“Starting today, a fresh look and new features are coming to Google Calendar on the web to help you manage your time more efficiently and get more done,” Google Calendar product manager Lars Kruger writes. “We’re taking a lot of what you know and love from Calendar’s mobile application, like the modern color palette and sleek design, and bringing it to the web with a responsive layout that auto-adjusts to your screen size. We’ve also added more features for enterprises to help teams schedule and prepare for meetings.”

Here's what is new in the web version of the Google Calendar:

a) Responsive design- The web version of Google Calendar now sports a modern, colorful, and sleek design. It’s responsive, too, so it should look and work well across different form factors.
