Magento specialists for your dedicated team.

When a Magento store needs a specialist.

An upgrade that keeps slipping is often the first sign. The store runs a 2.4 release that is several versions behind, and every security patch from Adobe turns into a small project. A specialist reads the Composer file, lists the extensions that block the move and takes the store forward one release at a time.

Speed is the other common reason. Category pages take seconds because Varnish serves almost nothing from cache, or the admin freezes on every product save because the indexers run at once. Both have known fixes that a general PHP developer tends to find slowly.

B2B selling brings its own work. Company accounts, shared catalogues, customer-specific prices and quote requests come with Adobe Commerce, and most of the hours go into connecting them to the ERP.

What our Magento developers do in a sprint.

• Release upgrades Moving a store from 2.4.6 to a supported 2.4 release on PHP 8.3, with Composer and a staging copy. Adobe's security patches go in as they come out.
• Search engine moves Switching catalogue search from Elasticsearch 7 to OpenSearch, rebuilding the index and checking the results for your top search terms.
• Full-page cache repairs Finding the block marked as not cacheable that switches Varnish off for a whole page type. Its customer data moves to private sections loaded after the page.
• Upgrade-safe customisation Replacing a rewritten core class with a plugin or an observer, and moving database changes into declarative schema and data patches.
• ERP and stock sync Syncing orders, prices and stock with an ERP through the REST and bulk APIs. RabbitMQ consumers work through the queue, so a large import doesn't slow checkout.
• Storefront rebuilds Rebuilding a slow Luma theme on Hyvä, which replaces RequireJS and Knockout with Alpine.js and Tailwind CSS, and checking each extension for a compatible version.

Magento knowledge is store knowledge, and it builds up over years. The developers we assign work full time on your store and nothing else. The person who did the last upgrade is still there for the next one. Together they form your dedicated software development team, managed by us from our offices in Thailand.

Where Magento projects go wrong.

Most trouble starts with a change made directly in core code or in the vendor folder. It works on the day, and the next Composer update overwrites it or fails because of it. Good Magento developers use plugins, observers and Adobe's service contracts, and leave core alone.

Extensions carry risk too. A store with forty modules from fifteen vendors has forty things to check before every release, and some of those vendors have stopped shipping updates. Removing modules you don't use is often the cheapest speed and security gain on the store.

Skipped patches are the most dangerous habit. The CosmicSting flaw in 2024 was widely exploited on stores that hadn't applied the patch Adobe had already released. A store that upgrades in small, regular steps stays out of that position.

Questions buyers ask about Magento.

• Magento Open Source or Adobe Commerce: which do we need? Both run on the same core. Adobe Commerce adds the B2B module, content staging, customer segments and Adobe's cloud hosting, for a licence fee. If you don't need those, Open Source with a few well-chosen extensions is usually enough. We recruit for whichever one you run.
• Can a remote developer take over a store someone else built? Yes. Most Magento work is on stores somebody else built. The first weeks go to reading: the Composer file, the module list, the overrides in app/code, the cron and indexer setup. Out of that comes a list of what blocks the next upgrade, ordered by risk.
• How long does it take to hire a Magento developer? From signing to a hired Magento developer takes us four weeks. We don't keep developers on a bench, so we recruit for your store: your Magento version, your extensions, your B2B setup. There's no upfront fee, and if we can't find the right person in the agreed time, you pay nothing.
