Brad Arant fde94acad6 Convert barant.com JET 1.4 marketing pages to jetc/.jtc (local, non-production)
Pulls .page files and shared template infrastructure (mainpagetemplate.temp,
menu.bar, barant.tag, opensource.menu, cart.menu, login.menu) read-only from
barant.com via SFTP into jetc/barant-site/src, then convert.py mechanically
flattens them into self-contained .jet files: linkbutton becomes a plain
anchor link (the old SESSIONCTL PAGE/PROCESS form-postback model has no
equivalent here - each page is its own real #api route now, not a shared
single-form state machine), sectionframe is expanded per its barant.tag
definition, /images/* references are fetched and inlined as data URIs
(APIServer has no static-file serving), and session-gated chrome (cart,
account/admin, login.menu) is resolved to its anonymous-visitor default
state, since no session/DB backend is wired into this conversion.

17 pages convert and serve cleanly end-to-end (verified via a local
apiserver-barant-site.json instance on :8081, kept separate from the
existing demo server on :8080 to avoid a /main route collision with the
earlier hand-cloned barant.jet). Two pages deliberately out of scope for
this pass: davidarant.page (whiledir filesystem iteration) and the
per-topic sub-pages of jet.page (dispatches on an ARGS query param this
conversion does not populate - only the default overview state converts).
vst.page/modular1.page/modular1_patches.page also deferred - they pull
live product rows via sql, a real backend dependency beyond "pages and
their template" scope.

Nothing was written back to barant.com - SFTP access was read-only
throughout, per explicit instruction to convert locally without touching
the original site.

<p>WordPress has become the standard for building a website - but its usual
answer for selling anything is WooCommerce, a heavyweight, plugin-hungry
platform built mainly for shipping boxes. If what you actually sell is
<b>streaming video, digital access, or a mix of physical and digital
products</b>, you're bending a shipping cart into shapes it was never
designed for.</p>
<p><b>BARANT Shopping Cart</b> is a self-contained WordPress plugin built
from the ground up for exactly that mix. It runs today in production on
<a href="https://westcoastwingchun.com" target="_blank">westcoastwingchun.com</a>,
handling pay-per-view and rental video streaming, physical merchandise
with shipping calculation, and rank-gated class content - all through
Square, with no WooCommerce required.</p>

<sectionframe title="Built For Video &amp; Mixed-Product Selling">
<ul>
<li><b>Streaming video access</b> - sell unlimited access, a timed rental
window, or a one-time purchase for any video, with signed, time-limited
playback links so a purchased video can't be shared as a plain URL.</li>
<li><b>Physical goods too</b> - the same cart handles shippable merchandise
alongside digital items, with weight/dimension-based shipping-rate
lookups built in.</li>
<li><b>Rank-gated content</b> - restrict a catalog of videos to logged-in
users whose account has been assigned a specific access tier, useful
for membership or class-based content of any kind, not just video.</li>
<li><b>Square payments</b> - card payments through Square's Web Payments
SDK, with a sandbox/production toggle and a built-in connection test
so you can verify credentials before ever taking a live payment.</li>
<li><b>A real admin section</b> - Dashboard, Inventory, Orders, Settings
and Payment Gateway screens, all inside WordPress's own admin UI. No
database edits required to configure or run the store.</li>
<li><b>Its own data model</b> - cart, inventory, and order data live in
the plugin's own tables, independent of WooCommerce or any other
e-commerce plugin you may already have installed.</li>
</ul>
