/OUR PHILOSOPHY/

Strong eCommerce isn't built on a pretty storefront. It's built on a reliable system.

A system that withstands growth, handles load, and adapts to market shifts. That's why StageM builds Magento platforms that become a foundation of speed and profit — not another line on the cost sheet. We've delivered 30+ projects since 2019 across the U.S., Canada, and EU. Most of our clients have been with us for 3+ years. Both numbers reflect the same thing: we build technology that supports growth, not technology that needs to be replaced when growth happens.

/OUR PROCESS/

A four-stage methodology refined across 70+ projects.

This is the same framework Vlad Kozak - CEO of STAGEM, presented at Magento Meet Ukraine 2025. We apply it to every store we touch — whether it's a new build, a migration, or a rescue project. The order matters more than the steps.

01

Audit & Strategy

We start with a structured technical audit covering version, performance, security, SEO, and code health. The output is a prioritized roadmap with honest cost estimates — yours regardless of whether you continue with us.

02

Stabilize & Foundation

For existing stores: stop the bleeding first. Caching, indexers, cron, security baseline. For new builds: set up the right foundation from day one — Redis, Varnish, OpenSearch, monitoring. Skipping this stage is how rescues fail.

03

Build, Migrate, Optimize

Custom development, Hyvä migrations, Shopify-to-Magento moves. URL preservation and SEO equity protection on every migration. CI/CD pipelines so deploys are predictable and downtime is minimal.

04

Maintain & Scale

After launch, the work continues. Quarterly audits, real-time monitoring, continuous Magento upgrades. This is where 3+ year partnerships happen — and where stores that started rescued become stores that lead their markets.

STAGEM team retreat in the Carpathian mountains

We're a team of Magento specialists who've been building eCommerce infrastructure for ambitious brands since 2018.

Long-term partnerships are our specialty — not because we lock clients in, but because the work compounds. The store you launch with us in year one is meaningfully better in year three.

Why Magento and not Shopify or another platform?

Magento (Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source) gives serious eCommerce brands what other platforms don't: full control over the data model, no platform tax on revenue, deep customization without compromise, and an ecosystem that supports complex B2B and multi-region operations. For ambitious brands with 10,000+ SKUs and growth plans, Magento is still the strongest foundation — and with Hyvä now free, the performance gap that pushed merchants to Shopify is gone.

What types of Magento projects do you work on?

We focus on Magento 2 — including new builds, Shopify-to-Magento migrations, Hyvä theme migrations, performance optimization, and long-term technical support. Our typical clients are mid-market eCommerce brands with complex catalogs and serious growth ambitions. We work across the U.S., Canada, and EU markets.

How long does a Magento project take?

Timelines depend on complexity. A typical Shopify-to-Magento migration runs 2-4 months for mid-market stores. Magento 1 to Magento 2 migrations are similar. Hyvä theme migrations on existing Magento 2 stores typically run 6-12 weeks. New custom Magento builds depend heavily on scope — we'll give you realistic timelines after the audit phase.

Do you work with Adobe Commerce or only Magento Open Source?

Both. We've delivered projects across both Adobe Commerce (formerly Magento Commerce) and Magento Open Source. The platform choice depends on your business needs — and the audit phase includes that decision.

Should we migrate to Hyvä Theme?

Hyvä became free in November 2025, which changed the math for most stores. Hyvä makes sense if your current Luma frontend is slow, you're planning a frontend redesign anyway, and you have ongoing development capacity. We've covered the full decision framework in our blog: Hyvä Goes Free: Should Your Magento Store Switch in 2026?

Can you rescue a struggling Magento store without a full rebuild?

Yes — and in 80% of cases, that's the right answer. Our four-stage reanimation framework covers stabilization, performance, conversion, and standards. We tell about 20% of clients to rebuild instead, when core has been heavily modified or the architecture is fundamentally wrong. Honest assessment first, then work that actually fits your situation.

Do you provide ongoing support after launch?

Most of our clients stay with us long-term — average partnership is 3+ years, longest active engagement is going on 6 years. Post-launch we offer monitoring, security patching, quarterly audits, Magento version upgrades, and continuous feature development. The relationship doesn't end at launch — that's when the most valuable work starts.

Can you integrate Magento with our ERP / CRM / POS systems?

Yes. We regularly connect Magento with SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, HubSpot, Salesforce, and custom systems through APIs and middleware. United Porte's setup includes real-time inventory sync across 19 showrooms via custom ERP integration — this kind of operational integration is a core part of how we build.

How do you ensure quality on large projects?

Structured QA process, staging environments, automated testing for critical paths, and CI/CD pipelines for predictable deployments. On long-running projects, we also run quarterly audits to catch issues before they become problems.
