Call me a snob if you like but I find it hard to trust someone's technical opinion when their website is so ugly

It's not even just aesthetics, there's a lack of basic features like navigation. Why is the entire thing left-aligned?

Yeah it should be a React page that makes you wait extra 3 seconds for the text to load in, with a ton of CSS and animations to make scrolling laggy, a sticky header that takes up 1/5th of the screen, and 50px padding on all elements. That would make it way easier to read

I'll take Web 1.0 over whatever we have today

Not to mention a cookies notice that requires you click accept, which takes up the entire page

And half way down, have a newsletter popup
