BBC launches new homepage

The BBC has put up a new homepage (in Beta form) which is the first redesign since 2008. It seems to be very influenced by the iPlayer App and is another indication of websites taking inspiration from the way in which we use tablets.

We’re currently working on our own website redesign following similar principles (in that it works across a range of devices) which will be launched very soon. Regarding the BBC site, it feels a little underdeveloped and the colour coding, which worked well previously seems to have diminished leaving the hierarchy of information somewhat scattershot.

Check it out here. Any thoughts?

Jean Malek’s website shows that great visual impact doesn’t have to be at the expense of simple usability. In fact I think the useability vs design debate is really a bit old hat now, they should just go hand in hand. (Designers and developers unite, it’s a love in!) Anyway, we really like the way they collide on this site. It’s a striking way for him to display his work and the way the menu icon follows your cursor round the screen means you never get lost.

There is also the thoughtful inclusion of quick links to get directly to the previous/next piece of work. Very nice…
