BBC website gets a redesign
Following on from the fantastic redesign of the BBC homepage the entire BBC News website has had a nice revamp this morning.
There doesn’t appear to be any new functionality but the design looks pretty good.

They probably do it in house quite cost effectively. Money well spent if you ask me, the site is excellent.

ReplyThe redesign is being heavily criticized by readers and they are right.
Characters are too large, too thin. Can’t resize fonts properly. Fixed width design. Layout is too wide. This redesign was not tested enough.

Nice design with a nice blend of new functionality - I want to know why they have used a table rather than a div on the News homepage for the main content, anybody know why?

…Actually rethinking my question; It’s probably to maintain columns if the style sheets are disabled + could be more efficient to develop with table layout with frequently changing content.

ReplyI think the design is up-to-scratch. However, I find that it is impossible to post comments. There seems to be a time-out or something that I haven’t come across on other sites.
But let’s not forget that the BBC is ultimately about - and should ultimately be about - one thing: creating and broadcasting programmes that are creative, original and different!

I like the new design, it is fresh, clean and easy to use. Navigation and accessibility are very important especially on the BBC website. This is a massive website.
