The BBC’s Fifteen Web Principles
DRAFT
![Page 12: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Principle #1
• Build web products that meet user needs: anticipate needs not yet fully articulated by users, then meet them with products that set new standards.
![Page 13: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
![Page 15: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Principle #2
• The very best websites do one thing really, really well: do less, but execute perfectly.
![Page 16: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Principle #3
• Do not attempt to do everything yourselves: link to other high-quality sites instead. Your users will thank you. Use other people's content and tools to enhance your site, and vice versa.

Principle #4
• Fall forward, fast: make many small bets, iterate wildly, back successes, kill failures, fast.
![Page 23: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Principle #5
• Treat the entire web as a creative canvas: don't restrict your creativity to your own site.
![Page 25: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Principle #6
• The web is a conversation. Join in: Adopt a relaxed, conversational tone. Admit your mistakes.
![Page 28: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Principle #7
• Any website is only as good as its worst page: Ensure best practice editorial processes are adopted and adhered to.
![Page 30: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The BBC’s worst page?
![Page 31: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Principle #8
• Make sure all your content can be linked to, forever.
![Page 32: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Principle #9
• Remember your granny won't ever use Second Life: She may come online soon, with very different needs from early-adopters.
![Page 34: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
![Page 35: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Principle #10
• Maximise routes to content: Develop as many aggregations of content about people, places, topics, channels, networks & time as possible. Optimise your site to rank high in Google.
![Page 36: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
![Page 37: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Principle #11
• Consistent design and navigation needn't mean one-size-fits-all: Users should always know they're on one of your websites, even if they all look very different. Most importantly of all, they know they won't ever get lost.
![Page 38: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
![Page 39: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Principle #12
• Accessibility is not an optional extra: Sites designed that way from the ground up work better for all users.
![Page 40: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Principle #13
• Let people paste your content on the walls of their virtual homes: Encourage users to take nuggets of content away with them, with links back to your site
![Page 42: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Principle #14
• Link to discussions on the web, don't host them: Only host web-based discussions where there is a clear rationale
![Page 44: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Principle #15
• Personalisation should be unobtrusive, elegant and transparent: After all, it's your users' data. Best respect it.
![Page 46: BBC2.0: The BBC’s 15 Web Principles](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/5486d960b4af9fc0438b4736/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

And if Fifteen is too many…
…here’s Five:
• Straightforward• (simple,
uncomplicated)
• Functional• (usable, useful)
• Gregarious• (sociable,
participatory)
• Open• (exposed, unguarded)
• Evolving• (emergent, growing)
