Part of a long engagement on tintadlaplastykow.pl (custom CMS, 36k+ SKU, since 2022) — this thread: legacy takeover and frontpage redesign. Takeover of an outdated system (custom PHP, CleanUI) serving over 36,000 products. The business could not pause for a full migration — the living system had to be modernized with Symfony components introduced gradually.
