False choice. VCs have a functionally unlimited budget-- they can give a damn about both with a negligible cost.
And their web site isn't a "facade"-- it's how they communicate with their future portfolio companies, press, people looking for jobs at startups, new partner/associate prospects, LPs, etc.

Most VCs can be incredibly cheap when it comes to these types of expenses, for whatever reason they are not willing to pay what it takes to get it done well.
