I think the problem with this whole notion is that you didn't get a $25,000 website. The results look like something that could have been bought off of themeforest.net for $50 and installed in under an hour. Nothing wrong with that at all but let's not go conflating things.

And just to be clear, there are many amazing freelancers or small agencies out there that deal in the sub $5k price range that would provide the same level of service discussed in the blog post. Hell, as a small investment firm it should be obvious that there's room for both big and small and everything in between in any industry.
