The description there is clearly in error. Everyone knows that the iamb consists of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable (da DUM):

https://www.masterclass.com/articles/understanding-iambic-meter

https://www.thoughtco.com/iamb-and-iambic-pentameter-2725405

plus The New Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics, just to name a few sources.

The Shakespeare example basically follows the correct pattern, but not all stressed syllables are marked as such.

I have contacted the website to let them know.

Let the creativity flow from your soul! *Cool*
