With bright blue as major tones, the design of the website is both Guangzhou-focused and globally-oriented. On the one hand, the use of curves has created the image of the Pearl River, which is a typical symbol of Guangzhou's vitality and cultural richness.

There are three versions of the website – simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese and English, meeting the need of users from different cultural backgrounds. In addition to Homepage, the website is divided into seven sections, which are News, The Competition, Venues, Volunteers, Previous Games, Para-Sports and Amazing Guangzhou.
