There's no "better," only "more fitting." WooCommerce is ideal for smaller to mid-sized shops that need tight integration with content and want to launch fast. Magento, on the other hand, is the enterprise solution for complex processes, multistore management, and massive scalability. We analyze your business plan and IT landscape to give you a well-founded recommendation for the system that minimizes your costs and maximizes your revenue.

As a specialized freelance agency, we're 100% independent from software vendors. We don't receive commissions for selling licenses. Our loyalty belongs exclusively to your project's success. We recommend the system we can also technically maintain with a clear conscience in the end — because we know a wrong recommendation makes our own future work harder too. Honesty is our most important asset.

TCO looks not just at the initial development costs, but at all costs across the software's entire lifecycle. That includes license fees, hosting, security updates, plugin subscriptions, and the effort for future feature extensions. A seemingly cheap system can become significantly more expensive in the long run than an enterprise solution, due to costly plugins and high maintenance effort. We put together a detailed 5-year calculation for your favorites.

A system switch is always an involved project ("migration"). Product data and customer bases can usually be transferred well, but design and custom logic often need to be built completely from scratch. That's why the initial system choice is so critical. We plan your architecture as modularly as possible to ease a potential later switch, but we do everything to find, from the start, the system that grows with your success.

Headless makes sense if you're pursuing a true omnichannel strategy and want to serve your content not just on the web, but also in apps, on smartwatches, or on in-store kiosk systems. It also offers maximum freedom in design and user experience. We also advise you on the downsides though, like higher complexity in SEO and tracking, so you can make a well-founded decision for your technological freedom.

Yes, our system selection consulting is always holistic. A shop system is only as good as its connection to inventory management (ERP) and product data management (PIM). We check interface compatibility and advise you on selecting complementary software components (like Akeneo or Xentral), to create a harmonious, highly efficient overall ecosystem for your company.

That's a decisive factor for your independence. Systems with a large community (like Magento or WordPress) guarantee that you'll always find qualified developers and ready-made solutions for new problems. With niche systems or custom-built solutions, you often end up dangerously dependent on a single provider. We weight this factor heavily in our analysis to protect your digital sovereignty.

Technically speaking, almost all modern systems can be perfectly optimized for search engines. The difference lies in the effort. While WordPress/WooCommerce already offers an excellent base, Magento requires more technical know-how for configuration (e.g. filters). We evaluate SEO capabilities based on your specific goals — because what good is the best system if slow load times from bad hosting ruin your rankings?

Yes, that's essential. A highly complex system is useless if your team is overwhelmed by it day-to-day. We analyze your staff's technical know-how and select a system that stays intuitive to use in daily upkeep (creating products, marketing campaigns). We look at the "admin experience" so the technology supports your team instead of blocking it.

We weigh control against convenience. Open source gives you maximum freedom and no ongoing license costs, but requires more responsibility for hosting and security. Cloud systems (SaaS) like Shopify offer an "all-in-one" package, but limit you in your custom processes and data sovereignty. We show you the path that fits your business philosophy best.

Yes, increasingly so. Legal requirements (BITV 2.0) make accessibility mandatory for many companies. We check which systems deliver better standards out of the box for semantic HTML and keyboard operability. Especially in frontend development (e.g. with Hyvä), we make sure the chosen system allows accessible implementation without astronomical extra costs.

Yes, that's part of a complete system check for us. The choice of payment gateways (Stripe, Klarna, PayPal, Mollie) has a massive impact on your conversion rate and transaction costs. We advise you on which provider offers the best terms for your industry and integrates most stably into your chosen shop or CMS system.

Scalability is your life insurance. A system that works well today can fail miserably at double the traffic or an international expansion. We evaluate the scaling capability of the database architecture and multistore options of each system. Our goal is that your technical foundation never becomes the limiting factor for your business success.

In a POC we build a critical function of your project (e.g. a specific ERP connection or a product configurator) as a test in the favored systems. This gives us final certainty that the system can really meet your requirements before you release a large budget for the full relaunch. It's the best method for minimizing risk.

Yes, infrastructure is inseparable from the system. We advise you on globally distributing your data via CDNs and cloud providers, to ensure your shop loads just as fast in the US as it does in Europe. We pay attention to data security, latency, and the cost efficiency of your worldwide setup.

Large agencies often have partnership contracts with certain vendors and tend to favor recommending those systems. As a specialized freelancer at mironsoft, I have no sales pressure. I offer you an honest, deep technical review and personal support without friction losses. You benefit from years of hands-on experience directly at the code level, which you often miss in theoretical agency concepts.

This is a strategic migration. We plan the switch so your ongoing operations aren't disrupted. We build the new system in parallel and only switch over on "day X" after intensive testing. Our focus lies on data security and preserving your valuable SEO rankings, so your relaunch is profitable from the first second.

This is a mathematical method to compare systems objectively. We weight your requirements (e.g. B2B features important = 40%, design freedom = 20%, cost = 40%) and score each system on these categories. In the end you get a clear point score that makes the decision easier on a purely factual basis — free of emotional bias.

Yes, we always look toward the future. We check whether a modular "best-of-breed" approach makes more sense for you than a monolithic all-in-one system. We show you how you can choose a system today that leaves you the flexibility to swap out individual components tomorrow (like search or CMS) without having to rebuild everything.

The first step is a non-binding conversation about your goals and your current situation. We clarify the consulting scope and define the milestones. Just send us a message or give us a call — we look forward to building the foundation for your digital success together!
