I took at look at the FULL website and my gosh it's such a mess, inconsistent headers, footers, links going in circles, inconsistent dates, graphs and numbers, inconsistent styles, boxes in weird layouts.... Like if Codesmith can't even vibe code their own website properly this

Here is a list of the problems to show that i'm not being sarcastic. You could feed this into AI and fix all of these in an hour.
This doesn't include CSX.
1. Footers inconsistent across site, one says 2025, one says 2026
2. Alignment in 2026 footer is not centered properly
3. Header, hover on the final item in each list has no radius and bleeds onto the page
4. Home -> Join Us -> Train Your Team -> Enterprise -> Enquire -> hello@codesmith email. Felt like I was going in circles.
5. Programs say "more dates available" but the other dates are the exact same ones in the header I clicked from
6. The dates make no sense and Jun 1 should be July 1
7. Median Salary & Employment Rate overflows in one box, inconsistent
8. It looks like their loan providers is gone but now the payment options have a gap missing a block that looks weird
9. The Terms and Privacy policy are dated 2018 but the content file is labeled 2022, which is still 4 years out of date. This is like 5 problems and is legally problematic.
10. Graduate impact & outcomes is like overflowing into a column when it looks meant to be two column
11. Links to subreddit Codesmith claimed is independent and not affiliated, the subreddit isn't maintained either
12. Super inconsistent styling of the Federal page makes it look sketchy and unofficial. These were done by different Upwork contractors?
13. Forms are all over the place: on site, Hubspot, Airtable, reduces credibility.
14. Numerous email blocked PDF resources have the PDF in the HTML so it's not really an email block.
15. Email blocks don't disclose permission to contact for marketing purposes, a legal requirement.
16. Our vision has misaligned section
17. A decade of Codesmith overflows and is partially unreadable
18. All priori collaborators are from 2022 and earlier, many from 7+ years ago.
19. Many team members don't work there anymore, can be misleading if you knowingly keep them up for appearances while removing some and not others - intent to misled
20. Regulatory information is out of date and doesn't have the latest links legally required.
21. Curriculum doc almost all of the staff are no longer at Codesmith for 1+ year.
22. Sitemap contains a number of Alumni events not visible on the website.
23. Events & workshops pills overflow
24. Some blogs have code blocks rendered as text that look amateurish
25. Pricing block on AI course is vertical instead of horizontal
26. AI FAQs are not centered.
