The front page title crowded its letters, the box was small for the page around it, and the menu was a short list. Now the page says plainly what Front Door is, and every part of the site is two taps away.

- The front page reads "Whatever you need, start here", set so the letters sit evenly on a phone and a wide screen. The box is bigger, in a bigger gray panel.
- Under the topics, "What Front Door is" says what we do and how much we read, with live counts: all 50 states and DC, all 3,144 counties, more than 7,000 cities and towns, 672 state agencies and more than 67,000 local offices, checked against more than 72,000 official pages.
- Ten kinds of help, each with its own page: Food, Housing, Goods, Transit, Health, Money, Care, Education, Work and Legal. Each one shows the federal programs that fit, asks which state you are in, then shows that state's programs. "Ask about it" opens the conversation.
- The menu has clear groups: Get help, Life events, Your account, For organizations, For agencies and About. It fills the screen on a phone and opens as a wide card on a computer.
- The footer shows the same groups, with the ten kinds of help and a new page about the vault.
- A short feedback form anyone can use, from the menu and the footer. Your name and email are optional.
- For organizations now speaks to the places people turn to for cash aid, food, shelter, basic needs, health care and legal help. The painting behind the page is gone; the paintings around the screens stay.
