Conversely, I like the landing page very much. I believe author made it the way it is intentionally.

Yep, completely intentional haha. Wanted to make something unconventional

Unconventional may be cool, but as it is now the page is not usable, not clear, and actually annoying. If you want to make a product out of it, it would be a good idea to rework it around some softer touches and more professional feel.

I assume the intended market is people who like this style

It may still be confusing though that’s another point

This is definitely intentional. However, there are certainly ways the design could be improved while staying true to the style.

I really like what they're doing though!

I think it’s kitschy in a cool way! Kind of like mmm.page

Yea reminded me of the geocities days where everyone had a page that was under construction (with blinking text and construction worker clip art).

That was my favorite part of this page, very nostalgic.

100%.
