Loja da Cultura

Loja da Cultura is the official online store of Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa, offering a curated selection of books, jewellery, accessories, and exclusive products inspired by the collections of the São Roque Museum. The objective was to create a digital shopping experience that reflected the quality of the institution while providing greater flexibility, usability, and long-term scalability.

The previous platform had become limited by its underlying architecture. Our challenge was to develop a modern solution that respected Santa Casa's institutional identity while delivering a faster, more intuitive, and future-ready e-commerce experience.

Designed for culture. Built for growth.

We completely reimagined the digital shopping experience, redesigning the information architecture, navigation, and visual interface to simplify product discovery and improve the customer journey.

The homepage was transformed into a dynamic content hub, bringing together featured collections, promotions, events, and curated products in a clear and intuitive structure. While remaining aligned with Santa Casa's broader digital ecosystem, the store establishes its own identity through a retail-focused experience.

Built on a modular, decoupled architecture, the platform gives the content team complete editorial autonomy while supporting future growth without structural limitations.

A shopping experience designed to evolve.

The new Loja da Cultura platform combines performance, flexibility, and ease of use to support both customers and internal teams. Visitors can browse collections, discover featured products, and complete purchases through a fast and intuitive experience designed for desktop and mobile.

The platform was developed using a decoupled architecture, combining WordPress and WooCommerce on the backend with Nuxt.js on the frontend to deliver performance, flexibility, and long-term scalability.

Communication between both layers is handled through GraphQL, ensuring efficient data delivery and a responsive user experience. This architecture gives Santa Casa complete editorial control while providing a solid foundation for future growth.
