Agency-level Magento delivery.
One accountable senior.

Usually by a wide margin, because you pay for one senior engineer instead of a team plus overhead. The point is not the lowest price, though. It is getting the work done right, by the person you are actually talking to, at a price agreed up front.

A good freelance Magento developer is usually faster and cheaper for the same quality, because nothing sits between you and the person writing the code. The usual worry is a freelancer who disappears after go-live, so I work the other way: long-term retainers, code and documentation in your accounts from day one, and emergencies covered by phone 16 hours a day. You get the directness of a freelancer with the reliability you would expect from an agency.

Yes, the UK is one of the markets I focus on. I work remotely from Poland in UK business hours, in English, with the same-day communication described above, and I invoice in GBP or EUR with no VAT for UK companies. Code, hosting and accounts stay in your name, so nothing depends on where I sit.

Yes, when the direction is still open: ongoing product development, work inside your own team and sprints, or consulting and code reviews. The rate is €65 per hour, in prepaid blocks of 20 hours, with a weekly report of the hours used. When the scope is clear, I recommend a fixed price or a retainer instead, so you know the cost up front.

Yes, deliberately. Top AI coding models write part of the routine code under my direct supervision, while I design the solution, review every line that ships and stay responsible for it. That is a large part of why one senior can deliver what used to take a team. Your code stays under NDA, and I use providers whose business terms exclude training on customer data. If your policy restricts AI tooling, we agree that up front.

I do the work myself and plan holidays around your releases, with weeks of notice. The code, documentation and infrastructure live in your accounts, never locked to me, so nothing stops while I am away. If your retainer needs guaranteed emergency cover, I can name a trusted senior Magento colleague in the contract who steps in only if I cannot.

All three. Adobe Commerce adds B2B and cloud features for a licence fee based on your revenue; Magento Open Source and Mage-OS, the community-run distribution, are free. If you pay for Adobe Commerce but use little of what it adds, a move to Mage-OS or Open Source can save the licence, and I can tell you in an audit whether it would. On the front end I work with Hyvä, PWA Studio / Venia and custom headless storefronts.

For most merchants, Hyvä: it is faster to build, cheaper to maintain and already very fast. Headless on PWA Studio / Venia makes sense when you need a fully decoupled React storefront, several channels on one backend, or an in-house front-end team. I have delivered both, so the recommendation follows your case, not what I prefer to build.

Yes. I have worked with Magento since 2008 and I am building a long-term practice, not filling a gap between jobs. Retainers can run for years. And because nothing is locked to me, you are protected either way.

Yes, that is a large part of my work. It starts with an audit of the code and infrastructure and a written plan with a fixed quote.

A simple services agreement with a fixed scope, and an NDA if you need one. I invoice from my Polish company with an EU VAT number: reverse charge for VAT-registered businesses in the EU, no VAT for clients outside the EU. Payment by bank transfer: SEPA in EUR, international wire in USD or GBP. Fixed-price projects are invoiced per phase, retainers monthly, and hourly work in prepaid blocks. US and Canadian clients get a W-8BEN, so there is no withholding to deal with.
