Client
Bene-vit van Clewe is a family business with over 60 years of textile tradition. The shop serves private customers as well as institutional partners such as Jena University Hospital.
Background
Bene-vit van Clewe sells skin-protective functional textiles for allergy sufferers and people with care needs. The shop needed to display several hundred products in a deep category structure – multilingual, with consistent presentation and individual category design that Avada's standard templates couldn't provide.
The specific requirement: WooCommerce category pages shouldn't look like generic shop pages, but like standalone landing pages – each with its own intro, visual language and CTA. Avada doesn't support this out of the box; it required a custom category override.
What we built
- WooCommerce with hundreds of products and deep category structure
- Custom category override: WordPress pages replace Avada category templates for full design freedom
- WPML for multilingual content and products – DE/EN consistently maintained
- Avada theme with extensive individual customisations for the Bene-vit brand identity
- Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel integrated GDPR-compliantly with consent management
- Pagespeed optimisation with WP Rocket, Core Web Vitals in the green
- Technical SEO, ongoing maintenance and support
What makes it special: Custom Category Override
Avada renders WooCommerce category pages using its own template – which is nearly impossible to override. Our solution: we wrote a plugin that maps WordPress pages to WooCommerce categories. When a category is accessed, WordPress renders the assigned page instead of the Avada template – with full access to the page builder, custom blocks and brand elements. The products below still come from WooCommerce.
WooCommerce with custom requirements?
Standard shop templates not enough? We build what marketplace plugins can't – clean, testable, maintainable.
