Well, a site depends on the hosting. And there is not much a website owner can do about it.
I think they ve handled it well.
257 Btc in few hours.
Is this fast or what?
No. Yesterday Gnosis raised $12 mil in about 15 minutes.
However, Gnosis was setup in a way that encouraged people to bid irrationally (dutch auction).
Nonetheless, I think this lacks strong marketing, a premier name associated with the project, and the issues with the website today don't help one bit. I like the project, but when your whole plan is to build a financial platform and you don't have your website up to the task of an ICO, that's concerning. Not a great first step.
