Why Choose Magento for Your Online Store?
Magento is one of the most mature e-commerce platforms in the world. Built for online stores that want more than just a standard template: full control over the front end, complex product structures, powerful search functionality, and integrations with ERP, PIM, and marketing tools.
The platform grows along with your business. From a few hundred products to thousands of items, from a single market to an international presence, from a simple checkout to a fully personalized shopping experience—Magento can handle it all without you having to switch platforms.
Factor Blue builds Magento online stores for ambitious brands that take their business seriously. Certified, proven, and with a team that understands and manages your platform even after launch.
For whom:
- Brands looking to replace an existing online store
- Companies looking to start selling online
- Retailers looking to expand internationally
- Business owners who want control over their platform and data
Our work is supported by a strong network of technical partners, complemented by expertise in e-commerce and technology that we continuously develop and refine.
//02 — What Magento Offers
Everything a professional online store needs
Building a Magento online store isn’t just a matter of choosing a theme and uploading a few products. The platform offers a comprehensive foundation that we configure, expand, and integrate with your systems so that everything works the way your business needs it to—not the other way around.

Great front end: lightning-fast
Factor Blue uses Hyvä as the Magento frontend by default. It’s three to five times faster than traditional frontends. It delivers better Google Core Web Vitals, higher SEO scores, and a smoother shopping experience on any device. We are an official Hyvä Partner.
Powerful search function
Fast, relevant search results have a direct impact on your conversion rate. A visitor who can’t find what they’re looking for will shop elsewhere. We implement Elasticsearch as the foundation for your search functionality.
For online stores that want to take things a step further, we integrate with Tweakwise.
Doing Business Internationally
With Magento Multi-Store, you can run multiple online stores from a single installation—supporting different languages, currencies, product ranges, and domains—all managed from a single backend.
For translations, we integrate translation tools that automatically translate content into the languages of your target markets.
Product configurators
Some products can’t simply be added to a shopping cart. They are customized: by color, size, material, finish, or a combination of options, and the price changes with every selection.
We build Magento product configurators that provide immediate visual feedback for every selection.
Some online stores serve both consumers and business buyers. Think of customer-specific pricing, corporate accounts, quote workflows, and purchase order management. Magento supports these features, and Factor Blue builds them.

//07 — Our Approach
From the initial consultation
to the live online store
Discovery
We start with a thorough intake: your target audience, competitors, current platform, and growth goals. Based on that, we create a concrete proposal—not a standard quote, but a collaboration model tailored to your situation.
Architecture & Planning
We design the technical architecture: which modules, which integrations, and which front end.
You’ll receive a realistic schedule with clear milestones so you know what to expect and when.
Development & Testing
Our team works in sprints. You can track progress, communicate with the team weekly, provide feedback, and always know where we stand. Testing is a standard part of our process—not something we do at the very end when it’s too late.
Launch
We ensure a careful and controlled go-live process, including training for your team and comprehensive documentation. You won’t go live and then be left to fend for yourself. We remain involved even after delivery.
Management & Further Development
It’s not over yet. Your store is constantly evolving. That’s why we remain involved even after launch. Through our collaborative model—which includes updates, performance monitoring, and new features—we ensure your platform always remains in top condition.
//08 — Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
about Magento online stores
Frequently asked questions about our services. Can’t find your question here? We’d be happy to answer it personally.
01. When is Magento the right choice for my online store?
Magento is the right choice if you want long-term control over your own platform. The code belongs to you, not to a SaaS provider that can change its terms, prices, or features. You aren’t dependent on what a platform does or doesn’t allow, you don’t pay monthly license fees that scale with your revenue, and you can make any changes your business requires.
That open-source nature is a fundamental difference from platforms like Shopify or BigCommerce. With those SaaS solutions, you’re essentially renting access to software that belongs to someone else. With Magento, you build on a foundation that is entirely yours, including all data, all code, and all integrations.
02. What is Hyvä, and why is it better than the standard Magento frontend?
Hyvä is a modern Magento frontend that loads three to five times faster than the standard frontend. Hyvä is built on Alpine.js and Tailwind CSS and consistently scores higher on Google Core Web Vitals—the performance metrics Google uses for search rankings.
A higher score means better positions in search results and fewer visitors who leave due to slow load times.
Factor Blue is an official Hyvä Partner and uses Hyvä as its standard platform.
03. How long does it take to build a Magento online store?
A Magento online store without complex integrations or extensive customization is typically live within three to five months. Projects involving ERP integrations, a product configurator, or a complex migration from another platform take five to nine months to complete. The turnaround time also depends on how quickly content, products, and feedback are made available by the client. Factor Blue provides a realistic timeline during the discovery phase.
04. How much does it cost to have a Magento online store built?
The investment for a B2C online store is usually between 25,000 and 50,000 euros.
The costs are primarily determined by four factors: the amount of customization, the number of integrations with systems such as ERP and PIM, the size of the catalog and migration of existing data, and the complexity of the front end.
In addition, you should expect monthly costs for hosting, maintenance, and ongoing development. We handle this through a partnership model.
Factor Blue works with fixed prices as much as possible instead of hourly billing. After an initial consultation and a discovery phase, you’ll receive a concrete proposal with a fixed price and a clear scope, so you know exactly what to expect upfront.
05. Can you migrate an existing online store to Magento?
Yes. Factor Blue assists with migrations from Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Lightspeed, and other platforms to Magento. During a migration, product and customer data are transferred, existing URL structures are preserved or redirected, and SEO structure is carefully maintained so you don’t lose search rankings during the transition.
A migration takes an average of four to six months, depending on the size of the catalog and the complexity of the current environment.
06. Can a Magento online store be integrated with an ERP or PIM system?
Yes. Magento integrates with virtually any ERP or PIM system via REST API and GraphQL. Factor Blue builds integrations with systems such as Exact Online, SAP, AFAS, Microsoft Dynamics, and Akeneo through Alumio, an official iPaaS partner of Factor Blue.
Through Alumio, products, inventory, prices, and orders are synchronized in real time or in batches.
The integration is built with error handling, logging, and monitoring so you always know whether the synchronization is proceeding correctly.
07. Is Magento suitable for large catalogs with thousands of products?
Absolutely. Magento is built for large catalogs. Hundreds of thousands of SKUs, hundreds of customer groups with their own prices, and complex product configurations—that’s where the platform really shines. With the right hosting and a Hyvä frontend, it stays fast.
08. Can we expand an existing Magento online store with B2B functionality?
Yes. We build B2B modules on top of your existing Magento installation. Customer-specific pricing, corporate accounts, and quote requests can be added step by step without disrupting your current online store.
09. What happens after the site goes live?
Factor Blue remains involved after the launch. Through our partnership model, we manage your platform, perform updates, and continue to develop it. You’ll always have someone who knows your platform and takes responsibility for it—not just an anonymous support ticket.
10.Do I have access to my code and server environment?
Absolutely. We believe in transparency and ownership. You’ll have full access to the codebase, hosting environment, and deployments. After all, it’s your online store, and as a customer, you should never feel locked in.
11. Does Factor Blue also provide hosting?
Although we are not a hosting provider, we do assist with selecting and configuring the Magento hosting environment. We often collaborate with trusted partners such as Hypernode and ensure that the stack is fast, secure, and scalable.
11. Do you also manage existing online stores?
Yes. Factor Blue takes over existing Magento online stores, even if they were built by another party. We always start with a technical code review to assess the quality of the codebase, the security status, and the architecture. This way, we know exactly what we’re taking over and what, if anything, needs to be fixed.
After the takeover, we manage the platform through our partnership model: security updates, Magento patch releases, performance monitoring, and ongoing development based on new requirements.
So you don’t have to start from scratch to have a reliable technical partner.
