## Challenge

The coalition needed more than a public website. It needed an adult-only, trust-forward platform that could explain membership, route visitors to verified providers, and present cannabis-related information responsibly.

## Approach

DDN shaped the platform around age verification, searchable directory paths, member education, trust and security pages, accessibility controls, and clear navigation for patients, providers, certifiers, and coalition members.

## Outcome

The result is a web app platform with a verified directory experience, member positioning, strain and certifier paths, and a compliance-minded content structure.

## Overview

Maine Cannabis Coalition — Verified Cannabis Directory Platform

Design Develop Now designed and developed MaineCannabisCoalition.com as a web app and community platform for Maine's medical cannabis ecosystem. The platform helps adults and patients discover verified caregivers, storefronts, dispensaries, certifiers, manufacturers, delivery services, strains, and local resources through a structured directory experience.

The project goes beyond a brochure website. It includes an age-gated public experience, searchable directory paths, member-focused content, trust and verification messaging, accessibility tools, and clear navigation across directory, certifier, strain library, coalition, legal, and membership areas.

The visual system balances compliance-minded clarity with a local community feel. The experience prioritizes quick orientation, verified provider trust signals, and practical paths for members and visitors to understand how the coalition works.
