Raghwendra Web Services (RWS) provides experienced Magento 2 and Adobe Commerce developers for staff augmentation — hourly or on a monthly retainer. In business since 2005, the team supports US and UK in-house teams, with 651 projects delivered across 20+ countries.
Hiring a full-time Magento developer locally takes time — recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, and a notice period if it doesn't work out. Sometimes a team just needs the work done.
RWS has been building on Magento since 2005, 21 years now, with 651 projects delivered for clients across more than 20 countries. That history is what gets tapped into here — developers who've already worked through legacy upgrades, ERP integrations, and performance fixes, joining an existing team rather than starting from zero.
Some teams just need one more developer inside their existing setup — not a new project stood up alongside it. If what's actually needed is a full build delivered end-to-end, or enterprise B2B architecture and cloud strategy
Why hire Magento developers through RWS
Ragh, the founder, brings more than 21 years of hands-on web development experience personally. The company has been running since 2005 — 21 years in business, a separate figure from the founder's personal track record, even though the two currently sit close together.
Adding a developer through RWS skips the usual overhead of local hiring. No lengthy recruitment process. No employment contract to manage. No notice period if the engagement needs to scale down. The 651 projects delivered across the agency, in more than 20 countries, sit behind every developer placed this way — not a guarantee of a specific outcome, but a working history this team draws on.
01 /
Staff augmentation (hire dedicated remotely)
Team Integration
Staff augmentation means one thing here: a developer joins an existing team and works inside that team's process, not a separate RWS project running in parallel. Tickets, sprints, code review — whatever system is already in place, the developer works within it.
This suits a team that already has its management structure sorted and just needs more hands on Magento work specifically.
02 /
Flexible hiring models (hourly, monthly retainers)
Engagement Options
Two ways to bring a developer on. Hourly works for short, defined pieces of work — a performance audit, a specific bug, a small feature. A monthly retainer suits ongoing support or a longer build phase, where having the same developer available week after week matters more than billing by the hour.
Neither model comes with a fixed minimum term here — that gets agreed based on what the work actually needs.
03 /
Seamless integration with Western (US/UK) in-house teams
Time Zone Overlap
A developer sitting in a different time zone only works if there's enough overlap to actually collaborate — stand-ups, code review, quick questions that would otherwise sit unanswered overnight.
RWS developers work across US and UK time zones specifically to keep that overlap workable, rather than leaving a client team waiting until the next day for a reply.
04 /
Experienced Magento 2 technical expertise
Technical Vetting
Not every Magento developer has actually worked through a legacy upgrade, an ERP integration, or a slow storefront that needed fixing under real traffic. The developers available through RWS have.
RWS developers get assessed against real project history rather than a generic technical test. What's offered is a developer whose skill has already been proven on real Magento 2 and Adobe Commerce projects.
05 /
Performance & speed optimisation skillset
Site Speed
A store that scores badly on Google PageSpeed usually has a specific, findable reason — bloated JavaScript, unoptimised images, a caching layer that isn't configured properly.
RWS developers are specifically skilled in this kind of diagnosis and fix, including working with Hyvä themes, which render faster than Magento's older Luma theme to begin with.
06 /
Clean schema & structured data coding
Technical SEO
Schema markup that's copied in badly, or missing altogether, is one of the more common reasons a Magento store underperforms in search results despite otherwise solid SEO work.
Coding this properly into product, category, and FAQ templates is a specific skill, not a generic add-on. It's one the developers here bring as part of their day-to-day work.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
There is no published rate card. Cost depends on the skill level needed, whether the engagement is hourly or a monthly retainer, and how long it runs. A specific figure comes from a conversation about what the work actually involves.
Hourly hiring suits short, defined work such as a fix, an audit, or a small feature. A monthly retainer suits ongoing support or a longer build, where having the same developer consistently available matters more than billing by the hour.
Developers work across US and UK time zones specifically to keep meaningful overlap for stand-ups and code review, with exact hours confirmed during onboarding based on the client team's working hours.
Timing depends on the specific skill needed and current availability. Onboarding itself moves quickly once a developer is matched, since the focus is fitting into the client's existing process rather than building something new.
No fixed minimum applies generally. This is agreed based on what the work needs, whether that is a short audit or an ongoing retainer.
Developers are assessed against real project history rather than a generic test, covering legacy Magento upgrades, ERP integrations, Hyvä theme builds, and performance optimisation work.
This is addressed directly rather than left to run. Raising a mismatch early and adjusting the engagement or the developer assigned is a normal part of how this works, not an exception to it.
Yes. Capacity adjusts as the work changes, whether that means adding a second developer or reducing to occasional hours.
