The overall UI for the entire OWASP site looks and feels inconsistent, which can cause new visitors to quickly lose their trust in OWASP itself, which doesn't give a good impression, especially for an organisation that focuses on cybersecurity.
I'm aware that OWASP use a customised theme for the site, but I believe that they can benefit from having their website redesigned from the ground up, so that it looks more consistent, trustworthy, and professional, not just for newcomers, but also for returning visitors and paying members.
Further, isn't one of OWASP's Top 10 items Insecure Design?
Not only does that relate to how cybersecurity solutions themselves are designed (so that they can be secure), but also how those solutions (specifically user interfaces on an app, websites, etc) look visually, since in this case, you pretty much have to judge a book by its cover to determine whether it is secure and trustworthy by design (both in terms of security and aesthetics), since poorly designed websites and badly formatted emails can be viewed as a cybersecurity threat, and in most cases, that's how they're often perceived.
