E-commerce consulting and audits
PrestaShop store development
I help you work out what your store needs, what the changes will cost and where to start. My name is Artur Stempień. I worked as a Solution Engineer in the PrestaShop team; today I put that experience to use in consulting and implementation.
- Hands-on experience in the PrestaShop team I know the platform's code and the thinking behind its architecture.
- Independent when choosing tools I take no commission from ERP vendors, platforms or module makers.
- Working with clients across Poland I work remotely. I can travel for workshops and for the kick-off of a larger project.
You can come to me with a question about choosing a platform, a problem in a live store or a plan to expand. I will help you define the scope of work and then guide you through the decisions and the implementation.

Where to start
What you can come to me with
You don't need to know the cause of the problem or have a ready specification. Just describe what makes running your store difficult.
- I have three quotes and don't know which to choose Quotes are hard to compare when each one covers different work. I will help you check the scope, the assumptions and the reasons behind the price differences. Let's compare the quotes
- I don't know what to invest in this year I will help you assess ideas, estimate the work involved and put together a plan that fits your budget. Let's plan your growth
- I don't know which platform to choose I will compare solutions against your catalogue, processes and integrations. You get the reasoning behind the recommendation. Let's choose the technology
- My store loads too slowly I will measure performance and find which elements delay page rendering and get in the way of purchases. Let's find the cause
- My developer stopped responding I will review the available code, documentation and the state of the store. On that basis I will set out the terms for taking over its maintenance. Let's arrange ongoing care
- Every change costs a fortune I will analyse the dependencies in the code and modules. I will point out what is worth cleaning up to make further work easier. Let's check your store
01
I check the state of the store
I analyse how modules behave, the server load and the places where problems occur. I collect measurements to establish the cause and the scale of the changes needed.
02
I explain the options
I present the options with their cost, risk and impact on the business. I help you compare them, and you choose the direction of further work.
03
I plan and implement changes
I order the work so that it respects dependencies and the company's plans. While developing the store, I keep it ready for further expansion.
Technology that fits the store
When choosing a system I take into account how you sell, your integrations and the cost of long-term maintenance. I help you judge which features are worth paying for in your business.
- PrestaShop
- Sylius
- WooCommerce
- Magento
- Shopify
- Shoper
- IdoSell
- Sky-Shop
- Shopware
I specialise in PrestaShop. I also advise on other platforms
I know PrestaShop from working on the platform itself and on client stores. When choosing technology I also compare other systems, taking into account their capabilities, limitations and your company's requirements.
Let's compare the optionsPrestaShop implementation, audits and development
I spent three years in the PrestaShop team. I use my knowledge of the platform's code when building and extending stores and when fixing failures.
Sylius complex sales processes
I consider Sylius for non-standard B2B, product configurators, high traffic and a store decoupled from its front end. I assess whether such an architecture is justified.
WooCommerce reviewing the current store and planning growth
I help you check whether WooCommerce fits the size of your catalogue and your company's plans, and when the current setup needs to change.
Magento audit and cost assessment
I compare the Magento features you actually use with the cost of maintaining them. On that basis I help you decide whether to keep developing it or switch systems.
Shopify and other SaaS ready-made subscription platforms
I check whether Shopify or another SaaS platform is enough for your company's plans. I also help with SEO and GEO matters.
Custom-built stores code review and maintenance plan
I assess the documentation, code and dependencies of an in-house system. I point out what it needs to stay maintainable and when a migration is worth considering.

E-commerce consultant, PrestaShop expert
Artur Stempień
Experience from both the platform maker's and the store owner's side
For three years I worked in the PrestaShop team on the code and on supporting experts. I learned the decisions behind the platform's architecture, its limitations and how it is developed. Today I use that knowledge when I diagnose problems and plan changes in stores.
I start consulting from the company's situation. Sometimes a new build is needed; sometimes two weeks of work on the current setup is enough. I take no commission from ERP vendors, platforms or module makers, so I can recommend the option that suits the client's needs.
After working together
What clients say
We ordered an audit before deciding to rebuild the store. The outcome was that we didn't need a rebuild - it was enough to clean up the modules and custom solutions.
We had three rebuild quotes on the table, each with a different price and scope. After two weeks of working with Artur we chose a fourth option that nobody had proposed, and it cost us half of the cheapest of those quotes.
The migration from PrestaShop 1.6 to 8 covered ten years of order history and all our previous SEO work. Organic traffic returned to its pre-migration level after seventeen days. Two agencies had told us earlier that keeping our rankings would not be possible.

Before our first call
Questions clients ask most often
If you need more information, write to me. I will reply even if you are only considering working together.
Write to meWhen do I need consulting, and when implementation?
Consulting helps you decide what is worth doing, on which technology and for what budget. Implementation carries out the chosen plan. If you are not yet sure of the direction, let's start by assessing the options.
Can you help me with a platform other than PrestaShop?
Yes. I also advise on and audit WooCommerce, Magento, Shopify, Sylius and custom-built stores. I program in PHP, JavaScript and TypeScript. I assess the scope of technical work once I know the system; my deepest experience is with PrestaShop.
What was your role at PrestaShop?
I worked on the platform maker's side as a Solution Engineer, dealing with code and supporting experts. I learned the system's architecture and the reasons behind its design choices. I draw on that experience when diagnosing and planning changes.
How do you stay independent if you also build stores?
I bill consulting and implementation separately. If I can carry out the recommended changes myself, I say so and point you to other contractors for comparison. I take no commission from ERP vendors, platforms or module makers.
How do you price your work?
An audit costs from a few thousand PLN. I quote implementation work once the scope is clear, and ongoing consulting and maintenance are billed monthly. A free introductory call helps establish what kind of help you need and what budget to plan for.
Can I come to you with a small problem?
Yes. If during our call it turns out that changing a setting is enough, I will explain what to do. Not every issue needs a paid project.
