Compared certified.app's pure-grayscale editorial landing against Bluesky's blue-forward marketing site, introduced a Certified-blue brand accent, and shipped a six-section redesign of /welcome (hero, bento, how-it-works, partners, closing CTA, footer). Build + lint clean. A few pages outside the welcome flow still use the older navy palette and are flagged as follow-up.
v2 of the certified.app /welcome redesign after the user rejected v1's Bluesky-blue palette as too loud. Pivoted to a warm parchment + sienna system aligned with MaEarth (a partner app and existing Certified consumer). Stripped gradients, the brand-fill highlight card, the colored connector line, and the bold blue closing CTA. Build + lint clean; previously-flagged FAQ focus-ring overlap fixed in the same pass.
