About the Project

Customer:

The Cook Political Report is an independent, non-partisan newsletter that analyzes elections and campaigns for the US House of Representatives, US Senate, Governors, and President as well as American political trends. As a critical resource for accurate political forecasting and commentary, the report plays an influential role in shaping public understanding of U.S. politics.

Project overview:

The goal was to build a powerful backend system for the website. They are required to enable the efficient collection, processing, and visualization of complex political data. The goal was to create a user-friendly platform capable of managing vast amounts of data while delivering custom reports and analyses to subscribers. To ensure the best user experience, the new system needed to seamlessly integrate with third-party services, and handle real-time data updates. Also, it was important to support a flexible subscription management system that could cater to different user needs.

Challenge:

The Cook Political Report faced the challenge of upgrading its backend system to efficiently gather, process, and visualize complex political data from multiple sources. In addition, they needed a flexible and scalable subscription management tool. It is supposed to enable personalized access to content based on different user tiers. The platform required seamless integration with third-party APIs for real-time data updates, while also providing complex reporting capabilities. Ensuring a smooth user experience throughout this process was a critical component of the project.

Results:

Results: Architecturally the website was built as a content site, which includes a row of specific modules and tools. Danavero Inc. developed and deployed:

Analytic and reports tools, integration with 3d-side API services to collect data;
Reports as per user needs with complex print layout;
Self-written plan subscriptions with deep customization using an admin interface module connected with a payment service (using PayPal);
Integration of a USA map widget to render data from different sources on the fly;
Complex permissions system to access different site sections for each subscription category module.
