Some of my other favourite low-bloat/retro websites (interesting overlap with internet legends):

* Richard Stallman: https://stallman.org/

* Programming in the 21st century: https://prog21.dadgum.com/

Even a commercial website that represents hundreds of billions of $ does not need to be bloated:

http://www.berkshirehathaway.com

I find the Geico ad to be an interesting addition. Seems rather out of place, regardless of the fact that they are a subsidiary of BH.

> 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.

Love it.

And the 'address above' is a physical street address!

They mean write it on paper and put it in the mail.

yup. As in they don't want to hear from you unless you have such important criticism that you are gonna sit down, write a letter and mail it.

Another billions of $ managed on a stealth website: https://www.rentec.com/

(Those behind Cambridge Analytica, btw)

A small-caps header made only with <font>-tags. From the time when web designers cared about the craft!

Love that they provide their financials in machine readable format.

Where? I just see a link to the Edgar filings which are mandatory for publicly traded companies in the US.
