Integration lanes into the store

Large catalogues rarely live in Magento alone. Each lane is a connection I plan, build or review, with a clear owner for every field.

When I would not recommend Magento

  • Fewer than a few thousand products and no B2B needs: Shopify or WooCommerce will cost far less to run.
  • No budget for proper hosting and regular maintenance. Magento rewards care and punishes neglect.
  • You need a full in-house platform team on day one. I can be part of it, but I will not pretend to be all of it.

Questions about Magento

Magento Open Source or Adobe Commerce?

Open Source is free to license and covers most stores, including large catalogues, if it is hosted and maintained well. Adobe Commerce adds licensed B2B features, managed cloud hosting and vendor support, and suits companies that want a vendor contract. I help you weigh the licence against the features you would really use.

Can you upgrade my old Magento 2 store?

Usually, yes. I audit extensions, custom code and the theme against the target version, upgrade on a staging copy, fix what breaks, and release with a rollback plan. Very old or heavily customised stores sometimes cost less to migrate than to upgrade; I will tell you which after the audit.

How do you keep Magento fast?

With Varnish full-page caching, Redis for cache and sessions, a tuned search engine, production mode with compiled code, optimised images and a server sized for peak traffic. Then I watch the slowest pages and database queries, because large catalogues usually slow down in a few specific places.
