The main goals of the WSJ.com redesign were to improve site performance, to create a visually dynamic reading experience, to diversify our storytelling tools and, most important, to create a website that works seamlessly across different devices and screen sizes. With the new WSJ.com, you will get a fully responsive website that does not compromise content as your screen gets smaller. In addition, we have overhauled the markets-data experience and enhanced personalized features such as watchlist and article saving.
