Mentha Works: an online store for the monk echo pedal
Mentha Works, a music technology studio in Riga, needed one place to tell the story of its monk echo pedal, sell it and support the people who play it. We handled the website development on WordPress and WooCommerce with a custom Sage theme. The store takes pre-orders with their own shipping method, and the team edits the full user manual as blocks in the admin.
Product pages built from blocks
Each product page is a stack of the theme’s blocks: a product hero with the gallery, price and a VAT note for EU, US and other buyers, then video, story, merchandise and FAQ. New products start from this layout as a ready-made pattern, so the team only fills in each product’s blocks.
Key facts
- Custom WooCommerce store on WordPress, with a Sage and Acorn theme built with Vite and Tailwind CSS
- Every page, the shop and product pages included, built from 27 custom Gutenberg blocks
- Pre-orders: a switch on each product changes its button, selects pre-order shipping at checkout and shows the team’s notice
- Prices in euros and dollars, with VAT and shipping notes for EU, US and other buyers
- Add to cart without a page reload, a checkout that asks only for an email and a shipping address, and restock sign-ups sent to MailerLite
- SEO with Yoast: titles, descriptions and schema markup on every page
