Encouraging users in a continuous experience - what's the easiest and most natural journey from one programme to the next or deeper into related content?</p> <p>2. Reminding users there's a smart alternative - how could iPlayer remind existing users to return more often? How can iPlayer reach out to users wherever they are? How can existing users help to make the first experience of non-users less overwhelming?</p> <p>3. Enabling the discovery of hidden treasures - how can we make the browsing experience better, uncovering less obvious gems for new audiences?</p> <p>A very important thing to note when getting to grips with this Brief is that the iPlayer team are not looking for dual screen/companion ideas or ideas that focus on individual programmes, but rather enhancements that scale across the product. </p> <p>They will of course consider ideas for specific devices or platforms if they answer the challenges above.</p> <p>We are now open to applications and details of how to get involved are on our website.

I work in a small team dedicated to front-end frameworks and libraries used by the rest of the BBC. One of those frameworks is <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200610185338/https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2010/06/the_ins_and_outs_of_barlesque.html">Barlesque</a>.</p> <p>Ostensibly Barlesque is the header and footer of most BBC web pages. In reality it's a framework providing global templates, styles and modules.</p> <p>It currently provides three main versions - a 'Legacy' version for older pages, a fixed-width desktop version and a mobile version - 'Mobilesque'.</p> <div class="imgCaptionCenter" style="text-align: center; display: block; "><img class="mt-image-center" style="margin: 0 auto 5px;" src="/web/20200610185338im_/https://www.bbc.co.uk/staticarchive/47692fc95983740e64d769c684d6315f8c951c45.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333"><p style="margin: 0px auto 20px; width: 500px; color: #666666; font-size: 11px;">Mobilesque</p> </div> <p>Today, delivering two different versions of a page for mobile and desktop is not always desirable. There is a development overhead to creating and maintaining two different codebases and users don't want to learn different interfaces on different devices.</p> <p>Also, increasingly there is no clear delineation between what constitutes a mobile device and a desktop device. Supplying a 'desktop' experience with a (normally) higher download weight to a netbook on a train with poor connectivity might be a poor experience, even though it is equipped with a desktop-grade browser.</p> <p>Similarly, a connected TV - whilst not physically mobile - might have poor browser support for a desktop-grade experiences.</p> <p>As a result there are many teams now working on device-agnostic <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200610185338/https://blog.responsivenews.co.uk/">responsive products</a> and Barlesque has to work in a similar way.</p> <p>Because Barlesque is the 'glue' that binds the page together with every other team's products we need to be one step ahead to deliver optimal experiences, whatever the device.</p> <p>With this in mind a few months back we started developing a new version of Barlesque - codenamed ORB - or 'One Response Barlesque'. The One Response referring to our goal of having a single, cacheable response that will be quick to load on slow devices and connections.</p> <p class="read_more"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200610185338/https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2012/11/going_responsive.html" rel="bookmark">Read the rest of this entry</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="post" id="entry-312630"> <h2><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200610185338/https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2012/11/homepage_carousel_changes.html" rel="bookmark">New carousel for the BBC Homepage</a></h2> <div class="meta"> <div class="flt-r" style="width:180px"> <p style="text-align:right"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200610185338/https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2012/11/homepage_carousel_changes.html" title="Comments made about this entry." rel="comments">Comments </a></p> <div class="flt-r bbc-st bbc-st-slim bbc-st-colour bbc-st-light"> <a href="/web/20200610185338/https://www.bbc.co.uk/modules/sharetools/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fblogs%2Fbbcinternet%2F2012%2F11%2Fhomepage_carousel_changes.html&appId=news">Share this page</a> </div> </div> <div style="float:left; width:420px"> <p class="categories">Post categories: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200610185338/https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/homepage/" rel="tag" title="">Homepage</a> </p> <p class="flt-l user-pic"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200610185338/https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/eleni_sharp/"> <img class="author_pic" src="/web/20200610185338im_/https://www.bbc.co.uk/staticarchive/715fc1a1250729e9560773bcd9fb763b3b445345.png" width="50" alt="Eleni Sharp"></a> <span class="vcard author"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200610185338/https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/eleni_sharp/">Eleni Sharp</a></span> <span class="separator">|</span> <abbr class="published" title="2012-11-13T09:29:27+00:00">09:29 UK time, Tuesday, 13 November 2012</abbr> </p> </div> <div class="cleardiv"></div> </div> <div class="post_content"> <div class="imgCaptionCenter" style="text-align: center; display: block; "> <img alt="Changes to BBC Homepage carousel high-lighted" src="/web/20200610185338im_/https://www.bbc.co.uk/staticarchive/6c87f50909fe32f110d03a4d5120987b4d1d3c2e.jpg" width="595" height="595" class="mt-image-center" style="margin: 0 auto 5px;"><p style="width:595px;font-size: 11px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);margin: 0 auto 20px;">Changes to the BBC Homepage highlighted - a new flavour bar and a simplified carousel </p></div> <p>Hello, I'm Eleni Sharp, Product Manager of the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200610185338/https://www.bbc.co.uk/">BBC Homepage</a>. </p> <p>I'm delighted to tell you about a development on the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200610185338/https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/homepage/">Homepage</a> which the team and I have been working on and which went live yesterday.</p> <p>We have been developing the following new features to the carousel which takes up the top half of the page.

With the Games now over, it's time to consider what's next: what is the future of online Sport coverage? How can we make the best use of new technologies, ever-increasing Internet connectivity, and social media growth, to offer more to the BBC's audiences? That's a big question, so it's excellent timing that we have the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200610185338/https://www.bbcconnectedstudio.co.uk/?page_id=5">Sport Connected Studio </a>to help.</p> <p>The BBC Connected Studio programme has its own <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200610185338/https://www.bbcconnectedstudio.co.uk/">website</a> with all the details, but here's a summary:</p> <p>Over the course of the year the programme works with ten BBC Online product teams of which BBC Sport is the 6th. You can attend as an individual or a business/organisation, and there's some financial support available for the later stages. (See the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200610185338/https://www.bbcconnectedstudio.co.uk/?page_id=7">FAQ</a> for more.)
