Digital Liverpool (http://www.digitalliverpool.co.uk/) will feature opinion pieces, events, website reviews and industry news and promises writing and comment from some of the ?leading lights? of the city's digital design community.
It has been constructed as a blog to encourage visitors to post comments and take part in debates.
CL5, the Liverpool-based search marketing agency that built the site, has called on digital professionals working in the city to contribute to it.
Peter Glover, the agency's managing director, said: ?We built this site as a free resource for businesses in the city and to support the work of business support organisations such as ACME in championing Liverpool as a high profile location for digital media providers.?
Research in 2007 by The Mersey Partnership estimated that Liverpool's digital and creative sector employed more than 36,000 people, in industries including digital marketing, games development and 3D visualisation.
?The size of Liverpool?s digital sector means we now need a dedicated website to promote what?s going on, showcase the success stories and provide a voice for business,? Glover added.
