Case Study: Chattanooga Nextbowl/Fishbowl

Overview:
I was introduced to a website called the Fishbowl, a site dedicated to discount coupons in the Chattanooga area last year after relocating to the area. A great idea, but the design proved to be very difficult to navigate, and hardly had any web presence relevant to its content - and lack of content period - searching Google never got me to the site, and that left me thinking what a waste of a great idea! After getting in contact with the site owner, I told him what I could do to help him, and since then the site has grown by leaps and bounds.

I updated the design to a more aesthetically pleasing, user friendly design, that would better serve the thousands of users of the site. I educated the owner of the advantages of a blog, and a community forum, as well as a photo gallery. I created all three to match the UI, and currently I am the sole blogger for the site, and the admin of the forum.

I also add all coupons to the site, create email campaigns, add listings to the directory, and do all online marketing.
