Building high-performance Magento commerce engines for Houston businesses, from implementation through engineering to business scale.
Recognition for digital transformation success stories delivered on the Magento platform.
Magento stores rarely fail with a bang. They get slower, gather workarounds, drift behind on patches and gradually stop serving the business they were built to support.

Magento Open Source 2.4.4, 2.4.5 and 2.4.6 are no longer supported, so a store on any of them has stopped receiving security patches.
Unlike Adobe Commerce, Magento Open Source has no extended-support fallback, and each 2.4.x line carries a three-year support window from its release. That leaves most merchants in one of three positions. A version review is also a good moment for a Houston store to examine its tax exemption certificates, ERP synchronization and the consent records Texas privacy law expects.
Support Timeline
Unsupported Today
Running 2.4.4, 2.4.5 or 2.4.6.
No new security patches. Every disclosed vulnerability stays open on your store permanently. This needs a plan now, not next quarter.
Supported But Ageing
Running 2.4.7, supported until mid-2028.
Enough runway to plan properly, and the right moment to combine the upgrade with a Hyvä frontend rather than running two projects.
Current Version
Running 2.4.8 or 2.4.9.
Released May 2026, with PHP 8.5 support and 560+ fixes. The work here is staying patched and getting more out of the platform.
We shape commerce architecture around business revenue goals and design mobile-first experiences that turn visitors into customers. A digital transformation roadmap supports every stage, from launch and upgrades to replatforming and growth.
Certified Magento expertise delivers tailored B2C, D2C and marketplace experiences. The code is clean, upgrade-ready and standards-compliant, so performance is reliable from day one while catalogs and traffic keep growing.
Complex B2B capabilities such as company accounts, negotiated pricing, quote management, credit controls, approval processes and bulk ordering are built on Magento's native features and purpose-built modules wherever Open Source falls short.
Upgrade paths run from any version to 2.4.8 or 2.4.9, and each is assessed for PHP compatibility, database compatibility, extension conflicts and theme regressions before any code moves. Most mid-sized upgrades take 4 to 8 weeks, while complex projects and Luma to Hyvä moves take longer, and we state the scope honestly upfront.
Magento 1, Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud and legacy custom stacks all migrate to Magento with no data loss, minimal downtime and SEO intact, backed by 50+ migrations across categories and regions.
Scalable iOS and Android commerce apps connect to your Magento backend and wider commerce ecosystem. They cover product discovery, personalized experiences, checkout, payments, order tracking and push notifications, keeping customers connected to your brand wherever they shop. React Native, native mobile technologies, APIs and GraphQL give the apps performance, scalability and room to evolve.
Hyvä has become the standard modern frontend for Magento. It replaces legacy Luma with Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js and routinely delivers product pages in under two seconds. We create Hyvä themes from scratch, migrate Luma storefronts and combine frontend work with version upgrades, leaving you one project instead of two.
We build custom modules, middleware and marketplace-grade extensions for capabilities Magento does not include, and PII Shield, our framework for database-layer encryption of customer data, is one of them. Each is reusable, secure, upgrade-safe, dependency-clean and documented, so a later version bump leaves it intact.
ERP, PIM, CRM, OMS, POS, payments and the wider commerce value chain are connected into one source of truth, so pricing, inventory, personalization and fulfillment run without gaps. Retry logic and error handling are built to hold under real load.
Because Magento Open Source is self-hosted, infrastructure falls to you, and we design, provision and operate it on AWS, GCP or bare metal using Varnish, Redis, OpenSearch, CDN, CI/CD, monitoring and auto-scaling. The hosting is SRE-grade, built for peak trading and cross-border and omnichannel scale, sized to your traffic with cloud spend under control.
Magento Open Source supplies the platform and not a support desk. We cover proactive patch management, security hardening, uptime monitoring, bug SLAs and continuous enhancement, keeping the store secure, current and improving, with locked capacity and follow-the-sun war rooms to prepare for peak season.
We find and remove conversion barriers like slow pages, unreliable tracking and checkout problems through CRO, analytics and rigorous quality testing, and PowerListing, our Magento performance accelerator, adds further gains in speed and conversion.
Customers increasingly discover products through search engines, AI Overviews, voice search, LLM platforms and answer engines, and we keep Magento stores visible across all of them. A connected MarTech ecosystem then carries shoppers through each stage of their journey.
We apply AI where it drives revenue in Magento, such as intelligent product discovery, UCP compliance, personalization and data-driven merchandising that follows customer behavior. Continuous real-time analytics let us optimize as opportunities appear and not wait for quarterly reviews.
Magento's open foundation allows us to engineer capabilities beyond the mainstream, and that is the advantage separating a store that runs from a store that sells.
Magento is engineered to perform efficiently at scale. Product listings run through Elasticsearch or OpenSearch in place of MySQL, supported by full page and Varnish caching, optimized images, CDN delivery and frontend performance budgets that hold from launch. Pages load 2 to 5x faster and the heaviest database workload disappears.
Magento encrypts payment credentials, but names, emails and addresses stay unencrypted in standard installations. Field-level encryption applied directly at the database layer leaves the storefront experience untouched. After a breach, compromised customer records remain encrypted and unreadable.
Discoverability is built into the store at the engineering level. Server-side rendering and pre-rendering expose content to search engines and AI agents, while structured data, clean hreflang implementation and optimized content support visibility in traditional search, AI Overviews and answer engines.
Our frontend work spans Hyvä themes, headless and PWA storefronts, Next.js and React interfaces, React Native applications and custom modules for functions Magento does not offer natively. Pages feel like an app, and the frontend can change without the backend being replaced.
Custom middleware and event-driven systems link Magento with ERP, PIM, CRM and OMS platforms. Retry mechanisms and error handling keep pricing, inventory and orders in sync under real-world traffic and not only during quiet periods.
Magento Open Source modules, written to stay clean and upgrade-safe, supply company account structures, contract pricing, quote-to-order processes, approval workflows, bulk ordering and tailored checkouts that the platform lacks natively.
Codilar has helped us to build a robust omnichannel ecommerce platform for Carter’s, HomesRus, Monsoon and OshKosh. The team at Codilar follows the latest development trends and highly focus on a customer centric approach which resonates well with our values.
Group Head of eCommerce
Codilar has been a game changer for Marina Home. Their deep understanding of our brand vision and technical expertise helped us build a fast, intuitive website and streamline our backend operations. We've seen significant improvements in customer experience, operational efficiency, and online sales since partnering with them.
Head of eCommerce
Being India's top jewellery ecommerce brand, we were struggling in scaling our ecommerce technology stack. With Codilar, we have been able to boost our Magento store performance and have our catalog and products listed in an optimized way. Codilar's services has been outstanding and I recommend them to all the other player in the market.
CEO
No matter the platform, version or condition, our Magento platform experts carry you to Magento 2 with data, rankings and trading days intact.
Magento 1 reached end of life in June 2020 and receives no security patches, so any store still on it needs a migration plan and not a maintenance plan. We migrate large catalogs, like EGC Supply's 500K+ SKUs, through a three-phase approach: data stabilisation, commerce feature expansion, and UX optimization. Targets were zero data loss, full SEO preservation and 50%+ performance gains, with timelines of 4 to 13 weeks depending on complexity.
This is the upgrade most merchants face right now. PHP compatibility, database compatibility, extension conflicts and theme regressions are assessed before work starts, and full regression testing follows. A store that is already being touched is the right place to move from Luma to Hyvä in the same project and avoid paying for two.
Native B2B depth, Live Search, managed cloud and vendor SLAs can justify the Adobe Commerce license, and in that case we manage the transition. It unlocks Page Builder, Fastly CDN, auto-scaling, managed Redis and OpenSearch and multi-source inventory on infrastructure Adobe supports directly.
Brands outgrowing SaaS limits on catalog complexity, B2B logic or customization move to a platform with room to scale. SEO and order history carry through, and the capabilities a hosted platform capped are re-engineered.
Brands leave BigCommerce once SaaS ceilings start to hurt, for example API limits that throttle integrations at peak, template constraints on checkout and per-storefront fees that multiply across brands. On Magento they gain unlimited customization, multi-store from one instance and full ownership of the stack.
Once catalog size, order volume or multi-store complexity exceeds what a WordPress plugin architecture can handle, we move you onto a commerce-first platform and bring data, customer history and search equity with you.
Pricing tied to revenue, plus separate B2C and B2B licenses, makes growth steadily costlier on Salesforce Commerce Cloud. Brands move to Magento because its platform costs do not climb with every sale.
We brought TGR Ventures' two Magento stores together into one instance with dedicated headless PWA frontends for each brand, supporting a 60GB+ database, 150+ customer groups, 11 currencies across 9 countries, two way Odoo ERP synchronization and 6 payment gateways.
Varied, outdated technology stacks become clean, composable Magento architectures. We also recover stalled projects and restore stores abandoned by other providers after extended downtime, serious performance problems or failed headless implementations.
Struggles with catalog complexity, transaction volumes, B2B requirements or enterprise integrations signal that WooCommerce is outgrown, and we migrate the store to Magento (Adobe Commerce) without disrupting the business. Products, customers, orders, SEO equity and critical commerce data are preserved, and the architecture is rebuilt for enterprise requirements such as advanced B2B capabilities, multi-store operations, integrations and scalable infrastructure.
Magento is powerful but unforgiving, and it demands full-time specialization that generalist providers cannot sustain. A store that falls short of the speed, modernity or stability the business needs has rarely suffered from lack of effort. The platform has simply exposed a gap, and closing it is our role. As a Magento consulting company, we partner with brands that believe their store can perform better and we make that happen, working beside the business teams who launched it.

These Codilar products were engineered around real commerce challenges and deliver proven improvements in experience, performance and scalability from day one.
An extension suite for Magento product listing pages, powered by OpenSearch and Elasticsearch. It removes MySQL from the rendering path, delivering listings 2 to 5 times faster and up to 80% infrastructure cost savings as your store scales.
PII Shield is a field-level PII encryption solution designed for the Magento ecosystem. Built on Libsodium, it encrypts customer names, emails, addresses and phone numbers across customers, orders, invoices and shipments, leaving checkout and admin workflows unaffected.
A SaaS-based cache-warming solution that keeps Magento pages ready in the cache before visitors arrive. It monitors and pre-warms pages automatically, cutting server response time from 5 seconds to 0.03 seconds with no changes to your Magento codebase.
A PWA accelerator that brings ScandiPWA, Vue Storefront and Magento PWA Studio together. It can reach 90+ Google PageSpeed scores and ready your Magento store for PWA deployment in two weeks.
Built on Magento, Hyza is a jewelry commerce platform with live gold price updates, virtual try-on, Try@Home, video cart, EMI payments, dynamic engraving, ERP integration and catalog management.
Any of these sound familiar? They are fixable, usually faster than you would expect.
Stores on 2.4.4, 2.4.5 or 2.4.6 no longer receive security patches, and Magento Open Source has no extended-support option. Every newly disclosed vulnerability stays open permanently, while PCI compliance and cyber insurance get harder to defend each quarter.
Pages that loaded fine at launch slow to a crawl as catalogs expand and traffic climbs. Poor Core Web Vitals, sluggish search, and checkout lag quietly erode conversion and rankings, exactly when growth should be lifting them.
Dependency conflicts, extension incompatibilities, and theme regressions have made previous upgrades painful enough that staying put felt rational. The longer that continues, the larger and riskier the eventual jump becomes.
Marketplace extension quality varies enormously. Overlapping modules, unmaintained vendors and core overrides create compatibility failures, security exposure, and upgrade blockers that surface at the worst moment.
ERP, PIM, CRM and OMS connections built as quick fixes turn brittle under load. Data falls out of sync, orders stall mid-transaction, and the systems meant to run the business start slowing it down.
Self-hosted means the hosting, scaling, backups, WAF and security baseline are yours. Unmonitored cloud setups quietly waste spend, and a single outage during peak trading can undo a year of growth.
Heavy customization by a single partner makes transitions difficult and raises operational risk. Undocumented code, closed repositories, and tribal knowledge turn a commercial decision into a technical hostage situation.
Talented internal teams get buried in tickets, patches and maintenance, with no capacity left for the roadmap that actually moves revenue. The store gets maintained, but it never grows.
We connect the Magento platform with the wider omnichannel technology landscape, so commerce, operations and customer experience move together as a single system.
Clients stay with us for over 5 years on average, because expertise runs deep, value keeps being created and service continues well past delivery.
Our 350+ engineers include 65+ certified developers and 40+ architects and tech leads, each with over 10 years of Magento experience. That certified depth enters every build and converts complex requirements into dependable solutions from the first day.
Ten years of implementation work, advanced engineering and complex solutioning across industries, categories and regions have made us a top tier Magento partner, and Adobe trusts our capabilities with some of its highest value clients.
Commerce is our sole focus, and Magento is not one capability among many. Eleven years of engineering on the platform inform our architecture, solutioning and development decisions.
We stretch Magento past its standard features to meet particular business needs, backed by our own commerce products. Clients gain more in performance, security and experience from these than from conventional extensions.
We are among the ecosystem's most recognized experts, with 4 Meet Magento Awards and 3 Adobe Experience Awards. Our contributions to the community include official meetups and the globally followed Magecafe channel, whose videos have reached more than 100,000 views.
Our founders bring strong technology backgrounds, deep Magento expertise and years in the ecosystem. That engineering mindset shapes all our work and gives brands the confidence to hand us their most difficult commerce requirements.
You keep access to repositories, cloud accounts, the Git environment, architecture documentation and recorded module walkthroughs. We also offer a contractual 30, 60 or 90-day exit commitment, with handover support for a successor partner where needed, because clients should stay by choice.
Regional teams offer business, solutioning and technical support where you operate, with 350+ engineers at our Bengaluru global capability center behind them. Throughout delivery your project team stays accessible, closely involved and accountable.
One accountable framework brings three capabilities together. Consulting sets the strategy, engineering lays the commerce foundation, and growth works on conversion, discovery and revenue.

BlogCertified Magento developers can work inside your organization as individual specialists, dedicated teams or an extension of your engineering function, and senior architects provide technical direction for the whole engagement.
Each developer we provide holds certified Magento expertise and has worked on complex commerce implementations. They specialize in commerce and do not treat Magento as one skill among many, so your team gains engineers who grasp real platform challenges and add value from the start.
Pick the expertise you need, whether one developer or a full team across backend, frontend, QA, DevOps and architecture. Principal architects and seasoned technical leaders guide the engagement, so you gain individual skill and the combined knowledge of an experienced Magento team.
Work with a dedicated developer, extend your existing team or engage a project-based delivery team to suit your requirements. Capacity scales up or down each quarter as your roadmap evolves, and region-aligned project managers with overlapping working hours keep delivery consistent and senior expertise involved.
Teams work efficiently and protect existing functionality by following established development practices, structured code reviews, staging-based releases and QA centered on critical revenue journeys such as checkout, search, cart and payments. Recognized delivery experience and client references are available under NDA, because the focus is measurable delivery and not empty assurances.
Our Magento engineers know the technologies reshaping modern commerce, among them AI-driven personalization, intelligent search and product recommendations that can lift engagement, loyalty and conversion. AI also speeds up their integration and development work, which helps your store keep pace as commerce changes.
A Magento development company helps businesses build, customize, improve and maintain eCommerce stores using the Magento platform. For Houston businesses, this can include store development, custom modules, third-party integrations, platform upgrades, performance optimization, hosting and ongoing maintenance. Codilar supports the complete commerce lifecycle, from architecture and development to migrations, performance improvements and continued growth after launch.
Magento Open Source continues to have supported releases, but support depends on the version running in your store. Older releases may have reached end-of-support, while newer versions receive updates according to their release lifecycle. Businesses in Houston should check their current version against official release and security documentation, then plan upgrades and patches accordingly. Codilar can assess your store's version, dependencies and technical condition to help determine the next steps.
Many Magento builds and migrations take three to six months, while smaller, clearly defined projects may be completed in six to eight weeks. A mid-sized version upgrade without a frontend change can take around four to eight weeks, whereas combining it with a Luma-to-Hyvä migration may extend the timeline. Large enterprise implementations involving complex catalogs, multiple integrations, ERP or PIM systems can take ten to twelve months. Codilar establishes a realistic timeline after a discovery phase based on your requirements and existing architecture.
Hyvä is worth considering if your Magento store uses the legacy Luma frontend and needs better frontend maintainability or performance. If a Magento version upgrade is already planned, combining both projects may reduce duplicated effort. Hyvä uses Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js to simplify frontend development, but the benefits depend on your existing theme, extensions, customisations and performance bottlenecks. Codilar assesses these factors before recommending a migration and validates expected improvements through testing.
Yes. Codilar begins with a technical audit covering code quality, patch status, extension conflicts, infrastructure, security, integrations and performance. Based on the findings, we identify what can be retained, what needs fixing and what may need rebuilding, along with the expected effort and cost. Our aim is to establish a clear improvement plan and work constructively with your internal team and existing stakeholders.
Both editions share the Magento codebase. Magento Open Source is free to use and self-hosted, giving businesses control over their store while making hosting, security patching and ongoing support their responsibility. Adobe Commerce is the commercial edition, offering additional capabilities that may include native B2B features, Live Search, Page Builder, managed cloud options and Adobe support agreements. Houston businesses can choose between them based on their technical resources, commerce requirements and support needs.
The cost of Magento development depends on project scope, catalog size, integrations, customization requirements, markets, languages and whether the work involves a new build, upgrade or migration. Codilar assesses these factors during discovery before preparing a proposal. Available engagement models include fixed-price projects, time-and-material, dedicated teams and managed services, depending on the work involved and the level of ongoing support required.
Yes. Magento can integrate with ERP systems such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite and Odoo, CRM platforms such as Salesforce and HubSpot, and product information management systems. Integrations can use REST and GraphQL APIs, webhooks, message queues and event-driven architecture. For Houston businesses managing complex product catalogues, distribution workflows or multiple sales channels, these integrations can help keep product, pricing, inventory, order and customer data consistent.
Launch is the beginning of ongoing platform management. Depending on your support agreement, Codilar can provide security patching, proactive monitoring, bug fixes, performance optimisation, SEO and conversion rate optimisation, and continued technical improvements. Houston businesses can also plan future enhancements around changing customer behaviour, operational needs and revenue goals so the store continues to develop after launch.
A specialist Magento development company can provide access to certified developers, solution architects, frontend and backend engineers, QA and DevOps expertise. This broader team can help manage complex integrations, reduce reliance on a single individual and maintain continuity as requirements change. For Houston businesses running revenue-critical commerce operations, specialist knowledge, structured quality processes and ongoing support can help reduce technical risk and keep development moving.
