But it's still a lot worse than the simple web page builders (using a web-based UI) that have been around for 15 years or so. Why not just use about.me or some similar modern service?

Certainly we can do better, but 20 carefully researched one-liners aren't nearly as technologically advanced, elaborate and useful as a well-crafted, intuitive UI with a more maintainable end result.

We can do better than 3 pieces of About.me advertising over our homepage, including a modal: http://i.imgur.com/p9NY8k6.jpg
