Hyvä for Magento 2

A fresh breeze for theme development

Hyvä is a great step forward for a better performing Magento frontend with reduced complexity as well as improved development experience.

Hyvä Themes is the best alternative for the Luma Magento theme. It’s a set of tools to create a great frontend experience for Magento 2. At its core, Hyvä is built with minimum dependencies – TailwindCSS and AlpineJS.

Why to choose for Hyvä

  • The environment is simpler because Magento is stripped of a great chunk of its codebase, also the theme is a complete rebuild.
  • Hyvä is built with the latest technologies, and correspondingly it is easier to get good page performance scores
  • Development with Hyvä is less time-consuming than building a headless PWA frontend.
  • It uses two dependencies, AplineJS and TailwindCSS which simplify the frontend.

Hyvä for Magento 2

Difference between Hyvä and PWA

With Hyvä the frontend is still connected with the Magento backend. It is not headless, to put it another way, and we are able to use the default functionality of the powerful Magento platform more easily.

Fast out-of-the-box

As a result, with Hyvä installed, the initial page load is already below 1 second. Moreover, with the correct optimization, it is possible to reduce page load time to 500 milliseconds.

Magento extension compatibility

Because Hyvä uses another technology stack third-party modules are not always compatible. Given that, it can require some custom development to make extensions compatible. A list of already compatible extensions can be found here.

The time to market is important

Hyvä development can take place faster than standard Magento or a headless PWA approach. Is Hyvä your solution? That depends. Together we can see what the best approach for your Magento project is.

Switch to Hyvä

Do you consider switching from a ‘traditional’ Magento frontend towards Hyvä? It is crucial, in the first place, to check the most essential functionalities in your webshop, also if there are any custom integrations in the frontend. Together we will do an in-debt analysis of the current webshop and, of course, check what needs to be developed in order to not lose functionality. Additionally, we will create a plan to migrate to Hyvä and can give you an explicit estimation for the project after this first phase.

The future of Magento development?

Performance is becoming a more significant issue in eCommerce nowadays, and Magento does not have the best performance out-of-the-box. We need to spend hours optimizing. With Hyvä it is possible to build on a more modern optimized frontend environment.

 

Working agile to stay in charge

Ecommerce projects are too complex to be done linearly. That is why we divide the estimated timeline into short sprints. We decide which tasks should be done each sprint to build the MVP. This way, you and the team stay in charge when circumstances change and insights evolve. Our Scrum Masters and a dedicated Product Owner lead the process.

The Netherlands and Serbia: working together remote

We work from The Netherlands and Serbia. Same continent, knowledge level, and dedication. Is it nearshoring? Well, you could call it that. We see it as working together on a remote basis. Being always in the same office space to collaborate and be part of a group is so 2000.
Meet the team

  • With testing, code and visual reviews, we monitor the quality of our projects and improve every day.
  • We facilitate everything for a productive team. Equipment, tools, courses and certification.
  • Our employees can connect to internal, external communication channels and to (daily) meetings.
  • We would like to invite you to come to visit offices and get acquainted. Seeing is believing.

This is our roadmap:

Understanding your business

To create an awesome webshop for your customers we need first to understand your business. Know your future plans and determine what functionality your customers expect.

Define a strategy

Our experienced ecommerce consultants will advice the best technical strategy to approach your ecommerce goals. We will advice what tools and headless technology will suit best for your business needs.

Collect project requirements

Together with our project management and scrum master we will define the project scope by creating user stories. During the project the scope can change, but always with keeping an eye on the strategy.

Form the team

Based on the project scope we will form the team that will work on the project. The technical team lead will take care of the tasks together with the team members. We will follow the scrum principles.

Kickoff meeting

A kickoff meeting is more than just the start of a new project. It’s a celebratory moment with everyone who’s involved. Let’s get the project started!

Sprint planning

Working in short sprints makes the project manageable. Giving everyone enough space to maneuver and responsibly deliver what was agreed upon. Thanks to the help of the Scrum framework.

Reviewing and adjusting

Ecommerce development is a process. We collaborate and reflect regularly, ensuring everyone involved stays satisfied and productive. Striving for the perfect lap.
