eCommerce Software Development Magento • OpenMage Specialist

For merchants already running on Magento 1, migrating is rarely the first priority. OpenMage LTS keeps the platform secure and modern - many stores run it on PHP 8.2 with full PCI compliance and performance that rivals newer platforms. My job is to make your existing investment work harder, not to push you toward a rewrite. That said, if migration genuinely makes sense for your situation, I'll tell you.

Yes. A typical new-store setup covers server provisioning, OpenMage LTS installation and hardening, theme development or integration, payment and shipping extensions, ERP/DATEV connectivity, and go-live support. I scope each setup individually - some clients need a lean catalog with Klarna and DHL, others need multi-store, B2B pricing tiers, and SAP integration. Tell me what you sell and who you sell to, and I'll give you a realistic scope.

That's a core part of my work. Typical projects include custom admin portals for order and customer management, B2B self-service platforms, internal tools built on PHP and modern JavaScript, and API integrations between your ecommerce system and external services (ERP, CRM, logistics). I build clean, maintainable applications - not throwaway scripts. If it runs on PHP/MySQL/Linux and connects to a business process, I can build it.

Both. I configure and maintain the full stack - Linux (Debian/Ubuntu), Nginx, Varnish, PHP-FPM, MySQL, Redis, Docker. For ecommerce especially, the boundary between application bug and infrastructure issue is blurry. Having one person who understands both means faster diagnosis, fewer round-trips between vendors, and better overall reliability.

Most engagements start with a scoping call. Smaller work (bug fixes, module adjustments, server issues) starts from €1,000 as a fixed package or hourly rate - delivery is usually within days. Larger projects get a written scope with milestones and a fixed or capped-hours price. Ongoing maintenance is available as a monthly retainer. I don't pad estimates or bill for project management overhead. You get a clear number before we start.

Practically like working with someone based in Germany. I operate in Central European time, communicate exclusively in native German, understand DATEV, Handelsrecht, and the way German B2B businesses work. My company in Georgia is a fully legal EU-compatible entity - invoices, contracts, and VAT handling work exactly as you'd expect from any German freelancer or agency.
