BBC News switches PC users to responsive site

The desktop version of the BBC News website will be switched off on Monday and all visitors will be directed to a newer, responsive design.

The new site adapts its layout depending on what type of device it is being used on, be it a desktop PC, tablet or mobile.

The BBC said the move reflected the change in how the majority of visitors were consuming their news.

However, some users said the design felt "empty" and "too bright".

Desktop visitors to the BBC News site have been prompted to try out the new responsive design for the past few weeks - but as of Monday all users will be forced to make the change.

At about 14:00 GMT, users will be automatically taken to the new-look site.
