Designing a scalable information architecture for multiple categories of local services, managing dynamic MongoDB data, implementing a bilingual interface, integrating external news through RSS, and maintaining a responsive user experience across a large number of directory pages were key challenges. Another focus was keeping the interface simple enough for users to quickly find essential local information.
