Migrating from Magento 1 to 2 - Can anyone recommend a freelancer or company to do this?

I am currently running magento 1.9.4.5. I want to migrate to magento 2. Can anyone recommend a freelancer or company to do this without it costing a small fortune?

 

I am getting quotes in the region of £2000 which is way too much.

 

An Indian company called magecomp is advertising the service for just $348:

Has anyone tried the 'do it yourself' methods such as cart2cart:

Any advice would be appreciated.

I don't personally know anyone in that price range that can migrate you from Magento 1 to Magento 2.

 

What services like Cart2Cart and the MageComp service you linked to typically include is data migration. 

 

Most sites still need a lot of other steps completed in order to migrate from M1 to M2. A hosting environment that's compatible with Magento 2 needs to be set up. You need to install Magento 2. If you need any extra features, you must install Magento 2 Extensions (in some cases, you need to buy licenses for these) or have a developer write custom code. Unless you want the base Luma theme that comes with Magento 2 looking "out of the box", you'll need to work on the theme/design too.

 

Ultimately, you need to test everything and point your domain to the new Magento 2 store.

 

Since extensions and themes don't simply migrate over through an automated process, there's typically manual development work involved. It's definitely more of a migration than an upgrade.

 

That being said, if you don't need any theme work, extensions installed, etc. you may be able to find a sharper price, but I was surprised you got a quote as low as £2000. Thinking about the average number of hours for a project like this, it feels like a very low hourly rate for a good Magento developer.

 

I know it's not exactly the information you were hoping for, but this may give you some insight into what to look out for as you look for more quotes.

 

Here's a quick guide that can shed more light on some of the additional steps I mentioned: https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/560742/Magento%202%20Migration%20Guide.pdf

 

Best of luck!
