Channel Fireball redesigned with speed in mind

Channel Fireball, a content site, had an urgent business need to migrate from Wordpress to Drupal due to ongoing site crashes and outages draining the performance of the site. This needed to be solved very quickly. I used the baseline styles of the sister content site called infinite.tcgplayer.com and manipulated it to create an experience that our user base would favor with content hierarchy and accessibility as a core focus. As a result, the redesign did not overwhelm the front end design and engineering team to complete the project on time.

The previous website and the new version are shown below. See the full site at https://www.channelfireball.com.
