You have taken something that was usable, functional and simple, and turned it into the opposite. I have no idea why you let a UX designer roll this out, and even more so why you allowed an exec/director to sign this off. Everyone expects a design to be refreshed to follow new trends but what you had was so good that you are now at risk of alienating your core users. I have stopped coming to your site because it's so terrible. I really hope you change it back
