The Challenge
Chattanooga has a vibrant events scene, but finding things to do is scattered across dozens of websites, Facebook pages, and neighborhood apps. There was no single, clean resource for locals and visitors.
What We Built
A fast, searchable Next.js site with:
- Curated event listings — manually reviewed so quality stays high
- Category and neighborhood filters — find events near you, in your interest area
- Mobile-first design — optimized for the moment when someone asks "what's going on tonight?"
- Local SEO targeting — built to rank for "things to do in Chattanooga" and related queries
The Stack
- Next.js 14 (App Router, static export)
- Tailwind CSS
- Supabase (event database and submissions)
- Deployed to shared hosting
Results
The catalog serves as both a genuine community resource and a working demonstration of our platform capabilities. We use it to test new techniques before rolling them out to client sites.
Why We Built It Free
We believe in giving back to the city that supports our business. The catalog costs us time, not much money — and it earns us goodwill, real search visibility, and a portfolio piece that shows exactly what we can build.
