Scope of Work

Design & Formulation

They wanted to convert their basic website with a Paypal Checkout button to an extensive site that had true shopping cart capabilities, with a custom cms and parameters they set to make their target customers happy. We went to the drawing board, and started designing their database, backend code, and frontend to help them reach their full potential but also while trying to be as cost effective as possible.

Implementation

Build, Test, & Deploy

After the design was complete matching the full requirements given, we built out the new platform. We used a full stack framework for easy maintenance and development to keep costs low. The customer was adamant about low cost so we used off-the-shelf solutions with 3rd party libraries to minimize monthly 3rd party software costs. After setting up staging environments, we launched full blown user acceptance testing in addition to code tests we had already written. After testing was complete their was a beta launch, then final deployment to the production site.

Goal Completion & Results.

So this particular business had already hired another developer in the past that built out the existing static site with the basic checkout button. They could never figure out more complex solutions and for this reason, they sought out Chalkstart to help them build an actual database driven platform.

The Code & Regulation Compliance

Shipping the final code is one thing, but with this business they required sensitive information to be HIPPA Compliant with reviews and documentation as necessary. Security is one of our most important items we address before any app gets launched. We insured the database, backend, and frontend code were in compliance with the most stringent set of tests.

Custom User Login LMS & Admin Portal

We delivered three apps to this business, a database driven site, a custom user login/learning management system, and an admin portal to review reports and pertinent customer information as necessary to meet the needs of the business.

I.T. Maintenance & Security Audits

Having frequent cyber security audits is a must for meeting federal compliance and procedures. These audits ensure your code and platform is explained in clear reports to know of vulnerabilities and other issues that may arise. Having I.T. maintenance performed to update servers, systems, and code bases is a “must” since most vulnerabilities are from software security patches that have not been released where some companies never update their systems.
