Magedia

Magedia is a Warsaw-based eCommerce development firm founded around 2015, with nine years of claimed experience in the space. The company works with 50+ clients globally and counts Brandy Melville, Wizely Finance, MHDirect, and Quantum Outsource among its named clients. The founder is Anatoliy Likhachev. The team is small enough to stay hands-on—clients mention a "close-knit team with great personal involvement"—yet structured to handle migrations, custom builds, and ongoing support.

Their pitch centers on Magento expertise. They're an Adobe partner and their developers hold Magento certifications. Beyond Magento, they offer custom web and mobile development, and they integrate with AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. The company cites measurable outcomes from client work: Brandy Melville saw an "80% sales increase in just one year" after Magedia launched sites across multiple territories. Aggregated across their client base, they claim an average of 32% growth in sales and 43% increase in site performance, though these are unverified metrics from their own reporting.

Services and capabilities

Magedia's core offering is eCommerce development, with particular depth in platform migrations. They position themselves as advisors on fit rather than platform size—their site says "don't try to find the best platform, try to find one that fits you." They handle application setup, customization, UI/UX design, and integration with third-party systems including payment gateways, POS retail systems, and CRM platforms.

They develop progressive web apps (PWAs) and emphasize mobile experience. Their quality assurance spans the project lifecycle, and they provide post-launch maintenance and consulting. One client (Jana Bachstein, PM at MHDirect) noted they can "provide us with further developers specialized in a specific field (such as UX Design)" on demand, suggesting some flexibility in team composition.

Their engagement model offers two paths: outsourcing (hire developers as needed) and dedicated team (developers work exclusively on your project). The company uses "classic, agile, and extreme" methodologies. The process they outline includes consultation, project evaluation, solution development, integration, QA and security testing, release, and post-launch support.

Notable work

Magedia names three case study types: a Floral Marketplace (customization), Home Improvement Retail (migration), and Medical Store (optimization), but provides no details on scope, timeline, or outcomes for these. Their named clients with substantive feedback include Brandy Melville (fashion retail), which saw the "80% sales increase" after launching new territories with Magedia's support over one year. Wizely Finance (fintech) praised their "velocity" and ability to build front and back end applications without disrupting service. Quantum Outsource (outsourcing services) credited them with solving "complex programming and development challenges" and delivering within tight timeframes. MHDirect (direct marketing/retail) highlighted responsiveness and flexibility to scale team members up or down based on load.

How they work

Magedia operates out of Warsaw with a response time target of two days to initial inquiries. Phone: +48 515 605 355. They offer both outsourcing and dedicated team models but don't publish pricing on their public site. Their process is seven steps: consultation, evaluation, development, integration, QA/security, release, and maintenance. Clients report they handle urgent "panic tasks" directly and can scale specialist roles (e.g., UX designers) in or out depending on ticket volume. One client noted the team leader functioned as an extension of their own company, suggesting they operate more like staff augmentation than a vendor at arms' length.

Team and credentials

Founded by Anatoliy Likhachev, Magedia doesn't publish full team size on the public site, only that they have 50+ happy customers. They're an Adobe partner with Magento-certified developers. No certifications like ISO 27001, SOC 2, or GDPR compliance are mentioned in the source material. They publish blog content and maintain a careers page, indicating they hire, but no headcount is stated.

Services and capabilities

Magedia's work spans the eCommerce stack. On the Magento side, they build from scratch, extend functionality, and handle migrations away from legacy platforms. They offer custom web and mobile development outside the eCommerce context. On the service side, they provide migration consulting (with an emphasis on fit-for-purpose rather than platform power), UX/UI design (using research, prototyping, persona development, usability testing), integration with payment processors and CRM systems, PWA development for mobile-first audiences, quality assurance, and webstore maintenance.

They name specific technologies: Magento (both versions implied), and reference integration with AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. The site lists "Programming languages," "Web," "Back-end," "Front-end," and "Database" as capability areas but doesn't enumerate specific languages or frameworks in the source material.

Notable work

Magedia's case studies are light on detail. The three named projects are a Floral Marketplace (customization tag), Home Improvement Retail (migration), and Medical Store (optimization), with no scope or outcome data provided beyond the category. Their strongest evidence of impact comes from client testimonials. Brandy Melville saw "80% sales increase in just one year" after launching in multiple territories. Wizely Finance praised their "attention to detail and velocity," noting they built "front and back end applications" without service disruption. The unnamed clients echo responsiveness, quality focus, and ability to adapt team size mid-project.

How they work

Magedia is based in Warsaw, Poland. They offer two engagement models: outsourcing (hire developers per need) and dedicated team (exclusive assignment). No per-hour or fixed rates are published. Their methodology spans classical waterfall, Agile, and extreme programming—they pick based on project needs. The intake process is seven stages: consultation, evaluation, development, integration, QA/security, release, maintenance. They promise a response within two days. Clients report responsiveness to urgent requests and flexibility to add specialized roles (UX, for example) on short notice.

Team and credentials

Anatoliy Likhachev is the founder and visible leadership. No team size is disclosed. They're an Adobe Magento partner with Magento-certified developers. No compliance certifications (ISO, SOC 2, HIPAA) are mentioned in the public materials.
