Development services for Avaaz

Solutions

Specialists from QArea had to deliver a stable, solid and secure platform that would resist huge loads. We had to ensure flawless globalization to allow the resource being available and flawlessly usable by citizens of different countries that speak different languages and do not share nationality. We had to ensure comfortable ways of communication, feedback and donation processes.

Huge loads

Avaaz was destined to become a stable platform for millions of people. It had to be used on a daily basis by people from all over the globe and at the same time. When a crisis hits, there is no time to fix errors. Important decisions, and upcoming changes may be in danger as they depend on the constantly stable performance of the service.

We have gained enormous performance growth by pre-generating multiple pages as well as some statistics. This helped in establishing a stable platform fit to withstand colossal amounts of users and visitors.

Globalization

Considering that Avaaz involves numerous people from different countries we had to ensure flawless support of many languages. We have designed, coded and tested this website in a way that has ensured easy and impeccable customization of the platform, hence all necessary localization was implemented. Special attention was given to functional testing to make sure all vital aspects are 100% verified.

Ease in use

We have used the entire stack of all available best-performing web technologies to ensure the platform is stable, secure and user-friendly. We chose to use pure PHP, powered with numerous open-source libraries over frameworks, as this is a project, which requires a special, custom touch.

In order to achieve great results all processes required appropriate management. An email list that is fully operational in multiple languages was developed to ensure flawless communication. A subscription to alerts functionality was designed and implemented to ensure people can easily act out as soon as any meaningful event takes place in the world. We have also implemented a system that enables donations. PayPal system was chosen as a perfect solution for this task.

Security

Considering all the given factors we have paid major attention to all possible data breaches as well. We have used AJAX as the main technology and have paid extra attention to solve many potential security flaws, such as:

• Internal application data may be exposed
• Client and server-side do not have a clear line in-between
• Third-party resource access to the client, and more.

We made sure all input fields are secure, knowing the potential threats of malicious scripts, thus ensuring better security of the website.
