Client: J W Carter Publishing Payments Legal Publishing Web App ### J W Carter Publishing #### Carter on Contract, online - Django, Wagtail, Stripe and SAML - Hosted in Australia, on AWS - Single sign-on for firms, universities and libraries - Launched August 2026 J W Carter Publishing is the independent [legal publisher](https://redcrowdigital.com.au/services/professional-services/) of Emeritus Professor J W Carter's work, including *Carter on Contract* - one of Australia's leading contract law resources, first published more than twenty years ago and cited in decisions of every Australian superior court, including the High Court - and the *Contract and Commercial Law Review* journal. Red Crow Digital designed and built Carter Online, its subscription platform. Challenge ## A looseleaf classic without a home For most of its life, *Carter on Contract* was published by LexisNexis Butterworths as a two-volume looseleaf service; published independently, it needed a home of its own online. Practitioners use it as a working reference - they need to search it, cite it and trust that it's current - and firms, universities and libraries need to give many people access without sharing logins. Solution ## Built around the book - A publishing model built around the book's parts and chapters and the journal's volumes, issues and articles, so the editorial team publishes updates themselves - Fast full-text search across the book and journal, with highlighted results and PDF export of chapter sections - Subscriptions with Stripe payments, auto-renewal and reminders, alongside invoiced and complimentary accounts - Organisation accounts with SAML single sign-on, email-domain rules, user caps and login audit logs, and account holders who manage their own users - Protection for subscriber-only content Results ## Searchable, citable, online - Both titles online, with new chapters and journal content added since launch - One platform for individual practitioners and whole institutions Take a look at Carter Online for yourself at [carteronline.com.au](https://carteronline.com.au).
