I've been folding for a few months now. I was critical of the old website. I found it very dense in both a visual sense and also the amount of info provided, but not intuitive to a new user who had stumbled into the whole deal with no guidance or background.
I think the new website is a major step forward from the point of new or potential new users. Those who have been folding for some time may be annoyed at the change, but as far as I can see all the relevant info is there, and at least as past users you will have some idea of what you are looking for!
The new website is a major step in the right direction, the trick now is to keep some impetus on upgrading the whole site (the deeper pages) and keeping the site live - small frequent updates.
Between v7, the updated Wiki, the new site and good science this is an exciting time for the project.
