The BBC News website has a new look—a wider, more whitespacy, and cleaner look. Looks great, and I like how they kept the layout people have come to love about the site, and worked within that layout to make it wider and cleaner.

First - we did some research asking you what you thought we should change about the site. Many of those we asked said leave it alone - don’t change a thing. But it was also clear from the feedback we got that there were others who thought the site design could do with a bit of a revamp

So our designers embarked on a mission that they have called a “site refresh” - they say it’s “like gardeners doing a bit of pruning and weeding, but not digging it up and starting from scratch” ie it’s not a fundamental redesign of everything – many of the basics stay the same, because we know they work.
