The redesign has been complete disaster for readability on the desktop.
Go look at:

See how little actual information they've managed to fit into the desktop design, you have to scroll miles just to scan the stories.
The design itself is rubbish with everything seemingly randomly spaced out.
Not impressed at all.
I'm actually getting really disillusioned with the mobile first movement, what it seems to actually mean is completely broken desktop experiences.
And bootstrap, as much as I love it, is part of the problem moving to mobile first.
- LoonyPandora 13y agoI can see zero difference in the information density between the existing non-responsive design of that page [0], and the beta version of the responsive design [1]. While your point that mobile first design inevitably causes a lack of information density at desktop resolutions has some merit, it does not apply in this case.

- mattmanser 13y agoThey have been using those blogs to test the new layout. If you went there over the last few months you'd be asked to give feedback on the new design.
- hrkristian 13y agoI could not agree more. BBC.co.uk used to be one of my daily check-ins, before the redesign some months back which brought with it that horrible slideshow with unintelligible pictures and a ridiculous lack of text. I can't actually find what I'm looking for anymore, and I never even bothered making an effort to. Awful.
