Magento is one of the most powerful ecommerce platforms on the market. It's also one of the most commonly mismanaged. Our team members have successfully rolled out Magento solutions for FranklinCovey, NuSkin, Camp Chef, and many others — and we've audited even more stores that were built badly and left their owners paying for it every month.

These are the patterns we find on almost every Magento audit. Each one is a direct hit to your revenue or your operational costs.
Slow Magento stores are almost always a configuration issue — bad hosting environment, unoptimized extensions, or missing caching layers. This is fixable without a full rebuild.
Your Magento developer holds the admin login, server access, and codebase. This is a hostage situation. You should have superadmin access to your own platform, full stop.
Extension sprawl is one of the most common Magento performance killers. Half the extensions on your store may be doing nothing useful while slowing every page load.
Many "Magento 1 to 2 migration" pitches are just a development project sale. We'll tell you honestly whether migration is worth it for your situation — or whether optimization would deliver better ROI.
Magento is a frequent target for attacks and has a regular security patch cycle. An unmaintained store is a liability. We audit your security posture and document exactly where you're exposed.
Magento hosting gets marked up aggressively. We regularly find clients paying 3–5× what appropriate Magento hosting should cost, with no performance benefit to show for it.
We doubled conversion rates on a Magento 2 rebuild for a Utah client by focusing on what the data said — not what looked impressive in a proposal. If your Magento store isn't performing, there's a specific reason. We'll find it.
Find My Magento Issues →From full platform audits to developer oversight to migration strategy — we provide the technical leadership your Magento store needs to perform at its best.
Performance, security, extension quality, code standards, hosting configuration, and admin access audit. You get a complete picture of where things stand and exactly what needs attention.
Caching, CDN configuration, database optimization, image optimization, and extension pruning. We've seen Magento load times cut by 60%+ through configuration alone — no rewrite needed.
Honest assessment of whether migration is right for you, followed by careful execution that protects your SEO authority and doesn't require rebuilding your entire catalog.
Is your Magento developer actually doing good work? We review code quality, billing practices, and deliverables — and give you an honest assessment of whether they're the right partner.
Security patch review, admin URL hardening, two-factor authentication, malware scan, and ongoing security monitoring. Magento security isn't optional.
We manage your Magento developer or agency on your behalf — holding them to scope, timeline, and quality standards so you don't have to speak fluent PHP to get good outcomes.
Our team has deep Magento roots — Magento 1, Magento 2, custom extensions, complex integrations, and enterprise-scale migrations. We know this platform at a level most consultants don't reach.
Our team members have successfully delivered for FranklinCovey, NuSkin, Camp Chef, and many others — complex integrations with ERP systems, custom checkout flows, and high-volume catalog management at scale.
Having built so many stores, we know exactly what corners developers cut, what billing practices to watch for, and what red flags in code indicate a developer who's not doing the job.
Every Magento project we're involved in ends with you holding full admin access, hosting control, and codebase ownership. No exceptions, no ongoing leverage.
Magento Open Source (CE) — Community edition audits, configuration, optimization.
Adobe Commerce (EE) — Enterprise edition strategy and oversight.
Magento 1 End-of-Life — Honest migration assessment and security hardening for stores that haven't moved yet.
Magento Integrations — Workday, SAP, Salesforce, NetSuite, custom ERP and fulfillment integrations.
No bloated retainers. No endless discovery phases. A focused four-step process that delivers real value from the first conversation.
We talk about what's frustrating you and what you've already tried. You'll leave with clarity regardless of whether we engage.
We examine your vendors, code, analytics, ad accounts, and processes — and document what we find in plain language.
Prioritized action plan. Specific goals. Measurable outcomes. Written so your whole team understands it — not just the technical people.
We manage execution, track results against the metrics we set together, and report the truth — no vanity numbers.
Our team members have successfully rolled out solutions and projects for some of the most demanding organizations in Utah and beyond — and many more.
Synapse Storm is an elite group of highly talented people with skills spanning business consulting through to technical implementation, management, and follow-up of everything web and ecommerce. Think of us as a team that provides you with a Chief Technical Officer — without the executive price tag.
We don't staff projects with juniors. Every engagement gets senior-level thinking from people who have built, shipped, and scaled at the highest levels.
Demand for our services is high and we do maintain waiting lists for some market segments. We're selective about the partnerships we take on — because the only engagements worth doing are ones where we can deliver measurable results.
Feel free to reach out and let's see if we're a good match. A great fit on both sides is the only way this works.
Check Availability →"I could not give a stronger recommendation. Extremely competent while taking initiative on their own to make good things happen. They take full ownership of all tasks in a punctual, competent, and absolutely reliable manner."
"After an exhaustive vetting process, NuEthic emerged far above any others. They met and exceeded our expectations at every point. The single most reliable and client-friendly development firm I have ever worked with."
"Jared wanted to explore all options before arriving at no — and even then gave a reason everyone on my team could understand. An expert who never comes from a place of superiority. I would not hesitate to work with him."
Our team has worked across nearly every stage of business — from a napkin concept to a nine-figure acquisition. The problems change at every stage, but the need for honest, experienced technical guidance never does.
Turning an idea into a viable technical roadmap before a dollar is spent. We help founders separate what needs to be built from what sounds exciting — and give you real cost estimates before you commit.
Speed matters, but shortcuts in your technical foundation cost double later. We help startups move fast and build right — establishing code ownership, clean data architecture, and vendor independence from day one.
Small doesn't mean you deserve worse service or less accountability from your vendors. We level the playing field — giving small business owners the same technical oversight and vendor scrutiny that enterprise companies take for granted.
You've validated demand and raised capital — now you need to build without blowing your budget on the wrong technical decisions. We help crowdfunded founders make smart, scalable choices before momentum stalls.
You've got investment and a spotlight — which means your technical infrastructure needs to match your pitch. We help funded companies build credibly, audit existing systems for investor due diligence, and scale without embarrassing surprises.
You've outgrown your original tech decisions and the cracks are showing. We audit what you have, identify what's holding back growth, and build a prioritized roadmap to scale without breaking everything that's already working.
Large organizations often have the biggest vendor accountability gaps — contracts are big enough that vendors get comfortable. We provide the independent technical oversight that internal teams are too close to the politics to deliver.
You've acquired a business and inherited its tech debt, mystery vendors, and undocumented systems. We rapidly assess what you own, what's worth keeping, and what needs to change — before it becomes your liability.
When two companies combine forces, their technology needs to work together. We assess technical compatibility, identify integration risks, and help structure agreements that protect both sides' digital assets from day one.
Is your agency, developer, or technology partner actually delivering value? We provide independent cross-partner technical reviews — the honest assessments that internal teams are too close to the relationship to give you.
Leadership change, rapid growth, market shift, or platform migration — transitional moments expose technical vulnerabilities fast. We help you navigate without losing SEO authority, data continuity, or vendor control.
The project went sideways. The vendor disappeared. The launch destroyed your rankings. We've seen it all — honest triage, root cause analysis, and a recovery plan that fixes the actual problem, not just the symptoms.
Regardless of where you are, the engagement looks the same: we start with an honest conversation, diagnose before we prescribe, and measure every outcome against the goals we set together at the start. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you that too.
Let's See If We're a Match →The first conversation is free. We'll tell you what we think — no sales pitch, no fluff. Just 15 years of experience and no agenda other than giving you accurate information.
