NRKbeta: at a glance
Posted on | June 6, 2008 |
NRKbeta’s facebook group has just passed the 1000 fans landmark, so I decided to take a look. What is it? What do they do? What do they write about? I was faced by the following screens, HP above the fold, and HP after first page-down. At a glance? Disturbing….
Of course, I must mention a couple of things. Firstly, you don’t really need to look at my screenshot, as you can just visit the website. Secondly, my own blog isn’t the best, neither design-wise nor usability-wise (however, I will improve on both as I have some time :-D).
But I’d expect a lot more from a project spinning off the Norwegian National Broadcasting service, and whose positioning I understand to be rather on the cool side of the spectrum. The posts themselves may be excellent, that I don’t know. But, frankly, at a glance, I was put off by the messy design….

Hi, thanks for mentioning NRKbeta.
And yes, you’re right. NRKbeta looks more like NRKbeta beta now. And has been looking way to basic way too long. We have been working with a new and very much improved design for a long time. But due to other respnsibilities, server problems etc. we haven’t been able to finish the new design.
