What does this case show?
Technical base
The work was carried out on the platform: PrestaShop 1.7.8 → 8.2, Warehouse theme. The focus was on stability, support and the ability to develop the site further.
Practical result
The case is useful as an example of work in the format: technical support and development of an existing website (not our own development from scratch). This is not only the launch, but also maintenance, development or complex technical modifications.
