From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The webaite could be nicer, but I wouldn't call that a big problem. Plain debian is mostly used for webservers or by users with at least some linux experience. These won't struggle that much with clicking the right link on the website.
I prefer the Debian website over most other distro's modern look. It's simple, like Debian.
I wouldnt call it simple and I definitely see issues with the UX from a actual usability standpoint but I don't think it has to be modernized or should be simplified for beginners, that's not the goal of Debian!
