SALT LAKE CITY — Stage two of testing the new KSL.com site redesign begins Monday as we roll out article pages in addition to the home page. Click here to see the new look.

We believe the site belongs to the community and we appreciate all the feedback we received after the initial preview. We've incorporated several changes you requested and we'll continue to respond to your feedback as we make refinements. We're planning for another release later this summer.

What has changed?

As with the new home page, the article pages are now responsive. Rather than redirecting a mobile user to a different version of the site, the page adapts to whatever device you might be using. Try out the new look on your phone or tablet and let us know what you think.

Photo galleries and extra story features are featured more prominently than before. Large thumbnail images at the bottom of each story give the reader a better glimpse at the contents of the galleries.

Videos will no longer replace the anchor image, but will be attached in a vertical list before the story body. This gives the videos more prominence than before. As always, you’ll find our television reports, relevant YouTube clips, user-submitted videos and KSL.com videos here.

The comment board is now attached to the story and can be expanded to view or comment.

Advertising has been organized to provide a better experience for users and better exposure for local advertisers. KSL.com readers and local businesses together create an online community unlike any other. We're proud to be the No. 1 local news website and marketplace in the state.

What happened to your feedback?

We have tried our best to address the most requested features including more stories per view, showing the story description and changing the font. Please continue submitting feedback that is specific in nature about what exactly you like or don’t like.

We will continue to take feedback about the home page and story page redesign either in the comment boards of this story or on the feedback form.

“This is the community’s website. This is where the community goes, so that’s why we want the community to help us make it,” said Russell Banz, Vice President of Products for Deseret Digital Media, the parent company of KSL.com.

Known issues:

1. KSL.com header does not appear on Android 2.3.x
