Aurora Hope
E-commerce site with interactive tools and video
A wellbeing and healing business selling sacred oils, sprays, candles, cards and bundles online — an atmospheric site built around full-screen video, with two interactive tools and a real shop underneath.

The project
Aurora Hope wanted a site that felt like the brand: video, movement, a sense of place — not a template with a logo swapped in. Underneath that it had to be a working shop with seven product categories, bundles and product variants, delivery rules and card payment, and it had to sell from a phone.
The client also wanted the site to do something for visitors before they bought anything: a daily card draw from the Animal Magic deck, and a "Find Your Chiron" reading worked out from a date of birth — both editable by the owner without a developer.

Bespoke React front end on a Laravel back end — no page-builder CMS — with a Stripe shop and a custom admin
What we did
Visit Aurora Hope ↗
What Bath IT built
Every page hand-built in React around two full-screen background videos — an aurora, and a phoenix — rather than a page-builder theme.
Seven categories, bundles, product variants, shipping rules and Stripe card payment, with a basket that works on a phone.
Draw a card today (the Animal Magic deck, with meanings), and Find Your Chiron — enter a date of birth, get the sign and its reading.
Products, categories, cards and the per-sign Chiron readings are all managed in a custom admin, with an activity log.
What this demonstrates
Most web design is a choice between looks and function: an atmospheric site that can't take an order, or a capable shop that looks like every other shop. Aurora Hope is both — a visual, video-led brand experience with genuine e-commerce, bespoke interactive tools and an owner-run admin beneath it. If your business needs to feel like something and also sell, this is what that looks like.
Inside the site
The shop, by category
Find Your Chiron — a reading from a date of birth
Draw a card — the Animal Magic deck
A product page with bundle pricing
On a phone
Most visitors to a site like this arrive on a phone, often on mobile data. Every page is designed for that first — readable, tappable, quick — and then scaled up to a desktop, not the other way round.
Why website speed matters →
Technical notes
Custom Laravel + React application: the front end is code, not a block editor, which is what makes the video-led design possible
Background video encoded and trimmed for the web so it doesn't weigh the home page down on a phone — autoplay, muted, no plugins
Shop module with variants, bundles, shipping drivers and Stripe, including the webhooks that confirm payment; sandbox mode locked off in production
The Chiron tool computes the sign from the date of birth and serves the owner-editable reading for it
Card deck, readings and products each have an admin screen; a 404 log and redirects keep old links working
Separate main, staging and production branches with a gated release process
