9 Magento Development Solutions for SMBs

Magento has gained a healthy reputation as the go-to platform for developers of eCommerce stores. No matter what business you’re in, its extensive features and flexibility provide all the elements needed to build a multi-channel online store with relative ease.

That said, to exploit the full benefits of the platform, you may need a little technical expertise to get your eCommerce store ready for launch. With the platform requiring you to arrange your hosting, installation, and setup, newcomers can technically be challenging tasks. But, of course, that’s before we even get into the extensive customization options that the platform offers.

Fortunately, there is plenty of help at hand.

The success of Magento has resulted in a vast community of developers and service providers, which means that there’s no shortage of solutions. However, when it comes to small and medium-sized businesses, the aim isn’t just to find a solution but to find one that fits your company’s budget. To that end, we’re going to list nine of the most cost-effective Magento development solutions on the market today to help narrow down the field a little.
