Probably a lot. I've worked with embarrassingly bad looking websites that were making millions of dollars in revenue, only to see it drop off a cliff after a "modern" redesign. The truth is that the general public sees a much different thing as they browse the web than we do. Things like legibility, simplicity, and speed are far more important than advanced features.

- paulddraper 10y agoA couple years ago, my employer redesigned their credit card page from a slightly cluttered, clunky design to a cleaner, more modern version. Nothing fancy, certainly nothing heavy, just your typical Web 1.0 -> 2.0 CSS adjustment. Payments plummeted by 5-10%. Didn't understand it. Reverted the change, and still have Web 1.0 UI to this day.
