I just finished working on this project! 🚀

NursingLedger combines four major CMS data sources into detailed profiles for every covered facility. Visitors can search by facility name, city, state, or ZIP code; compare homes side by side; explore ownership relationships; review federal penalties; examine payroll-reported staffing; and browse records across every state.

Some highlights from the build:

→ 14,693 certified nursing facilities published as searchable profiles → 16,166 federal penalty records organized and connected to the correct facilities → 247,632 reported ownership records transformed into understandable relationships → Payroll-reported staffing data covering 14,478 facilities → 14,880 discoverable pages submitted through a production-ready XML sitemap → Search, state directories, ownership groups, watchlists, and facility comparison tools → Fully responsive layouts across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices → Structured metadata, canonical URLs, schema markup, social previews, robots rules, and scalable programmatic SEO → A static edge architecture designed to keep thousands of data-rich pages fast, reliable, and inexpensive to serve

One of the most interesting parts was preserving the meaning of the source data. Missing values remain missing, calculated figures are clearly separated from imported CMS fields, and rankings are never presented as conclusions the underlying records cannot support.

This project brought together data engineering, product design, frontend development, technical SEO, accessibility, responsive testing, and production infrastructure. The best part is that all of that complexity stays behind the scenes. For the visitor, it feels like a clean website that answers an important question:

“What does the public record actually say about this nursing home?”

Really proud of how this one came together, especially the balance between serious public data and an experience that still feels approachable and easy to navigate.

Looking forward to building more ambitious, data-driven platforms for clients here on Contra! 🤝

Cheers, and thanks for reading!

Havenora — Senior Home Care Landing Page. Warm, thoughtful, and reassuring. I wanted this one to feel less like a typical healthcare website and more like a welcoming space for families looking for the right care for someone they love.
