With any UI redesign, you have to ask yourself: is it better or is it just different? If it's better, the improvements should be easy to point out and any changes introduced should have clear motivations.

How many easily readable sites have changed to "prettier" fonts and light colored text on white backgrounds in the last 15 years?
