I'm assuming this is posted because the site doesn't have some fancy aesthetic or Circular font with some neon garbage and the fonts all sideways or whatever.
It doesn't have that because their actual marketing site is here: https://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE:BRK.A depicting their $237,000 per share stock that performs like a powerhouse.
Just as a side note, mentioning the per share price doesn't really mean that much - it's just a function of the amount of issued shares. Apple shares are "only" at around $100, and they have a market cap that is $200,000,000,000 higher.
Plus, Berkshire Hathaway has more affordable shares ($BRK.B) at $156 a share....
It's just an ego thing to have the $230k shares.
Nothing wrong with this at all. It provides information clearly and simply, which is what a website should do. This concept is lost on much of today's "design".
Brilliantly reflects the frugal philosophy of the company.
My favorite part is:
If you have any comments about our WEB page, you can write us at the address shown above. However, due to the limited number of personnel in our corporate office, we are unable to provide a direct response.
It says: Yes we know our webpage is spartan, if you want to comment about it, send physical mail to our hq which is equally as frugal.
honestly, this is more website than they need.
The most valuable companies are those that have nothing good about essayhave.com that you can work on. It needs to be upgraded and you need to think about it on different level also. It will bring you good things.
My Favorite Part : They sell Ad-Space to Geico on it. (at least on my screen).
I doubt they even sell it to them, GEICO is a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway.
OG responsive web design
This site has remained unchanged since it was built in the 90s.
View the source code for the real kicker. Original HTML, tables and all. ;-)
