Magento Website Design
Already using Magento, or considering Magento for your next e-commerce website? iDigLocal provides Magento web design and development services for businesses that need a powerful, flexible e-commerce platform capable of supporting more complex requirements.
We have many years of experience working with Magento, covering everything from complete e-commerce website builds and custom theme development to bespoke modules, third-party integrations and Magento migrations.
Whether you need a new Magento store, improvements to an existing website or specialist development to solve a particular business requirement, we can help.
Not sure whether Magento is the right platform for your business? Take a look at our guide to choosing an e-commerce platform to compare Magento with other e-commerce systems we work with.
Magento Website Design
Magento is an extremely capable e-commerce platform, but its flexibility and extensive functionality also make it considerably more complex than many alternative e-commerce systems.
Our Magento web design and development service combines the technical knowledge required to work with Magento with a practical understanding of e-commerce.
We can customise and brand an existing Magento theme or design and develop a bespoke Magento theme tailored to your business, products and customers.
Our Magento website services can include:
- Magento website design and development
- Bespoke Magento theme development
- Existing theme customisation
- Responsive and mobile-friendly design
- Magento catalogue and product configuration
- Checkout and customer account customisation
- Payment and shipping integrations
- Performance optimisation
- Magento upgrades and maintenance
- Custom functionality and integrations
The result is a Magento store designed around your business rather than forcing your business processes to fit an off-the-shelf website.
Magento Hosting & Server Requirements
Magento has significantly greater hosting requirements than many smaller e-commerce platforms. Choosing the right server environment is therefore an important part of planning a Magento website.
Modern Magento installations require an appropriately configured hosting environment capable of supporting technologies such as OpenSearch alongside the web server, database, PHP and caching services.
For this reason, basic shared hosting is generally unsuitable for a production Magento store and we would recommend our dedicated cloud hosting server plans.
We can provide an appropriately configured hosting environment for your Magento website or advise you on the server resources and software required if you prefer to use your own hosting provider.
We can also help configure and optimise the server environment to improve Magento performance, reliability and security.
Custom Magento Module Development
Magento includes an extensive range of e-commerce functionality, but every business operates differently. There will inevitably be occasions when an off-the-shelf extension cannot provide exactly the functionality or workflow you require.
Where a suitable extension is available, it can often provide the most cost-effective solution. Where it isn’t, iDigLocal can develop bespoke Magento modules specifically for your business.
Custom Magento development can range from relatively small additions to complex integrations and business automation.
- Custom Magento blocks and Page Builder content
- Bespoke product attributes and product functionality
- Custom product import and export processes
- Automated data feeds
- CRM and ERP integrations
- Supplier and stock feeds
- Custom shipping and pricing logic
- Order processing and fulfilment workflows
- Third-party API integrations
- Administrative tools and workflow improvements
Magento Integrations & Business Automation
A Magento website does not have to operate as an isolated system.
We can develop integrations that allow Magento to exchange information with other systems used by your business. This might include synchronising products with a supplier feed, updating your accounting platform, transferring orders to an ERP or fulfilment platform, updating stock information from an external system or sending customer and order information to a CRM.
Where repetitive administration can be automated, a custom Magento integration can reduce manual data entry, improve accuracy and make managing a growing e-commerce operation considerably easier.
Magento Migration & Upgrades
Running an old or unsupported Magento installation can create significant security, compatibility and performance problems.
Unfortunately, upgrading Magento is not always as simple as installing the latest version. The greater the difference between versions — and the more customised the original website — the more involved the migration can become.
iDigLocal can help migrate existing Magento websites to a current supported release while preserving the important data and functionality your business relies upon.
Custom modules require particular attention during a migration. Database structures, APIs, dependencies and Magento development practices can change significantly between releases.
Where required, we can adapt the migration process to transform existing custom data into the structure required by the new installation.
Updating Legacy Magento Code
Data is only one part of a Magento migration.
Existing themes, modules and integrations may contain code that is no longer compatible with a current Magento release or with newer versions of PHP and other components within the Magento technology stack.
We can review existing custom functionality, identify what can be retained and update or rebuild legacy Magento code where necessary.
This also provides an opportunity to remove functionality that is no longer required, replace outdated extensions and improve the maintainability of the new website.
Magento Support & Development
Magento websites rarely stand still. Products change, businesses introduce new processes, third-party services change their APIs and new functionality becomes necessary.
We can provide ongoing Magento development and technical support for existing stores as well as complete new website projects.

Why Choose iDigLocal for Magento Development?
Magento is a powerful e-commerce platform, but getting the most from it requires more than simply knowing how to install and configure it. Effective Magento development requires an understanding of the platform itself, the server environment it runs on and the wider business processes your e-commerce website needs to support.
At iDIgLocal, we have many years of hands-on experience working with Magento websites, from day-to-day development and troubleshooting through to bespoke modules, complex integrations and migrations between Magento versions.
We approach Magento projects from both a technical and practical e-commerce perspective. That means looking not only at what can be developed, but at the most appropriate way to achieve it.
Where an established Magento extension already provides the functionality you need, we can help identify and implement it. Where an off-the-shelf solution isn’t suitable, we can design and develop custom functionality around your requirements.
Because we work across the complete Magento environment, we can also investigate problems that do not sit neatly within the website itself. Performance problems, failed integrations, server configuration, PHP compatibility, search services, database issues and third-party extensions can all affect how a Magento store operates.
Most importantly, our aim is to build solutions that work for the way your business operates. Whether that means developing a completely new Magento store, extending an existing installation or solving a specific technical problem, we can provide the Magento development expertise needed to move the project forward.
