Website
We designed and built a clean, accessible website aligned with TAHIT's brand and mission. The site was built for ease of maintenance — TAHIT's team can update content without needing a developer.
Microsoft 365 setup
Starting from a blank slate, we configured a complete Microsoft 365 tenant for TAHIT:
- User accounts — Created and licensed email accounts for all staff
- Shared and group mailboxes — Set up shared inboxes for public-facing roles (info@, contact@, etc.)
- Custom domain — Verified the organization's domain and configured MX/SPF/DKIM records
- Security defaults — Enabled Microsoft Security Defaults and configured multi-factor authentication
Azure deployment
The website was deployed to Azure Web Apps with a full production configuration:
- Continuous deployment from GitHub via deployment slots
- Custom domain with SSL certificate provisioned through Azure
- Environment variables managed via Azure App Settings
- Monitoring configured through Azure Application Insights
