You need a product page redesign. Or a checkout optimization. Or a Magento 2 upgrade. So you call your agency.
Here's what happens:
Magento & Adobe Commerce
Senior Magento development
Senior Magento development
without the agency markup.
Qarbi gives mid-market retailers direct access to Magento engineers with 5–8+ years of experience - at 40% less than what your current agency charges. Because you're paying for engineering, not overhead.
01 // The Reality
Here's what you're actually
Here's what you're actually
paying for at most agencies.
1
Account manager takes your call, writes up a brief
$0 value to you 2
Project manager creates a scope document, schedules meetings
$0 value to you 3
Technical lead reviews the scope, assigns it to the team
$50/hr of useful work 4
Junior developer does the actual build
$40/hr of useful work 5
QA team tests
$30/hr of useful work You get billed $150–$250/hr for the whole chain. But only $40–$50/hr of that is actual engineering.
At Qarbi, you skip steps 1–2 entirely. You talk directly to the senior engineer who builds it. That's why we cost 40% less - we removed the overhead, not the talent.
Magento & Adobe Commerce expertise
across every layer
01
Performance Optimization
Slow stores lose revenue. We diagnose and fix the real bottlenecks — database queries, caching strategy, server configuration, and frontend rendering. Typical result: 2–3x faster page loads.
02
Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce Upgrades
Still on Magento 1? Running an outdated M2 version? We handle the full upgrade path — data migration, extension compatibility, custom code refactoring, and SEO preservation.
03
Hyva Theme Implementation
Hyva replaces Magento's sluggish Luma frontend with a modern, lightweight stack. We deliver sub-2-second load times with Hyva's Alpine.js + Tailwind CSS architecture.
04
Custom Module Development
Need functionality that doesn't exist as an extension? We build custom Magento modules — pricing engines, B2B quoting systems, ERP integrations, multi-store logic, and more.
05
Headless Commerce
Decouple your frontend from Magento's backend for maximum flexibility and performance. React, Next.js, or Vue storefronts powered by Adobe Commerce's API.

B2B Commerce
Complex pricing tiers, contract management, bulk ordering, approval workflows, and ERP integration. We build B2B experiences on Adobe Commerce that actually work.

Multi-Store & Multi-Brand
Running multiple brands or storefronts on a single Magento instance? We architect multi-store setups that share infrastructure without creating a maintenance nightmare.
08
Ongoing Support & Maintenance
Security patches, performance monitoring, bug fixes, and feature development on a retainer basis. Think of us as your embedded Magento team — without the full-time salary cost.
We work best with these kinds of companies
You're a $10M–$200M ecommerce retailer.
Big enough to need serious engineering, lean enough that you can't justify a 5-person in-house Magento team.
You're frustrated with your current agency.
The costs are too high, the timelines are too long, and the developers don't understand your business goals.
You need Magento expertise, not generalists.
Your store runs on Magento or Adobe Commerce and you need engineers who live in this ecosystem — not a full-service agency that also does WordPress and Shopify.
You care about revenue, not just features.
You want an engineering partner who considers SEO impact, conversion rates, and customer lifetime value — not just whether the code works.
From first call to working code in 2–4 weeks
01
Free Store Audit
We review your Magento setup, identify quick wins and critical issues, and give you an honest assessment. 30 minutes. No obligation.
02
Sprint Plan
We define the first sprint — exactly what gets built, what it costs, and when you'll see it. Clear scope. Fixed price per sprint.
03
Build & Ship
Working code delivered every 2–4 weeks. You review, we iterate. No black-box development. You see progress every step of the way.
04
Ongoing Partnership (optional)
Most clients stay for ongoing development and support. But there's no lock-in. You own everything we build.

Why we recommend
Why we recommend
Adobe Commerce for
$10M+ retailers
We're not platform-agnostic consultants who recommend whatever pays the highest referral fee. We specialize in Adobe Commerce because it's genuinely the best platform for mid-market and enterprise retailers who need:
- Full customization — No app dependency, no template limitations
- B2B capabilities — Native quoting, catalogs, approval workflows
- Multi-store architecture — Run 10+ brands from one backend
- Complex integrations — ERP, PIM, CRM, 3PL
- Scalability — Built for high-volume, high-complexity stores
If you're currently on Shopify Plus, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce and hitting limitations, Adobe Commerce is likely the right next step. See our migration services →
Magento development questions
It depends on scope, but as a benchmark: if your current agency quotes $150K, our typical range for the same scope is $60K–$90K. We'll give you a fixed-price estimate after a free audit.
Yes. We've inherited Magento codebases from other agencies across 50+ projects. We'll audit what you have, assess the code quality, and build from there. No ego about someone else's code — we just fix it and move forward.
Yes, but we'll be honest with you: Magento 1 is end-of-life. If you're still on M1, the priority should be migrating to Adobe Commerce (M2). We'll help you plan and execute that migration with zero data loss and full SEO preservation.
They're the same platform. Adobe acquired Magento in 2018 and rebranded it. "Magento" is still widely used by developers and store owners, while "Adobe Commerce" is the official name. We use both terms interchangeably.
We are specialists in the Adobe Commerce ecosystem with 50+ projects delivered. Our partnership status is with Ultracommerce (a MACH-certified commerce platform built on Magento architecture).
