Cheap Thrills Trinidad

Good-value food and things to do should be easy to find and check. Flat18 built a source-linked directory for Trinidad that brings prices, places, dates and supporting evidence into one clear browsing experience.

Supporting links and check dates help people judge a find.

Development journey

From scattered offers to a useful local plan.

We designed the product around three questions: what is available, what supports the details, and where can I go? Chaguanas and Central Trinidad provided the starting focus for a directory that covers the island.

01 / Discovery

Make local finds easier to compare.

Food offers and event details are spread across posts, menus and venue pages. We brought them into one directory, with search, food and activity filters, and card or list views.

02 / Confidence

Keep the evidence beside the offer.

A price alone does not tell someone whether a deal suits their plans. Find pages bring together prices in Trinidad and Tobago dollars, places, dates, conditions, source links and check dates. Dietary notes explain what is known and what still needs checking.

03 / Planning

Show locations without guessing.

The map groups finds that share a place and lets people filter food and events. Only checked locations receive a pin. Finds without a checked location stay available in the directory.

A directory that can be corrected

People can propose a find through the contribution guide or report an issue when a detail needs attention. Offers can change, so the app keeps the original evidence visible and encourages checking before a visit.

LiveLocal discoveryResponsive web app

Clear discovery needs a careful publishing process.

We built both the public browsing experience and the content structure behind it. Each find has a consistent record for price, place, validity and sources.

Product design

A distinct local identity, responsive layouts, search, filters, card and list views, share controls and map exploration.

Content checks

Structured records and validation rules help keep published details consistent. Source links and check dates make the evidence inspectable.

Discovery workflow

Scheduled discovery looks for food deals and experiences. Candidate records pass through content and freshness checks before publication.

Delivered value

A working route from browsing a local find to checking its details, locating the venue and opening the original source.

Prices, dates and availability can change. Screenshots show the app at the time of capture; they are examples of the product rather than current offer recommendations.
