Contemplating a new site design

So, the current site design is getting a bit stale.

I was thinking of using a completely different design concept... something more open and with lighter colors.

What I had in mind was sort of a "paper" theme.

Ah, yes, back in the old days, when web sites were done on paper.

And delivered on foot.

I think we called those newspapers.

I'll be here all week folks, tip your waitresses.

About how often do you think a site should be re-designed? I ask because some of my co-workers were talking with me about that. Our company is hiring a firm to do an overhaul of the corporate intranet site.

That would be nice. I know sometimes sites looks get kind of stale.

With bigger monitors some styles look outdated.
