I think this[1] is a good compromise between excessively brutalist websites like the one you mentioned or Zain Amro's site[2] and blogs pretending to be SPAs built with stuff like Bootstrap or Gatsby. Yes, I think React as a static site generator is overkill. But I'm old, and I don't see why a personal website should "appeal to society at large". Society at large isn't paying for domain registration or hosting, and they certainly aren't maintaining the site.

Well, keep in mind the ask doesn't relate to personal websites.

I didn't want to put a specific boundary on the type of website, but really, I'm most interested in commercial websites; since they have the most need to strike a balance between appeal and quality engineering.
