Online platform promotes work, jobs and opportunities from businesses in the Colchester area.
The portal - wwww.creativecolchester.org.uk - has been created by web development firm This Is Fever, which has an office in the town. It was part-funded by Colchester Borough Council.
Council leader, Mark Cory, said: "The new Creative Colchester website provides a great opportunity to present Colchester as a place where there are highly skilled creative people and businesses and a thriving creative economy. It is also a hugely useful portal to promote joint working and recruitment opportunities."
