Senior Magento and Adobe Commerce engineering: custom stores, B2B configurations, ERP and PIM integrations, Magento 1 to 2 migrations, and flat-fee maintenance. Serious projects only, and we will tell you when Magento is the wrong call.
We treat Magento as what it is: the most powerful open-source ecommerce platform, and the most demanding to run. The work below is senior engineering, not a template install. Custom Adobe Commerce builds, B2B setups with customer-specific pricing and quote workflows, ERP and PIM integrations, and Magento 1 to 2 migrations that keep your URLs and your rankings intact.
Here is the part most agencies leave off the page: Magento is not for everyone. Below roughly $1M a year in revenue, or under 5,000 SKUs with simple needs, the platform's overhead does not pay back. We will point you at Shopify or WooCommerce and lose the sale rather than sell you a build you resent in a year. When Magento is the right call, you want it built by people who have already done the migrations and the B2B edge cases.
How we usually work. The first call is free and scoped: 30 minutes to work out whether you need a fresh Adobe Commerce build, a Magento 1 to 2 migration, a B2B configuration, or a performance rescue on a store that has slowed to a crawl. You leave that call with a fixed scope and a price, not a vague proposal.
Magento ships in two editions. Magento Open Source is free and covers most B2C stores. Adobe Commerce is the paid tier, licensed on your annual sales, and adds native B2B, Page Builder, advanced segmentation and Adobe support. We will tell you which you actually need. Plenty of stores pay for Adobe Commerce and use a fifth of it; most B2C catalogs run fine on Open Source with a few good extensions.
Magento's default Luma theme is slow, and Adobe's PWA Studio is heavy to keep maintained. For most builds in 2026 we use Hyva, a Tailwind-based frontend that drops the bloated default and routinely scores 90+ on mobile Lighthouse where Luma sits in the 30s. It is a one-off license of around 1,000 euro per project, and it pays for itself in Core Web Vitals and saved developer time.
Real numbers, since nobody else prints them. A straightforward Open Source store with a Hyva frontend starts around $25,000 and 8 to 12 weeks. A B2B build with ERP integration runs $40,000 and up. A Magento 1 to 2 migration depends on how much custom code from the old store has to be rewritten, so we quote it after an audit, not before. Maintenance retainers start at $500 a month and include security patching, which on Magento is not something you skip.
Other platforms. Magento is not always the answer. For content-led and high-security sites we build on Drupal, and for leaner stores that want full code ownership on OpenCart. The full lineup is on our development services overview.

Magento support and maintenance plans with published SLA tiers and response times.
Custom store builds, frontend work (usually on Hyva), custom module development, B2B configuration, ERP, PIM and payment integrations, Magento 1 to 2 migrations, Core Web Vitals work, and ongoing security patching. In practice most projects are a build or a migration plus a maintenance retainer.
A straightforward Magento Open Source store with a Hyva frontend starts around $25,000 and 8 to 12 weeks. B2B builds with ERP integration start near $40,000. Migrations are quoted after an audit. If your budget is under $15,000, Magento is the wrong platform and we will say so.
Open Source is free and covers most B2C stores. Adobe Commerce is paid, licensed on your annual sales, and adds native B2B, Page Builder and advanced segmentation. Most B2C catalogs run fine on Open Source with a few extensions, so we help you avoid paying for a tier you will not use.
Often, yes. Below about $1M in annual revenue, or 5,000 SKUs with simple needs, Shopify or WooCommerce will cost less and launch faster. Magento earns its keep on large catalogs, B2B pricing, multi-store and heavy customization. We would rather send you to the right platform than oversell one.
Yes. Magento 1 hit end of life in 2020 and no longer gets security patches, so staying on it is a genuine risk. We migrate the data, rebuild custom functionality on Magento 2, and preserve URLs and rankings. Scope depends on how much custom code the old store carries, which is why we audit first.
For most new builds, yes. Hyva replaces Magento's slow Luma theme and typically scores 90+ on mobile Lighthouse where Luma sits in the 30s. The license is about 1,000 euro one-off per project and it saves more than that in performance and developer hours. PWA Studio still fits specific headless cases.
Yes, on flat-fee monthly retainers from $500. That covers security patching (monthly on Magento, and not optional), uptime monitoring, small changes and an SLA on production issues. You keep full access to the code and hosting; we do not lock anyone in.
A standard Open Source build runs 8 to 12 weeks. B2B builds with integrations take longer. Migrations vary with the amount of legacy custom code. You get a timeline with the fixed scope after the first call, not a guess up front.
