Agency Pillar
Marketing Media has been a certified PrestaShop partner since before most US agencies knew the platform existed. The team has designed, developed, and launched hundreds of ecommerce projects — from straightforward catalog stores to complex B2B platforms with ERP integrations, multi-store architectures, and custom pricing engines. The expertise isn’t theoretical — it’s built from 500+ projects delivered, including migrations from Magento, Shopify, OpenCart, WooCommerce, and every legacy cart you’ve heard of.
Infrastructure Practice
Our infrastructure practice wasn’t bolted onto the agency as an afterthought. It was built alongside it — specifically around PrestaShop. Over a decade and 1,000+ managed clients, the team developed PrestaShop-specific server configurations, security hardening protocols, and performance tuning playbooks that generic hosts simply don’t have. The result: managed hosting that doesn’t just run PrestaShop — it’s optimized for it, actively maintained, and backed by 24/7 technical support from engineers who know the platform cold.
Why the Combination Matters
When your agency and your host are different companies, problems fall between them. Performance issues become blame games. Deployments get delayed waiting for infrastructure access. Security incidents have two support teams pointing at each other. Because our agency and infrastructure practice are the same team, that gap doesn’t exist.
The same people who built your custom module know the server it runs on. Debugging is faster because there’s no handoff between “agency” and “host.” Performance fixes happen at both layers simultaneously, not sequentially after a blame conversation.
Every code deployment is executed by a team that controls the infrastructure it deploys to. Staging environments match production exactly. Rollback plans are prepared and tested — not improvised if something goes wrong at midnight.
When we build custom modules, we also configure the server cache, queue workers, and PHP-FPM settings for them. Generic hosts can’t do this. The result is consistently better performance — not as an afterthought, but as part of how we build.
Your store’s architecture — custom modules, override logic, server configuration, known quirks — is documented once and shared across the team. Whether you’re opening a support ticket or scoping new development, someone already knows your setup.
Marketing Media’s SEO, paid media, and CRO capabilities mean Prestausa can improve the store and the traffic feeding it in the same engagement. Most PrestaShop agencies stop at launch. We’re also structured to grow what we build.
No agency contract plus a separate hosting SLA plus a support retainer with a third party. One engagement with Prestausa covers design, development, hosting, and ongoing support — with accountability that doesn’t fragment when something goes wrong.
Track Record
These figures reflect Marketing Media’s full track record — agency projects and managed infrastructure clients combined. They represent the actual breadth of the team’s PrestaShop experience across both practices.
We evaluate whether PrestaShop is the right foundation for your business model, volume, and team — or flag where it’s creating friction you’ve learned to live with.

Credentials
Certifications are not sales material. They represent technical validation by the platforms themselves — and accountability to standards that a general web agency can’t claim.
Certified Partner
Marketing Media is a certified PrestaShop Silver Partner — verified by PrestaShop SA. Means our developers are assessed against PrestaShop’s technical standards, not just self-declared experts.
Listed
Officially listed in the PrestaShop Experts directory — a vetted registry of agencies reviewed by PrestaShop for quality and technical depth. Not every agency qualifies.
Infrastructure
Our infrastructure stack is built on Microsoft Azure — enterprise-grade cloud with global availability, disaster recovery, and compliance standards suitable for high-volume commerce operations.
Hosting
Unlike generic hosts that support “any CMS,” our infrastructure practice was built specifically around PrestaShop — with PS-optimized server configurations and support protocols unavailable on commodity hosting plans.
Agency
Listed in the PrestaShop Partner Program as a specialist in digital strategy, eCommerce, and AI-driven marketing solutions for both B2C and B2B businesses — not a general digital agency that also does ecommerce.
Support
Our infrastructure team operates 24/7 technical support for all managed hosting clients — with emergency response capability and resolution-focused SLAs, not just ticket acknowledgement windows.
The Honest Comparison
There are three types of partners most US merchants end up working with on PrestaShop. This is how we compare — without pretending we’re the right choice for every situation.
| What You Need | Prestausa | Generalist US Agency | Offshore Dev Team |
|---|---|---|---|
| PrestaShop certification | ✓ Certified Silver Partner | Typically none | Varies widely |
| US market focus | ✓ Built for US merchants | ✓ Yes | Not typically |
| Managed hosting included | ✓ Full PS-optimized stack | Rarely — outsourced | No |
| B2B ecommerce depth | ✓ Native specialty | Shopify-first, B2B limited | Technical only, no strategy |
| ERP / system integrations | ✓ Standard practice | Case by case | Buildable, no domain knowledge |
| Marketing (SEO / Paid) | ✓ Built-in capability | ✓ Often strong | Not in scope |
| Single point of accountability | ✓ One contract, full stack | Hosting is a separate vendor | Dev only — no ops coverage |
| Communication & timezone | ✓ US/CA timezone, English | ✓ Easy | Often challenging |
How We Work
Every engagement starts the same way: with a straight conversation about what you need, what you have, and what’s realistic. No pitch decks. No proposals that take two weeks to arrive. A real assessment, quickly.
STEP 01
30–45 minutes. We ask about your platform, your team, your goals, and the gaps your current setup creates. You get an honest read on fit before anything is scoped.
STEP 02
We review your current setup — store architecture, hosting environment, custom code, and known issues. Findings documented before a proposal is written, not after.
STEP 03
Fixed-scope, fixed-price proposal based on real findings — not a template with your name on it. Deliverables, timeline, and success criteria agreed in writing before engagement starts.
STEP 04
Development, infrastructure setup, and ongoing support run through the same team. One contact. One accountability chain. Retainer or project — your choice of engagement model.
Start the Conversation
Whether you’re evaluating PrestaShop, stuck on an existing store, or looking to replace a vendor who doesn’t know the platform — the first conversation is always free and always straight.
We respond within one business day. Always.
No pitch. No commitment. One honest call.
