Sky News

Role: Developer / User Experience

My role in the redevelopment of the Sky News website involved analysing the current content hierarchy and information structure and building a new design onto the current content that existed, as well as gap analysis. Considerable user experience work was done to improve the user journey to required content. Primary objectives were to fit the design to the new Sky News branding and improve click-through to deeper content. The client side consists of semantic mark up with modular CSS and JavaScript, all integrated into the Sky News content management system. The resulting pages were required to validate as XHTML strict, and conform to W3C and WAI AA standards.

Update: The Sky News website redesign won the NMA Effectiveness Award 2008 for Media.

Status:

No longer live. The site has undergone a further resign since this project
