Magento eCommerce CMS projects

Magento eCommerce is an elaborate platform for development of web-shops. It provides rich built-in functionality and gives a powerful object-oriented framework for the development of customizations and implementation of additional functionality.

So far we have implemented 12 projects based on Magento eCommerce platform. The smallest project took 1 week (Magento installation, set up and small design changes) and the biggest one with a lot of additional functionality took more than 1 man-year.

We have good Magento experience in the following:

Installation and set up of Magento
Working with buit-in Magento functionality
Creation of new themes
Modifications of core files related to:
1. Checkout (onepage/multishipping): selector of different shipping method for separate product sources; pre-defined payment method
2. Calculation of taxes: NYS sales tax, $110 threshold of tax, European VAT tax
3. Multi-warehouses (multiple retailers), shipping is performed directly from the retailer to the customer, skipping the shop’s warehouse
4. Customization of backend, delimitation of permissions for warehouses’ keepers (retailers)
5. GoogleAnalytics. Customization of the built-in module
6. Output of catalog and results of search, custom filtering of catalog
