The BBC’s Web Principles…
Build Web products that meet audience needs.Anticipate needs not yet fully articulated by audiences, then meet them with products that set new standards.
The very best websites do one thing really, really wellDo less, but execute perfectly.
Do not attempt to do everything yourselvesLink to other high-quality sites instead. Your users will thank you.
Use other people's content & tool to enhance your site, and vice versa.
Fall forward, fastMake many small bets, iterate wildly, back successes, kill failures,
fast.
Treat the entire Web as a creative canvasDon't restrict your creativity to your own site. Look at "One Big
Weekend".
The Web is a conversation. Join in.Adopt a relaxed, conversational tone. Admit your mistakes.
Any Website is only as good as its worst page.Ensure best practice editorial processes are adopted and
adhered to.
Make sure all your content can be linked to, forever.
Remember your granny won't ever use “Second Life” She may come online soon, with very different needs from early-adopters.
Maximise routes to contentDevelop as many aggregations of content about people, places, topics, channels, networks & time as possible. Optimise your site to rank high in Google.
Consistent design & navigation needn't mean one-size-fits-allUsers should always know they're on one of your websites, even if they all look
different. Most importantly of all, they know they won't ever get lost.
Accessibility is not an optional extra.Sites designed that way from the ground up work better for all users
Let people paste your content on the walls of their virtual homes.Let users take nuggets of content with them, with links back to your site
Link to discussions on the Web, don't host themOnly host Web-based discussions where there is a clear rationale
Personalisation should be unobtrusive, elegant and transparentAfter all, it's their most personal data. Best respect it.
Thank You
