GenevaLunch has just had a facelift, with some changes that you’ll notice right away if you’re a regular visitor and others that are less apparent. Technically, we wanted to speed up the site, and visually, we want to make it easier for you to spot the wealth of good material we offer you.

We’ve become the English daily newspaper for Geneva, Lausanne and much of Switzerland

GenevaLunch has grown tremendously in the past year: we have tripled the number of regular visitors to the site in the 12-month period ending 31 March, to become the best-read source of news in English, online, in the Lake Geneva region. Growth continues to be strong and we’re anxious to continue providing the news you’ve come to expect. We have been studying the best options for small and medium companies for advertising, and we now have a good solution for these businesses, an important part of our community.

What’s changed, will change: the site loads more quickly, the news column on the home page is wider so you can read more quickly, we’ve created a highly visible box with useful links to advertisers that vary on each page, the blog for newcomers to Geneva is quickly visible at the top of the page, the most recent events and resources are also at the top of the page and we’ll be bringing you weather soon. World news and the most recent blog post for each blog, as well as our features and interviews, use a bit of Flash to catch your eye. And there is more in store, so keep your eyes open and keep returning!

GenevaLunch is staffed by a core group of seven volunteers, including an editorial team with strong local and international reporting experience. We have a larger group of some 30 occasional contributors. We have been providing top-quality community news to the international population in Switzerland since 2006.

We’ll be fixing the small glitches that are part of any web site’s update or design changes and in a few days we’ll give you a list of suggestions for best ways to use the revamped site, as we add new features.
