Sprucing up websites

Sometimes sprucing up is good. One of my local yarn shops just rearranged everything in their brick and mortar store (this is their website) and it's much much easier to see what's in the store and to get around.
Sometimes sprucing up is not all that good. I do not particularly like the new look at cnn.com because it seems boring and less clear than it was previously. I started to write that it looks more corporate but even as I say so I'm not sure what I mean except that it looks less informational or news-filled and more annual report. Sometimes words fail one's ability to be accurately descriptive.
I find the LA Times front page easy to read, informative in a page-like way and pleasant to peruse - having said which, I hope some poltergeist is not karmically tempted to run out and "update" it.
