The project

We've worked on this site over the course of several years and continue to maintain and develop it. At its core it is an ecommerce store, for print and ebooks, but the site also provides trial access to books, hosts and distributes podcast content, integrates with a third-party ebook platform and provides activity tracking and reporting for a number of major universities.

The technology

The core site is WordPress, using WooCommerce to provide ecommerce functionality. We use the Roots stack (Trellis/Bedrock/Sage) to provide a proper development environment and deployment pipeline. Over the years we have developed a number of custom plugins to handle the generation and redemption of product codes, distribution of podcast content and integration with a third-party ebook platform. Recently we have developed a plugin which provides custom dashboards for key clients. This was built in React to facilitate an interactive user interface.
