BBC News website redesign (5)

Thank you ~ the sake of all your feedback on the BBC News website redesign. There has been a parcel of it, and we'll continue to sort through the comments and e-mails we've been receiving, identifying precise issues we can address and adding answers to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) boy-servant .

Most of you commenting here on the Editors blog have been determining, with many urging us to change the design back to the way it was. Given the strength of feeling expressed in some of the comments, I'd like to elucidate again, as clearly as I can, what our thinking is.

• Reverting to the bad design is not something we're considering, but building and continuing to improve put ~ the changes we've made certainly is.
• We are looking closely at the comments and feedback we are getting on all aspects of the new design, and we'll besides be carefully watching usage, traffic and conducting further audience research, like we would after any such change.
• There will be a retrospect process and if changes need to be made, they will be considered as part of that.
• There are a few things not at the same time working exactly the way they should be - our developers and designers are tackling those now, and we are addressing them in the FAQs.
• The changes we bring forth made are based on careful research and thinking about how the locality can work at its best now, and how we can travel over sure it is adaptable enough to continue to evolve, not stand after what is stated.
