Children Now Scorecard
Children Now Scorecard
Children Now publishes a “Scorecard” every year that displays (and hosts PDFs) of child wellness metrics for every California county.
However, their website needed to be manually updated, and the PDFs manually created one by one. Updating the site took days.
2021
Aardonyx took the existing application and updated and refactored the code to use more modern software tools.
We also created a data structure and added a database to prepare for more dynamic interactions with data.
We changed the UI to allow for the handling of dynamically added years and metrics.
Aardonyx built a dashboard that allows Children Now to upload their new data via CSV files. We parse the uploaded CSV files and dynamically update the database and all the displays on the website.
The PDFs are created/updated automatically on the CSV upload, and immediately ready for download.
What once took Children Now days to do now takes a fraction of the time.
