BBC have just released a new update to their Sport page! A much needed one as well!

Particularly like the top menu bar that inverts colour on mouseover

BBC Sport - Sport

Too cluttered imo. Too much going on. And dislike the usage of yellow.

it is a bit yellow.

It may look cluttered but it was like it was before. instead of being on the left hand side with a list, it is just at the top and across.

They need to update the news section now, they have already done the homepage and sports, why not the news pages. lol

They've updated the news site quite recently.

It looked like this in 2010:

True but the rest of the homepage is kinda sleeker. I thought they would redo the news pages since that maybe just as much viewed as sports.

To the point that they have to start bitching and whinging about a bit of yellow here and there?

Why not concentrate on the content and how its delivered rather than pointless moaning about cosmetics?

No offense to anyone that's commented here but ffs, there are more things to worry about than yellow graphics on a generic news/sport website.

You go there to get a bit of news, nothing more

People prefer things that are more visually appealing, if you see a poorly made site then you would navigate away from it as you associate the content to be the same, the same you would with a property or a restaurant.

You have less than 3 seconds to attract a user and although the content may be top quality, if the design isn't then it will put some users off.

The difference is that this is the BBC, not a n00b site that needs to attract new visitors.
People will use this no matter what it looks like because it already has that element of trust.

Just my opinion of course...

Yup, give it a few days and people will have forgotten what the old version looked like.
