AQELTech

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of ReflexMania, an e-commerce company that specializes in buying and selling used photographic equipment, both online and in-store.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with AQELTech?

We needed to completely rebuild and optimize our e-commerce platform using Magento 2. The main goals were to improve site performance, create a clean and modern user interface, ensure full responsiveness across devices, and set up a solid foundation for future integrations with external marketplaces and automation systems.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

AQELTech managed the full development cycle of our new Magento 2 store. The scope included setting up a fresh, clean Magento 2 environment from scratch, custom theme development tailored to our branding, integration with our internal inventory management system, configuration of product catalog, categories, and filters, setup of payment gateways and shipping methods, optimization for speed, mobile responsiveness, and SEO, and implementation of security best practices and backups. Their main deliverables were a fully functional Magento 2 e-commerce site and a clean codebase that was easy to scale in the future.

What is the team composition?

We mainly worked with one key developer, Ibrahim, who handled the project with impressive efficiency. There may have been others supporting in the background, but from our side, it was a one-on-one collaboration.

How did you come to work with AQELTech?

We found AQELTech through an online search while looking for experienced Magento 2 developers. Their profile stood out for professionalism and client feedback. We chose AQELTech because they offered the perfect balance of technical expertise, speed, and value. Their communication was clear from the start, they quickly understood the needs of our business, and their pricing was very competitive compared to other agencies. We were also impressed by the professionalism of their team.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project started in May 2025 and was successfully completed in June 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The measurable outcomes were clear and impactful. We launched the new Magento 2 store on time, within just one month. The page load speed improved by approximately 40%, especially on mobile devices. The bounce rate dropped by around 25%, thanks to the cleaner UI and faster performance. The average session duration increased by 30%, indicating better user engagement. We also noticed a 15% increase in conversion rate during the first few weeks after launch, compared to the old platform. These improvements confirmed that the new site not only looked better but also performed more effectively in real-world usage. Everything was done with great attention to detail.

How did AQELTech perform from a project management standpoint?

AQELTech’s project management was excellent. They delivered everything on time — actually ahead of schedule in some phases — and were highly responsive throughout the entire process. Ibrahim was incredibly organized, quick to understand our priorities, and always available for updates or clarifications. They adapted smoothly to our feedback and never overpromised — they just delivered exactly what was needed, efficiently and professionally. Our primary form of communication was via WhatsApp and email. Ibrahim was always quick to respond, super clear, and very available throughout the entire project. This made the collaboration smooth and efficient despite the remote setup. Communication was always prompt, and I never had to follow up or chase them.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What impressed us most about working with AQELTech was their speed, precision, and professionalism — all without compromising quality. Ibrahim, in particular, stood out for his ability to quickly grasp complex needs, propose smart solutions, and execute flawlessly. Unlike many agencies that overcomplicate things, AQELTech kept it lean, focused, and results-driven. It felt like working with a partner, not just a supplier. It's rare to find this combination of quality and affordability. The work was delivered quickly, professionally, and exactly as I needed — it was a flawless collaboration.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s very little we would change. The project went smoothly from start to finish.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with AQELTech?

We needed to migrate our website from Magento 1 to Magento 2. This wasn’t just a technical upgrade; it impacted performance, UX, SEO, and integrations. We needed a partner who not only understood the technical nuances of Magento but could also support our broader IT strategy.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

AQELTech has provided us with a clear migration roadmap, minimizing downtime and ensuring data integrity. Ibrahim (Founder & CEO) has handled the entire server setup and managed the migration process from start to finish. He’s navigated every challenge with precision and skill. Currently, the webshop project is still in progress, with ongoing updates to both the server infrastructure and the Magento 2 platform. Ibrahim has taken the lead in setting up and optimizing the new server environment to ensure it’s secure, scalable, and performance-ready for the demands of a modern e-commerce site. This includes configuring the latest PHP versions, database optimization, and setting up caching systems like Redis and Varnish for improved speed.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with a small, focused team from AQELTech. Ibrahim has taken the lead on the technical side, particularly with server setup and the Magento migration. The team supporting him is experienced and efficient.

How did you come to work with AQELTech?

We first contacted AQELTech via Freelancer.com. We considered several firms, but AQELTech stood out for their in-depth Magento knowledge, transparent communication, and ability to customize the platform to our business needs.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Since working with AQELTech, our website’s page load times have improved by approximately 150% thanks to the optimized server setup and Magento 2’s enhanced architecture. We’ve also seen an increase in uptime, moving from around 60% before the migration to over 90% currently, with fewer system crashes or outages. Moreover, since implementing Magento 2’s security patches and updated server configurations, we’ve had zero security incidents reported, compared to more than five prior. All critical data — products, customer info, and order history — has been successfully transferred without loss or corruption.

How did AQELTech perform from a project management standpoint?

AQELTech’s project management has been professional and well-structured throughout the Magento migration and webshop setup. They provide clear timelines and regular updates, which help us stay informed and aligned on progress. While the migration has presented some complex challenges, the team has managed them proactively and kept the project moving forward. Overall, they deliver on time according to the agreed milestones, maintaining good communication and flexibility when adjustments are needed. Our primary form of communication has been through Skype and WhatsApp, which have allowed us to stay aligned throughout the project. Whether it’s progress updates, troubleshooting, or planning next steps, tools like Trello (project/workflow) and AnyDesk have helped keep the collaboration smooth and efficient.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What has impressed me most about working with AQELTech is not only their deep technical expertise and solution-focused approach but also their honest and genuine attitude.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Overall, our experience with AQELTech has been very positive. Of course, like in any complex project involving people, not everything is perfect all the time — and that’s completely normal because we’re all humans, not robots. Sometimes, minor delays or communication hiccups happen, but AQELTech is always open to feedback and quick to adjust. Their willingness to listen and collaborate has made it easy to work through any challenges together. This approach, combined with their technical expertise, has ultimately strengthened the partnership.
