While evaluating Magento developers, shop owners must take all of their business requirements into consideration: Why is a Magento developer required? What will the Magento developer be asked to accomplish?

With roughly 200,000 eCommerce shops using its platform, Magento has established itself as one of the most popular and most powerful ecommerce solutions in the industry. Due to this fact, shop owners are investigating Magento now more than ever before. One of the most important questions (and the one with the most complicated answer) is ‘how will my shop migrate from the legacy system to Magento?’.

Within engineering, there are often multiple solutions to the same problem. The most appropriate solution can depend on any number of factors: budget, deadline, the abilities of the engineer / firm, third parties that need to be involved, etc. Magento development is no different.

Magento Enterprise Edition (EE) is the premium version of Magento’s eCommerce platform and currently has an $18,000/year price tag. While EE is typically recommended for shops that have a high sales volume and/or a large product catalog, that price tag can become a burden quickly given the right series of events.

Most eCommerce shop owners would agree that many of their business decisions are made based on improving the customer experience. From the platform the site is developed on to the features that are added on top. The customer experience reigns on both ends of the spectrum. Magento Community Edition (CE) is a great framework for most small or medium-sized businesses, but larger shops often upgrade to Magento Enterprise Edition (EE). The main reason being: improve the customer experience even more.
