What is Magento

Magento is a feature-rich, professional open-source ecommerce solution that offers merchants complete flexibility and control over the look, content, and functionality of their online store. Magento’s powerful marketing, search engine optimization and catalog-management tools give merchants the power to create ecommerce sites that are tailored to their unique business needs.

Magento comes in three different packages: Community, Professional and Enterprise Editions. We work with all 3 and will suggest which option is best fitted to your organisation. Whilst the Community Edition is free to download it does have limitations. The Professional and Enterprise Editions have more features but do require a yearly license fee.

Magento Community Edition

For expert developers and technical enthusiasts in non-mission critical environments. Intended for those with the time and resources needed to solve issues independently.


Magento Professional Edition

For small businesses working with a Magento Solution partner and requiring a warranted product and additional revenue-generating features not found in Magento Community.
Starts at $2,995 USD/yr


Magento Enterprise Edition

For businesses of all sizes looking for a production-ready, enterprise ecommerce solution without any upfront license fees. Fully supported by the Magento Team.
Starts at $12,990 USD/yr
