We had to consider several factors: surfacing data based on user geolocation, dynamic content loading via AJAX, and proper scaling of the CMS for future site growth. This drove us towards Drupal 7 and the use of its Views and Location modules.

Interactivity and responsiveness were our main objectives, and jQuery provided the perfect framework for this with its extensive capabilities in animating and responding to user interactions. Partnered with the Bootstrap framework and utilizing the grid system, the site is responsive at all resolutions.
