Magento Development

What is Magento Development

Sophisticated yet seamless, Magento websites for eCommerce offer a customised professional look and feel for businesses with tiered offerings.

Magento development refers to building a custom solution or plugin for Magento’s open-source platform that will help solve a problem for a business. Magento 2 is a highly improved and optimised version of the Magento platform which has been ‘ sunsetted’ in June 2020. Magento is a powerful eCommerce platform development tool managed by Adobe. Magento has been enhanced with its latest version to help organisations and businesses create an engaging and shoppable experience. With the intention of boosting traffic and customer traction, Magento 2 offers users next-gen technology, a global partner ecosystem and a broad extensions marketplace to enable businesses to easily integrate and customise to the business requirements.

At Sharp Instincts, we use Magento for customers who are looking to create the ultimate eCommerce platform for their business or organisation, especially when they have a large number of products. Magento websites will work well when you have tiered pricing (e.g. retail, wholesale), want to focus on Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) or need a design and functionality framework that can be tailored and customised to suit your needs.

Why you should hire Magento Developers for
your Project?

Magento is popular

Magento is popular, primarily because of its ability to handle a large suite of products. At Sharp Instincts, we have built and developed a number of Magento websites. The platform is used by approximately 12% of all online stores globally and other key characteristics which make it a popular platform choice include its comprehensive tech features, breadth of customisation and depth of integration. Since it is an open source application, there is a growing community of Magento developers creating add-ons and extensions that can be used to enhance your business. Extensions often still require customisation, though, to tailor them to your business needs or requirements. If you want a feature that is not available, we can help develop it for you or customise an existing solution to ensure it is fit for purpose. For example, you might want to create a unique shopping experience, customise your abandon cart emails, allow users to see how much inventory is remaining of a product etc. With Magneto being an open-source platform, anything can be created to suit your business needs and requirements.

Of course, not all extensions that currently exist in the Magento 2 marketplace are favoured by all. Those that have positive reviews, download history and quality documentation can be utilised to support your new eCommerce platform without the additional development costs. This makes Magento 2 a versatile platform to build your eCommerce platform, providing flexibility for business growth, design and functionality.

Magento offers integrated solutions

It is important that your eCommerce platform speaks to your Point of Sale (POS) system, Warehouse Management system, freight or delivery partner and customer service system. Ideally, all systems need to connect to each other effectively to provide the best customer experience & operational efficiencies. If you have partnered with Magneto development team who are experts in integration, once a customer is looking to place an order for your product online, your eCommerce store back-end will manage a large part of this autonomously.

For example, prior to a purchase on your eCommerce store, your customer should be able to review your freight rates, understand how much inventory is available of their preferred product, learn exactly when the product will be delivered to their home and what are suitable products to partner with their potential purchase. From a business perspective, you should be made aware when your stock is running low, record the purchase in your accounting suite, generate relevant tax invoices to you and the customer as well as process the payment through your chosen gateway with no human interaction. Whether you operate a B2C or B2B organisation, you can complete all tasks seamlessly together with that latest business intelligence tools to facilitate reporting, activity monitoring and milestone reviews.

Magento and SEO optimisation?

Creating a web application with Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is important to help reach more people in a coordinated, targeted and strategic manner. Magento 2, in particular, supports SEO optimisation, and we know the methodology to help your business and products rank. SEO optimisation is the specialisation of enhancing code, using relevant content, minimising errors, removing faults, optimising pages and other techniques to improve both the quantity and quality of traffic to a web application. As part of our process, we will audit your current website or project and make recommendations to improve performance before we integrate or enhance your eCommerce platform.

eCommerce platforms or Magneto projects are never complete as there are always opportunities for improvement. A web application is a ‘living’ solution that needs to be maintained for it to operate effectively. We partner with you as your digital marketing expert to help enhance the reach and scale of your eCommerce platform. We develop a program of work that considers your holistic digital marketing strategy so that there is harmony and consistency in the approach. This will ensure that your eCommerce platform positively complements your website, improves your digital presence and helps you achieve the business’s goals and objectives.
