The Golfsmith blog was an effort to bring Golfsmith to the content marketing forefront and to direct social traffic towards the website. First of all, I researched and created wireframes of the best option for the blog layout and content organization. In addition, I set up the blog, installed the appropriate plugins, and developed the WordPress template. To complete the project on a rushed timeline, I trained a contractor and coordinated with him on wrapping final stages.<\/p>\n

\nNOTE ON LIVE EXAMPLES:<\/strong> As of 11\/4\/16, Golfsmith is no longer conducting business and all associated websites are offline.<\/em> However, you can check out the Golf Town blog<\/a>, which I used this template to build.<\/p>\n

Result<\/h2>\n

Within a year of launch, the blog ranked #1 on Golf Assessor’s Top 50 Best Golf Blogs<\/a>. Furthermore, the blog was awarded #6 in Feedspot’s Top 100 Golf Blogs on the Web<\/a>.<\/p>\n
