The Guardian Debuts New Site

After more than a year spent tinkering with a new site, the new TheGuardian.com is live. The site features responsive design, a customizable homepage, and an easier-to-read article page.

The Guardian takes a different approach to comments than most media companies — specifically, the editors not only allow them, they celebrate them. That strategy continues with the new site. Readers have the option of making comment threads more prominent, and Guardian editor-selected “Featured Comments” are highlighted throughout articles.

After some backend construction, the new site was rolled out to a select few Guardian readers early last year.
