I agree with Murray.  I'm sure the new design can be improved upon
some more, but the previous web pages had gotten to the point that
they actively annoyed me.  Too large, too much info crammed into
some of the pages.  I have been saving URL's directly to some inner
web pages, for no other reason than to avoid bringing up the main
web page.  And once you're AVOIDING the web page, then it doesn't
much matter how much info was crammed into it.
