UK: BBC gives news and sports sites a makeover
Posted by Kelley Vendeland on April 1, 2008 at 9:33 AM
The BBC debuted a new look on its news website yesterday, part of an on-going website redesign project.Changes to news site include:
-embedded video service on the news and sports pages
-greater number of images
-wider page designs
These latest modifications come less a week after the BBC officially relaunched its homepage with new functionality, after months of beta testing.
Interesting though that the BBC is choosing to make its page designs wider, given the general trend towards reduced web width.
