Challenges

Problem: We built a back-end for our site but were not able to connect our server to our domain correctly.
Solution: We temporarily solved this by using Google Fusion Tables and javascript but this has left our project less responsive and currently it does not work on mobile.
Problem: Does not work on mobile.
Solution: We modified the iframe parameters to be mobile friendly.
Problem: Multiple entries were found for individual restaurants with different inspection outcomes.
Solution: We cleaned up the data to exclude all but the most recent inspection.
Problem: The process of updating the data due to many passes at cleaning the data up was clunky and inefficient.
Solution: The Fusion Table is synced to a Google Sheet, allowing for easier updating of the data.
