Add 1 week for staging review + regression QA + the production cutover window. The compatibility audit (step 1) is always 3–5 business days.

Will my Magento extensions still work after Hyvä migration?
Some yes, some need work. Hyvä needs a compat module for each Luma extension to render frontend HTML. Three outcomes per extension:
Vendor ships Hyvä compat — install, done. (Mageplaza, Amasty, Magefan, Mirasvit usually fall here.)
Community compat module exists — install + test.
Custom bridge needed — I rebuild the frontend layer (Tailwind + Alpine partial).
The pre-project audit catalogues every extension on your store and tells you which bucket it’s in. You see the full report before any work starts — no surprises mid-build.

Do you build Hyvä themes from scratch (not just migrations)?
Yes. Roughly 40% of my Hyvä work is new builds — bespoke design from your Figma or brand book, mapped to Tailwind tokens, with a custom child theme that doesn’t fork Hyvä parent. You get a Hyvä storefront that looks nothing like the default and stays upgrade-safe when Hyvä ships new parent releases. Same pricing model as migration: fixed-price quote, blue-green deploy, Lighthouse 90+ guarantee in writing.

Can I see a Hyvä before/after?
Yes — three real cases:
UK fashion retailer (15K SKUs): Lighthouse mobile 38 → 96. LCP 6.2s → 1.4s. +11% AOV, +18% mobile conversion in Q1 post-launch.
US D2C home-goods brand: Lighthouse mobile 41 → 94. INP 612ms → 148ms. +15% checkout conversion, $40K/yr saved by staying on Magento+Hyvä vs. moving to Shopify Plus.
I can share full case studies under NDA on request.

Do you handle the Hyvä module compatibility audit yourself?
Yes — every audit is run by me personally, not handed to a junior. I review each extension on your store against the Hyvä compatibility registry, the vendor’s release notes, and (where needed) the actual module source. You get a written PDF + spreadsheet flagging each extension as compat-ready, bridge-needed, or replace-with-Hyvä-native, with effort estimates per bucket. The audit is yours to keep regardless of who builds the migration — no lock-in.

What’s your Hyvä rate?
I prefer fixed-price projects over hourly — you get a predictable number, I keep the velocity. But for hourly engagements:
Standard hourly: $25/hr
Retainer (10+ hrs/month): $22/hr
Urgent / weekend / overnight: $45/hr
Fixed-price tiers: $499 audit, $4,999 standard migration, custom Enterprise quotes. NDA work is at the same rate — no “NDA tax”.

Do you do NDA-protected Hyvä work?
Yes. Roughly 30% of my Hyvä clients are under NDA — B2B suppliers, healthcare, fintech, brands not wanting competitors to know they’re re-platforming. I’ll sign your NDA before the discovery call. If you don’t have one, I have a standard mutual NDA I can send. NDA work is at the same rate as non-NDA — no premium. Logos / quotes stay out of my portfolio until you say otherwise (or forever).

What’s the smallest Hyvä project you take?
The $499 Hyvä Audit is the entry point. Below that, I’ll point you to community resources — not because I’m too good for small work, but because the audit is genuinely the highest-ROI first step. Once you have the audit report, you can either book the migration with me, take the plan to another developer (no lock-in), or DIY it. For ad-hoc small tasks on an existing Hyvä build (bug fix, single-page customisation, performance tweak) I bill hourly with a 2-hour minimum.
