Why merchants move to Hyvä
The default Magento frontend (Luma) ships a heavy stack of JavaScript — Knockout, RequireJS, jQuery — that holds back load times no matter how good your hosting is. Hyvä replaces it with a lightweight Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js frontend that cuts page weight, shrinks the JavaScript bundle, and lifts Core Web Vitals. For most stores that means dramatically lower Total Blocking Time and faster Largest Contentful Paint — the metrics Google actually ranks on.
We work with Hyvä for three kinds of merchant:
New builds launching on Hyvä from day one — the modern default for a serious Magento 2 store in 2026.
Luma migrations — existing stores moving off the legacy frontend to recover speed and pass Core Web Vitals without replatforming the whole shop.
Customisation and extension — adding features, custom components, or B2B functionality on a store that already runs Hyvä.
What we develop
Custom Hyvä themes
Full Hyvä frontends built from your design — Tailwind components, Alpine.js interactivity, tuned to how your customers actually shop and convert.
Luma to Hyvä migration
Moving an existing storefront off the legacy Luma frontend — rebuilding the theme layer while preserving your catalogue, content and SEO.
Hyvä theme customisation
Reworking an existing Hyvä storefront — new sections, redesigned templates, custom blocks and ongoing frontend work.
Hyvä Checkout development
Custom, single-page checkout flows on Hyvä Checkout — the fast, conversion-focused replacement for the default Magento checkout.
Extension compatibility
Auditing and rebuilding third-party extensions for Hyvä, or wiring in Hyvä-compatible alternatives where a vendor hasn't shipped support.
Hyvä for B2B & Enterprise
Hyvä on Adobe Commerce — company accounts, shared catalogues and B2B workflows on a fast frontend.
What you receive
Every Hyvä engagement ends with a frontend another developer could pick up and maintain. Concretely, that means:
A Hyvä theme on a supported Magento 2.4.x version and PHP 8.3+
Clean, documented Tailwind + Alpine.js code another developer can read
Components built to Hyvä conventions, not copy-pasted hacks
Third-party extensions tested for Hyvä compatibility, end to end
A staging environment and a tested deployment pipeline
A performance baseline — Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals measured before and after
Documentation and a handover session for your team
We don't hand over a black box. The codebase is yours, documented and maintainable — whether you stay with us or take it elsewhere.
What we have built
Real Hyvä work, with the numbers where we have them.
