My friend was brought in by a client after the previous contractor had spent 300+ hours coding a simple organizational website - here is who we are, here is our phone number - using node.js. I doubt the website will ever see more than 20 concurrent visitors.

Even still, that's just the completely wrong technology to use for something like this regardless of scale. It sounds like it's literally static content. Just write an HTML file directly if it's a single page, or use something like `Assemble` to get easily re-usable partial support if you have multiple pages that want to share a header and footer or something.
It was 5-10 pages. Static content. Yeah, even if they had 10k concurrent users node.js would have been the wrong technology.
It's probably featured in the Previous Contractor's portfolio though.
