Interactivity

The CBBC (childrens bbc) is a fantastic site full of interactive elements...

Specifically aimed at children the front page offers links in to various areas with icons and text .

The color scheme is bright and simple ....the pages are easy to scan "view for info".

Navigation is well laidout and there is a very good flow through the page content.

The speed at which the interactive games is good, on basic broadband.

There is good feedback when one of the links doesnt work....informing you of what has happened and some options you can choose from eg try again later, hit back arrow etc.

The background contains many mouse "roll overs" triggering sounds and movement.

There is constant movement in the background with acompanying sounds.

The background is downloadable as a screen saver.

There is a selection of browser based games, where you can play games with favorite animated characters from bbc programes and areas where you can "have your say" (post your comments on the site)

All the main cbbc programs are here with the ability to view again on the bbc iplayer.

However .....some of the content is not available to viewers outside the UK.

This is I believe because of copyright and various other leagal issues.

All in all a very well contructed web site providing great content to its viewers.....pity about the limitations on some of the content to overseas viewers though.
