Doesn't it depend on what's meant by "nicer and more professional"? 
No doubt the site could be gussied up with all kinds of 
graphic-design eye candy, but that wouldn't improve it as far as I'm 
concerned.

If a graphic designer could suggest ways to make the site easier to 
navigate, then I'd be willing to listen, but I don't think that's 
something that could be done by "just about anyone"-- my students and 
I seem to find our way around in it without undue hardship.
