Searching for overkill

St. X recently redesigned their website. On the whole, it looks pretty good. It’s design is both professional and refined.

However, I have a few gripes I would like to share with you:

It’s painfully obvious that whoever redesigned the site didn’t do it by hand. Viewing the source code of any of the pages, you’ll see a horrendous mess – regardless of whether you understand HTML, JavaScript, or (gasp!) C#. (They apparently used Microsoft Visual Studio 7.0 to create the site!)
This brings me to the next point: the code for the little Site Search box on almost every page of the site contains an unthinkable idea. You see, each time you click search, you’re actually sending a full-fledged C# program to the server. I can’t think of a better case of overkill.
What’s worse, the search result pages haven’t been updated from the old design. The problem is that the redesign actually screwed the search result pages up. You can see what I mean. If there’s one thing you don’t want to do in a redesign, it’s that you don’t want to leave some minor pages for ruin. Others will notice. I speak from experience: compare this page with the main page.

I’m posting this e-mail here because the last time the site was redesigned, I e-mailed the webmaster, and never received a response.
