Find It Cambridge starts from 1,250 parent survey responses and 220 provider interviews, builds a structured-data site via a Jekyll-powered living wireframe and then ports refined HTML/CSS into a Drupal backend with Contentful/GatherContent experiments, Google Forms for ingestion, and trash/killfile recovery for deleted nodes. Iterations fix automatic-translation failures, remove a curated collections feature when maintainability fails, adjust neighborhood mapping and search (IE11 in library lab tests surfaces bugs), and hack results (water parks) to improve relevance.
