Magento 2 Development Toronto — Enterprise Ecommerce Built to Perform
Magento 2 is powerful and complex. Getting it right requires engineers who understand the framework deeply — not developers who learned it from tutorials. We've built Magento 2 platforms for international brands, B2B distributors, and retailers with complex product catalogues.
Every layer of Magento 2 — built correctly
From custom module development to full platform builds, from performance remediation to ERP integration — we work across every layer of the Magento stack.
Custom Module Development
Proper Magento 2 module architecture: service contracts, repositories, API interfaces, dependency injection, and unit tests. Code that survives upgrades.
Theme Development & Frontend
Custom Magento themes with Knockout.js, RequireJS, and proper Less/CSS architecture. Or a decoupled React/Next.js frontend via headless API.
Adobe Commerce B2B
Company accounts, shared catalogues, negotiated pricing, purchase order workflows, and requisition lists. The full B2B feature set configured correctly.
Third-party Extension Integration
Payment gateways, shipping carriers, ERP connectors, marketing automation, and search extensions — integrated properly, not just installed and hoped for.
Magento Performance Optimization
Blackfire profiling, database query optimization, Varnish configuration, image optimization, and JavaScript bundling. We diagnose what's actually slow and fix it.
Magento 1 to Magento 2 Migration
Data migration, extension audit and replacement, custom functionality rebuild, and a phased cutover plan that minimizes downtime and business disruption.
The Magento stack we use
What kind of Magento work do you need?
New builds
Starting a new Magento 2 or Adobe Commerce project
We architect the platform correctly from the start — proper module structure, scalable deployment, and integration architecture that won't need to be rebuilt when you grow.
Existing sites
Your Magento 2 site has problems that need solving
Performance, broken extensions, upgrade blockers, or technical debt from a previous developer. We audit first, then fix what actually matters.
Migration
Moving from Magento 1, Shopify, or another platform
Data migration is the risky part. We plan the migration carefully: catalogue, customer data, order history, SEO URLs, and a parallel testing period before cutover.
Frequently asked questions
Is Magento 2 still worth building on in 2026?
Yes for the right use case. Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce) is still the right choice for complex B2B commerce, large catalogues, heavy customization, and businesses that need to own their platform. Where it's wrong: simple DTC brands that don't need customization, or teams that can't support a PHP developer.
How do you handle Magento upgrades?
We write modules that follow Magento's service contract and extension point patterns, which makes upgrades significantly less painful. We also maintain an upgrade testing process: spin up a copy, apply the upgrade, test critical paths, fix what breaks.
What's causing our Magento site to be slow?
The most common culprits: unindexed database queries from poorly written custom code, missing Varnish configuration, unoptimized Elasticsearch, full-page cache not working correctly, or frontend JavaScript blocking render. We profile with Blackfire to find the actual bottleneck, not guess.
Can you build a headless Magento frontend?
Yes. We use Magento as the commerce backend (catalogue, cart, checkout, order management) and a Next.js or React frontend via GraphQL API. You get Magento's commerce capabilities with a completely custom frontend.
How long does a Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration take?
For a standard Magento 1 site with moderate customization: 4–6 months. For heavily customized sites with lots of custom extensions: 6–12 months. The data migration itself is usually straightforward; it's the custom functionality audit and rebuild that takes time.
Do you provide ongoing Magento support?
Yes. Magento requires ongoing attention: security patches, extension updates, performance monitoring, and feature development. We offer monthly retainers for teams that need a reliable Magento partner.
