The situation

Two established Magento stores needed continuing technical work around a live ecommerce operation doing more than €100,000 per month.

At that stage, “web development” is not a sequence of isolated page changes. The storefront, supplier data, third-party services and day-to-day operational tools all affect whether the business can sell and fulfil reliably.

The work

My work across the stores included:

  • custom Magento functionality;
  • supplier connections and third-party API integrations;
  • performance improvements;
  • security work;
  • maintenance as Magento and connected systems changed;
  • internal and operational tooling around the stores.

It was the ordinary but consequential work behind mature ecommerce: understanding what already exists, changing it without casually breaking revenue flows and solving the integration problems that accumulate around a long-running platform.

The outcome

Both stores kept operating while their functionality and connected systems evolved.

The scale matters, but so does the duration. Ongoing access to a production ecommerce codebase is earned by making useful changes, responding when the surrounding systems shift and treating commercial continuity as part of the engineering job.

Tell me what the store runs on, what the team cannot get to and what is commercially at risk. A defined integration or backlog item is enough to start.
