In my experience government sites aren't usually slow or bloated, they just look shitty.

I wouldn't call "shitty" something with a nice layout and readability. "Not trendy" – yes.
I wouldn't call the stereotypical government site a "nice layout". It seems like more often than not my experience with government sites is that I have no idea how to find the data I need.

Try finding a campground in Washington in the early spring. Is it open? Do they take reservations? Are they required? Good luck.

Agreed that trendy and usable are unrelated.

Yeah, me neither.
