As noted by Julio Ricardo Varela, founder of the Latino Rebels newspaper and radio, the Spanish language version can be accessed directly from the site's main menu or by typing directly into the address bar whitehouse.gov/es.

Although this detail may seem a trivial thing, it is good to remember that in the United States Spanish is the second most spoken language: over 41 million citizens use it. The Spanish language version had already been developed during the Bush and Obama administrations but was eliminated by Trump, justifying it as a "site restructuring".

The site also introduced "high contrast" night mode , which changes the background from white to black and the texts from patriotic blue to a dull orange to decrease eyestrain. For a better use of the texts, a function has also been included to increase the size of the characters.
