´óÏó´«Ã½ News website redesign
Today sees the launch of the redesigned ´óÏó´«Ã½ News website. This is the first major part of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ website to have implemented our new online design guidelines, known as global visual language. My colleague Steve Herrmann in News has blogged in detail today about the improvements - and I hope you'll like them - but I wanted to reflect on why this moment isn't just important to the News website but to ´óÏó´«Ã½ Online as a whole.
This is part of an ongoing process to make ´óÏó´«Ã½ Online feel like one coherent service, rather than a disjointed collection of websites, which is greater than the sum of its parts.
Our aim is more than making a website easy on the eye; a good user-experience is essential to making the site easy to use, and most importantly to make it easy to find what you want to look at quickly.
