Scale and adapt: A story of how we built Responsive BBC News
…presented by John Clevely at Mobilism 2013.
Life used to be easy. We created sites to work on a few browsers and when we had time we asked the new guy to build a half baked mobile version. Then the device explosion ruined our cozy happy dev life. My talk will discuss:
- How BBC News met this challenge at scale.
- How we support as many devices as possible using responsive design.
- Why performance is key to our success and how we managed to keep the site lean.
- How we scale to serve BBC News to the masses.
- What tools we use to help us along the way.

Moving Swiftly: The story of how BBC News fell in love with Responsive Web Design
…presented by Tom Maslen at BDConf, Sept 2012
BBC News relaunched its mobile website this Spring. Built using responsive design techniques, it will eventually be used to provide BBC News to mobile, tablet and desktop. The new architecture is built around giving users as fast an experience as possible, and supporting all types of devices while giving a tailored, app-like experience for smartphones.
In this presentation you will learn how a tier-1 website like BBC News (6 million pages, 20 million users a day, 40 types of content pages) has decided to go responsive, and all the steps it took to get to launch. You’ll also learn about the ongoing work that is happening to push the responsive product completely onto the desktop.
