BBC News
March 31st, 2008
The new BBC News website just looks absolutely fantastic. This comes just weeks after the redesign of the BBC homepage. The editors wrote a bit about the new design on their blog. But its a shame that the BBC don’t update the design of old articles on their site although I suppose that it’s nice they’ve kept the old pages as they were originally intended. Congratulations to the BBC News web team.

I wasn’t particularly impressed by the redesign - it feels like a lot of space is wasted, especially in the header (where there used to be links to BBC radio/TV etc), and the ‘BBC News’ logo beneath the ‘BBC’ logo feels very redudunant to me!
The new design is great, it’s just a shame that (on Firefox on Mac, at any rate) the sidebar doesn’t quite align where it’s supposed to - and the text seems a bit too spaced out (especially down the bottom).
I agree with Richard. I just don’t get the same feeling with it and although it sort of matches with the main BBC site, it doesn’t feel right. I do like CNN’s website. They should take some inspiration from that.
