		<description>The changes aren&#039;t purely cosmetic though, if it was just a shiney new homepage id agree that yes its either to simply show off or improve sales. The new Alpha site is that, a new site. Things such as the cross sell at the checkout stage aren&#039;t to make it look better and I wouldn’t class changes like this as &#039;look &amp; feel&#039; changes but more &#039;functionality&#039;.

Yes it looks nicer (although customers used to the old site would probably disagree - some people just don’t like change!) but a nice looking site doesn’t necessarily mean a better converting site.

Functionality wise its also much improved with better internal linking, better site search, faster availability checks &amp; cleaner checkout process – but of course any affiliate of Alpha’s would know that, come on Ash when you going to get signed up and start doing some sales!</description>

		<description>I agree! Why would a company make any cosmetic changes if it didn&#039;t expect better sales as a result?</description>

		<description>&quot;Hopefully it should be a bit more friendly now. This shouldn’t affect sales much at all as its purely cosmetic.&quot; ... hum being a usability guru i would have to disagree with this!... :D a more firendly site should equaly more sales...as people will find it easier to use and not leave the site when they shouldnt!...</description>
