Big improvement on the current BBC site.
However, just a few little initial thoughts:
- I really don't like the clock; it's so 1990s - we all have a clock on
our computer/phone; I don't think it's needed.
- I like the whole customisation/display options (though I think
www.abc.net.au/news do it a little better
- The CSS is not very well documented, if I were to come and develop on
this site I would have a hard time coming to terms with the naming
conventions given, and the lack of order; eg) typography, layout,
various sections etc
Looks like there is still a lot of work to be done overall;
- things like signs of life link moves when you hover over it in FF.
- plus I think that any usability/accessibility testing will reveal a
bunch of stuff that looks problematic now.
Otherwise, I think it's on the right path; again big improvement on the
current blue site.
Nathen.
