Why Choose Magento & Adobe Commerce

Built to Scale with Your Business

Magento and Adobe Commerce support multi-store, multi-language, and multi-currency setups, giving your business the infrastructure to grow without limits. Perfect for your expanding product ranges, international reach, and B2B functionality.

Proven to Increase Performance

Adobe reports that brands migrating to Magento 2 experience up to a 29% improvement in site speed and 20% increase in conversion rates. Faster sites mean more customers converting – and less revenue left on the table.

Customisation Without Compromise

Our Adobe and Magento eCommerce solutions give you control over every aspect of your store, so you can match your platform to your processes, not the other way around.

What it Means for You

Smarter campaigns, higher conversion, and a store that doesn’t need rebuilding every 18 months. You get more efficient operations, stronger ROI, and the foundation to unlock your next nice problems – like scaling fulfilment or growing into new regions.

How Adobe Commerce Can Help You Unlock Your Next Nice Problem

Adobe Commerce is built for brands outgrowing the basics. When your catalogue’s expanding, operations are getting messy, or you need more from your site than just ‘working’, Adobe is the upgrade that clears the way.
Our NNP Workshop pinpoints what’s holding you back – then we fix it. Whether that’s slow load times, checkout friction, or backend complexity, we build the kind of Adobe Commerce setup that sets the stage for nicer problems: more demand, more channels, and a store that keeps up.

Without Actuate’s help and support, our original website wouldn’t have succeeded. Time was of the essence, and Actuate stepped in to deliver a swift turnaround. The new site has performed exceptionally well ever since. We continue to grow thanks to Actuate. ❤️ Thanks guys!”

Frequently Asked Questions.

Get in Touch

How long will it take to build a brand-new Adobe Commerce website?

From your initial consultation call to launch, typically an Adobe Commerce website takes our specialists between 3 – 9 months – although this does depend on the size of the site. We will always endeavour to deliver all the design, functionality and speed you’re looking for, meeting any deadlines that you might have to launch as soon as humanly possible.

How much will an Adobe Commerce site cost to build from scratch?

We make sure we get to know you and your business, thoroughly, to ensure we tailor your quotation to your needs. By designing your eCommerce strategy around you, we can provide our best, fixed-price quotations, with pinpoint accuracy; we find it helps our clients know exactly where they stand. We are pleased to offer flexible payment options, too, helping you spread the cost, if that’s better for you.

Our prices for a brand-new Adobe Commerce website start at £42,000 +VAT. Our team are always happy to chat with you, and provide a ballpark figure based on your site’s size, if this helps. Tell us more about your business.

How does the Adobe Commerce website development process work?

When you are building a new website that’s pivotal to the success of your eCommerce business, it is important to know exactly what stage your project is at, at any one time. So, with that in mind, we created our simple, 7-stage design process, helping you understand where we are at and what is needed from conception to launch.

Can you help with ongoing website management after launch?

Well, of course, that is what we are here for – just let us know what you need. You might want to build in a new design feature, creating additional functionality, or you might like additional Adobe Commerce support with site maintenance that helps you keep more plates spinning at your end.

We are here to help you grow and scale your business, so your eCommerce dev team will always be chuffed to bits to help out.

Do I have to be based in Manchester or the north-west to work with you?

We work with all manner of different clients, from a huge variety of sectors, right across the country. Our Adobe Commerce agency is in Manchester, but wherever you are, we’re happy to jump on a Zoom call or if you prefer, we’ll hop in the car and visit you. In fact, many of our local clients still prefer to meet online rather than at Actuate Digital HQ. Whatever is best for you.
