The ultimate directory for finding the right resources for addictions and mental health

Find Recovery Now - Screenshot A
FindRecoveryNow was created in early 2021 as a response to the unprecedented increase in substance abuse, mental illness, and deaths resulting from the pandemic. It began as a simple wordpress website. But as the project grew, a better website was needed. The founder reached out to Fluxbucket in 2023 to help him bring his latest vision to life.

Our lead designer took the reigns at conducting user interviews and designing a directory website in Figma that was truly built for the user. I was the lead engineer on the project, and began taking those designs and turning them into reality.

In addition to the public facing website, the founder was looking for an ad server for advertisers to see performance and manage their spending. After building the directory website, we further interviewed advertisers and designed and built an ad server that best fit their needs.
