Store development
Product and category templates, navigation and a responsive storefront matched to the agreed catalogue and purchasing journey.
WooCommerce & PrestaShop development
Online stores built around how you sell, how customers buy and how you manage orders after checkout.
Is this the right help for you?
For businesses launching a store or improving an existing WooCommerce or PrestaShop setup. The starting point is the catalogue and sales process, not a list of plugins. A checkout repair or integration can be a separate project; it does not automatically require rebuilding the shop.
Checkout improvements
Investigate failed orders, confusing steps and validation problems. Review the complete route from basket to confirmation.
Payments and shipping
Connect the agreed providers and check their configuration, order statuses and available test flows. Provider accounts and fees remain separate.
Product catalogue
Plan categories, variations and product information so customers can find products and staff can maintain the catalogue.
Store migrations
Map products, customer and order data, old URLs and cutover requirements before moving. Plan how to handle orders arriving during the transition.
Performance and integrations
Investigate slow pages or connect inventory and business systems where their interfaces support the required workflow.
Move your online store with a plan for products, orders and customers
Moving WooCommerce or PrestaShop to another host, or changing platforms? I first check what can be transferred: products, variants, customer accounts, order history, images and the extensions your store relies on. We identify anything that cannot move directly before committing to the migration.
A test copy lets us review the new setup before the switch. We plan how to handle orders placed during the move, payment and shipping settings, old product URLs and transactional email. Where necessary, a maintenance window or temporary pause in ordering is agreed in advance rather than promising zero downtime.
After the switch, I check the agreed buying journey and data. Licences, payment-provider accounts, subscriptions and third-party integrations may need separate action. Hosting renewal costs and extension fees are reviewed alongside the migration price, so a lower headline hosting price does not hide extra work.

How the work moves forward
Understand the store
Review products, sales markets, current platform and the problems that affect orders.
Plan the changes
Agree what needs building or moving, how we will test it and which provider or extension costs to allow for.
Implement on a preview
Build or adjust the agreed parts without treating the live checkout as a testing area.
Verify the buying journey
Check representative products, payments, shipping, order statuses and confirmation emails before the agreed launch.
Before we begin
Scope, practical limits and the information needed for a useful estimate.
Should I choose WooCommerce or PrestaShop?+
The decision depends on your current setup, catalogue, integrations and how the team manages the store. Product count alone is not a reliable rule. We review those requirements before recommending a platform or migration.
Can you fix checkout without replacing the shop?+
Yes. Share the failing step, affected payment or shipping method and any error message. The issue may sit in a plugin, custom code or provider configuration; diagnosis comes before the repair scope.
What affects the cost of an ecommerce project?+
Catalogue complexity, custom templates, integrations, data migration and test coverage all affect the estimate. Hosting, paid extensions and payment-provider fees should be identified separately from development.
Can existing orders and product URLs be retained?+
That is assessed during migration planning. Data fields, platform compatibility and orders placed during the move need explicit handling. Changed product URLs should be mapped to relevant new destinations.
