It was from the days where people self hosted and used to put up a websites for fun

It's a shame there are no more people putting up fun websites anywhere. /s

Oh, they are, but they're drowned out by "look at this create-react-app hackathon project I made! VCs pls give me a series A thx". Alas, the web is now a profit engine first.

A create-react-app hackathon project is absolutely a valid instance of "putting up websites for fun."

I agree with you. I believe that having fun is subjective. I've actually done both things mentioned for fun. I also had the bonus fun of learning a new thing to boot.

It's ironic given that one of the services they apparently offer is website development

I was about to point that out as well. Given the website apparently belongs to a computer business and web development provider, the presentation is, lets say, not optimal of todays standards.

It's more usable than a lot of sites that are completely bloated.
