Hire a Hyvä Magento Developer

I’m a Hyvä Magento developer you hire directly. There is no agency or project manager in between: the person you brief is the person who writes the code. I’m Adobe Certified Professional (Adobe Commerce Developer, 2021), I’ve worked on 200+ Magento stores, and 25+ of those were Hyvä builds. Every project starts with a written compatibility audit, so you see the cost and the risks before any code is written. Launches are blue-green, I’m happy to sign an NDA, and the Lighthouse 90+ floor goes in the contract.

Why Hyvä matters

Why I move Magento stores to Hyvä

Hyvä is a newer frontend for Magento built on Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js. It drops KnockoutJS, RequireJS and most of the jQuery that Luma loads. Luma struggles to reach Lighthouse 90+ however much hardware you give it, because the problem is the amount of JavaScript in the browser, not the server. Hyvä rebuilds the templates and the JavaScript from scratch.

The numbers, on real stores I’ve migrated: mobile Lighthouse from the 30-50 range up to 90-98, LCP from 4-7 seconds down to 1.4-1.8 seconds, INP from 400-800ms down to 100-200ms. Core Web Vitals goes green by default, not after months of consultant tuning. Google rewards that, both with rankings (page-experience signal) and with conversion (every 100ms of LCP improvement is worth roughly 1% revenue, per the SOASTA studies and replicated across my own client data).

The 2025 release of Adobe Commerce 2.4.9 ships Hyvä Checkout natively. A store still on Luma is carrying a slower frontend than it needs to, and peak season is when that shows most.

My part is specific: I take stores from Luma to Hyvä without losing data, without breaking integrations, and without quoting blind. Every project starts with a written compatibility audit and every quote is a fixed price. Launches are blue-green, so a rollback is a 30-second DNS change. The Lighthouse 90+ floor is written into the contract.

What I deliver

Six things I do as a Hyvä Magento developer

Pick the one that fits where your store is now. Each has a written scope and a fixed price, and I do the work myself.

  • Hyvä migration from Luma

    I rebuild your Luma theme on Hyvä, sort out extension compatibility, set up Hyvä Checkout and launch with a blue-green deploy. It takes 2 to 6 weeks depending on the store, with Lighthouse 90+ in the contract.

  • Hyvä theme customization

    A Hyvä child theme built from your Figma files or brand book. I map your colours and type to Tailwind tokens and change components without forking the parent theme.

  • Hyvä compatibility audit

    Before any migration, I list every module on your store and mark it as ready, needs a compatibility module, or needs replacing. You get the written report and can take it to any developer.

  • Hyvä Checkout customization

    The one-page Alpine.js checkout, connected to Adyen, Stripe, Klarna, Mollie or Razorpay. I add custom shipping rules, gift cards, B2B purchase orders or extra steps without slowing it down.

  • Hyvä performance audit

    For a store already on Hyvä that still feels slow. I check Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals, third-party scripts, images and INP, then write a fixed-price report and a 2-week sprint to fix what I find.

  • Hyvä maintenance & retainer

    After launch I fix bugs, run a Lighthouse check each month, and handle Magento and Hyvä upgrades, extension updates and security patches. Monthly retainer or pay as you go.

My process

Five steps from your brief to a live Hyvä store

Discovery, audit, plan, build, launch. I follow the same steps for 100 SKUs or 100,000, and anything that changes the price is agreed in writing first.

  1. 01

    Discovery call

    A free 30-minute call. I look at your store beforehand, you tell me what is wrong, and I ask about extensions, integrations and hosting.

    Day 1
  2. 02

    Compatibility audit

    A written compatibility audit and risk list. Every module is marked ready, needs a compatibility module, or needs replacing. The report is yours whatever you decide next.

    Days 2 to 4
  3. 03

    Migration plan + quote

    A fixed-price quote, a reserved start date and a day-by-day plan, with the risky items called out. You sign it off before I write any code.

    Day 5
  4. 04

    Build on staging

    I install Hyvä, port the theme, add compatibility modules and set up Hyvä Checkout on staging. You can check the staging URL every day and see every commit.

    Days 6 to 24
  5. 05

    Blue-green launch

    The Hyvä theme runs next to Luma until the switch, which takes under 30 seconds at DNS or load balancer level. Luma stays ready for 72 hours, and I fix bugs for 14 days after launch.

    Launch + 14 days

FAQ

Honest answers to the Hyvä developer questions everyone asks

How much does a Hyvä migration cost?

Pricing is a fixed written quote for your scope. Send the details on WhatsApp and I reply within one working day.

Fixed-price, no per-hour billing:

  • Hyvä Audit, Written compatibility report + migration plan. 3-5 days.
  • Hyvä Migration, 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.

How long does a Hyvä migration take?

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.

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:

  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.

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.
  • 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.

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.

Are you Hyvä-certified? Are you Adobe-certified?

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.

What’s your Hyvä rate?

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

  • Every project gets a fixed written quote. Send a short brief on WhatsApp and I reply within one working day with scope, price and timeline.
  • Contact me for a quote.
  • Urgent, weekend or overnight: $50/hr

Contact me for a quote. NDA work is at the same rate, with 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?

Pricing is a fixed written quote for your scope. Send the details on WhatsApp and I reply within one working day. 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.
