Expert Magento Development & Architecture
We don’t just “install” Magento. We engineer it.
Magento (Adobe Commerce) is a beast. If it is built correctly, it is the most powerful e-commerce platform on the planet. If it is built poorly, it is a slow, expensive liability. Watermelon Web Works is the agency you call when you are tired of the latter.
We are not salespeople; we are senior architects. We have seen too many stores crippled by bloated themes, conflict-ridden plugins, and messy core overwrites. We write clean, compliant code that respects the framework. Whether you need a complex ERP integration, a headless PWA implementation, or a rescue mission for a failing build, we handle the heavy lifting.
The Open Source Advantage (Stop Paying the “Adobe Tax”)
There is a misconception that you need the paid version (Adobe Commerce/Enterprise) to run a serious store. For 95% of businesses, this is false.
We specialize in Magento Open Source. We have successfully migrated multiple enterprise-level merchants from the paid Commerce edition down to Open Source. The result? They kept their functionality, their site speed improved, and they stopped paying five-to-six figures a year in licensing fees. If you want enterprise features without the enterprise bloat, we need to talk.
Performance is a Feature, Not an Afterthought
A slow Magento store is a broken Magento store. We don’t guess at performance; we engineer it using Varnish, Redis, Elasticsearch, and optimized SQL queries. If your current agency is telling you that a 4-second load time is “normal” for Magento, they are lying to you. Check out our deep dive on Magento Speed Optimization to see how we cut load times in half.
Portland Roots, National Scale
We are proudly based in Portland, OR. When you hire Watermelon, you aren’t handed off to a project manager who outsources your ticket to an offshore farm. You speak directly to the developers writing your code. We provide the architectural rigor of a large national agency with the direct communication of a local partner.
Enterprise Tooling We Use Daily
