Hire a Magento Developer
A certified Magento developer without the recruiting cycle. Buy hours by the block or the month; the same Denver team does the work either way.
You can hire a Magento developer three ways: a freelancer, a full-time hire, or a team you buy by the block. This page is the case for the third, and the honest limits of the other two.
Two ways to engage
No recruiting, no notice period. Buy a 20-hour block at $190/hour when you need one, or commit to 20 hours a month for 12 months at $160/hour. The rates are public, on our Magento support pricing. Same developers either way.
Certified, US-based, same team
Certified means Adobe Certified developers. US-based means Denver, on your timezone, no overnight handoff explaining the bug twice. Same team means the developer who learns your build this month is the one who patches it next month. That's the part freelance marketplaces can't sell you.
What the developer covers
- Module and extension development
- Checkout, payment, and shipping customizations
- Performance: Varnish, Redis, MySQL, Hyvä
- Security patching and version upgrades
- ERP, PIM, and API integrations
- Post-hack cleanup and recovery
Freelancer, in-house, or us
| FREELANCER | IN-HOUSE HIRE | ORANGE COLLAR | |
|---|---|---|---|
| COST | Hourly, varies wildly | Salary + benefits + recruiting | $190/hr on-demand · $160/hr contract |
| COVERAGE | One person, one skill set | One person, needs backup | A team: dev, monitoring, patching |
| AVAILABILITY | Between other clients | Business hours | Monitoring runs 24/7; emergencies under 3 hours |
| CONTINUITY | Leaves with the context | Leaves with the context | The context stays with the team |
| CERTIFICATION | You verify it | You verify it | Adobe Certified developers |
If in-house is right for you, we'll say so. Plenty of clients pair an in-house dev with our team for the specialist work.
Hiring by the block is how our Magento support and maintenance services work day to day - same rates, same team, no separate arrangement.

Off-the-shelf solutions don't always fit. We build custom Magento modules and integrations on clean architecture - service contracts, dependency injection, API-first design, and testable code - built to still make sense in three years.
Magento Code Audits & Technical Debt Reduction
Over time, Magento stores accumulate technical debt - outdated code, unused extensions, and quick fixes that became permanent problems. We audit custom code, the database, and extensions, then hand you a roadmap, not a lecture.
