Project Summary

Alakmalak Technologies customized a PrestaShop template into a stable, customized e-commerce site for Elevate Style Corporation, addressing server and MySQL/THP issues and providing SEO. The vendor built a coding layer over the template (including Photoshop-to-CSS work), added a YouTube video slider, and resolved ongoing server problems. The engagement began in January 2011 and remains ongoing; the client reports dramatic traffic growth and improved rankings.

Key Challenges

No online presence initially due to cost constraints
Premade PrestaShop template caused daily failures and high maintenance costs
Ongoing server (MySQL/THP) issues and frequent downtime that required expensive hourly fixes

Project Deliverables

Templated website with custom coding layer
YouTube integrated video slider on the homepage
Photoshop-to-CSS cuts and front-end design customizations
Server and MySQL/THP issue fixes
Ongoing SEO services

Project Solution

The vendor diagnosed and resolved website and server issues (including MySQL and THP-related problems), added a custom layer of code atop a PrestaShop template, converted Photoshop designs to CSS, implemented a YouTube-integrated homepage video slider, and provided ongoing SEO and ad hoc feature work. The team provided same-day or next-day fixes, coordinated via Basecamp/Skype/QChat, and the CEO remained closely involved.

Elevated site ranking to top four in their space
