I ask because the decision to totally scrap your existing way of doing things for a 'newer' way is risky. There is a large investment of time/energy required and you may lose what you already have.
Smaller, more frequent changes or slower gradual ones are easier to implement.

It depends what your goal is. So let's go way way back to one of my early free sites. I started a big boob tgp. I was still in university and pam anderson was the biggest sex star alive. i thought hmm let me start a big boob tgp and load it up with pam anderson type girls. Fit girls with big fake tits. Traffic was flat. No growth. No emails. Nothing. Then I listed a Lindsey Dawn Mckenzie gallery and a Dazie Kellog gallery. Two natural girls. My sales, traffic and email feedback went through the roof. The feedback was clear. NATURAL was the way to go. It wasn't what I wanted but it was the path that would yield the best results and it did.
Never scrap something because of what one person says. Scrap based on data and your intuition. One thing I learned a long time ago is that a good design or layout does well from day 1. It doesn't take 100 days to finally start working. So if you switch a design and test it for 7 days you should have the data to know if users are engaging more with it, returning to it, consuming it etc.
Here is a great video for you. The art of knowing what data to listen to and what feedback to listen to is key. It's the art that differentiates the best from the rest.
