eCommerce Growth / Upgrades & modernisation
Move forward.
Build a better shop.
Bring your technology and buying experience up to date. I plan the upgrade, build on staging and help you turn the move into improvements your customers can see and use.
Start with your shop URL. I’ll confirm the technical details with you.

Plan your upgrade.
Your shop URL is enough to get started. I’ll take a look and reply personally.
Give the upgrade a commercial purpose
Keep what makes your shop work.
Improve what helps it grow.
Your shop has history.
It belongs in the plan.
Products, customer records, order history, pricing rules and custom workflows are considered from the start, so the upgrade reflects how your business operates.
A better foundation.
A better place to buy.
The agreed scope can improve navigation, product presentation, mobile shopping, loading behaviour and checkout alongside the technical upgrade.
Review the result.
Know the next step.
You see the working shop before launch, with compatibility decisions, outstanding checks and the move into production explained clearly.
Plan around the shop you actually run
Understand the dependencies.
Choose the right route.
Real shops evolve. Themes are customised, modules add business rules and integrations connect orders with the rest of the operation. I review those dependencies before agreeing the work.
For a PrestaShop version upgrade, that means assessing the target version, PHP environment, theme, modules and custom code together. You know what can be retained, what needs updating and what needs a replacement or specific integration work.
I also identify improvements that make the project commercially useful. A refreshed theme, clearer categories or a stronger checkout can be included where they fit your priorities and budget. The scope makes those choices explicit.
The project review
The details that keep
the business moving.
- Theme, modules, custom code and server requirements
- Products, combinations, pricing and stock behaviour
- Customers, order history and operational workflows
- Payments, shipping rules and external integrations
- Important URLs, redirects and search visibility
- Order messages, transactional emails and tracking
Your live shop keeps operating during the build
A working preview.
With your own products.
I prepare the upgrade on a separate staging copy. You can explore the catalogue, review the new experience and raise questions while your existing shop continues serving customers.
Before launch, I check the agreed customer and order journeys: product options, cart changes, delivery choices, payments and the messages that follow an order. Desktop and mobile are both part of the review.
A planned move into production
The launch has a plan.
The details have an owner.
01 / Prepare
Agree when and how.
I plan backups, the recovery approach, final data synchronisation and any required maintenance window. You know what to expect before the switch.
02 / Launch
Bring the reviewed shop live.
After your review and the agreed checks, I complete the final updates and move the prepared shop into production.
03 / Verify
Check the live experience.
I verify the key pages, redirects, buying journey and order flow in the live environment, with post-launch checks included in the project scope.
Clear scope / Flat-rate quote / Easy terms
Know the work. Know the price. Stay involved.
I review the shop before quoting, so the price reflects its theme, modules, custom behaviour and agreed improvements. You work directly with me, with decisions and progress visible in Monday.com.
A retainer gets the agreed work underway. Remaining invoices are payable after that work is live in production and you are completely satisfied. Payment arrangements are agreed before starting.

Send me your shop URL. I’ll take an initial look, confirm the technical details with you and help define the right upgrade path.
