Exemplary use of hyperlinks and headlines

I think the BBC News Web site uses most of this module’s criteria for smart hyperlinking and textual organization.

  1. This Web site’s front page maximizes functionality; it’s headlines are descriptive and hyperlinked to follow on stories. Even when read alone, or out of context, the hyperlinks make sense to readers.

  1. There is a low-graphic version that enables low-bandwidth users to opt for less imagery, while accessing the same content. The site benefits from lots of images and graphics, but the low-graphic version shows sensitivity for non-broadband users.

  1. The format of the site is consistent throughout. No page is a dead end, and navigational aids ensure users will not get “lost.”

great choice of a web site. allison chose this one too.

bbc is in my Top 5, mostly because of how straight-forward it is, in not unexpected british upper-lip fashion. just the facts, ma'am.

i believe we could do with a lot less attempts at cute if for no other reason than so many of these attempts fail.
