Blueprint and governance
Three decisions go to the e-commerce lead and IT architecture before the first module is written: the hosting model, the front-end approach, and an extension list with an owner for each.
Platform implementation
Adobe Commerce (Magento)
We implement Adobe Commerce for retailers and trade sellers who want control of the code, with Arabic and English store views, a fast front end and only the extensions you need.
Adobe Commerce, built on Magento Open Source, gives you the full PHP codebase, so the work centres on architecture choices: cloud or self-hosted, a Luma, Hyvä or PWA Studio front end, and which features come from Adobe and which from extensions. Gulf stores get Arabic and English store views with right-to-left themes, VAT set at 5% in the UAE and 15% in Saudi Arabia, and payment extensions for mada and Apple Pay, plus cash on delivery with a cap on order value. Self-hosting lets the platform run in a local data centre where a data residency policy calls for it.
Adobe Commerce on cloud infrastructure deploys through Git branches to integration, staging and production environments, with Fastly as the CDN. Custom behaviour goes into modules using plugins and observers rather than core edits, and where possible into App Builder or API Mesh so upgrades stay light.

How we implement Adobe Commerce (Magento)
Design, build, integration and run-state support, with each decision recorded for your steering committee.
Company accounts for trade buyers
Company accounts, shared catalogues, negotiated quotes and requisition lists from the Adobe Commerce B2B module, set up for trade customers.
Extension audit and upgrade path
A review of installed extensions for security patches and upgrade fit, replacing those that block a move to the latest 2.4 release.
Page Builder content
Page Builder templates for Arabic and English campaign pages, so merchandisers publish campaigns without developers.
Hypercare and managed support
Adobe publishes security patches and feature releases for 2.4 on a regular schedule; we apply them through staging first, watch New Relic and the error logs, and keep extensions current between upgrades.
Signs Adobe Commerce is the better choice
It is strongest for merchants who need deep customisation, complex trade pricing or self-hosting, and who have, or will fund, a development team to maintain a PHP codebase.
- A development team or retained partner for PHP and Magento modules
- Trade buyers with company accounts, quotes or contract prices
- A decision on cloud hosting versus a local data centre
- An extension list kept under version control
