E-commerce development · Magento 2 & MageOS

What you're buying isn't a website.
It's the ability to sell, manage and grow.

WiMakeIT builds custom Magento 2 and MageOS e-commerce sites — from a simple online store to a complex B2B platform with a connected ERP. Adobe Commerce certified agency, based in Belgium.

Let's discuss your project Magento 2 or MageOS?

What our clients face before they contact us

Real problems, not technical hypotheses.

“Our platform can't handle the load at peak times.”

“My ERP and my online store don't talk to each other. My team re-keys everything by hand.”

“I have to go through my agency for every catalogue change.”

“I have B2B and B2C customers, but my platform can't handle both.”

“Our trade customers still order by email or phone.”

“Our site is slow on mobile. We lose visitors before they even see our products.”

“We've already changed agencies once. The project never really gets finished.”

Magento 2 & MageOS

Two distributions, one reference architecture.

Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce Open Source) is the most powerful open-source e-commerce platform on the market. Unlike closed SaaS solutions, Magento gives you full ownership of the source code: you don't depend on a subscription to access your own data. It's an asset that becomes part of your company's technical capital.

New · Community fork

MageOS: Magento 2 driven by the community

MageOS is an open-source fork of Magento 2, launched in 2022 by the international developer community. It shares 100% of the Magento 2 architecture — same module system, same layout XML, same API — but with a faster release cycle, transparent governance and lighter Composer packages.

In practice: if you don't need the paid Adobe Commerce features, MageOS is a sound, future-proof alternative. WiMakeIT helps you choose the right distribution during the scoping phase.

📦

No catalogue limits

Product kits, configurators, business-specific attributes, complex variants. Magento handles what others turn down.

🔗

Native ERP integration

Products, prices, stock and orders synchronised in real time with Mercator, Odoo, SAP, Dynamics AX.

🔍

Built-in SEO

Technical architecture optimised for search engines from day one — not as an afterthought.

🌍

Multi-market

Multiple languages, currencies and VAT rules. New markets without duplicating the platform.

🤝

Native B2B

Multi-user accounts, contract pricing, order approval, purchase orders, restricted catalogues.

🔑

Full code ownership

No SaaS subscription, no vendor lock-in. The code belongs to you — an asset on your balance sheet.

New build, redesign, migration, marketplace

Five scenarios, the same need for proper scoping.

Building a new site, redesigning a platform or migrating each raise different challenges. It's never just about design: your internal processes, your business tools and your ability to evolve the platform over time all have to be taken into account.

Building a new e-commerce site

You're launching a new online business, digitising your B2B sales or want a platform that matches your offer. You need a sound foundation.

→ Functional scoping and e-commerce architecture
→ Choosing the right solution: Magento 2 or MageOS
→ Designing key customer journeys (B2C, B2B, multi-profile)
→ Development, integrations, go-live and training

Redesigning an existing platform

Your site already exists but can't keep up: technical limits, cumbersome administration, poor performance. A worthwhile redesign fixes structural bottlenecks rather than just repainting them.

→ Audit of what's blocking you today and what to keep
→ Technical debt resolved before rebuilding
→ Service continuity during the transition

Migration from PrestaShop, WooCommerce, Shopify or Magento 1

A migration requires a controlled transfer of your catalogue, customers, orders, URLs and system connections. No shortcuts.

→ Systematic SEO redirects — no loss of rankings
→ Transfer of catalogue, customers and order history
→ Full validation before switching to production

B2B e-commerce site with a connected ERP

You have negotiated pricing, an ERP to connect and specific internal processes. Your buyers need a dedicated area, approval levels and tailored invoicing.

→ Multi-user customer accounts with permissions and roles
→ Automatic contract pricing by segment or account
→ Two-way ERP integration — no manual re-keying

Multi-vendor marketplace

A marketplace adds an extra layer of complexity: vendor management, multiple catalogues, commission rules, separate payment flows.

→ Multi-vendor architecture and merchant account management
→ Commission rules and automated payouts
→ Payment flow integration (Stripe Connect, Mangopay)

Redesign & migration

Already have an online store?

Redesigning a Magento site or migrating from PrestaShop, WooCommerce or Magento 1 calls for a specific method. Before any development, we list what is carried over (catalogue, customers, order history), what is adapted and what is rebuilt (modules, theme, ERP connections). The new site is built on staging while your current store keeps selling, and the switchover is planned with you, outside your peak periods.

On the SEO side: a URL mapping plan, 301 redirects kept for at least a year and post-launch monitoring, to limit ranking fluctuations. And sometimes a targeted optimisation is enough: scoping is also there to tell you so.
