Trestle Ties is an online journal of poetry and art.
It was co-founded in 2018 by Aaron and Juleen Johnson. Its mission is to create a bridge to publication and access to readers for emerging writers.
The Trestle Ties Web App was created using the Flask framework. It is a series of static pages, with some small amount of templating for common elements such as navigation, bios and mission statement. Extensive front-end work was done using Bootstrap 4 with a focus on accurate, responsive reproduction of poetic forms (line length, enjambment, etc).

In the summer of 2019, the site was refactored from being hosted on a Linux VM with a local mySQL database to use of Google Cloud Platform services.
