What Hyvä development actually involves

Building on Hyvä is not the same job as customising Luma. The render pipeline is different, the JavaScript model is different (Alpine.js instead of Knockout), the styling system is different (Tailwind utility classes instead of LESS BEM), and every third-party module on your store needs a Hyvä compatibility shim before it renders correctly.

A serious Hyvä developer ships all of the following on a typical build:

Hyvä Theme installation + brand-system Tailwind config
Header / footer / mega-nav / breadcrumb templating
PDP, PLP, search-results, cart, account, CMS-block templates
Hyvä-compatibility module per paid extension on the store
Lighthouse mobile tuning to 90+ (LCP, CLS, JS budget)
Schema.org Product / Offer / Breadcrumb / FAQPage markup
Cross-browser QA on iOS Safari, Android Chrome, desktop
Pre-launch UAT on staging + a one-shot DNS-cutover plan

Why hire a Hyvä specialist instead of a generalist Magento dev

Hyvä rewards depth. A team that has only shipped two or three Hyvä builds will spend most of your budget Googling the compatibility module pattern and rewriting their own helper utilities. A team that has shipped 50+ will reach for the right Hyvä module on day one, know which extensions ship their own Hyvä compat (and which don't), and recognise the perf footguns before they make it to production.

We are full-time Hyvä, every day. That's the whole offer.

Hyvä Commerce vs Hyvä Theme — which do you need?

Hyvä Theme is the frontend (Tailwind + Alpine templates). Hyvä Commerce is the broader suite — Theme plus the one-page Hyvä Checkout, the modernised customer-account section, and admin dashboards.

Most stores start with Hyvä Theme. Add Hyvä Commerce when your checkout conversion is the bottleneck (the one-page flow consistently lifts mobile completion by 8-15%) or when you want a single coherent design language across the storefront and customer account.

How a typical Hyvä project runs with us

Week 0 — scoping call. 30 minutes. You walk us through the current site, target launch date, and the extensions list. We come back inside 48 hours with a fixed-price, fixed-timeline quote.
Weeks 1-2 — foundation. Hyvä theme install, brand-system Tailwind config, header / footer / nav, design-system component library.
Weeks 3-6 — page templates. PDP, PLP, search, cart, account, CMS blocks. Compatibility modules for every paid extension.
Weeks 7-8 — performance + QA. Lighthouse tuning to 90+ mobile, accessibility pass, cross-browser QA on real devices.
Week 9 — UAT on staging. You and your team run real orders end-to-end. We fix what surfaces.
Week 10 — cutover. Maintenance window, DNS flip, post-launch monitoring for the first 72 hours.

Hyvä development — questions we get asked

What is a Hyvä developer?: A Hyvä developer is a Magento 2 frontend engineer with hands-on experience building stores on the Hyvä Theme stack (Tailwind CSS + Alpine.js), as opposed to legacy Luma / Knockout.js. The skillset overlaps with regular Magento dev, but Hyvä work demands fluency with Tailwind utility-first CSS, Alpine reactivity, the Hyvä module-pattern (themePackage / hyva-themes/), and the dozens of Hyvä Compatibility Modules used to make third-party extensions render under Hyvä.
What does a Hyvä development project include?: A typical Hyvä build includes: theme installation + brand styling against Tailwind tokens, header/footer/PDP/PLP/checkout templating, Hyvä compatibility for every paid extension on the store, performance tuning for Lighthouse 90+ mobile, and a UAT/QA cycle on staging. Hyvä Commerce builds add the full Hyvä Checkout, customer-account suite, and admin dashboards.
How much does Hyvä development cost?: Hyvä migrations typically run £12k–£35k depending on extension count + design fidelity. Hyvä Commerce implementations land in the £35k–£90k range. We quote fixed-price, fixed-timeline scopes after a 30-minute scoping call — no rolling day rates or surprise overruns.
How long does Hyvä development take?: Standard Hyvä theme migrations from Luma take 6-10 weeks. Hyvä Commerce implementations take 10-14 weeks. Custom Hyvä-compatible module work is usually 1-3 weeks per module depending on complexity. We commit to a delivery date upfront and publish weekly progress against it.
What's the difference between Hyvä Theme and Hyvä Commerce?: Hyvä Theme is the frontend layer — Tailwind/Alpine templates replacing Luma's frontend. Hyvä Commerce is the broader suite that bundles Hyvä Theme + Hyvä Checkout + Hyvä Admin + Hyvä Insights. Most merchants start with Theme; Commerce makes sense once you want the one-page checkout and the unified customer-account UX too.
Can you make my paid Magento extensions Hyvä-compatible?: Yes — that's a large share of every migration. Many vendors now ship a Hyvä compatibility module of their own, and we install those first. For extensions without one, we write a custom compatibility module that re-templates the extension's frontend output for the Hyvä render pipeline. We've done this 100+ times across dozens of commercial extensions.
Do I need to switch to Hyvä Commerce, or is Hyvä Theme enough?: Hyvä Theme alone is enough for most merchants — it covers the storefront, PDP, PLP, and cart. You'd add Hyvä Commerce specifically when you want the one-page Hyvä Checkout (replaces the legacy Magento checkout entirely) and the modernised customer-account section. We help you decide based on conversion goals and budget, not the upsell.
