How often can you really watch a project under construction? Rarely. Occasionally you read a case study or how we made ​​of a known site, but that is always talking afterwards. Then we often talk about how beautiful and well it has become, and are often problems or challenges with a "oh, that was all right 'aside. But what if you could see them during the construction of a new version of one of the world's biggest news?

The BBC is always trying to innovate and improve their huge site. They are currently busy with a responsive web design and this complex process is performed on a test site called Responsive News . On its blog , the team explained what they encounter and how they experienced certain things and problems overcome. Very instructive. Also check the video with a number of experiments in action.
