Consider this design a placeholder as its purpose, while temporary, is meant to replace what would otherwise be an unstyled template. I don’t know about you but I’d much rather see a sparsely-styled layout than the bare minimum, default browser style. The latter can be quite the eyesore, especially if you suddenly have blurred vision or if that tune in your head, yes that one, is preventing you from thinking straight.

For weeks I’ve contemplated whether I’d do this redesign live or behind the scenes and while I can weigh the advantages of keeping it behind close doors, personally I’ve always enjoyed seeing designs flourish live, even if live means “a span of 30 days or more.”
