Nigel Boulton, Magento Freelance Developer
Hi, I’m Nigel Boulton — Magento Certified Developer, Hyvä Partner, and UK-based Magento Freelancer with over 28 years’ experience in eCommerce.
Magento is a powerful eCommerce platform — but to get the best from it, you need someone who knows it inside and out. I’ve been working with Magento since 2008 and have helped businesses across the UK build fast, flexible, and scalable Magento 2 stores that deliver results.
I’m a Magento Certified Developer, Hyvä Partner, and have been working in eCommerce for over 28 years. Whether you’re launching a new Magento store, replatforming from elsewhere, or need expert help with performance or functionality — I can help.
How I Can Help
-
Custom Magento Development
I specialise in building bespoke Magento 2 websites that are tailored to your exact business requirements — not just repurposed themes or bloated builds.
From the ground up, I write clean, modular code that keeps your site fast, secure, and easy to maintain. Whether you need a custom product configurator, bespoke checkout flow, or unique backend functionality, I can build it the right way — without relying on clunky plugins.
-
Magento Store Builds & Migrations
Need a new Magento store or migrating from another platform like Magento 1, Shopify, or WooCommerce?
I manage the entire process from discovery and scoping to development, testing, and launch. I ensure a seamless migration of products, customers, and order data — with no disruption to your business. I’ll also help you plan your infrastructure, choose the right theme (like Hyvä for performance), and launch with confidence.
-
Performance & Speed Optimisation
Magento has a reputation for being heavy — but that doesn’t have to be the case. I’ll help make your site lightning-fast by optimising everything from theme rendering and caching to database queries and server setup.
Whether you're struggling with slow load times, Core Web Vitals, or site instability during peak traffic, I can get things running smoothly and efficiently.
-
Integrations & Extension Development
Need Magento to work with your existing tools?
I integrate Magento with ERPs, CRMs, PIMs, marketing platforms, payment gateways, courier services, and more. If an off-the-shelf extension doesn’t exist — or doesn’t work well — I can build one for you. All code is written to Magento standards, version-controlled, and future-proofed for upgrades.
-
Ongoing Support and Maintenance
Magento needs regular care to stay secure, stable, and performing at its best. I provide proactive maintenance that covers everything from applying security patches and version upgrades to fixing bugs, adding new features, and supporting seasonal changes. Whether you need a monthly support retainer or ad hoc help, I’ll keep your site safe, up-to-date, and running smoothly — with minimal disruption and clear communication.
-
SEO, UX & Hyvä Theming
Great performance isn’t just about speed — it’s also about discoverability and usability
. I help improve Magento’s technical SEO, optimise for Core Web Vitals, implement structured data, and create intuitive user journeys that help customers find and buy faster. I’m also a Hyvä Partner, building ultra-fast Magento front ends using Hyvä Themes — modern, clean, and easy to maintain.
