BBC rocks
I wanted to do something simple which match my design capacity. There's so much information on the bbc website that it comes very difficult to classify the contents and enable users to easily spot important information and direct them to the appropriate section.
This is why the choice of boxes was appropriate. It should be borne in mind that most persons know the BBC as news provider and it was important to fit more than only the headline in the homepage.
Tabbing for the directory section.
Instead of providing links to the actual page (e.g Music) is should be possible to view the essential contents within that box.
Instead of having the same colour for all the boxes I found it better to use different colours.. In this way , users will find the relevant section more easliy the next time they visit the website.
To navigate to other webpages (e.g news, radio , tv ) There is a kinda navigation bar at the top-right corner.
If I had money (which is not the case right now), I would save it :) For the sake of improving the service I strongly recommends that BBC introduces a toolbar for Mozilla/IE users.
I regularly check the BBC for news and each time I have to come to the website. It will be gr8 if there was a toolbar especially for the BBC giving the headlines, news alert, tv listing and a search bar as well.
Moreover users should be made more participative : they can judge what story deserve to be on the homepage (a bit likee digg.com)
