Migration to Magento

Magento is the most feature-rich and powerful open-source ecommerce platform, and many online store owners would benefit from having their stores on Magento instead of their old shopping carts (OsCommerce, VirtueMart, XCart etc.). Another case is when people start with a simple hosted e-commerce solution (Shopify, Wix, Volusion etc.) and after growing bigger realize that they want something custom, tailored for their needs. Also there are many webshops made on proptietary platforms or outdated technologies, which can be too expensive to support/modify due to lack of technology experts – Magento can be a great solution to switch to, because there is a big community of coders who can always help. We have a lot of experience with migrating the existing solutions to Magento with all data, with old design or completely new one, from all kinds of platforms, with any level of complexity. we will evaluate your old system and migration complexity.

Yesterday everyone used laptop/desktop to access your website. Today half of your visitors come from tablets and smartphones. Tomorrow the majority of internet users will use mobile devices to browse sites and to BUY something online. They need a mobile friendly interface with convenient navigation and nice design, otherwise they will buy from your competitor. The best solution for such situation is responsive design – the site adjusts to different screen sizes/resolutions – on IPhone, IPad, Android, laptop, desktop the site looks good. You can see how responsive design works on example of our site – just resize the browser window – the design adjusts for smaller resolution.

Custom Web Development

Even though most of projects (over 500) our company has delivered during last 8 years were Magento based we have also worked of numerous custom web projects, such as online marketplaces and custom e-commerce applications, online directories and portals, CRM and business automation applications, online auctions and site builders, social networks and SaaS (cloud) applications. So why would anyone develop a custom solution if there are hundreds of content management systems(CMS) and online tools for DIY web sites? Usually the reasons are as following:
The platforms that we are currently working on are listed below:
• Evolving requirements Typical situation for most of startups – market situation, investors, competitors, co-founders constantly bring new ideas, opportunities or challenges and the vision and correspondingly all requirements may change monthly, if not weekly, which make it impossible to select a development platform that meets all these requirements from the very beginning.
• Non-standard requirements Often e-commerce application is required to have some features that base platform(Magento) doesn’t have(e.g. non-standard product types, that standard product search and checkout cannot handle, or CRM features), so it turns out to be easier to make a custom site with some e-commerce features Magento has rather than customize Magento by rewriting half of its original functionality.
• Unique functionality Also often happens with startups, the features the clients want to have are provided by any of available CMS or frameworks isn’t provided by existing CMS and their components.

• Specific software architecture There might be requirements for certain scalability or performance or compatibility parameters the application has to meet, that there would be no other choice but create a unique architecture.
There might be hundreds of other arguments, but the bottom line is – sometimes you have to build a web application from scratch and we can help you with this.
Our technology stack includes Zend framework, Yii framework, AngularJS, Node.js, HTML5 and many more on demand

Magento Support


Magento Maintenance and Development
Magento tech support is tricky since Magento itself is a very sophisticated platform, and it is easy to make mistakes during website implementation and further development. Often, developers who create the site have/had insufficient qualification and do not follow coding guidelines (or even are not aware of them!). As a result, after several years of existence the site becomes nearly impossible to maintain or develop.
Some site owners prefer to re-create their sites from scratch (with data migration), some prefer to keep things as they are to avoid additional expenses, other people go with reengineering approach — all these methods have their cons and pros, and in each case the decision shall be made individually. However, each of the solutions is pretty expensive — in a short term or long term.

Multiseller Magento websites

Multiseller or multivendor website, also called a marketplace or C2C (customer-to-customer) solution, is a popular trend in modern e-commerce. The major difference between a marketplace and a regular (B2C) e-commerce site is that you don’t sell anything: you let other people sell their goods on your site. Like on eBay or Etsy. Depending on business model, marketplace site can charge merchants a fee per sale, or a monthly fee, or be free of charge.
Registration /membership can be open or private (by invitation), products can be listed directly by merchant or first approved by admin. Even though it’s not standard Magento functionality, there is a wide range of modern marketplace extensions that will turn Magento website into a multi-vendor site. Basically, Magento with a marketplace extension installed is a ready site itself. But in most cases it needs advanced setup and extra features added (coded), and our team has much experience with this sort of solutions.

Magento B2B websites

B2B ecommerce website (B2B stands for “business-to-business”) is similar to regular webstore to some extent, however by definition they are intended (and designed) to work with businesses, not with individual consumers, and mostly are used for wholesale operations or expensive complex goods and services.
As you could guess this sort of solutions can be done using Magento. The main Magento B2B features, aside of standard features Magento offers, are: limited access/registration on the site, customer groups with different permission levels and pricing policies, ability to make individual pricing for specific clients, easy ordering(without browsing the catalog), easy access/repeating of previous orders. Our team has done such solutions before, and we can help you with your ecommerce B2B solution too!
