Lessons Learned and Best Practices from the Eruv Case Study

  • Clarity and trust signals matter more than flashy visuals for community sites.
  • Interactive maps should default to mobile-optimised views with offline fallback.
  • Admin tools must be simple so non-technical staff can update content quickly.
  • Privacy compliance and accessibility are critical to long-term adoption.
