BBC launches homepage redesign
Today the BBC formally launched their new homepage, which had been in beta testing for a few weeks before. The site now has a customisable layout, similar to iGoogle.
Generally, I like the redesign, but I can’t help but think that a few of the fonts are a little too large. There’s also a lot of unnecessary space at the top of the page. I guess it makes sense because it has to cater for users of all abilities, but it would be nice to see an option to slim down the interface and shrink some of the larger buttons. The iPlayer widget is also currently just a logo, which isn’t very useful. I imagine that it’ll become a preview of the site’s content at some point, but for now its static nature sticks out like a sore thumb amongst all of the other dynamic boxes.
