What Is Adobe Commerce (Magento)
Adobe Commerce (Magento) is an intuitive, feature-rich eCommerce platform built on open-source technology. It empowers online merchants with unprecedented flexibility and control over the look, content, and functionality of their storefront. Whether you’re a startup with a few products or an established business with tens of thousands, Magento is the eCommerce-first platform that’s built to sell.
World’s #1 Commerce Platform 
Built for Ecommerce from the Start
Unmatched Flexibility
Open Source AdvantageWhere Magento Stands Today
Magento has grown in several ways since Adobe bought it in 2018. Here is what each one means for your store.
Adobe Commerce
Adobe Commerce is the paid version, hosted and maintained by Adobe with quarterly releases and security updates built in. It fits larger retailers that want an enterprise setup.
Magento Open Source
Magento Open Source is the free version. You host it and keep full control over how it is built.
Mage-OS
Mage-OS is a community fork of Magento 2 Open Source, built to move faster on fixes and improvements than the Adobe-managed version.
OpenMage LTS
OpenMage LTS is the community-maintained continuation of Magento 1. It keeps older stores running and receiving updates.
Still Running Magento 1? We Keep It Supported
If your store runs on Magento 1, there’s no need to panic or rebuild. The platform still works, and through OpenMage LTS, it still gets releases and security patches. What changed is third-party plugin support, which has thinned out, so new features call for a development team that knows the older codebase. That’s where Vital comes in.
Our Magento 1 support covers:
- Security patches and end-of-life support that keep your store safe and compliant
- Custom development for the features that off-the-shelf plugins no longer cover
- A clear path to Magento 2, Mage-OS, or Adobe Commerce whenever you decide the timing is right
Faster Magento Stores with Hyva
Fast stores sell more, and Hyva is how we make Magento fast. It is a modern front end for Magento that reaches PageSpeed scores in the 80 to 90+ range on mobile and desktop. Hyva went open source in late 2025, and paired with Mage-OS it puts a well-built, fast-loading Magento store within reach of mid-sized businesses that once found Magento too costly to build well. We build on Hyva when speed is a priority.

Adobe Commerce (Magento) Website Design & Development FAQs
Everything you need to know about working with Vital on a Magento website design and development project.
Q: Should I use Adobe Commerce (Magento) or WordPress with an eCommerce plugin?
A: It depends! Adobe Commerce (Magento) is the most enterprise-ready eCommerce solution out there, and it’s typically suggested for online stores with hundreds to thousands of products. However, Adobe Commerce (Magento)’s power lies in its ability to integrate with ERP tools and financial packages, and it’s also ideal for companies with very unique purchasing rules and regulations. An alternative to Adobe Commerce (Magento) could be a WordPress website with an eCommerce plugin like WooCommerce.
Q: How long does it take to develop a Adobe Commerce (Magento) website?
A: The time it takes from kickoff to launch will depend on the scope of your project. Adobe Commerce (Magento) web development projects typically take longer than non-eCommerce builds, due to the volume of products in the eCommerce application.
Q: Is it Magento or Adobe Commerce?
Both names are right. Adobe bought Magento in 2018 and renamed the paid, enterprise version Adobe Commerce. The free version is still called Magento Open Source, and people use “Magento” as shorthand for the whole family.
Q: Is Magento 1 dead?
Magento 1 stores still run, and the community project OpenMage LTS keeps them updated with releases and security patches. You are not forced to migrate, though you will need a development team for new features that older plugins no longer cover.
Q: What is OpenMage LTS?
OpenMage LTS is the community-maintained continuation of Magento 1. It picks up where Adobe left off so Magento 1 stores can keep running safely instead of rebuilding on a new platform.
Q: What is Mage-OS?
Mage-OS is a community fork of Magento 2 Open Source. A group of developers branched the open-source code to move faster on fixes and improvements, giving merchants an alternative to the Adobe-managed version.
Q: What is Adobe Commerce, and who is it for?
Adobe Commerce is the paid version of Magento 2. Adobe hosts it and manages the code and security and ships updates every quarter, which makes it a fit for larger retailers that want an enterprise setup with support built in.
