Do you have any experience with React.js?
Yes, Ponticlaro has extensive experience with React.js.
Ponticlaro is active on npm and uses the create-react-app project to start new protoypes and apps. Ponticlaro managed Twyla for over a year, which was originally architected as 12 microservice kubernetes cluster, each of the services used React, Typescript, Webpack, and various other npm libraries to process orders and customize Twyla products, as well as provide admin functionality and autonomous shipping.
Do you have any experience building and deploying container images?
Yes, Ponticlaro has extensive experience since 2015 with both. Currently we use Google Cloud Build on Google Cloud, and develop and run a huge array of local Docker containers. We deploy these using docker-compose as well as common web app stacks: NGINX, JavaScript, Python, PHP, Drupal within a standard Ubuntu container, and have written many Dockerfiles for clients such as Tulane University School of Architecture, Loyola Marymount University, Columbia University, and The Contemporary Austin. We use Docker containers everyday and could not imagine my workflow without them.
Our goal is to offer long-term stability by improving the containerization of software for new architectures such as distributed and on-premise implementations.
Do you have any experience with HIPAA, International Data Privacy and GDPR Compliance?
Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Azure, and on-premise hybrid servers allow for different regions to be specified and connected with various services, so data is never exfiltrated, and can remain within country or regional borders for compliance with local laws. Ponticlaro has experience setting this up properly. Ponticlaro supports and provides the necessary documentation to certify compliance with your compliance needs. We are proactive and have demonstrated our ability to provide this using existing “off-the-shelf” solutions such as CookieBot, but also using automated compliance testing.
Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Azure, and on-premise hybrid servers have security protocols available that allow their services to be certified compliant with industry regulations such as HIPAA and FERPA.
Do you have experience with accessibility standards such as WCAG 2.1 and 508?
Many large-scale web apps require compliance with WCAG 2.1 standards, and Ponticlaro has helped companies like Michael Kors and Tulane University’s School of Architecture improve their accessibility. California has also recently signed into law new privacy requirements of consent for cookie-based tracking services, so many web app owners are not prepared for future domestic compliance.
Do you have experience with PCI Compliance?
More commonly, almost all ecommerce web services and online stores are recommended to be PCI Compliant. Ponticlaro supports and provides the necessary documentation to certify compliance annually with your stated compliance needs.We have provided compliance services for Kendra Scott, By George, RingWraps, and PEEL Gallery.
This included integrations with Authorize.net, Bluepay, Braintree, and Paypal.
Do you have any experience building out email newsletters and designing email campaigns?
Yes! For email newsletters, we start with choosing the platform involved from one of these usually:
Constant Contact, Substack, Mailchimp, Campaign Monitor, Emma
We present design templates based on an initial conversation. Email template sections include repeatable content/article/media sections, and is delivered as static html initially, and then integrated into templates usable within the mailing list platform’s editor.
We run the templates through an online testing tool to verify the template emails display properly in all major clients such as Gmail, Outlook, Fastmail.
