Magento Development Services That Upgrade, Customize, and Speed Up Stores
Magento earns its cost when the catalog is large and the pricing rules are complicated. Forbytes builds for exactly that case: custom modules, ERP and PIM integrations, and a store that stays fast as products multiply.
When You Need Magento Development
- Your store still runs on Magento 1 or an early Magento 2
- Extensions conflict and every update breaks something else
- Pages load slowly on busy days and checkout stalls out
- Product data gets entered by hand in more than one system
- Your previous agency left the customizations undocumented
- Licence, hosting, and extension costs keep climbing yearly
What You Can Achieve with Magento Development Services

| ERP, PIM, and WMS integrations | Stock, prices, and product data stay in sync everywhere |

Magento Work That Survives the Next Upgrade
Custom code goes into modules, never into core files, so upgrades stay a routine task.
Every extension gets justified against a native feature before it enters your codebase.
The audit, the module list, and the deployment steps are documented and handed over.

That is usually enough to say what is holding the store back. We’ll come back with the risks we see and what an upgrade or rebuild would involve.
FAQ
What do Magento development services include?
The work covers new store builds, migration from Magento 1 or another platform, version upgrades, theme and frontend development, custom module development, extension audits and replacement, ERP, PIM, and WMS integration, catalog and customer data migration, performance tuning, and ongoing support. Where the platform decision itself is still open, e-commerce consulting runs first as a separate engagement.
Should we stay on Magento or move to something else?
Magento earns its cost when your catalog is large, your pricing or B2B rules are complex, and you need control over the checkout. It stops being worth it when your store is essentially a template with a small catalog, since licence, hosting, and maintenance then buy you flexibility you never use. The audit compares your current running costs against both options before anyone commits.
We are still on Magento 1. What are our options?
Magento 1 stopped receiving security patches in 2020, so payment providers and insurers increasingly treat it as a liability. Practical routes are three: migrate to Magento 2, replatform elsewhere, or build custom. A Magento 1 to 2 move is a rebuild rather than an upgrade, because the codebase differs, so we scope it as a project with catalog and customer data migration included.
Can you take over a Magento store another agency built?
Yes, and it is a large share of our commerce work. We start with a code, extension, and performance audit that reports on technical debt, security exposure, and which customizations are safe to keep. Then we agree what gets fixed before new features start. An undocumented store adds a handover period, and we scope that separately instead of hiding it inside an optimistic estimate.
Do you provide hosting and ongoing support?
We set up and manage the infrastructure on Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud, including the deployment pipeline, monitoring, and backups. Support runs on an agreed model that covers security patches, version updates, bug fixes, and reserved capacity for new features. During your peak weeks, releases pause by default and an engineer familiar with your setup stays on call.
