Lol...that is complete dogst.Considering how much the company is worth, the website it diabolical.
An old website doesn't mean its dog st.
The company I work for developing websites has a st website, but I built it 18 months ago. Why is it st? Well the navigation is bks, it was designed by a print designer, not one stakeholder other than myself had any idea bout user flow and/or user experience, and not one stakeholder listened to me. I'm just the coding bh that gets it done.
The Berkshire Hathaway website, when all is said and done, is a good website because it's at least simple to navigate and know what's going on.
A website can be dripping in the latest fashion trends of big bold fonts and lots of pictures, but it's utter garbage if you can't navigate it properly.
Full disclosure: Can't share my work's website, as 1) I'm ashamed of it and 2) It'd identify me fairly quickly.

But I was more alluding to the whole customer experience ( I know BerkshireHathaway are probably not sure of customers) and personally think it is unlikely to attract new customers on the website alone.
Can you imagine a new start up creating a website like that? I could probably make one like that.
Either way, I agree with you, an ugly website is not always a bad website.

At the bottom of the home page it saysConsidering how much the company is worth, the website it diabolical.
"If you have any comments about our WEB page, you can write us at the address shown above. However, due to the limited number of personnel in our corporate office, we are unable to provide a direct response"
Reckon they've had a few people contacting them to say exactly that?

I don't see a problem with that website.Considering how much the company is worth, the website it diabolical.
It may not be web2.0 built on React and a Go backend, but it's fast, clear, and easily readable.
