Takeover from an old agency

Admin bugs traced from the database, read-only
Magento 2, with Shopify on call
Magento consultant and developer. For the store your old agency left behind.
I'm a freelance Magento 2 consultant. I audit, fix and speed up stores: slow pages, broken categories and custom code nobody documented. $50 an hour, quoted before I start.

A B2B store on Magento 2.4, audited first, then fixed one change at a time.
A US B2B store on Magento Open Source 2.4 had stalled features and category pages sending shoppers away. I mapped the system read-only first, then shipped fixes one by one.
- of live changes shipped with a backup and undo
- 100%
- commit per change, so any fix can be undone
- 1
- Ran a read-only audit of code, database, server settings and live pages, with a screenshot for every finding
- Traced slow pages to their causes, including ad tracking links that skipped the full page cache and a site search that could hang until it timed out
- Found old SEO redirect rules in the database that were bouncing shoppers off live category pages, and switched them off with a full backup
- Rebuilt a stalled case study gallery: filters that never return an empty page, a filter panel that finally opens on phones, and Load More
- Built a B2B quote request form that checks each field as you go and passes WCAG AA contrast
- Fitted a third-party shopping assistant into the header, with a fallback that removes the button if its script fails
- Wrote a command line importer for a breadcrumb module that wiped its own data on every upload

Kaspian delivered exactly what was promised - fast, clean, and professional. He diagnosed the issues quickly, fixed everything on a duplicate theme without touching the live store, and even caught an additional issue outside of scope and resolved it proactively. Great communication throughout and turned it around in under 48 hours. Would absolutely work with him again.
Kas is a great freelancer. He's dependable, attention to detail orientated and a great communicator. He's available when you need him and he's someone who's trustworthy and hardworking. Thanks for the great work, Kas!

Magento support services I take on.
Each one comes from Magento 2.4 stores I've worked on, so you're hiring a Magento expert who has done it before. They're under NDA, so you get the work, not the names.
Magento technical audit
Code, database, extensions, cron, indexing, cache and the live pages, checked read-only before anyone changes anything. You get a ranked list with hours per fix.
Read-only first a screenshot for every finding
Fixes and new features
Theme templates, layout XML, LESS and RequireJS, plus forms, galleries and third-party integrations, built on a local copy and tested on staging.
Stalled gallery rebuilt working filters on phones
Speed and Core Web Vitals
Server response with and without cache, full page cache hit rate, third-party scripts and images. I measure first, so you don't pay for a bigger server you don't need.
Cache misses traced to tracking links on ads
Technical SEO for Magento
Redirect rules, canonicals, layered navigation URLs, category content and structured data, so Google crawls the pages that sell.
Category redirects fixed shoppers kept on the page
// fix, move or decide
Fix Magento, move to Shopify, or audit first?
I work on both platforms, so I don't need you to pick the one I sell. This is how I'd decide.
Complex catalog or B2B
Fix and keep Magento
Customer groups, custom pricing, ERP links and big catalogs are where Magento earns its keep. If that's you, the store usually needs fixing, not replacing.
What I fix on MagentoStandard store, heavy upkeep
Move to Shopify
If you sell a straightforward catalog and spend more on hosting, patches and developers than on growth, Shopify takes that work away. I map every old URL so Google follows you.

Audit first
If nobody can tell you why the store is slow or what the old agency changed, start with a read-only audit. It answers the stay or move question with numbers.
How an audit works// before you hire
What to ask any Magento developer before you hire. My answers.
Magento punishes guesswork. Ask these to anyone you're considering, me included.
- Can you show real Magento 2 work?
- Yes. This page lists Magento 2.4 fixes I've shipped. Client names stay under NDA, and on a call I'll walk you through how each one was done.
- Will you work on our live store?
- No. I run a local copy first, then staging, and the live store only changes with your approval.
- What if a change breaks something?
- Every live change ships with a backup and a one step undo, and every database change has its revert script saved next to it.
- Who owns the code?
- You do. It lives in your Git repository, one commit per change, with notes on what each custom module does.
- How will you find out why it's slow?
- I measure server response with and without cache and trace each slow page to its cause before recommending anything, including new hosting.
// how it works
How does a Magento audit work without breaking the store?
Your live store is never the test bench. Every change ships with a backup and a way back.

Magento consultant FAQ
My store is on Magento 2.4.6 or older. What should I do?
Upgrade or move: 2.4.6 left Adobe’s standard support on 11 August 2026, and Adobe Commerce licences get extended support only until 31 August 2027. I start with a read-only audit of your exact version, patch level, PHP version, extensions and custom modules, so you see what an upgrade to 2.4.9 (supported to 31 May 2029) really touches and can compare it with a move to Shopify before you pay for either.
How much does it cost to hire you as a Magento developer?
I charge $50 an hour and quote in hours before any work starts. Most stores start with a read-only audit, so the fixes are priced from evidence instead of guesses.
Why is my Magento store so slow?
Usually a mix of cache misses, heavy third-party scripts, unindexed data and extensions doing work on every page. In September 2026 only 44.6% of Magento sites passed all three Core Web Vitals on mobile, so you’re not alone, and it’s usually fixable without a rebuild.
Can you move my Magento store to Shopify?
Yes. I map every old URL to a 301 so Google follows you, and the move is quoted in hours before I start. If you rely on complex B2B pricing, heavy product configuration or ERP links, I’ll tell you to fix Magento instead. The full comparison is in my Magento vs Shopify guide.
Do you offer ongoing Magento support?
Yes, hourly Magento support at $50 an hour, quoted first. Patches, extension updates, bug fixes and small changes are each built on a copy, tested on staging and shipped with a backup and a way back.
Can you take over from our old Magento agency?
Yes. I start by mapping what they left: version and patch level, extensions, custom modules and who holds the server and Git access. Then you get a written handover, whoever works on it next.
Do you work on Adobe Commerce or only Magento Open Source?
Most of my Magento work is on Magento Open Source 2.4. Adobe Commerce runs on the same code base with extra modules, so the same audit and fixes apply.
