It's a brave new world on lovemoney.com. Here's what's changed and what you need to do to get the most from the revamped site.
Welcome everyone to the new-look lovemoney.com!
There are several exciting changes which have now gone live, so let’s take a look at what’s new and how you can get the most from the revamped site.
Never miss an important story
We’ve significantly revamped the News homepage to ensure that you never miss out on the biggest stories affecting your money. As you can see from the screenshot below, there are now three tabs on the news homepage: Featured, Popular and Your Topics.
Featured are the stories selected by the lovemoney.com editorial team, and are the articles we think are the most important for you to read right now.
The Popular stories detail the articles that your fellow lovemoney.com readers are checking out.
And with Your Topics, you get to see the articles that match the topics that you’ve told us you’re most interested in (more on that later).
What’s more, the news bar down the right-hand side means that you’ll ALWAYS be up to date on the latest, breaking money news!
See what’s trending
At the top of the news homepage, you’ll see the option to search by what’s Trending on the site.
These are areas that your fellow readers are searching for and will encompass a number of different articles.
So for example, ‘Holiday’ will take you through to all sorts of articles and guides covering things like how to have a cheap holiday and which cards to use abroad.
Save articles, guides and questions for later
You’re all busy people, so there will be times when you see an article, guide or Q&A question that you want to read but you don’t have the time right now. Fear not! You can now save content so that it’s always just a click away whenever you need it.
You can do that either within the page itself or, if it's a news story, on the general news homepage.
To access your saved articles and guides, you can either click the Your Saved tab at the top of the screen, or head to your profile where they are helpfully stored for you as and when you need them.
Choose the topics that matter to you
When you register with lovemoney.com, you can set which topics you are most interested in to ensure you can focus on the content that means the most to you and your money.
We’ve streamlined the number of topics available down to eight to make it easier for you to pick. And you can tweak the topics you're following very quickly, whether you’re in your profile or in an article, thanks to the Manage My Topics button.
More guides
Our guides section has undergone a significant revamp to give you the best step-by-step help in getting on top of your money.
You can find what you’re looking for quickly via the helpful filter, as well as check out the most-read guides by your fellow lovemoney.com readers thanks to the Popular tab in the top right.
Q&A is even more helpful
The Q&A section is one area of the lovemoney.com site that we are all fiercely proud of, as it gives you the chance to pick the brains of your fellow readers or give them advice on their own personal money issues.
You can now print, send or save questions and their answers in order to benefit from the advice whenever it suits you. You can also filter questions based on whether they were recently asked, recently answered, the topic of the question itself or even its popularity.
And when you click on a question, scroll to the bottom and you’ll be presented with plenty of similar questions that may also help you answer your own money queries.
Store offers more
When the time comes to take out a new financial product, whether it’s a credit card, savings account or life insurance, just head to our Store section.
Not only do you get all of the usual comparison features, but also a selection of the most relevant best buy and guide articles to help you make the right decision.
Responsive website design
The new website has been designed so that the pages you're looking at perfectly marry up with the device you're using, whether that's a traditional computer, a tablet or even a smartphone.
There’s more to come
We are always looking to deliver the best possible experience for our loyal lovemoney.com readership, so there are plenty more exciting changes still to come, including our Plans service.
We're also keen to hear your thoughts on the new site and any added features you'd like to see in the future. Please let us know what you think in the Comments section below.
