This arti­cle popped up in my RSS feed yes­ter­day and it was too much. Something welled up inside me to fight the evil design in the world in what lit­tle way that I could. I gave myself 24 hours to code a new land­ing page from scratch. (I had to give myself a good buffer because I knew noth­ing was get­ting done last night while I watched the foot­ball game. War Damn Eagle!) Along the way, I cleaned up the infor­ma­tion archi­tec­ture and rewrote some copy.

There’s way more that could be done, but I want­ed to give myself a hard dead­line. By putting myself on the clock, I did­n’t futz around. Nor am I hold­ing on to it because it’s not per­fect. It’s just an unso­licit­ed redesign of a land­ing page — noth­ing more, noth­ing less.

The cur­rent site lives at warioworld.com while you can see my redesign live on my new play­ground space.
