A Magento shop that is still right after it goes live.
Whoever builds it also hosts it with us. When it gets slow, there is nobody else to point at.
Short answer
Building a Magento shop makes sense if you have a large or complex range, sell to businesses, or want to run several shops and languages from one back office. Jevana sets up Magento 2, builds the theme on Hyvä, adds the modules and integrations you need and then hosts the shop on its own hardware. After delivery, the code is yours.
Does Magento fit what you sell
| Situation | Magento | WooCommerce |
|---|---|---|
| A few hundred products, one country | Possible, but often too heavy | Usually the better choice |
| Thousands of products with variants | Made for it | Becomes hard to manage |
| Prices per customer or customer group | Built in | With extra plugins |
| Several shops, languages and currencies | From one back office | A separate install per shop |
| Link to an ERP or warehouse | Strong API, queues | Possible, with more custom work |
We build both. If WooCommerce suits your size better, we say so before you sign a quote.

- 01
What it must do
Range, customer groups, payment, shipping, integrations. On paper, before there is a line of code.

Questions
Which online shops should choose Magento?
Magento suits shops with a large range, many product variants, business customers with their own prices or several shops run from one back office. The platform can do a lot, and that also makes it heavier to host and maintain. If you sell a manageable range to consumers in one country, WooCommerce works out cheaper.
What do you get when a new Magento shop is delivered?
You get a working shop on a production environment, a staging environment for testing changes, the full code in a Git repository and a description of how it is built. Payment, shipping and the agreed integrations are tested with real orders. Administrators are shown the daily work in the back office: products, orders and promotions.
Who owns the code of our Magento shop?
You do. The theme and the modules we build for you become your property on delivery, and the repository sits somewhere you can reach it yourself. Third-party modules stay with their makers and keep their own licences. If you later move to another agency, that agency takes over the repository and can carry on.
Do I have to buy a licence for Magento?
Not for Magento Open Source: it is free to use and enough for most small and medium-sized shops. Adobe Commerce is the paid edition, with a yearly licence that you arrange with Adobe. The Hyvä theme has also been free since November 2025. What you do pay for is the build, any third-party modules, hosting and maintenance.
How long is a Magento version supported?
Adobe supports each 2.4 release for three years with security patches. A shop built now starts on the latest release and receives updates for that period. After that comes an upgrade to the next one. That is planned maintenance, not a rebuild, provided the modules were built cleanly outside the Magento core.

From the knowledge base
-
Magento Open Source or Adobe Commerce: what is the difference?
The same base, a different price. What Adobe Commerce adds, what you cover with Open Source and modules, and when the licence pays off.
-
Magento vs WooCommerce: when do you choose which?
Both are open source and you host them yourself. The difference is scale: where WooCommerce stops and Magento begins.
