We worked the last months on a new completely ad-free database for European products, brands, services and companies. A few days ago we released the site. The website focuses on usability with a simple search form and a clear structure. After the technical development we are now in the process of filling the database with content.
If you have any feedback, we would appreciate it. If you like it and want to share it, we appreciate that too. :)
Thanks in advance!
I don’t know if this has been suggested before but is there a way to categorise them? Something simple and easy to understand like gold, silver and bronze? Gold could be EU based companies that produce their products in the EU. Silver could be companies that are based in and produce their products in the wider European community (under European legislation). Bronze could be a company that fulfils one of those criteria like a European company who produces their products in China. Or even an American company who produces their products in Europe (it may mean profits going to America but it also means jobs in Europe and if there’s nothing but non-European competitors in a sector then surely this is better?)
Fantastic idea! Technically we could add this quickly. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure we will not be able to editorially work on that within the next couple of weeks where we focus on expanding the database itself but we should definitely consider this! Maybe we can get some people on board who help with the research for this.
