Book Donation Website Development

I’m setting up an online hub that lets people pass on their old books to readers who need them. The flow is simple: donors register, tell us what they’re sending, ship the books to our address, and—once a matching request appears—I mail the books out to the requester.

What I need you to build:

• Secure user registration and login so both donors and readers have their own accounts.
• A clean, multi-step donation wizard where donors pick a category, enter the title/author, note the book’s condition, upload an optional photo, and confirm shipping details.
• A request form that is visible only to logged-in users, allowing them to ask for specific titles or browse what’s available.
• An admin dashboard where I can review new donations, approve or decline them, match incoming requests, and flag an order as shipped.
• Automated email notices at key steps—account creation, donation approved, request matched, and dispatch confirmation.
• Mobile-friendly UI, clear error handling, and basic search/filter by category so users can quickly find what they need.

A built-in request tracking system might come later, so please structure the code so that feature can slot in without a full rewrite.

Hand-off should include the full source code, a short deployment guide, and any design assets used. Let me know what tech stack you propose and any libraries or frameworks you feel will speed things up without locking us into something inflexible.
