A new arcade and bar opening in historic downtown Wendell, North Carolina, built around three things: classic arcade games, a full bar, and a venue large enough for groups and celebrations. The site has to do two jobs at once — pre-launch hype with a working “Get Opening Updates” path, and the operational scaffolding (drink menu, groups, hiring) that takes over the day the doors open.
Designed and coded end-to-end. The page leans into a dark register with a single accent color, an upfront opening date, and clean separation of the three core offerings. The structure is built to evolve from announcement site to operational site without a redesign — most of the navigation is already in place, just waiting on its content.
