The official KISS website, kissonline.com, has had a complete redesign including simplification and making it easier to browse for KISS music & videos.

From Pophouse:
KISS (Pophouse) has made a complete re-design of the website. Why? Because the old website was not functioning properly. The backend was outdated and many features simply could not be fixed without a total do-over. It’s also because Pophouse wants to bring KISS into the future, and part of that is working through all the different interactions fans have with KISS, website being one of them. Right now, the functionality is kept as simple as possible – with focus on simplifying the design, emphasizing the music and the music videos and making a serious facelift to the KISS Army. Going forward, Pophouse is committed to continuously improving the fan experience and solidifying Kissonline as the definitive destination for everything KISS.
