That is not my impression at all. The front page is in need of some
freshening up, but the appearance and performance of the site overall are
hugely satisfying to me. Yes, that is right. The design of the site
satisfies me a lot!
I find your correspondents' impressions baffling. Are they perhaps confusing
"shopping site" with "professionally designed"?
But the front page isn't the whole look and feel. It's definitely a first
impression. I would think even the most casual of users would discover that
within one click. (I guess I am agreeing that the font page has some
disconnect from the site as a whole.) But didn't Suzanne announce a planned
overhaul?
