Most Magento projects run over budget, over timeline, and under-deliver. Not because Magento is difficult — but because nobody is holding the development team accountable to real standards. We do that. We're the technical layer between you and your developers, making sure the code delivered is code worth paying for.

We've seen these patterns across dozens of Magento projects — both ones we rescued and ones we built right from the start.
Vague project specs lead to endless change orders and "that wasn't included" conversations. A well-defined SOW protects you and creates accountability from day one.
If nobody on your team can review the code, the developer sets the standard. Without independent oversight you have no way to know if you're getting excellent work or barely functional work.
Small requests accumulate into massive budget overruns. We manage scope formally — so you're never surprised by an invoice that doubled because of verbal requests.
A slow Magento store at launch means the development team cut corners on caching, database optimization, and hosting configuration. This should be caught in QA — not discovered by your customers.
URL structure changes, improper redirects, missing canonical tags — Magento migrations and relaunches handled carelessly can torch months of organic authority in days.
The project launches and your developer still controls the hosting, the admin, and the repo. You've paid for something you don't fully own. We make sure this never happens.
We provide the technical leadership that keeps Magento projects on track, on budget, and delivered to a standard you can actually verify.
We review or write your statement of work before you sign anything — ensuring the scope is specific enough to hold your developer accountable and protect you from endless change orders.
Sprint oversight, milestone tracking, developer communication, issue documentation — we handle the technical project management so you can focus on your business, not on chasing status updates.
Pre-launch code review and QA testing against Magento standards. We catch performance issues, security problems, and sloppy code before they become your problem after launch.
Managed launch process with redirect audits, crawl verification, performance benchmarking, and analytics continuity — so your Magento relaunch doesn't become an SEO disaster.
Every project ends with a formal handoff — full admin access, hosting credentials, repository ownership, and documentation. You own everything you paid for.
Once you're live, we move to data-driven optimization — analytics, A/B testing, conversion improvements, and ongoing performance monitoring against clear benchmarks.
Our team built Magento stores for enterprise clients for seven years through NuEthic. We understand the platform, the development process, and every place a project can go sideways.
We define success metrics before a line of code is written. Not vague goals — specific, measurable outcomes that both you and your developer sign off on.
Every recommendation is backed by your actual analytics data. We don't chase features — we chase the specific improvements the data says will move your metrics.
We don't have a development team to place on your project. Our recommendations are based solely on what's right for your situation — not what creates more work for us.
Beyond a working Magento store, we ensure you receive:
✓ Full admin and server credentials
✓ Repository access and ownership
✓ Documented architecture and customizations
✓ Hosting that you own and control
✓ Analytics baseline for future optimization
✓ Performance benchmarks and monitoring setup
No bloated retainers. No endless discovery phases. A focused four-step process that delivers real value from the first conversation.
We talk about what's frustrating you and what you've already tried. You'll leave with clarity regardless of whether we engage.
We examine your vendors, code, analytics, ad accounts, and processes — and document what we find in plain language.
Prioritized action plan. Specific goals. Measurable outcomes. Written so your whole team understands it — not just the technical people.
We manage execution, track results against the metrics we set together, and report the truth — no vanity numbers.
Our team members have successfully rolled out solutions and projects for some of the most demanding organizations in Utah and beyond — and many more.

We don't staff projects with juniors. Every engagement gets senior-level thinking from people who have built, shipped, and scaled at the highest levels.
Demand for our services is high and we do maintain waiting lists for some market segments. We're selective about the partnerships we take on — because the only engagements worth doing are ones where we can deliver measurable results.
Feel free to reach out and let's see if we're a good match. A great fit on both sides is the only way this works.
Check Availability →"I could not give a stronger recommendation. Extremely competent while taking initiative on their own to make good things happen. They take full ownership of all tasks in a punctual, competent, and absolutely reliable manner."
"After an exhaustive vetting process, NuEthic emerged far above any others. They met and exceeded our expectations at every point. The single most reliable and client-friendly development firm I have ever worked with."
"Jared wanted to explore all options before arriving at no — and even then gave a reason everyone on my team could understand. An expert who never comes from a place of superiority. I would not hesitate to work with him."
Our team has worked across nearly every stage of business — from a napkin concept to a nine-figure acquisition. The problems change at every stage, but the need for honest, experienced technical guidance never does.
Turning an idea into a viable technical roadmap before a dollar is spent. We help founders separate what needs to be built from what sounds exciting — and give you real cost estimates before you commit.
Speed matters, but shortcuts in your technical foundation cost double later. We help startups move fast and build right — establishing code ownership, clean data architecture, and vendor independence from day one.
Small doesn't mean you deserve worse service or less accountability from your vendors. We level the playing field — giving small business owners the same technical oversight and vendor scrutiny that enterprise companies take for granted.
You've validated demand and raised capital — now you need to build without blowing your budget on the wrong technical decisions. We help crowdfunded founders make smart, scalable choices before momentum stalls.
You've got investment and a spotlight — which means your technical infrastructure needs to match your pitch. We help funded companies build credibly, audit existing systems for investor due diligence, and scale without embarrassing surprises.
You've outgrown your original tech decisions and the cracks are showing. We audit what you have, identify what's holding back growth, and build a prioritized roadmap to scale without breaking everything that's already working.
Large organizations often have the biggest vendor accountability gaps — contracts are big enough that vendors get comfortable. We provide the independent technical oversight that internal teams are too close to the politics to deliver.
You've acquired a business and inherited its tech debt, mystery vendors, and undocumented systems. We rapidly assess what you own, what's worth keeping, and what needs to change — before it becomes your liability.
When two companies combine forces, their technology needs to work together. We assess technical compatibility, identify integration risks, and help structure agreements that protect both sides' digital assets from day one.
Is your agency, developer, or technology partner actually delivering value? We provide independent cross-partner technical reviews — the honest assessments that internal teams are too close to the relationship to give you.
Leadership change, rapid growth, market shift, or platform migration — transitional moments expose technical vulnerabilities fast. We help you navigate without losing SEO authority, data continuity, or vendor control.
The project went sideways. The vendor disappeared. The launch destroyed your rankings. We've seen it all — honest triage, root cause analysis, and a recovery plan that fixes the actual problem, not just the symptoms.
Regardless of where you are, the engagement looks the same: we start with an honest conversation, diagnose before we prescribe, and measure every outcome against the goals we set together at the start. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you that too.
Let's See If We're a Match →The first conversation is free. We'll tell you what we think — no sales pitch, no fluff. Just 15 years of experience and no agenda other than giving you accurate information.
