Based in Eastbourne, East Sussex · Working with businesses across the UK and Europe
We build, customise and develop PrestaShop ecommerce stores around the way your business works. From new online shops and tailored functionality to integrations, checkout improvements and ongoing development, we create flexible ecommerce platforms designed for long-term growth.
A successful PrestaShop store needs more than an attractive storefront. It needs a well-structured product catalogue, reliable functionality, a smooth customer journey and a technical foundation that can adapt as your business develops.
At KAIA Design, we approach PrestaShop development as part of a wider ecommerce design and development strategy. We connect the visual experience with platform functionality, product and category architecture, payment and shipping processes, and the systems that support your day-to-day operations.
We also consider how each development decision affects search engine visibility, structured product information, emerging AI-powered search experiences and the ongoing maintenance of your store. The aim is to build an ecommerce platform that works for your customers today without limiting what your business may need tomorrow.
Custom functionality, modules, integrations and technical improvements.
Product architecture, navigation, checkout and customer journeys.
Technical SEO, structured content and product discoverability.
Store improvements, maintenance, performance and technical support.
From complete online stores to individual features and technical improvements, our PrestaShop development services help businesses create, extend and improve their ecommerce platforms. We focus on practical solutions that connect store functionality, customer experience and business operations, with the flexibility to develop further as your requirements change.
New PrestaShop ecommerce stores developed around your products, customer experience and business requirements. We establish the store structure, configure essential functionality and create a reliable foundation for online selling and future development.
Organised product catalogues, logical category hierarchies, product attributes, filters and navigation that make stores easier to manage and products easier to discover. We consider usability, catalogue growth and search visibility from the outset.
Tailored features and module development to extend standard PrestaShop functionality. Whether you need additional product options, specific workflows or improvements to existing features, we develop solutions around genuine business requirements.
Checkout configuration, payment gateway integrations and improvements to the purchasing journey. We examine how the cart, payments, customer information and order processing work together to support a smoother, more reliable shopping experience.
Shipping configurations, delivery options, order processing and fulfilment-related functionality. We help align the ecommerce platform with practical operational needs, reducing unnecessary steps for customers and store administrators.
PrestaShop integrations with payment providers, delivery services, business software and external applications. We assess how data should move between systems and develop or configure suitable connections where the platform needs to support wider business processes.
Not every ecommerce requirement fits an existing module or standard platform feature. Tell us what you want your PrestaShop store to achieve, and we can explore the most practical development approach.
An ecommerce store rarely operates in isolation. Payments, deliveries, inventory, customer communications and order management all depend on information moving accurately between different parts of a business.
Our approach to PrestaShop integrations focuses on connecting the systems and processes your store depends on. This can involve configuring existing modules, adapting third-party solutions or developing tailored integrations when standard functionality does not meet your requirements.
We consider data accuracy, operational efficiency, customer experience and ongoing maintainability throughout the development process. A well-connected ecommerce platform should make everyday operations easier, reduce unnecessary manual work and remain manageable as your business grows.
Our ongoing work with Turboworks includes real-world PrestaShop development, payment-related troubleshooting and technical improvements to an established ecommerce platform.
Payment gateways, transaction flows and checkout-related functionality.
Delivery providers, shipping rules and order fulfilment processes.
Stock information, catalogue updates and product data connections.
Connections with business applications and administrative systems.
Custom data exchanges and connections with third-party platforms.
Tracking, reporting and relevant marketing integrations.
A well-developed PrestaShop store should feel consistent, intuitive and easy to use. The way products are presented, categories are organised and customers move through the purchasing process can be just as important as the functionality operating behind the scenes.
We combine PrestaShop front-end development with thoughtful ecommerce website design, adapting storefront layouts, themes, navigation and product presentation to suit the brand and the people using the store.
This includes responsive layouts, category and product page improvements, interactive features and a clearer shopping journey across desktop, tablet and mobile devices. We also consider how front-end decisions influence website performance, accessibility and search visibility.
The result is a more connected ecommerce experience, where the visual design supports the technical platform rather than working separately from it.
Consistent browsing and shopping experiences across different screen sizes.
Product pages, categories and navigation developed around the needs of your catalogue.
Visual consistency supported by practical features and reliable front-end implementation.
The way a PrestaShop store is developed can directly influence how easily search engines discover, crawl and understand its products, categories and content. A well-designed storefront is important, but the underlying ecommerce website architecture also needs to support organic visibility and long-term growth.
At KAIA Design, we consider technical SEO throughout the development process. This includes logical product and category structures, search-friendly URLs, internal linking, canonicalisation, structured data and the technical decisions that affect crawling, indexing and website performance.
Our approach connects PrestaShop development with ecommerce SEO, helping create a stronger foundation for product discovery and relevant search traffic. Whether we are building a new store or improving an existing platform, we look beyond individual pages to understand how the entire ecommerce website works together.
Logical catalogue hierarchies, navigation and internal linking that help customers and search engines find relevant products.
Search-friendly URLs, canonical tags and technical controls that help manage which store pages are available for indexing.
Consistent product details, attributes and relevant schema markup to support clearer interpretation of ecommerce content.
Page loading, mobile usability and technical stability considered alongside the store's wider search requirements.
Ecommerce discovery is changing. Customers increasingly use a combination of traditional search engines, AI-assisted search experiences and conversational tools to research products, compare options and find businesses that meet their needs.
For a PrestaShop ecommerce store, this makes clear, consistent product information increasingly valuable. Well-organised categories, descriptive product content, accurate attributes and appropriate structured data can help search systems interpret what a business sells and how its products relate to different customer needs.
At KAIA Design, we connect ecommerce development, technical SEO and AI search visibility through a shared focus on website architecture and information clarity. We build and develop PrestaShop stores with structured, accessible content that supports search engine understanding and creates a stronger foundation for emerging AI-driven discovery.
While no platform or optimisation technique can guarantee inclusion in AI-generated responses, a technically sound store with useful, well-structured information is better prepared for different forms of online discovery.

Product interpretation & discovery
Clear product information supports people first, while also helping search technologies interpret an online store more accurately.
Our long-standing collaboration with Turboworks, an established UK turbocharger specialist, demonstrates how PrestaShop development can support an ecommerce business through different stages of growth, technical change and increasing operational demands.
What began as an earlier website project developed into a comprehensive ecommerce platform, followed by ongoing PrestaShop development, technical management and search optimisation.
As Turboworks expanded its product range and online operations, we developed a more capable PrestaShop ecommerce store to support its growing catalogue, customer requirements and online sales.
Our work has included ecommerce website development, platform redesign, catalogue organisation, technical improvements and ongoing support. A later major project involved rebuilding the existing PrestaShop 1.7.7 store on a newer PrestaShop 8 platform, updating its technical foundations while retaining the familiar visual experience requested by the client.
The development process also considered existing URLs, content structure, customer journeys and organic search visibility, helping connect platform improvements with the wider requirements of a working ecommerce business.
Our continued involvement includes troubleshooting, payment-related technical issues, platform updates and improvements to the store’s functionality. This long-term relationship illustrates why PrestaShop development, ecommerce SEO and website maintenance should work together rather than being treated as separate services.

A long-term ecommerce partnership connecting PrestaShop development, technical SEO, local SEO, platform maintenance and continuous improvement – built around the changing needs of a real UK business.
Our experience with PrestaShop ecommerce development extends beyond a single industry or project. Alongside our long-term work with Turboworks, our earlier ecommerce projects include Unlimited Crystals and Bio New Life – two distinct online stores developed from the ground up for different product ranges and brand requirements.
These historical projects reflect our hands-on experience in bringing together storefront design, product catalogue structure, PrestaShop configuration and supporting brand materials.
An elegant PrestaShop ecommerce store developed for a specialist crystal retailer. The project combined online store development, product and category organisation, customised storefront layouts and brand-led product presentation.
The store included detailed product pages, filtered collections, educational content and supporting navigation designed to help customers explore different types of crystals. Beyond website design and development, our work also extended to brand identity and supporting marketing materials.
A PrestaShop ecommerce website created for a wellness-focused product brand. The project brought together online shopping functionality, product presentation, informational content and a distinctive visual identity.
The website combined an ecommerce catalogue with educational sections, blog content and newsletter features. The wider creative work also included branding and supporting promotional materials, helping establish a consistent presentation across digital and printed touchpoints.
You do not need to start again to improve an existing ecommerce store. Many PrestaShop businesses reach a point where their platform needs new functionality, better integrations, technical improvements or a more reliable foundation for future growth.
We work with existing PrestaShop stores to identify limitations, resolve development challenges and introduce practical improvements. This might involve adapting the storefront, extending existing modules, improving checkout functionality or reviewing the way products, categories and orders are managed.
Where more substantial changes are required, we can assess the options for PrestaShop upgrades, migrations or platform redevelopment. The right approach depends on the current store, its customisations, compatibility requirements and business priorities.
Our aim is to improve what already works, address what does not and develop a platform that remains manageable as your business evolves.
Extend an existing PrestaShop store with tailored functionality, module configuration and practical improvements.
Review cart behaviour, payment functionality and ordering steps that affect the shopping experience.
Assess version upgrades, theme compatibility, module dependencies and the technical work needed to modernise a store.
Plan changes to infrastructure, data, functionality and platform architecture with appropriate attention to continuity.
New features, adjustments to existing functionality and development work that reflects changing business requirements.
Module compatibility, troubleshooting, platform updates and testing considered as part of responsible ecommerce management.
Attention to store performance, maintenance requirements and technical issues that can affect usability and reliability.
An ecommerce website needs to keep pace with changing products, customer expectations, technology and business operations. Launching a PrestaShop store is an important milestone, but maintaining and improving it is an ongoing process.
At KAIA Design, we support businesses with ongoing PrestaShop development, helping existing stores adapt through functionality improvements, technical troubleshooting, platform updates and evolving ecommerce requirements.
We also recognise that website maintenance, hosting, security and performance are closely connected to successful ecommerce development. Changes to themes, modules, payment systems or the platform itself can affect multiple parts of a live store, making careful planning and testing essential.
Our long-term approach helps businesses keep their ecommerce platforms functional, supported and ready for future improvements, without treating every new requirement as a completely separate project.
Every PrestaShop project is different. Whether we are creating a new ecommerce store, extending existing functionality or planning a major platform update, we follow a structured approach that connects business requirements, technical development, testing and long-term support.
We begin by understanding your business, products, customers and existing systems. For established PrestaShop stores, we also review the current platform, modules, customisations and technical limitations before recommending the next steps.
We define the development requirements, suitable functionality, product and category architecture, integrations and technical priorities. We consider usability, SEO foundations and the wider ecommerce environment before development begins.
We build or adapt the PrestaShop store, configure functionality and implement the agreed changes. Relevant testing covers customer journeys, checkout, module compatibility, responsive layouts and the technical behaviour of the platform before release.
We support the transition to the live environment, carry out post-launch checks and help plan future improvements. Where required, our ongoing website care and management services support the store beyond the initial development project.
Our development process is designed to stay flexible. Some businesses need a complete PrestaShop build, while others need targeted improvements to an existing store. In both cases, we focus on delivering practical solutions that can be maintained and developed over time.
Every PrestaShop store has different technical requirements as it evolves. Some businesses need a carefully planned platform upgrade, others are preparing to migrate an existing store, while many simply need reliable technical support to keep everything working as it should.
Alongside our PrestaShop development services, we help businesses manage these changes through practical, platform-specific expertise. Our approach considers existing functionality, data integrity, module compatibility, website performance and the wider requirements of a live ecommerce business.

Planning a new PrestaShop store, improving an existing ecommerce website or looking for long-term technical support? Here are answers to some common questions about PrestaShop development, custom functionality, platform upgrades and ecommerce performance.
PrestaShop development involves building, customising and improving ecommerce stores using the PrestaShop platform. This can include creating a new online shop, developing storefront functionality, configuring product catalogues, adapting themes, integrating third-party services and improving checkout or order management processes.
At KAIA Design, we approach PrestaShop development as part of a wider ecommerce design and development strategy, connecting technical functionality with customer experience, search visibility and long-term business requirements.
Yes. We develop new PrestaShop ecommerce stores around your products, customers and business requirements. This includes planning the store architecture, configuring the platform, organising product categories, developing the storefront and implementing the functionality needed for online selling.
We also consider ecommerce website design, technical SEO and future development requirements from the beginning, so the store is built around more than its initial launch.
Yes. We work with existing PrestaShop stores that need new functionality, technical improvements, design updates or help resolving development issues.
Depending on the condition of your current platform, we can assess existing modules, themes, checkout processes, product structures and integrations before recommending suitable improvements. Not every project requires a complete rebuild – sometimes targeted development is the most practical solution.
We can develop or adapt PrestaShop functionality to meet specific business requirements, including module-related changes and integrations with third-party systems.
Depending on the project, this may involve payment gateways, shipping providers, product data, inventory management or other business applications. We first review whether an existing module can meet your needs or whether a more tailored development approach would be appropriate.
Yes. We can assess older PrestaShop installations and help plan suitable platform upgrades. Before making changes, it is important to review the existing version, theme, installed modules, custom functionality and hosting environment.
Major upgrades may require compatibility work, testing or a more substantial rebuild. Our experience includes moving an established ecommerce store from PrestaShop 1.7 to the PrestaShop 8 generation as part of our ongoing work with Turboworks.
The appropriate upgrade route depends on the technical condition and requirements of each store.
We can help assess and plan ecommerce migrations, including moves to PrestaShop and changes involving existing PrestaShop installations.
A migration may involve transferring products, categories, customer information, content and order-related data, alongside rebuilding or adapting the storefront. We also consider existing URLs, redirects and search visibility to help reduce avoidable disruption.
The exact scope depends on the original platform, available data, technical compatibility and the functionality required in the new store.
PrestaShop can provide a strong foundation for ecommerce SEO, but search visibility depends on how the store is structured, configured, developed and maintained.
Important considerations include product and category architecture, search-friendly URLs, canonicalisation, internal linking, structured data and website performance. Technical development should support these requirements rather than create unnecessary barriers to crawling and indexing.
Our approach connects PrestaShop development with wider SEO and search visibility services, helping businesses consider organic discoverability throughout the development process.
Yes. PrestaShop stores can be developed with clearer product information, structured data, logical category relationships and accessible content that support how search engines and AI-assisted discovery systems interpret ecommerce websites.
This includes making product names, descriptions, attributes, availability information and business details as accurate and consistent as possible.
At KAIA Design, we connect ecommerce development with AI Search Optimisation and technical SEO. These improvements can support discoverability, although no approach can guarantee that a particular product or business will appear in AI-generated answers.
Yes. We support PrestaShop stores beyond their initial development, including technical troubleshooting, functionality improvements, module compatibility reviews, platform updates and ongoing development requirements.
We also provide wider website care and management services, covering maintenance-related needs such as hosting, security, backups and technical oversight, depending on the agreed scope of support.
Our long-standing work with Turboworks demonstrates how continued technical involvement can help an ecommerce platform adapt as the business develops.
Yes. KAIA Design is based in Eastbourne, East Sussex, and works with ecommerce businesses across the UK.
Whether you are planning a new PrestaShop store, improving an existing platform or looking for ongoing technical support, we can discuss your requirements remotely and recommend a development approach suited to your business.
