Project: Jonathan Dragon Books

Visit the website: jonathandragon.com

Jonathan Dragon is a small, women-operated mail-order bookstore in Wilmington, Delaware that caters primarily to teachers who are purchasing books using federal Reading is Fundamental (RIF) grants. Because of the requirement that customers be able to make purchases either using standard methods or RIF grants, an off-the-shelf e-commerce system was not an option for them.

To build their site, I customized the Substruct e-commerce engine written in Ruby on Rails to suit their precise needs. They can now manage their entire catalogue (including uploading multiple cover and inside images) and track purchases by way of their administrative website.
