The Challenge
BLR's existing Magento 1 store was reaching end-of-life, presenting critical challenges:
Security Concerns
M1 end-of-life meant no more security patches, putting customer data at risk.
Performance Issues
Legacy codebase was slowing down as product catalog and traffic grew.
Data Preservation
Years of customer data, orders, and custom configurations needed seamless migration.
Custom Functionality
Multiple custom modules and integrations required rebuilding for M2 architecture.
The Solution
As the sole developer and architect on this project, I executed a comprehensive migration strategy:
Architecture Planning
Analyzed the existing M1 codebase, documented all custom functionality, and designed a clean M2 architecture that would support future growth.
Custom Theme Development
Built a modern, responsive theme from scratch optimized for their B2B customer base, improving UX while maintaining brand consistency.
Module Rebuilding
Rewrote all custom M1 modules following M2 best practices, ensuring compatibility with the new architecture and improved maintainability.
Data Migration
Executed flawless data migration preserving all customer accounts, order history, product data, and custom configurations with zero data loss.
Performance Optimization
Implemented caching strategies, optimized database queries, and configured server-side optimizations for improved load times.
The Results
The migration delivered a fully renovated storefront running on a secure, modern Magento 2 platform. BLR now benefits from improved performance, better security, and a foundation that supports their continued growth in the compliance and training space.
