Magento has been one of our core platform specialisms for years. We took over hosting, support and ongoing development for Penelope Chilvers’ Magento store, including a full upgrade to the latest version, and we still support Magento stores today, including plants4presents.co.uk.
Magento has been one of our core specialisms for years, including full platform upgrades, integrations and ongoing support for stores we still run today.
Magento/Adobe Commerce handles large, complex catalogues and high order volumes without the workarounds smaller platforms need.
Sell to businesses and consumers from the same platform, with different pricing, catalogues and experiences for each.
A mature ecosystem for connecting ERP, finance and fulfilment systems — the kind of integration work we’ve done on the stores we support.
Adobe Commerce’s roadmap and security patching give larger stores the long-term confidence smaller or abandoned platforms can’t.
Shopcreator, based in Leeds since 1998, provides both Magento hosting and ongoing support as one service. Retainers start from £150/month.
We resolved exactly this for Penelope Chilvers: “Penelope Chilvers is now running on the latest version of Magento with all issues resolved. The support we get from Shopcreator, and the end user experience, is better than ever.”
Yes – Magento is powerful but resource-hungry, and slow pages are almost always down to misconfigured caching (Varnish, Redis or full-page cache), unindexed data, or hosting that isn’t sized for Magento’s requirements. Diagnosing and fixing exactly this is one of the things we do most often – tuning caching, indexing and server resources so pages load quickly without just throwing more hardware at the problem.
We upgraded Penelope Chilvers’ store to the latest Magento version, including third-party integrations, with all issues resolved.
Yes — Magento 1 reached end-of-life in June 2020 and no longer receives security updates. We can assess and migrate or upgrade Magento 1 stores.
Retainers start from £150/month, with 1 hour response times for urgent issues depending on contract.
Yes — including plants4presents.co.uk, alongside our ongoing work for Penelope Chilvers. Magento has been one of our core platform specialisms for years, covering hosting, upgrades and day-to-day support.
With Shopcreator there’s no handoff to argue about — the same team hosts and maintains your Magento store, so there’s nowhere for a problem to hide between two suppliers blaming each other.
Magento is resource-intensive and generic shared hosting often can’t give it the server resources it needs, leading to slow pages and timeouts. Managed hosting means the server is sized and configured for Magento specifically, with support included.
Hosting, monitoring, security updates, version upgrades, and 1 hour response times for urgent issues — all from £150/month, scaled to your store’s size.
Shopcreator has been building and supporting ecommerce stores from Leeds since 1998.
