A Custom WooCommerce Store Built from a Video Brand

MythoReligio sells five e-books alongside a YouTube documentary series on mythology and religion. After the Shopify phase, the brand wanted a store that looked and felt like the videos, so I rebuilt it as a custom WordPress block theme on WooCommerce and moved the live domain over. Every page in the buying journey is custom, from the shop and product pages through cart, checkout, order confirmation and the customer's download library.

Standalone block theme, no parent theme, built from the MythoReligio design system

Colour, type, spacing and shadow tokens in theme.json, shared with the video graphics

Self-hosted Spectral and Archivo fonts, keyboard focus states and reduced-motion support

Repeat-safe importer that creates the five books as virtual, downloadable WooCommerce products

Purchase guard so a book can't be sold until its real PDF is attached

Cinematic homepage, shop and five product pages with topics, FAQ and companion playlists

Video Library, episode and topic pages, author page and a free-book landing page

Custom Cart, Checkout and Order Confirmation pages built around the native WooCommerce blocks

Shipping fields removed, since every product is digital

My Account styled as a personal library with orders and downloads

Contrast sweep across every section, with all text passing WCAG AA (one pull-quote went from about 1.05:1 to 13.62:1)

Staging review first, then files and database moved to production with every URL rewritten, WooCommerce data included

SSL set up before the DNS switch, so HTTPS worked from the first request

The theme went from foundation to a complete storefront in four days. The store and the videos now share one visual language, and new books or episodes can be added from the WordPress admin without touching code.
