Chappie’s verdict on berkshirehathaway.com

88
/100 suck score

This site sucks

Chappie thinks this website is a time capsule from when GeoCities was cutting-edge.

Chappie found a website that's worth more money than almost anyone on Earth, made by a company that apparently spent zero dollars on it. Chappie thinks that's kind of hilarious and kind of amazing at the same time. It's like a billionaire wearing the same shoes for 30 years — technically a choice, Chappie guesses.

waking chappie…

Chappie reads the verdict out loud. He will laugh. It’s not personal. (It’s a little personal.)

GLASS · design
Glass says the tiny bold serif header and wall-of-links layout look like they were built in a text editor by someone in a hurry to get back to reading the newspaper.
FORGE · engineering
Forge notes no viewport meta means this breaks on every phone, no favicon, no og:image, and 'generator MSHTML 8.00' suggests this HTML hasn't been touched since Internet Explorer roamed free.
SKEPTIC · the copy
Skeptic points out there's no actual description of what Berkshire Hathaway does anywhere on the homepage — just links, a GEICO ad, and a note that they won't email you back.
