nuco.com and tell us what you think.
