The reality is often different from what we read in academic texts.<\/p>\n<p>Proposing non disclosure agreement, however, is a vice that propagates with a certain speed. If until recently this was a problem of larger companies, more and more often I hear friends and colleagues who are asked to sign an agreement of this kind, even for projects of a few bucks.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s not what I wanted to discuss today.<\/p>\n<p>There are indeed lucky ones that are not afraid to share their experience in detail, as in the case of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/\">BBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>An example is the redesign of the weather section of their website, which has been masterfully described by the team: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/blogs\/bbcinternet\/2011\/11\/bbc_weather_design_refresh.html\">BBC Weather\u00a0Design Refresh in Pictures<\/a>. Why masterfully?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Because they illustrate the entire design process and not just a part<\/li>\n<li>Because they host graphs and charts (like the one on the 5W &#8211; Who, When, Why, Where, What) that open full screen, so you are able to read everything with no secrets<\/li>\n<li>Because they list the parts of the old site they have deleted, and the reason<\/li>\n<li>Because they are not ashamed to show that everything comes to life from sketches on paper (see <a title=\"Designing with paper\" href=\"https:\/\/fucinaweb.com\/en\/designing-with-paper\/\">Designing with paper<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Because they state their vision and how to reach it<\/li>\n<li>Because they stress the importance of icons and infographics in a project of this type.<\/li>\n<li>Because they knew that describing in detail the complex redesign would have attracted the (inevitable) criticism of those who prefer the previous version (see comments 12 and 13)<\/li>\n<li>Because they write the names of agencies and partners who have helped in the design of the site, instead of keeping them hidden (perhaps by signing a non disclosure agreement, just to return to the opening theme)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The fact they share their experience in detail probably derives from the fact that the BBC is paid for by users&#8217; taxes and this is a way to show how the networks is using this money.<\/p>\n<p>It would be nice that the Italian <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rait.it\">Rai<\/a> could do the same, but given the quality of the projects they are perhaps in the previous phase, in which they have yet to learn how to effectively design a site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can&#8217;t imagine how much I&#8217;d like to write on this site regarding the details of designing and building an online project, especially one that involves large and many different professions.
