Magento done right, or moved on from properly. We maintain, optimize, and extend Adobe Commerce stores - and migrate the ones ready for something simpler.
Magento's default frontend is its weakest point. Heavy JavaScript, slow page loads, and a theme layer most developers avoid touching. We build frontends that fix that — either through a properly optimized custom theme or a Hyvä build, which strips out the legacy stack and typically transforms performance scores overnight.
Magento stores carry more data than most — complex catalogs, deep order histories, custom attributes accumulated over years. That's exactly what makes migration risky and why it needs a structured process rather than a plugin. We map every field, run a full test migration, verify the results against your source data, and preserve the URL structure that carries your search traffic.
Magento is the right choice when your requirements outgrow what hosted platforms allow - thousands of SKUs with complex attributes, several storefronts across markets, or B2B pricing that changes by customer. We build those stores properly from the start: catalog architecture that scales, infrastructure sized for your traffic, and configuration decisions documented rather than left for the next developer to reverse-engineer.
The Magento marketplace has an extension for most things. It also has plenty that are unmaintained, poorly written, or built for a use case that isn't quite yours. We develop custom modules following Magento's architecture properly - using plugins and observers rather than core overrides, so your customization survives the next version upgrade instead of blocking it.
Magento merchants rarely run on Magento alone. There's an ERP holding inventory and financials, a CRM holding the customer relationship, and a marketing stack that needs both. We build the integrations between them - mapping fields across systems that were never designed to agree with each other, and handling the volume that makes enterprise syncs fail where small ones work fine.
Slow Magento is rarely one problem. It's usually indexing that hasn't been tuned, a database carrying years of log tables, extensions running queries on every page load, and a frontend loading JavaScript nobody uses. We audit the full stack - server, database, application, and frontend - then fix the causes in order of impact, with measurements at each step.
LitOS builds, migrates, and optimizes Shopify stores with a focus on design, performance, and growth.
Magento projects start higher than other platforms and scale with complexity. A new store build typically starts in the tens of thousands; module development and integrations are quoted separately. Factor in hosting, which is substantially more than WordPress hosting, plus Adobe Commerce licensing if you're on the paid edition. We scope thoroughly before quoting because Magento estimates go wrong when requirements are vague.
It depends on whether you're using what Magento gives you. If you have complex catalogs, multiple storefronts, or B2B requirements that other platforms handle poorly, staying usually makes sense. If your store is relatively simple and you're paying for maintenance you don't get value from, replatforming is worth costing out. We work in both directions, so our answer isn't driven by which service we'd rather sell you.
Almost always yes. The usual causes are untuned caching (Varnish, Redis), a database carrying years of log tables, extensions running heavy queries, and undersized hosting. We audit the full stack — server, database, application, frontend — and fix the causes in order of impact. Note that cart and checkout can't be cached the way category pages can, so those need specific work.
Adobe releases security patches regularly and major versions periodically. Security patches aren't optional — unpatched Magento stores are actively targeted, and PCI compliance requires staying current. We handle patching as part of maintenance plans, testing on staging before applying to production.
Usually because of how it was customized. Core file overrides and poorly written extensions block upgrades, which is why some stores end up stuck on old versions. We assess what's blocking the upgrade, refactor the problem code to use plugins and dependency injection properly, then complete the upgrade. It's more work than a clean upgrade, but it removes the problem permanently.
Yes — SAP, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo, and custom systems. The technical work is straightforward; the harder part is agreeing how fields map between systems that model your business differently. We handle that mapping with your team, then build with queue-based processing and retry logic so the sync holds up at your order volume.
Yes, and it's a significant part of our Magento work. Magento's complexity means projects get abandoned more often than on other platforms. We begin with a technical audit covering code quality, security, upgrade blockers, and undocumented customizations, then give you a clear picture of what you've inherited before proposing any work.
