This conflates websites as a medium of art or personal expression vs websites as a medium of business communication. For the latter, I just want to get the point across quickly and painlessly. For the former, everyone is welcome to design whatever they want and consume as much time is required.

I’ve used bootstrap themes successfully quite a few times for internal applications.

I just pick something that uses stock bootstrap and adjust the colors, shapes, sizes, and font to taste. Add some extra utility classes or widgets. Maybe an icon library and a logo or two. If you’re looking for it, you may notice it’s bootstrap. At least it looks like someone put work into it.

The phone number at the bottom of the page seems to be a legitimate phone number for "Berg Consulting and Technology Leadership" in Wisconsin, US. Hopefully that is actually the site owner's number and not someone else's.

It is actually his phone number, the website (dagusa.com) is on the same IP as report.ly, which is the real mailto right next to it. The same phone number is on that page.

And it looks totally fine. Thanks for making sure those gates are kept though. So what should be done to appease you? Add some corporate memphis? Maybe do some cool brutalist stuff that gets designers excited and that no other human being in the world wants?

What are the gates in this situation? The gates of design? What do the gates keep out? I'm honestly confused.
