Refine and improve a Django Micro-Job website & fixing the messaging page and also the job apply page.

Django Micro-Job Platform - Final Polish & Messaging System
Tech Stack: Django 6.0.1, Python 3.11, SQLite, Tailwind CSS (CDN), deployed on PythonAnywhere
GitHub Repository: https://github.com/AKashif7/IconJobs-Final
What I Need:

Fix messaging system (messaging app) - real-time chat between job seekers and companies, proper message threading, read/unread status, notification badges
Debug job application submission (applications app) - ensure "Apply Now" flow works end-to-end, applicants see confirmation, companies receive applications in dashboard
Final UI/UX polish - ensure all 18 templates are responsive, fix any broken links/buttons, consistent styling with brand colors (midnight blue #0B1F3B, amber #E8A020)
PythonAnywhere deployment verification - confirm WSGI config is correct, static files serve properly, all functionality works in production (username: abdrrr1)

Deliverable: Fully functional messaging + applications, bug-free deployment, ready for university submission (deadline-sensitive FYP project)
