How do you handle legacy Magento 1 sites?

We don't always recommend a full re-platform. We can 'strangle' the legacy monolith by slowly moving key features (checkout, search, catalog) to modern microservices while keeping the core running, ensuring zero downtime.

Do we need to go Headless?

Not always. Headless offers flexibility but adds complexity. We perform a TCO analysis to see if a decoupled frontend (React/Next.js) actually drives enough ROI to justify the maintenance cost for your specific business.

What is 'Hybrid Modernization'?

It's our pragmatic approach where we mix stable legacy tech (for boring back-office tasks) with cutting-edge AI and heavy frontend interactivity (for customer-facing growth), giving you stability and innovation simultaneously.

Architecture and Development

Architecture That Pays for Itself

Bad architecture works against you—draining your budget and slowing your team. Good architecture works for you. We help Twin Cities businesses lower their Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and accelerate Time to Market.

The Cost of Bad Code

“Every new feature takes twice as long as expected. We spend 80% of our budget just ‘keeping the lights on’ and fixing bugs, leaving no room for innovation.”

The Evaporate IT Advantage

We build stable, scalable systems that reduce maintenance overhead. By refactoring or replacing fragile legacy code, we flip the ratio—so you spend nearly 100% of your budget on growth.
