Experience Marketplace Website Case Study: Designing a Mobile-First Platform for Curated Local Packages
As of:

About the Client

MIB Coupons was conceived as a platform for packaging multiple local experiences—such as dining, nightlife, hospitality and wellness—into curated offers customers could discover and purchase in one place.

The project was less like a conventional brochure website and more like a small experience marketplace. The interface needed to help users browse changing packages, understand what each offer included and move toward purchase without making a multi-business bundle feel complicated.

This became an experience marketplace website case study focused on information architecture, mobile browsing, offer presentation and a content system that could support rotating packages over time.

Project snapshot

  • Project type: Local experience / deals marketplace
  • Primary goal: Make multi-business packages easy to browse and understand
  • Work: Website design, responsive development, package architecture, search foundations and reusable content structure

The project provides first-hand evidence for our web design and web development capabilities, particularly where a website behaves more like a browsable digital product than a brochure.

The Challenge

MIB needed to sell an experience made up of several businesses rather than a single straightforward product or service.

  • Each package had to explain multiple participating venues clearly.
  • Users needed to understand the value of the bundle without reading through dense copy.
  • The platform had to accommodate packages that could change over time.
  • Mobile browsing mattered because the audience could be discovering offers while already planning an outing.
  • Different package types needed enough structure to remain easy to browse as the catalogue expanded.

The design challenge was therefore to make a complex offer feel simple.

The Results

The finished platform created a clearer way to package and present multi-business experiences online.

Project outcome

  • A mobile-first browsing experience for multi-business packages
  • A reusable structure for adding and rotating offers
  • Clearer category and package relationships
  • A purchase-oriented interface designed around quick comparison

The value of the project was creating a digital product that could explain a complicated bundle in a format customers could browse quickly.

The project supports our web design and web development service work.

Solution

Web Design & Development

The interface took inspiration from familiar streaming-style browsing patterns: strong visual cards, clear categories and an emphasis on discovery.

Designing around package discovery

  • Created visually distinct package cards that surface the core offer quickly.
  • Structured each package around participating venues, included experiences and purchase information.
  • Designed category-based browsing for different experience types.
  • Prioritized responsive behaviour for mobile users.
  • Built a reusable structure so new packages could be introduced without redesigning the platform.

The objective was not to imitate a streaming service visually for novelty. It was to borrow a browsing pattern users already understand and apply it to a catalogue of changing local experiences.

Search Engine Optimization

SEO work focused on giving the platform enough structure for different package and category themes to be discoverable without forcing every offer onto one generic page.

  • Created clear category relationships between packages.
  • Used descriptive headings and metadata for different experience types.
  • Established internal links between related offers and categories.
  • Built the site so additional package content could expand without creating a flat, disconnected archive.

The search work was deliberately foundational: organize the platform well first so future package and category growth has a clean structure to build on.

Content & Conversion Strategy

Package content was structured around fast comprehension: what is included, which businesses participate, what the customer receives and why the combined offer is useful.

The content system was also designed for turnover. New packages, seasonal offers and limited-time experiences could be introduced without changing the core page architecture.
