Enterprise Magento Upgrade

2.4.3 to 2.4.8. Multi-region rollout. 30+ modules audited. Zero downtime.

Magento Commerce (EE)PHP 8.4HyvaComposerPHPStanDockerBitbucket Pipelines

Challenge

An enterprise retailer running Magento Commerce 2.4.3 across EMEA and USA store views needed a major version upgrade to 2.4.8 to resolve end-of-life security concerns, gain PHP 8.4 compatibility, and unlock performance improvements. The platform had 30+ third-party modules, custom integrations, regional payment gateways, and a Hyva theme — all of which needed compatibility auditing before a single line of code was changed.

Approach

Full pre-upgrade audit: module compatibility matrix across all 30+ vendor and custom modules, identifying breaking changes, deprecated APIs, and version constraints
Phased upgrade execution: Composer dependency resolution, database schema migrations, and Hyva theme compatibility updates with zero data loss
Static analysis with PHPStan and PHP compatibility scanning to catch type errors and deprecated function usage before deployment
Delivered a comprehensive documentation package covering the upgrade path, module status, resolved conflicts, and post-upgrade verification steps

Specialty Coffee E-Commerce

Greenfield build. Artisan brand. Subscriptions from day one.

Magento 2.4.8PHP 8.3HyvaTailwindCSS 4Alpine.jsMariaDB 11.4RedisDocker

Challenge

A specialty coffee brand needed a greenfield e-commerce platform that reflected their artisan identity while handling subscription products, variable grind options, and a growing range of single-origin and blended coffees. The site needed to feel premium, load fast on mobile, and convert first-time visitors into subscribers.

Approach

Greenfield Magento 2.4.8 build with Hyva theme and Tailwind CSS 4, designed from scratch to match the brand's craft identity
Custom product pages with grind size selectors, weight options, and subscription logic for recurring orders
Performance-first frontend: lazy-loaded imagery, Alpine.js micro-interactions, and optimised critical rendering path for sub-3-second mobile loads

Challenge

A force-free dog trainer with a thriving local reputation needed a website that did her work justice — and a booking flow that removed every back-and-forth between a new client and a confirmed session. Mobile-first, premium-feeling, and no SaaS lock-in or monthly fees.

Approach

Custom Tailwind + Alpine.js site designed from scratch with a calm black-and-gold brand language — no template, no page builder
Three-step booking built into the site: choose service, pick date and time, confirm with Apple Pay — all in-page, no third-party portal
WhatsApp deep-link for bespoke programmes — Residential Training enquiries land in Emily's chat directly, where complex pricing conversations belong

Apple-Style Booking for a Beauty Salon

One-page booking on a £0/month stack — Apple-style checkout feel.

Next.jsTailwindCSSStripeApple PaySupabaseResendVercel

Challenge

A busy beauty salon was losing time to phone bookings and looking at £30+/month SaaS booking platforms. The brief was a flow as polished as Apple's checkout — without the recurring fee — and short enough that customers could complete it on a phone in under a minute.

Approach

One-page booking inspired by Apple's checkout: service selection, slot picker, contact details and payment on a single screen
Stripe Checkout with Apple Pay and Google Pay enabled — instant payment, no separate provider account, PCI compliance handled by Stripe
Supabase as the slot database, Resend for confirmation email — every booking captured, every customer notified, zero infra cost

Writing and reviewing merchant-facing documentation covering store configuration, catalog management, and platform administration
