The Challenge

HAPI needed a modern, public-facing platform that allowed users—primarily researchers and institutional clients—to search, view, and export indexed content. Following the success of the back-end rebuild, the front-end needed to support advanced search functionality, custom reporting tools, and full ADA accessibility compliance to meet UCLA's standards and serve a global academic audience.

The Solution

[iS2 Digital] developed an accessible, responsive front-end system that connected seamlessly with the new back-end infrastructure. The platform featured advanced search tools, custom report generation for both internal review and client delivery, and a clean, intuitive UI. The system was fully ADA-compliant, ensuring access for users with a wide range of needs.

Project Details

  • Developed a responsive front-end with full ADA accessibility.
  • Implemented advanced search features for complex queries across multiple metadata fields.
  • Built custom sharing tools for research community.
  • Enhanced user interface components to support large volumes of academic content.
  • Integrated seamlessly with the rebuilt back-end system.

The Client

The Hispanic American Periodicals Index (HAPI) provides complete bibliographic citations to the contents of scholarly journals published around the world on Latin America and the Caribbean since 1970. Our coverage includes everything from political, economic, and social issues to the arts and humanities. The database is a nonprofit project of the Latin American Institute, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and is available through annual subscription.

North Peak

For staffing firms managing hundreds of job listings, the standard search experience has become a measurable liability. Conventional keyword search, even enhanced with location filters and faceted navigation, requires candidates to know exactly what to search for and returns results that rarely match actual needs. The search experience, long treated as a commodity feature, had become a bottleneck in both candidate acquisition and placement quality.

Los Angeles City Planning New Zoning Code Home Page

LA Department of City Planning

The Los Angeles Department of City Planning's zoning code portal was started on a platform approaching its end-of-life and could no longer provide the support expected of critical government infrastructure. Upgrading was urgent: the city had adopted a new Zoning Code in late 2024, with the Downtown Community Plan Area going into effect in early 2025, and the department needed a platform capable of supporting updated regulations at launch.
