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 Expert — Magento Commerce Developer (current, renewed 2023).
• 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, I keep the velocity. But for hourly engagements:

• Standard hourly: $65/hr
• Retainer (10+ hrs/month): $55/hr
• Urgent / weekend / overnight: $95/hr

Fixed-price tiers: $499 audit, $4,999 standard migration, custom Enterprise quotes. NDA work is at the same rate — 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.
