Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source builds in three fixed brackets: $12,000-25,000, $30,000-75,000, $90,000+. US-based, Hyva frontend, real timelines.
Base scope of work — applies to all tiers. See the tier comparison below for hours and SLA specifics.
Modern frontend built on Hyva, not a reskinned Luma or marketplace theme. Loads in a fraction of the time.
Products, attributes, categories, and pricing imported and structured, not dumped from a spreadsheet.
Stripe, PayPal, Adyen, or Authorize.Net plus your carriers, tested end to end in staging.
OpenSearch, Redis, and Varnish full-page cache configured so the store stays fast under catalog load.
ERP, PIM, or CRM connections built against real APIs, with sync logic you can monitor.
Git-based deployment with a staging environment so releases do not happen by FTP at midnight.
Transparent process — you always know what stage we're at and what comes next.
Catalog review, integration mapping, B2B requirements, and a wireframe pass. Deliverable: a signed brief with fixed scope and price.
Theme, custom modules, and the data model. You see progress on staging every sprint.
ERP/PIM/CRM and payment connections wired against live test endpoints.
Cache tuning, load testing, cross-browser and checkout QA before anything goes near production.
DNS cutover, smoke tests, and a watch window. We stay on call through the first traffic.
Pick the level that fits your size and required response time. You can switch tiers between months.
Magento Open Source store, Hyva theme, standard payment and shipping, up to ~1,000 SKUs. For brands outgrowing Shopify or WooCommerce.
Custom Adobe Commerce or Open Source build with one major integration (ERP, PIM, or CRM), complex catalog and merchandising.
Adobe Commerce B2B, multi-store from one backend, several integrations, dedicated SLA. For wholesale and large catalogs.
Scope transparency — no surprises in the monthly report.
Access we require — passed via secure channel (1Password / Bitwarden).
Our three brackets are $12,000-25,000 for a Magento Open Source store on Hyva, $30,000-75,000 for a custom Adobe Commerce or Open Source build with one major integration, and $90,000 and up for enterprise B2B or multi-store work. We quote a fixed number after a scoping call, not by the hour.
Most mid-market stores are fine on Magento Open Source, which is free to license. Adobe Commerce adds B2B accounts, advanced merchandising, and a paid license in the five-figures-a-year range. We recommend Open Source unless you genuinely need the B2B or enterprise features, and we tell you which camp you are in honestly.
Only above a certain size. If you sell a few hundred products with simple pricing, Shopify or WooCommerce will be cheaper to build and run. Magento pays off with large catalogs, B2B pricing, multiple storefronts, or deep ERP integration. We will tell you if you do not need it.
Most projects run 8 to 24 weeks. A clean Open Source store on a modest catalog is at the short end; an enterprise B2B build with several integrations is at the long end. The signed brief sets the timeline before we start.
We default to Hyva for the storefront because it is far faster than the legacy Luma theme and cheaper to maintain than a full PWA Studio headless setup. We build headless with PWA Studio or a custom frontend when a client has a specific reason for it.
Yes. Magento 1 reached end of life in 2020, so an M1 store is unsupported and a security risk. We handle Magento 1 to 2 migrations as a separate fixed-scope project covering data, theme rebuild, and extension replacements.
Yes. Every build includes a 30-day post-launch warranty, and most clients move onto a monthly support retainer for updates, security patches, and small features after that.
We are US-based and work in US business hours. You deal with the people building your store, not an account manager passing tickets to an offshore queue.
Most Magento development pages read the same: “certified experts, 400+ stores launched, scalable and secure.” None of them tell you what a build costs or when Magento is the wrong tool. We will. We build Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source stores out of the US, we quote fixed brackets up front, and we turn away projects that would be cheaper and happier on Shopify or WooCommerce.
Magento earns its complexity at scale: large catalogs, B2B pricing rules, multiple storefronts, and integrations with an ERP or PIM. Below that line, the platform is overkill. Here is how we scope a real build.
Magento projects are bigger than typical WordPress work because the platform is heavier and the businesses on it are more demanding. We sort builds into three honest brackets and tell you which one you are in after a scoping call, not after the invoice.
Whatever the bracket, the engineering baseline does not change. We build on Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce with a HyvA frontend (the modern replacement for the slow Luma theme), Composer-managed modules, and OpenSearch, Redis, and Varnish wired up from day one. No theme bought off a marketplace and reskinned.
If you sell 200 products to consumers with simple pricing, Magento will cost you more to run and maintain than the sales justify. We will say so and point you at WooCommerce or Shopify instead. Magento pays off when you have thousands of SKUs, B2B accounts with negotiated pricing, several storefronts from one backend, or a real ERP integration. If none of that is true, the platform is working against you.
We work in fixed phases with a signed brief at the end of discovery, so the scope and the number are agreed before code starts. Most builds run 8 to 24 weeks depending on catalog size and integrations.
This is the question every Magento buyer trips over. Magento Open Source is free to license and covers most mid-market stores. Adobe Commerce adds B2B features, advanced merchandising, and a paid license that runs into five figures a year, justified mainly by B2B or large enterprise needs. We help you pick honestly: most of our clients are fine on Open Source, and we say so even though the Adobe license is not our revenue either way. We also handle Magento SEO once the store is live, since a fast build still needs the technical SEO done right.
Need ongoing help? Our Magento support and maintenance plans publish pricing and response times up front.
30-day post-launch warranty. Any bug we shipped, we fix without a separate ticket. After 30 days, ongoing care moves to a support retainer.
