# Iterative UX: Find It Cambridge Case Study
Find It Cambridge needed to be an online resource to help families easily find activities, services, and resources in Cambridge.
We came in with the incredibly fortunate situation of tons of research being done by Code for Boston and the City of Cambridge. We will describes some of the highlights from the research before anything was built, through initial user testing with people in a library computer lab (particularly real-world conditions for this site), and to the iterative improvements continuing today. The philosophy throughout has been listen/watch, learn, and loop that back into development. The interesting parts, as so often, lie in the details.
This session will also present frankly what could have been done better, and what could still be done better. A major challenge has been listening to the client too much and the people using the site not enough— a tension accentuated by the fact that the people relying on the site in this case are the citizenry!
## Speaker credentials
<p>An <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjRO2OTt-5o">early version of this talk</a> was given, with the clients in attendance, <a href="https://design4drupal.org/sessions/case-studypanel/iterative-ux-find-it-cambridge-case-study">at Design4Drupal Boston 2018</a>.</p>
