It all comes down to audience. If your target market is the 65+ crowd, they're
not gonna care about design, as long as they can get done what they need to when
they come to the site. New design might annoy them, and they wont want to deal
with adapting to a new interface just so they can use the site. On the other
hand, if your target market is the 18-and-under crowd, OLD design will scare them
away, or just bore them away.
