Redesign makes & made the difference

Last week, our designer Kunal spent his day to redesign the home page of aoa.org (American Optometric Association)
Though it was Visual Redesign test assignment, he took the liberty to incorporate his quick UX suggestions based on the evaluation of the existing website home page. Here we are sharing an outcome- A New Home Page of aoa.org
How did you find this new home page as compared to the existing there online?
