Ugly is subjective. I like it. It's actually readable and easy to navigate.

On small width device the menu will be on the bottom, so there's no duplication. (website seems to be responsive)

I like that the menu is on the bottom and not hidden behind a hamburger button.

Not just on small width devices! The navigation menu is at the bottom if you look at the website in lynx, too (with a link to it at the top).
