this is what happens when football fans design websites, and a gooner at that.

"Wasn't the homepage only redesigned last year? I bet the people who worked on that must be a little peeved!"

(Jul 17 06, 07:20)That's nearly what I was gonna post.
I dont want to read people's blogs ANYWHERE, and certainly not on the BBC. It'll just become another toilet wall...

I'm sure there are many BBC staff who have voiced their concerns about outsourcing their entire web presence to potentionally a couple of 12 year old kids.
I'm sure they have and pay for skilled staff who could've handled it just as "well"...

it doesnt suprise me that this NT thread is packed full of negative comments.
personally, i think the 'concept' is quite good and translating that concept through a slider is quite a nice idea. its personal yet generic; its focussed on the user yet able to deliver 'standard' bbc content as normal.
the design is clean and clear, although it could do with possibly bringing in a little more colour, contrast and depth in areas.
congrats to the winner.

I am sure over time wheh the site is developed (2010??) that typographical Hierarchy, colour coded content and nice BIG background images will come into play. Give it time, it's the concept that matters.
I bet the coders at BBC are really scratching their head though hehe..

Hmm...
BBC site costs millions (Like £30+) to maintain (including all microsites, CBBIES etc).
Surely they spend a few quid on the homepage?
- Engage0
they do... I don't see what the problem is of asking people what they think could be bought to the site
- monoboy0
Well, nothing in principle. I just think they should be telling us how it should be done.
It's just seem lik such a big risk.
I'm sure it's just the first stage in a long evolutionary process. But you'd think they'd want to tackle it themselves, given it's massive audience and profile.
Anyway, I've bored myself. Better go do some work.

Why fix it, if ain't broken. Just wasting public money!

The winner looks a bit wishy washy, I agree with plamensk1.

I think its the concept they like, not the 'graphic design'... otherwise it would be rather pointless
- monoboy0
I don't even like the concept. It's over complicated and the design's got a 'default' feel to it.
The BBC has a huge dedicated design team paid for by tax payers, so why have they outsourced it as a comp?

don't they can't win... on one hand people say 'we give you all this money, do your job' while others say 'its a public service, we should have a say'
