The website has been designed by and aimed at young people in the city.
On it they will have the chance to direct their questions at Nigel Richardson, director of children and young people's services at Hull City Council.
The site was launched yesterday and is split into two sections to cater for different ages.
The first is for children 12 and under, and the other is aimed at those 13 upwards.
Mr Richardson, who has driven the project ,said: “From doing research among the city's children and young people they told us that a website was the best way to connect with them.
“Children and young people have been at the heart of the project, playing a really important role in its design – helping us choose the right graphics, language and content and title to make the website really appealing as well as informative – and something that they really want to use.”
The website has everything from clubs and activities young people can get involved in, to careers advice and how to prepare for job interviews, right through to information for younger children such as what it's like being in hospital, road safety and help with homework.
There is also advice bullying, parents divorcing, the effects of illegal drugs, violence in the home and teenage pregnancy.
