My agency is intentionally personal. You are not passed from sales to support to a junior developer. You work directly with me, Fred McLees, a lifelong systems technologist with decades of experience solving complex technical problems and more than 15 years working hands-on with PrestaShop.
I focus on the complete PrestaShop business: visitor experience, performance, checkout, shipping, SEO, localization, security, upgrades, custom modules, staging, and long-term technical guidance.
My professional history began in IBM enterprise systems, including TPF and IBM 360/370 assembler, where reliability, precision, performance, and testing were mandatory.
That background shaped how I approach ecommerce today. I do not look at one isolated symptom. I look at the complete system: the visitor flow, the data, the hosting, the modules, the checkout, the edge cases, and the business risk.
A slow page, broken checkout, hacked shop, bad Google Merchant result, shipping confusion, or unstable module is rarely just one issue. It is usually a system telling us where it needs attention.
After my enterprise systems career, life changed. I became a stay-at-home dad, and later a grandfather. That chapter gave me patience, perspective, and a practical understanding that people need solutions they can trust.
I started working with PrestaShop early, around the PrestaShop 1.4 era, and have spent more than 15 years repairing, upgrading, migrating, securing, optimizing, and improving real ecommerce stores.
I personally provide full-spectrum PrestaShop services to support all major facets of your PrestaShop business, with a strong focus on improving the visitor shopping experience.
The goal is simple: make the shop easier to use, faster to understand, safer to operate, and more comfortable for customers to buy from.
Navigation, product discovery, product-list shopping, recently viewed products, and return-to-product behavior that help customers keep moving.
Checkout clarity, shipping expectations, country context, payment flow, trust signals, and practical reassurance before the customer hesitates.
Above-the-fold performance, responsive storefront behavior, focused module decisions, and visitor-first improvements that make the shop feel better.
Many of the features I build come from demanding client work where a shop had a specific problem, missed opportunity, or visitor-experience gap that standard PrestaShop tools did not solve well enough.
When a feature proves itself — when it reduces friction, improves confidence, supports sales, or makes the shop easier to manage — it becomes part of the practical toolkit I bring to the next project.
Safe planning, staging, testing, upgrade paths, migration strategy, and practical risk reduction before touching the live shop.
In-house features built for real business needs when standard PrestaShop tools are not enough.
Hosting-level review, front-office bottlenecks, JavaScript/CSS delivery, and faster perceived visitor experience.
Hardening, bot blocking, hacked-shop review, suspicious traffic analysis, and practical protection strategies.
Country-aware pricing, structured data review, feed troubleshooting, language/country URL logic, and search visibility support.
Practical fixes for the parts of the shop that directly affect customer confidence and completed orders.
HIAI means Human Intelligence + AI Intelligence.
AI helps me move faster with research, diagnostics, code review, module development, log analysis, testing, and content creation.
But experience leads the work. Human intelligence decides what is safe, practical, maintainable, and right for a live ecommerce business.
I prefer clear, affordable flat-rate project pricing because clients deserve to know what work is being done, why it matters, and what it will cost before it begins.
Projects are planned and tracked clearly, often through Monday.com, so priorities, access, feedback, scope, and progress stay organized.
My focus is simple: improve the shop, support the business, and deliver work that makes sense.
