Magento Open Source or Adobe Commerce, which one fits?

Magento Open Source for catalogs under 50K SKUs and standard B2C flows. Adobe Commerce for B2B company accounts, shared catalogs, quote workflows, Page Builder, ElasticSearch out of the box, and Adobe Sensei product recommendations.

Do your Magento engineers build with Hyvä Themes?

Yes. Hyvä Themes for fast front ends on Magento 2 without Knockout or RequireJS. Alpine.js and Tailwind, Lighthouse scores in the 90s, full checkout extension support via Hyvä Checkout, compatibility layers for legacy modules.

Do your Magento engineers handle Magento 1 to 2 migrations?

Yes. Data migration via the official Magento Migration Tool plus custom mapping for non-standard attributes. Theme rebuild on Hyvä or Luma, extension equivalents identified, phased cutover with 301 redirects to preserve SEO.

Can your Magento engineers build headless and PWA storefronts?

Yes. Magento PWA Studio (React), Vue Storefront, or a Next.js front end backed by the Magento GraphQL API. Persisted queries, ISR for category pages, offline support, app-shell architecture.

Can your Magento engineers integrate with our existing codebase?

Yes. Engineers join your existing repo, follow your code style, use your build, your CI, and your observability stack. No tool imposition, just added capacity.

How fast can a Magento engineer start on our project?

Most clients get a vetted 3-engineer shortlist in 5 business days, finish technical interviews by day 7, and have a Magento engineer pushing code by day 14. Fast-track placement in 48 hours if a bench match exists.

Who owns the code and IP?

You do. Source code is committed to your repository under your organisation account from day one. IP and copyright assignment is built into the standard SOW, no vendor lock-in.
