Not very "NoScript" friendly ... basically, nothing works (navigation, links) unless I disable it. This always makes me pause to wonder if there's a compelling reason I should "temporarily" disable NoScript (which often then cascades to more sites I need to "temporarily" unblock), or just walk away. I often do the latter.
My favourite part is Top Tip 4: Create a logo. It doesn't matter if the band can play as long as they have a cool name.
I'm hoping the designer was intentionally referencing the surreal "Top Tips" from UK comedy magazine Viz to undermine this effort.
Where you can search for an accountant as an 'Individual' or 'Buisness' [sic]
The whole thing is largely just a bunch of links. I'd love to know how much it cost
I haven't heard of any of the people behind this, although it is referenced on the Prime Minister's number 10 website[1]. It does look like a lot of the people involved have stuff to sell. Still, anything having a decent bash on encouraging entrepreneurship in the UK can only be a good thing(tm), for various values of good thing.

* Lots of text rendered in low-quality jpegs full of artifacts (yet it still downloads a bunch of fonts)
* Stolen artwork (the MSN messenger and iCal icons are in there with no modification except they're grayscaled. And is that the old download.com logo I can see?)
* No expires headers
I wish the US govt did more to reach out to startups. This may be over the top but if I was young techie in Europe this would be extremely appealing to me. Is this tied into their startup visa thing?
Is the US a hostile environment for startups? It seems the US is the most friendly environment in the world for startups.
Totally disagree. The stakes for failing in the US are very high. The thing that currently gives the US the edge is that that's where so many startup minded people are.
AAAAAHH! Everything is a Headline! TOO MUCH EXCITEMENT!!! Can't parse any words. back Back BACK!!!! At least, that was my four seconds on the site. Any survivors who managed to parse some content? Were there articles behind those links? Did those articles have any text in non-bolded, non-48px, non-shadowed text on a non-red background?
No. Most of it is trivial advice (for example; under "ideas" it links to TechCrunch) with links to other websites and lots of partner offers. On one hand, it is a useful collection of links for entrepreneurs in the UK, and the offers, while not exactly brilliant, are worth looking at. On the other it's not revolutionary. According to the media there is going to be £1,500 of funding/incentives for startups as part of…
Click on 'Growing' link. It is the offers on the right hand side, eg, £30 Adwords voucher.
I'm disappointed not to see Business Link ( http://www.businesslink.gov.uk ) linked under the "best resources" section. As far as I can see it's a better, more thorough source of advice - certainly for issues such as taxes, company registration etc.
