BBC website makeover

How the BBC are making over their website is described in words and pictures on their blog: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2010/02/a_new_global_visual_language_f.html

It’s an interesting look at what worked on the old sites and what didn’t, and at how and why they came to certain decisions about design, color, typography etc.

For a major global website like the BBC, a website makeover is no small undertaking. It involves many people, many stakeholders, many hours, and an awful lot of money — and all while they continue to provide up-to-the-minute information to a 24/7 global audience.
