General Tweaks• Custom CSS to control position of elements on pages
• URL structures
• Interactive Google maps

Challenges & Observations• Plugins can be challenging
o Few offer EXACTLY what we are looking for
• More advanced mashups require API keys & tokens
• Some premium plugins look promising and probably worth further investigation (though, for this project we did not have a budget from Patterson park thus we refrained)
• Next phase: Testing to get real feedback o Do not have the scale to test now
