The San Francisco Chronicle announced the launch of the new homepage SFGate.com, as part of a redesign.

The news site has simpler and top-of-the-page navigation, which allow users to access to multimedia features, and more search tools.

The homepage offers a variety of stories, including breaking news, entertainment, sports and features. It is intended to serve as the primary gateway to SFGate's content for Bay Area readers.

The new design also includes News, Sports, Business, Technology, and Living sections, Editor & Publisher reported.
