Details

We want to make sure our website is as rock solid as possible security-wise to protect our customers and save our time too!


We've had a couple of instances of card testing on our website.


Although I have a technical background, security is not something I'm overly interested in, so I'd love to support you in helping us out.

Deliverables
  1. Evaluate current security features.
  2. Research best security options for the website.
  3. Provide recommendations on which security options would be best for the website.
  4. Implement selected security options (if we have time)
Mentorship

We are a very flexible work environment, especially with the tech aspects of our business! Our founder has worked as a software developer and completed two related degrees (BSc in Software Engineering and MSc in Biomedical Engineering with a focus on UX). She also teaches courses in software development/computer science programs including UX, databases, capstone projects, and more. With this experience, she has a wealth of information to share!


We have staging environments available for YYC Beeswax for the redesign and tools available to develop The Abelo Collection. We are open to creating a project schedule that works with your method of working. If you like daily standups, we're there! If you prefer weekly checkins, that's great too! Text - fantastic! Voice - fantastic! Video - fantastic! We're open to communicating in different ways including email, Discord, etc. As a small team, we're very flexible.


We'll start the project with an overview of where we're at and what needs done. From there, we can decide together how to proceed based on your comfort and experience with the tools and technologies and which project to tackle first. Together, we'll make a plan for your block of hours. You will have access to Lisa, who will be your point of contact for the project.

YYC Beeswax is a Calgary-based company offering a range of ready-made small batch beeswax products and educational opportunities.
We exist to (re)connect people with their creativity and the beauty of nature. Growing up in rural Alberta, our founder was fortunate to live close to nature and observe the beauty of the Alberta prairies. As YYC Beeswax grows and evolves, we are getting closer and closer to balancing the availability of art in the city and the rural beauty of nature. Every product we make and each time we educate, we aim to merge these two.
YYC Beeswax offers a variety of products with one rule – every product must contain something harvested from a beehive or themed accordingly. From candles to our extremely popular lip balm and food wraps to DIY supplies, you can tell we have fun creating. In addition to offering products, we also run workshops in which we make candles and teach our participants a bit about bees.
