Functionality or Pretty Pictures
There are some web designers and developers who lean towards functionality rather than pretty pictures. Then there are some who think that pretty pictures are far more important than functionality.
Whichever camp you fall into perhaps you should look at this site - http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/ -
and then review the discussion that is going on here.
Personally I’m with the guy who made this comment “Business is not about pretty sites, it’s about making money.”
But of course your mileage may vary 
With that said, the site is perfect.
