Magento 1
For years, Magento 1 was a powerful and popular e-commerce platform. Today, it has reached end of life and is no longer supported. Even so, some online stores still run on it, often because the platform worked reliably for so long, because it contains a lot of custom work, or because the move kept getting postponed. None of that reduces the risk. Without official updates or a modern technical foundation, ongoing development gets harder, security risks grow, and integrations and performance increasingly hit their limits.
When does moving to Magento 2 make sense?
For organizations still running Magento 1, moving to Magento 2 is the logical next step, especially if your online store is business-critical, you want to keep developing it, or you depend on modern integrations and features. Magento 2 gives you an up-to-date, flexible, and scalable e-commerce platform that’s ready for further growth. Pair it with Hyvä and you also get a fast, modern frontend that delivers better performance and a pleasant user experience.
Cream helps you make that decision with honest, technically sound advice grounded in real-world practice. We look beyond features to maintenance, ongoing development, performance, and total cost over the long term. With extensive experience in Magento Open Source, Hyvä, and migration projects, we deliver a solution that fits your ambitions.
The power of Magento Open Source
The e-commerce platform for flexible, scalable online stores.
Built for maximum flexibility
Magento Open Source gives you the freedom to adapt as your requirements, processes, and growth plans change. With extensions or custom development, you get an online store that fits your organization exactly.
Technical independence
As an open-source platform, Magento lets you choose your own technology and the partners you work with. You make your own technical decisions, with no vendor lock-in.
Control over your own data
You stay in full control of your data, so you can use it freely for integrations, analytics, personalization, and optimization, without restrictions imposed by the platform.
How Cream handles your migration
Moving from Magento 1 to Magento 2 takes both technical precision and strategic insight. That’s why we follow a clear, step-by-step plan.
Analyzing your current setup
We start by mapping out your existing environment. That includes reviewing your current functionality, product structure, data quality, customer and order data, installed extensions, custom development, and the technical setup of your current platform.
Functional & technical plan
We determine which functionality to carry over, where there’s room for improvement, and how best to set up the new environment, including integrations.
Migration & development
We migrate your data to Magento Open Source and build the functionality you need in a stable, future-proof environment.
Testing & go-live
Before go-live, we thoroughly test functionality, performance, and data, so your online store keeps running smoothly and reliably throughout the switch.
