Project Overview
MTC Motorsport is a UK-based supplier of high-performance automotive parts, serving enthusiasts and professionals across the country. As the business expanded, the existing Magento store became increasingly difficult to manage and required a platform that offered greater flexibility and easier day-to-day operations. Webiators handled the complete migration from Magento to Shopify, ensuring products, categories, customer information, and essential store data were transferred safely. Alongside the migration, we implemented SEO improvements to help maintain the website's search visibility while delivering a faster and more user-friendly shopping experience.
