My boss just corrected one of my documents from 企業向きな開発 to 企業向けの開発.

Apart from the の/な problem that I always get wrong, is there a problem with 向き
?  
I got it from my textbook that says 子供向きです

Could someone shed some light on when to use one or the other?  
Am I fine if I decide to just stick to 向け all the time?

Difference between 向け and 向き
向け is the short-form of the word 向ける and 向き's dictionary form is 向く.

向き/向く has more to do with suitability. For example, someone who is afraid of
blood is not suited to be a doctor, we would say 医者に向いてない (not suitable to be
a doctor)

向ける/向け has more to do with target and objective. `企業向けの開発` implies that the
development is targeted at 企業(enterprise) for example.
