Hello, I'd say calling it a 'terrible website' is somewhat subjective. I'm not a fan of single-page websites or websites which won't load with a plethora of other javascript libraries. Also, as the person, who 'nominated' systemd for having a 'terrible website' said in the thread you linked - "I like this kind of simplicity" - which is also true. The current systemd homepage is pretty simple, without any additional distracting eye-candy, and it's getting the job done really well, for a 'fancy' man page (and as a bonus, it works in elinks/links/lynx!).
Also, there is a second systemd website, again pretty bare-bones, generated using GH pages[0]. That said, this is just my personal opinion, not in any way affiliated with the systemd organization. Also, I'm not trying to disrespect your offer, just pointing out different aspects of the current website :-).
