Usability gurus often advice not to try to make everybody happy. You are probably very far from Apple's niche market.
DJB's cr.yp.to is the most minimal possible site, which has it's merits. But navigating the site is highly impractical. No search, no breadcrumbs, no menu. The text uses 100% width of the page making it hard to read, specially in wide monitors. Black on white is hard on the eyes for long text.
To be fair, the site keeps the same layout and hierarchy all across.
