The challenge

A Magento store that has been trading for years accumulates risk: security patches that must be applied without breaking a customised theme, extensions that drift out of compatibility, and performance that erodes as the catalogue and order history grow. The shop sells in two languages to a dozen countries and cannot afford downtime in the season.

What we built

Maintenance and support for the Magento 2 platform: security and version patching tested on a staging copy first, extension and theme compatibility work, performance tuning of indexing, caching and the database, bot protection and monitoring at the edge, and a response path for anything that breaks in production.

The outcome

A store the owners run with confidence: patched on a schedule, measured for speed, and with someone to call when something goes wrong.
