Maybe.

I once raised a seed round with a dirt-simple (deliberately) deck that was just black and white text, Times New Roman default powerpoint style with zero design elements other than bullet points.

I got a lot of comments about how refreshing it was to just let the ideas and data stand for themselves without frills.

I accept that a deck and a website are not the same thing, but there is value in sometimes deliberately under-designing something.
