How much does a Magento redesign cost?

By the AXELITES team

The cost of a Magento redesign depends on what actually needs to change: store presentation, purchasing journeys, modules, data or connections to business tools. Two projects with the same name can therefore involve very different work. AXELITES offers competitive prices: contact us for more details about your project.

To prepare for this discussion, here are the decisions to make and information to gather. The aim is to compare proposals that address the same need and identify factors that could change the scope.

Distinguish visual, technical and functional redesigns

A visual redesign covers the theme, navigation and product presentation in particular. A technical redesign may address the underlying platform, extensions and custom development. A functional redesign changes sales rules, customer services or administration. These dimensions can overlap, but should be identified separately.

A difficult-to-use cart does not automatically justify rebuilding the entire store. Conversely, retaining incompatible modules can complicate a seemingly limited change. An audit helps decide what can be reused and what needs reworking.

Describe the specifics of your catalogue and sales

The number of products alone does not describe the work. Variants, bundles, attributes, languages and stores must also be considered, along with pricing and shipping rules. Content that needs cleaning or reorganising affects preparation of the new store.

Consider this scoping example: the same item may be sold individually to some customers and in packs to others. This rule affects the product page, cart and exchanges with management systems. Specifying it from the start avoids discovering it during acceptance testing.

  • Customer journeys to retain and difficulties to resolve.
  • Pricing, promotion, payment and shipping rules.
  • Languages, stores and administration needs.
  • Data to migrate, clean or archive.

Include integrations and data migration

The redesign must account for connections to ERP, CRM, PIM and payment or logistics services. Every data flow must be checked: which system creates the data, which identifier is used, and how is an error recovered? A working screen does not guarantee that an order reaches the management system correctly.

Migrating customers, orders and products also requires rules and checks. A trial migration verifies mappings before the switchover. Content, old URLs and redirects are included in the transition work to reduce broken navigation and SEO risks.

Plan acceptance testing and post-launch operation

The proposal must specify who prepares test scenarios, who validates usage and which conditions authorise going live. Representative journeys include a complete order, as well as the discounts, shipping methods and business data exchanges actually used.

Initial implementation must also be distinguished from hosting, licences, software vendor services and maintenance. A delivered store must be manageable, monitored and updatable. Ask for the division of responsibilities to be explicitly included in the scope.

Compare proposals using common deliverables

A useful comparison focuses on deliverables and acceptance conditions. Ask for clarification of assumptions, exclusions, dependencies and the procedure when a new need arises. A deferred option must be identifiable, along with its consequences for the first version's operation.

At AXELITES, we build the proposal around your store's objectives and the work required. Our prices are competitive. Contact us to discuss the scope and obtain more details.

  • Functional scope and custom development.
  • Data migration, integrations and expected checks.
  • Acceptance testing, launch and team support.
  • Maintenance, dependencies and responsibilities after delivery.

Prepare for your first discussion with AXELITES

Gather the store URL, Magento edition and version if known, main modules and connected software. Add the problems encountered, project objectives and commercial periods to consider.

You do not need a complete specification to contact us. We can start by clarifying the request, identifying missing information and deciding whether a preliminary audit would be useful.

Frequently asked questions

Can part of the current store be retained?
Yes, if the analysis confirms that the components meet the need and remain compatible with the target. The decision must consider the code, dependencies and usage to preserve.
Does a redesign require moving to Adobe Commerce?
No. The choice of edition depends on the expected features, selected services and your organisation. It should be considered separately from the need to redesign the theme or customer journeys.
