The website of notorious punk label Fat Wreck Chords has been redesigned by the guys at Liberation Media. In addition to a slick new look, it features a CMS and online ordering system built using everyone’s favorite framework, Ruby on Rails.
I love the look of this site; the high-contrast typography and the gratuitous use of the color pink is brilliant. The fact that it’s powered by Rails is even better.
Liberation Media’s David Holtz and I go way back to the 2nd installment of the ‘Building of Basecamp’ workshop in Chicago (circa September 2004) where we connected over our shared affinity for cigarettes. After the workshop, David requested the leftovers from the provided lunch and took them home.
