Project Summary

BelVG upgraded a German-language houseware e-commerce site from Magento 1.9 to Magento 2, migrating data, recreating the original customer interface, and implementing full SSL encryption. The work was completed on a separate development server and the project included post-update support. The client praised BelVG’s technical expertise, quick turnaround and strong communication; the launch was delayed from Oct. 2017 to Jan. 2018 due to holiday sales.
