Hire a Hyvä Magento Developer

Fixed-price, no per-hour billing:

• Hyvä Audit, $499. Written compatibility report + migration plan. 3-5 days.
• Hyvä Migration, from $4,999. Full Luma→Hyvä port with up to 20 extension bridges + Hyvä Checkout. 2-6 weeks.
• Enterprise, custom quote. Multi-store, B2B, ERP integration, headless options. 6-12 weeks.

Hyvä licence (€1,000 one-time or €100/yr) is paid directly to Hyvä Themes, pass-through, no markup.

Typical timelines from kick-off to live:

• Lightly customised theme, < 10 extensions: 2-3 weeks
• Custom design, up to 20 extensions: 4-6 weeks
• Heavy customisation, B2B, multi-store: 8-12 weeks

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

Some yes, some need work. Hyvä needs a compat module for each Luma extension to render frontend HTML. Three outcomes per extension:

1. Vendor ships Hyvä compat, install, done. (Mageplaza, Amasty, Magefan, Mirasvit usually fall here.)
2. Community compat module exists, install + test.
3. 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.

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.

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.
• B2B industrial supplier (DE): Lighthouse desktop 52 → 98. TTFB 1.8s → 280ms. −47% quote-request drop-off.
• 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.

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.

Yes to both:

• Adobe Certified Professional, Adobe Commerce Developer (2021).
• Hyvä specialist, active in the Hyvä community since 2022, shipped 25+ production Hyvä builds.
• Top Rated Plus on Upwork (5.0 score, 100+ Magento reviews).

Hyvä Themes BV doesn’t (yet) have a formal “certified Hyvä developer” programme, but I’m on the Hyvä partner directory and have direct contact with the Hyvä core team for edge cases.

I prefer fixed-price projects over hourly: you get a predictable number and I keep the pace up. For hourly work:

• Standard hourly: $25/hr
• Retainer (10+ hrs/week): $25/hr, from $999/month
• Urgent, weekend or overnight: $50/hr

Fixed-price tiers: $499 audit, $4,999 standard migration, custom Enterprise quotes. NDA work is at the same rate, with no “NDA tax”.

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).

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.
