Wovie
A fast, mobile-ready theme for movie and TV websites built with Dbmovies.
Wovie is a WordPress theme for movie and TV websites built with Dbmovies. Dbmovies imports and manages the catalog: titles, seasons, episodes, people and links. Wovie turns it into a fast, app-like site that visitors can browse on any screen.
Visitors find titles with instant and voice search, filtered archives and home page rows. Every movie, TV show and person gets a full page. Signed-in users get their own account area with a watch list, ratings, title requests and, if you sell memberships, their plan and billing.
Wovie works with the content Dbmovies imports, with no page builder or custom design work. It is dark, responsive and translation-ready, with English and Spanish included.
Wovie does not include, host or stream any video. You add your own video sources and you are responsible for having the rights to publish them.
