From soon-to-be-sunset Magento 1 (Magento Community and Magento Enterprise) to the latest and greatest from Magento 2 (Magento Open Source and Magento Commerce), the eCommerce giant is the world’s most trusted open-source platform for online retailers.
Offering limitless flexibility, a feature-rich ecosystem, and enterprise-level capabilities, Magento has the power to be any business’ best sales tool.
As a Magento 2 Certified Solution Partner, our agency develops completely customized websites for B2B and B2C audiences. No matter how big your business or how many products you sell, we build every website from scratch, creating a custom theme that’s designed exclusively for your online store.
Implement omnichannel sales strategies, prepare for global expansion, or set up a mobile retail store. Wherever your business is taking you, our Magento development services can help you get there.
Magento is an open-source website platform designed for eCommerce applications. In fact, it’s the most popular eCommerce platform in the world, powering more than 250,000 merchants.
The platform enables businesses of any size to have full control and flexibility over their online store, while also offering content management system capabilities. Magento is feature-rich and able to integrate with thousands of applications for maximum scalability and customization.
Vital is the only Magento 2 Certified Solution Partner with a New Hampshire location! 
Whether you need to migrate from Magento 1 to Magento 2 or are welcoming a brand-new Magento website into your business, we’ve got you covered.
Here’s what you can expect from our Magento web development services:
The following Magento websites were fully planned, designed, and developed by the Vital team:
Since we custom develop literally everything, your Magento website won’t need to rely on plugins or third-party codes that require constant updates and maintenance.
In instances where plugins are necessary, we have a strict maintenance process in place to keep them up to date and secure. If exploits are found, our solid plan guarantees that we can find and fix them quickly and easily.
The Magento 2 update has made significant improvements to its security and site speed capabilities. If you’re still running on Magento 1, you should contact us.
Out of the box, Magento is equipped with a foundation for search engine optimization (SEO). But to rank high in search results — especially in a competitive eCommerce field — you need more than just the basics.
For SEO, the best place to start is the beginning. Our SEO strategists specialize in planning and development tactics to enhance your eCommerce website’s ranking potential. This mission begins as soon as your project kicks off with a thorough planning phase that includes:
From there, our team of designers, developers, copywriters, strategists, and project managers pull from their extensive SEO backgrounds to plan, write, design, and code to our high standards of SEO excellence.
Once your Magento website is up and running, our digital marketing program is ready to help you conquer the ever-changing digital world. With constant reporting and analyses, we’ll create a strategically customized 12-month plan to increase your leads, improve your search engine results rankings, boost conversion rates, and more.
All Magento websites that pass through Vital’s doors are built with the essentials of accessibility and data privacy. The extent to which your website needs to be accessible can be customized however you need, and we make sure to abide by the rules of:

Q: Should I use Magento or WordPress with an eCommerce plugin?
A: The answer here will be on a case-by-case basis. Magento is the most enterprise eCommerce solution out there, and it’s typically suggested for online stores with hundreds to thousands of products. However, 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 Magento could be a WordPress website with an eCommerce plugin like WooCommerce.
With that said, you should explore your options and contact a WordPress and Magento development agency (like Vital!) for a recommendation.
Q: How much does it cost for Vital to develop a Magento website?
A: The specifics will depend on the scope of your project. A 20-page website with 100 products for sale will have a different price than a 100-page website with thousands of products. We’ve worked on Magento website projects ranging from $50k to well above $250k, but it’s best to contact us for a custom quote.
Keep in mind that you may also need to purchase an annual licensing fee to use Magento, depending on which version you select.
Q: How much is a Magento license?
A: Magento Open Source is available as a free download while Magento Commerce requires a licensing fee that starts at $24,000 a year. The exact cost of the license will depend on your gross sales revenue.
Q: How long does it take to develop a Magento website?
A: Again, the time it takes from kickoff to launch will depend on the scope of your project. Magento web development projects typically take longer than non-eCommerce builds, due to the volume of products in the eCommerce application.
Q: What is the difference between Magento Commerce and Magento Open Source?
A: Both fall under the latest Magento 2 platform. Magento Commerce — the artist formerly known as Magento Enterprise Edition — is available under a commercial license and requires an annual subscription fee. This version of Magento 2 offers premium-level support and long list of enterprise-level functions and features.
Magento Open Source was once called Magento Community Edition, and is available for free. Although it doesn’t include modules that come with Commerce, Open Source is still a feature-rich option — all you need is the right infrastructure and development team to make it work!
Our team of Magento-obsessed designers and developers can’t wait to talk to you about your website.
