The Internet has changed since the 2006 overhaul of LDS.org, and now LDS.org has been changed to take advantage of the new possibilities.

Launched officially on November 30, 2010, the new LDS.org, also referred to as LDS.org 3.0, emphasizes the teachings of living prophets, facilitates online gospel study, provides ways to share the gospel, makes materials easier to find, and provides content in several languages.

The creation of the new site was also a good time for Church leaders to refocus the site's strategy.

"LDS.org's … content has been driven more by what Church departments need than by the audience's needs," said Elder Craig C. Christensen of the Seventy. "In redesigning this site, we asked, 'What do Church members need, and how can the Church help them?'"
