I very much dislike the current ITV website, however this new one doesn't seem that much better. It looks very un-organised and also messy. They need to have a better layout and make it more organised. Also all the page doesn't need to be crammed!

Well I disagree anyway. Judging on the picture alone, I think it looks great. I love the media player at the left and the bit at the top right, where you can flick through the different shows, brilliant addition.I know why you think it would look cramped, but un-organised? I think the layout is great, and if I'm honest, I really love it. Sorry. Laughing

It does look cramped still, but its got a well good (sorry - couldn't resist) colour scheme. Noticed a 'wach live' thing near the video - will you be able to wach ITV1,2etc. live on the iternet?

Also - wasn't there a rumour that the BBC was going to do that as well?

Yes, I think they'll be streaming at least ITV1 on the internet, like Channel 4 currently does. And the BBC also has it's iPlayer which they will be launching soon, once it has been approved by the BBC Trust.

I think what will really make this successful is the fact that the majority of the content is free, like the BBC's will be. Apart from sports and other premium content, the majority of ITV's output will be free, unlike Channel 4's offering.

I like it very much, but I have to put accross it does look very un-organised in some parts. I like the menu bar and the new tools at the top right hand corner Laughing

your signature is too large. please sort it out.


for a homepage that layout would work. I'd be interested to see the content of other sites. Remember bbc.co.uk's homepage crams an awful lot of rubbish into a small space.

I aso lik the fact that the main image on the homepage runs under the video box, makes the box seem more important. This service means the advertising cost goes up on the website, so it is a good investment.

Brand new layout for the ITV.COM homepage (similar to the ITV1 + 2 + 3 + 4 pages) check it out. I am glad its temp however as its not the best! www.itv.com and also some of the pages are a mess @ the top e.g http://www.itv.com/page.asp?partid=2903 ITV A-Z

Best design so far but still not great. I'm glad that it's relaunching soon. Not much point re-designing it really is it?
