What we do

PixelCrayons builds, upgrades and rescues Magento and Adobe Commerce stores, for enterprise catalogues and B2B commerce. Our senior team keeps large catalogues fast. We set up company accounts and contract pricing, and plan upgrades ahead. We'll tell you when Magento's running costs aren't worth it. We work directly for brands, and white-label (under your brand) for agencies.

  1. Enterprise catalogues that stay fastProduct data, indexing and caching set up for tens of thousands of products.
  2. B2B selling, set up properlyCompany accounts, negotiated price lists, quotes and purchase-order payment, set up around how you trade.
  3. Upgrades and security patches on scheduleSecurity patches on a schedule, and upgrades rehearsed on a test site with checkout checks.

Is Magento
worth the running costs?

Right for you if
  • Your catalogue runs to tens of thousands of products (SKUs)
  • You need B2B contracts with negotiated pricing and approval workflows
  • You're running multiple stores, languages or currencies from one install
Not the right fit if
  • You run a simple store selling direct to shoppers, where hosting and patching costs will outweigh the benefit
  • You haven't budgeted for serious hosting, licence fees and an ongoing engineering retainer
  • A managed platform like Shopify, or WooCommerce on WordPress, would sell just as well with less upkeep

In every engagement

What a Magento build
actually includes.

01

Enterprise catalogues that stay fast

Magento is built for catalogues too big for simpler platforms. Think tens of thousands of products, filtered navigation, configurable products, and several stores and currencies from one install. That scale only works when product data, indexing and caching are planned with care. Default settings won't do it. We design the catalogue first. We also watch the indexes and scheduled jobs (cron) as closely as the live store. A slow Magento store isn't a platform problem. It's unfinished work.

Every build
02

B2B selling, set up properly

These are the features that make Adobe Commerce worth it for wholesale and distribution. They include company accounts with buyer roles and approvals, and price lists for each contract. There are also quotes, saved order lists and payment by purchase order. We set them up around how your sales team really trades. Credit limits and account data connect to the systems that already manage them. So the store always matches the contract.

For B2B
03

Upgrades and security patches on schedule

Attackers often target Magento stores that miss security patches. Upgrades put off for years quietly turn into full platform rebuilds. We keep stores up to date with steady, routine work. We apply security patches on a schedule. We rehearse upgrades on a test site, with automated checks on checkout. We fix clashes between extensions before the live update. If you've inherited a store several versions behind, we'll map the real route up, including the cost.

Ongoing
04

Connected systems that stay in sync

Large Magento stores rarely work alone. Your business software (ERP), product data system (PIM), warehouse system, CRM and finance tools each hold part of the picture. We build and look after the connections between them, so stock, orders, prices and customer records match everywhere. If a sync fails, it waits in a queue and runs again. Nothing is quietly lost. With the connections right, your team stops typing data in twice and month-end gets much easier.

Every build
05

The full running cost, before you commit

Magento is powerful, and it costs more to run. You pay for serious hosting, Adobe Commerce licence fees and ongoing engineering. Managed platforms include much of that in their subscription. We show you those numbers before you commit. If your catalogue and processes don't need what only Magento offers, we'll recommend the cheaper platform. We'll also show you how we'd move you there. Your store should need the platform, not the other way round.

Before you build
How it starts

From NDA to
working software.

01
Start

Brief and a call

We sign an NDA and go through the store with you. We look at the version, patches, extensions, catalogue, integrations and what's causing problems. There's no charge for this stage.

02
Once the brief is complete

Itemised proposal

We confirm the date your proposal arrives. It lists catalogue work, B2B features, upgrade path and integrations, in what order and for how much.

03
Your decision

You sign off

You confirm the scope, the payment and the access we need. Nothing starts before this.

04
Typically 2 to 3 business days later

The team starts

Magento engineers set up version control for the code in your accounts, plus a test site and automated checks. They also map any upgrade or migration.

05
On the date in your proposal

First deliverable

We show you working software on the test site, on a call. It might be a patched install, a B2B feature or a practice upgrade. Then work runs in fixed blocks, each ending in a demo.

Inside Prism

Your engagement, week to week,
in one workspace.

Prism is the client workspace where your requests, approvals, tasks and weekly reviews live.

Some engagements include Prism, our client workspace, and your proposal says whether yours does. Where it does, your build runs in a workspace you log into: requests, approvals, the task list and the weekly review, beside the repository your team already owns.

  • 01

    Requests and approvals

    Every task has one owner and a date.

    Each decision recorded, with the expectation attached.

How we report it, in Prism

The store readiness checklist,
before launch day.

What you receive in month one

A commerce build is reported against a launch checklist agreed before the build starts. In the first month you receive the catalogue and data audit with every field mapped, the integration map covering payments, shipping, tax and stock, and the checkout test plan with the orders that must complete before go-live. The weekly review in Prism tracks the checklist, not the mood in the room.

  • 01Catalogue and data audit: products, variants, customers and orders, field by field
  • 02Integration map: payments, shipping, tax, stock and email, with owners
  • 03Checkout test plan: the orders, payment types and edge cases that must pass
  • 04Performance budget: page weight and response targets for key templates
  • 05Launch checklist: what must be true on the day, and who signs each line

Upgrade or rebuild

Patch, upgrade, rebuild
or move off Magento.

Where your store stands decides the work. First we check the version, patch level and extensions. Then we recommend one of these paths and show you what it costs.

Where the store standsWhat we doWhy
On a current version, but behind on patchesApply security patches on a scheduleAttackers often target Magento stores that miss patches.
Several versions behind, still supportedRehearse the upgrade on a test site with automated checks on checkout, pricing and integrations. Fix extension clashes there. Then run it at a planned time, with a tested way to roll backUpgrades put off for years quietly turn into full platform moves.
On an end-of-life versionA frank conversation first: upgrade or rebuildAt some point an upgrade becomes a rebuild. You should see the cost of each side by side.

What we will not do is patch a live store and hope.

Questions

Frequently
asked.

It's right when you need more than simpler tools offer. That might be tens of thousands of products, or B2B contracts with agreed pricing and approvals. It might be several stores, languages and currencies from one install. For most simple stores selling direct to shoppers, the hosting, patching and development costs outweigh the benefit. Shopify or WooCommerce sells as well with less upkeep. We build on all of them.

More than the licence fee suggests. Adobe Commerce has a licence fee, and open-source Magento has none. On top of that, a well-run Magento store needs serious hosting, scheduled patches and planned upgrades. It also needs extension upkeep and an engineering retainer. Managed platforms include most of that in their fee. We list the full total in the proposal. If your store doesn't need Magento, we say so before you spend.

Yes, and we keep the method steady and routine. We check the version, patch level and extensions. We rehearse the upgrade on a test site, with automated checks on checkout, pricing and integrations. Then we run it at a planned time, with a tested way to roll back. If your version is no longer supported, we talk frankly first. At some point an upgrade becomes a rebuild.

Both directions, with the same method. Before anything switches, we list and map products, categories, customers, past orders and every ranking page. Redirects go live with the launch. Nothing is switched off until the move is checked. The commerce case on this page wasn't a Magento build, but it followed the same map-first method.

Longer than lighter platforms, so we set the timeline for each project rather than quote one number. Once we have a complete brief, we confirm when your proposal arrives. Patch and rescue work takes weeks. A full B2B build or platform move takes months. If a date is at risk, we tell you early and offer options.

Yes. Magento skills are expensive to keep on staff, so many agencies use us instead of hiring. It's covered by an NDA. We don't approach the clients you introduce to us for direct business, through the work and for twelve months after the last assignment for that client ends, and it's written into the agreement.

The range

What it costs,
at the direct rate.

Fixed quotes for the build and for upgrades, plus the monthly engineering a well-run Magento store needs. Running costs are itemised before you commit, because the platform is costly to run.
