Clicking through the website, I don't find it unbelievable that this is a DIY website of a local computer shop. There are tons of small business websites like this out there, and while they don't inspire a sense of legitimacy in people unfamiliar with their store front, it's not a problem for those that are.
Well, that was my first impression anyway. There's an address on the website that points to a residential area, not a commercial area. If the was an actual storefront they probably wouldn't do that: http://goo.gl/qkT4l http://goo.gl/qkT4l (maps.google.com). Still, if the website is bringing in enough money to live on, a lot of small website owners tend not to keep up with current best practices, and the site was created in 1994. It looks to be of its era, I would say.

I'm determined to buy what will probably be my last desktop (simply because of the increasing utility of laptops/tablets) soon[1] and would like to buy one from a small business locally. Good heavens, they all need to find undergraduates who will code for parts or something! I suppose if you are running the business and the Web site generates sales, you just leave it ticking...
