In detail
Mygrafistas has been printing promotional and personal gifts since 2006. The site ran on a heavy theme with 38 plugins and took over 3 seconds before it even started loading. We moved it to our own ERP Theme with a child theme, without losing any Google traffic.
A migration with no losses
- We checked 5,940 public URLs and the SEO/content of 840 products with hashes: identical before and after.
- 344 products with price tiers were moved over from the old OpenCart.
- 2,023 useless variants became 271 clean color × size variants.
- 135 duplicate or dead products were merged or removed, with 116 301 redirects.
- We built a “Catalog review” tool where the owner decides per product and the decisions turn into commands automatically.
One T-shirt, 91 variants
Instead of dozens of separate products, one T-shirt with 13 colors × XS–XXXL and two price lists, for white and colored. The grid activates only the price list for the customer’s choice.


Helpers for the customer
- ERP Assistant: finds products (search first, AI only when needed, best sellers first), helps with orders and has a public tracking page with a 5-step timeline.
- “How to order” video in 16:9 and 9:16, a page with 10 chapters and a banner on every product.

Better browsing & SEO
- Greek and English: an English version at /en/ with a 648-phrase dictionary, hreflang and its own sitemap.
- Infinite scroll, a second photo on hover, color and print color filters, a mega menu with icons.
- Automatic image conversion to WebP with a before/after slider.
- Production times, weights and dimensions on about 270 products. Pen prices updated from the supplier.
- robots.txt and /llms.txt for search engines and AI chatbots.
- Quick product deletion from the admin, with an automatic 301 redirect to the category.
Result: PageSpeed 99 on desktop and mobile, 100/100/100 in Accessibility, Best practices and SEO.
