Magento Development: Built to Scale with Your Business
As a certified Magento development company, we boast over 250 live builds across B2B, B2C, and marketplace models. Our founder is a Magento Master (one of fewer than 60 globally), and our developers are Adobe Commerce certified, ensuring genuine expertise.
As a Hyvä Bronze Partner, performance is integral to our Magento development services. We avoid Luma, building every store with a front-end stack optimised for Core Web Vitals, not outdated 2015 themes.
What truly sets our Magento agency apart isn't just our services, but the strategic architectural decisions we make before any development begins.
Our Magento development company brings proven expertise and a commitment to excellence. As a certified Magento development agency UK, we hold official Magento certifications by adobe demonstrating the highest level of technical skill, industry knowledge, and best practises.
With 10+ years of hands-on experience across diverse sectors, our Magento web development company ensures your store is reliable, high-performing, and built to scale as your business grows.
Magento's default Luma front-end was built on RequireJS and Knockout.js. It works, but it carries years of technical debt that shows up directly in your Core Web Vitals scores. Lighthouse performance scores of 30 to 50 on mobile are common on Luma-built stores. That is not a hosting problem. It is a front-end architecture problem.
Hyvä replaces the entire Magento front-end stack with Alpine.js and Tailwind CSS. The result is a dramatically lighter page weight, faster Largest Contentful Paint, and Lighthouse scores that typically land in the 90s on mobile. Unlike headless or PWA architectures, Hyvä keeps the standard Magento 2 backend intact, so development costs and timelines stay reasonable.
As a certified Hyvä Bronze Partner, we migrate Luma stores to Hyvä with a full component audit before any build begins. You know exactly which extensions need porting, which need replacing, and what the migration will cost, before you commit. We also give you real before-and-after Core Web Vitals benchmarks, not estimated performance improvements.

We provide Magento support for over 100 live stores on active retainer. That is not a headline we use for marketing. It means our development team makes architectural decisions knowing they will own the maintenance consequences. Patch monitoring, error log review, cron job oversight, and quarterly store health reports come as standard. When something breaks at 2am, the same developers who built the store are the ones who fix

A Magento performance audit from our team covers indexer configuration, caching strategy (Redis, Varnish), database query analysis, extension conflict review, and Core Web Vitals benchmarking. You get a prioritised list of what to fix and what it will cost, not a traffic-light report with no actionable detail.

We build Magento API integrations for ERPs, CRMs, PIMs, shipping providers, and payment gateways. Our integration work uses a documented data contract between systems, not a direct API call that breaks every time the third party updates their schema. Order management, stock synchronisation, and customer data stay in sync because the architecture was built to handle edge cases.

Our certified Magento developers are ready for bespoke builds, Magento 2 migrations, Adobe Commerce projects, and Hyvä theme development. Each is Adobe Commerce certified, experienced in UK eCommerce, with a clear technical profile to match your project. No offshore junior handoffs.
Read MoreMagento 2 handles genuine complexity well. These are the areas where we extend it for clients with specific requirements.
Free ConsultationSeparating the Magento backend from a custom front-end gives you full control over the customer experience and independent front-end deployment cycles. We build headless Magento using GraphQL APIs with clear data-layer documentation. It is a significant architectural commitment and the right choice for a specific set of use cases. We will tell you honestly whether yours is one of them.
The Magento B2B module handles company accounts, negotiable quotes, requisition lists, shared catalogues, and purchase order workflows. Running B2B and B2C from a single Magento 2 instance is entirely viable with the right catalogue and pricing architecture. We have built multi-site setups with over 50,000 B2B SKUs and separate B2C storefronts sharing one backend.
Connecting your Magento store to your back-office systems is where most eCommerce projects create long-term technical debt. We build integrations with a documented data contract between systems. Order data, stock levels, customer records, and pricing rules stay consistent because the integration was designed for your operational reality, not a textbook API call.
PWA is the right choice when you need full front-end decoupling, app-like interactivity at high scale, or native app parity on mobile. For most UK merchants, Hyvä delivers better value at lower cost and complexity. If PWA is genuinely the right fit, we scope it properly. We do not sell it as a default upgrade.
Our Magento eCommerce development process prioritises decisions that ensure long-term store performance, not just generic project management stages.
Before we scope anything, we review your catalogue structure, integration requirements, and expected traffic profile. This takes two to three working days. Most Magento development problems we inherit from other agencies were created at this stage because it was skipped.
You get a written proposal with a defined scope, delivery timeline, and a clear list of what is and is not included. No open-ended retainer requirements before build begins. No additions to scope without a written change order.
We design around the purchase journey. Product detail pages, category navigation, and checkout flow get the most attention because that is where conversion is won or lost. Responsive, mobile-first by default. Figma handoffs include full developer annotations.
Bespoke Magento 2 modules, third-party integrations, B2B configuration, and ERP connections are built in this phase. Every integration is tested against a production-equivalent data set before it touches your live environment.
We test every function and integration against a defined acceptance checklist. Automated and manual testing across devices, browsers, and load conditions. Security testing is included as standard, not offered as an add-on.
DNS migration, cache warming, and error monitoring from minute one. A documented rollback position is in place before go-live. Post-launch monitoring runs for 30 days as standard.
Post-launch, we move into a retainer if you need one. Proactive patch monitoring, quarterly store health reports, and direct access to the same developers who built your store. Not a ticket queue managed by a separate support team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Magento web development is the process of building, configuring, and maintaining eCommerce stores on the Magento 2 or Adobe Commerce platform. It covers custom theme development, extension and module development, third-party system integration, performance tuning, and ongoing technical support. As a specialist Magento development company, we handle the full technical scope, from architecture planning through to post-launch retainer. The goal is a store that performs well under real trading conditions, not just in staging.
Magento Open Source is free to download and use. Ongoing costs cover hosting, developer support, and any extension licences. Adobe Commerce (the enterprise edition) has licence fees that scale with annual revenue. For most UK merchants, the more useful number is the total monthly cost of a hosted, supported, and actively maintained Magento store. Our Magento agency can give you a realistic figure once we understand your stack, traffic volume, and support requirements.
Magento 2 and Adobe Commerce remain the strongest platforms for mid-market and enterprise retailers with complex catalogues, B2B requirements, or multi-site architectures. For straightforward B2C with a standard catalogue, Shopify Plus is often the better choice. We work on both platforms and will give you an honest recommendation based on your actual requirements, not on which platform we prefer to build on.
Magento itself does not charge transaction fees. The payment gateway you integrate with your Magento store will apply its own transaction costs, which vary by provider, volume, and card type. We can advise on the most cost-effective payment setup for your expected transaction volume.
Yes. Before we take on any existing Magento store, we run a technical audit covering code quality, extension conflicts, security patch status, PHP version compatibility, and performance baselines. You get a written assessment of what the store needs before we quote for any work. There are no surprises about what you have inherited.

Book a Free Discovery CallWhat is Magento Development?
Magento development is the process of designing, building, customising and maintaining ecommerce websites using Magento or Adobe Commerce. It can include Magento store development, custom functionality, integrations, B2B ecommerce, frontend development, migrations, performance optimisation and ongoing support. A specialist Magento development agency helps businesses turn complex ecommerce requirements into a secure, scalable and manageable online store.
Your ecommerce platform needs to do more than just show products and accept payments. As the business grows, the store may need to accommodate larger catalogues, different customer types, many markets, sophisticated pricing, third-party systems, and processes that don’t match a typical ecommerce structure.
This is where Magento development helps. Magento enables organisations to scale into more sophisticated ecommerce requirements, while still maintaining control over the catalogue, customer experience, integrations and underlying architecture.
KiwiCommerce is a Magento development business focusing in Magento and Adobe Commerce. Supported by Adobe Commerce-certified developers and Magento professionals, we’ve successfully implemented 250+ Magento projects across B2B, B2C and other ecommerce models since 2016.
If you are launching a new Magento store, upgrading an existing website or seeking a long-term Magento development partner, the correct solution starts with understanding what your business actually requires from the platform.
Magento is ideal for ecommerce companies who have outgrown basic platforms or want to have greater control over how their store functions.
A Magento ecommerce website can be developed around requirements such as:
The value of Magento is not simply the number of features available. It is the control developers have over how those features work together.
For example, a manufacturer selling to trade clients may need business accounts, negotiated pricing and approval protocols, but a D2C retailer may need a wider catalogue, advanced filtering and a speedier mobile buying journey. Both can utilise Magento but architecture and development strategy will be extremely different .
That’s why the process in Magento site building should be organised around the business and not with a collection of pre-formed features.
Magento development services cover the work involved in building, extending, improving and maintaining Magento and Adobe Commerce websites.
The scope can be a complete build of an ecommerce website or a specific development job on an existing business.
Custom Magento 2 development is useful when your business has requirements that cannot be handled effectively through standard configuration or an existing extension.
This may involve custom modules, product functionality, customer workflows, pricing logic, checkout features or other business-specific functionality.
A good development team shouldn’t customise Magento because they can. Before writing new code, it is worth determining whether the requirement can be fulfilled using native functionality or an established extension. Custom development should answer a real business problem and also keep the store manageable.
Magento website design is more than a professionally designed shopfront. The catalogue structure, product attributes, customer accounts, checkout, search, integrations and administrative procedures all have to function in harmony. Hence, the choices made in Magento ecommerce development have an impact on the client and the people running the site.
For a growing firm this could translate into building a catalogue structure that can handle thousands of products without becoming unmanageable. In a B2B organization this could involve creating purchase routines around company accounts and customer-specific pricing. The change should make it easier to operate the website as well as shop on it.
B2B ecommerce rarely follows the same buying journey as consumer retail.
Customers may need company accounts, numerous buyers, approval processes, negotiated pricing, purchase orders, credit limitations, recurring orders or access to a range of products, depending on their account.
Magento and Adobe Commerce can facilitate these more complex buying models but the installation has to be aligned with your sales and operational teams’ existing way of working.
KiwiCommerce provides B2B Magento development for businesses that need ecommerce functionality built around more complex commercial relationships.
Your Magento store can be the center of a much broader technology ecosystem.
The product data may be from a PIM. ERP can be used to track stock and orders. Customer information may be in a CRM, and payment, shipping, fulfilment, and marketing systems all need access to important ecommerce data.
Magento API development enables these systems to communicate without creating any unwanted manual labour for your team. The key is not simply establishing an API connection. When designing an integration, data mapping, authentication, synchronisation, error management, and the impact of unsuccessful transactions all need to be considered.
KiwiCommerce works on Magento development and integrations where ecommerce needs to connect reliably with other business systems.
Extensions can offer important features to a Magento store, but installing too many third-party modules can make an ecommerce website tougher to operate. Custom Magento extension development is a more regulated approach when an existing extension does not match a certain requirement.
The focus should be on clean code, compatibility and maintainability, not on increasing functionality for its own sake.
Some ecommerce organisations require greater flexibility over the frontend than a conventional Magento theme gives.
Headless Magento development decouples the front-end experience from the Magento back-end so businesses can use another front-end technology and yet rely on Magento for ecommerce capabilities.
PWA development can also be used to make shopping experiences more similar to apps across devices. It can be advantageous for enterprises with specialised performance, experience or omnichannel requirements, but it also adds technological considerations. Headless should be selected because it fulfils a real business or technical demand, not just because it is a newer technology.
Magento performance is all about the entire ecommerce stack. Hosting, code, database queries, extensions, third party scripts, cache, pictures, search, frontend architecture all affect the experience clients receive.
This is why Magento performance optimisation must start with identifying the root cause of the problem, not applying generic speed improvements.
The frontend is another element of the equation. Hyvä offers a new frontend approach to Magento and might be chosen when a company seeks to shift away from the standard Luma-based shopfront.
KiwiCommerce is an official Hyvä Bronze Partner and provides Hyvä theme development for Magento stores that need a modern, performance-focused frontend. For an existing store, a Magento code audit can also help identify technical debt, inefficient code, extension conflicts and other issues before further development is planned.
Magento development is more than simply creating new ecommerce sites.
As businesses grow and develop, they may need to transition to a newer version of Magento, switch from a different e-commerce platform, get rid of old functionality or reconfigure portions of the site.
Magento migration is more than simply transferring products from one database to another. Depending on the project, great data can be items, categories, customers, orders, attributes, URLs, media, and other business information.
You will also need to investigate custom features and third party integrations as an old store may rely on code that is not compatible with the new environment. For businesses moving from another ecommerce platform, Magento migration services can provide a structured route to the new platform while keeping SEO, data and operational requirements in consideration.
A Magento store is rarely finished when it goes live.
New products are added. Integrations change. Magento versions evolve. Customers expect faster experiences. Marketing teams request new functionality. Technical issues appear as the store and its traffic grow.
This is why ongoing development and Magento support can be just as important as the original build.
KiwiCommerce supports 100+ live stores through active retainers, providing businesses with continued access to Magento development, technical support and improvements after launch. For an established ecommerce business, this can be more useful than treating development as a one-off project. The same technical understanding can continue across improvements, troubleshooting, performance work and new functionality.
Not every Magento development company will be suited to the same type of ecommerce project. A business with a large B2B catalogue, several integrations and multiple markets needs a different level of Magento expertise from a retailer launching its first online store.
Before choosing a Magento agency, consider:
It is also worth looking beyond the sales team. The people responsible for architecture and development will ultimately determine how well the Magento website performs and how easy it is to maintain.
Magento is a platform where specialist knowledge matters. Developers need to understand its architecture, modules, extensions, data structures and development practices rather than simply knowing how to build a website.
KiwiCommerce has Adobe Commerce-certified Magento developers and Magento specialist expertise within its team. The company is an Adobe Commerce Gold Solution Partner, while its Magento credentials include certified professionals and masters.
This experience is particularly useful when a project involves existing custom code, complicated integrations or functionality that needs to work with the underlying Magento architecture. For businesses that need additional technical capacity rather than a complete project team, KiwiCommerce also provides the option to hire a Magento developer for dedicated development requirements.
Magento is not the only platform available for ecommerce, and it is not automatically the right choice for every business.
Shopify can be attractive for businesses that prioritise a simpler managed platform. WooCommerce can work well for businesses already invested in WordPress. Magento becomes more compelling when the ecommerce operation requires greater control over catalogue structures, customer groups, pricing, integrations, multiple stores or custom business logic.
The decision should therefore be based on the requirements of the business rather than which platform has the longest feature list. For businesses considering a replatforming project, it is useful to compare the current platform against future requirements before deciding whether Magento development is the right investment.
KiwiCommerce combines competence in Magento development with the broader skills needed to run a modern ecommerce website. Since 2016, we’ve delivered 250+ Magento solutions for a variety of ecommerce formats. The company’s Magento specialists include Adobe Commerce-certified professionals and masters, and it is an Adobe Commerce Gold Solution Partner and an official Hyvä Bronze Partner.
The team also has over 100 live businesses under active retainer, offering KiwiCommerce experience in the reality of sustaining and developing ecommerce platforms post launch.
Whether you need Magento 2 development, B2B ecommerce, custom functionality, integrations, a Hyvä shopfront, migration, performance work or ongoing Magento support, the goal is the same: build a Magento store that works for the business behind it and the customer shopping on it.
