The quality of the site is not coming from the quality of web design (it's not that good).
It's the purity of the function that leads to good design. The function is to provide information for stock owners and potential investors, many of them are old people. The site is not trying to sell, influence or impress. Berkshire is selling nothing to consumers or visitors. Their subsidiaries that sell have their own websites.
Berkshire HQ has just 25 staffers. Their subsidiaries employ close to 400,000 people.
