Three situations we encounter every day.

Why choose a Hyvä partner?

  • Your store is slow on mobile

    Your Magento store loads slowly on mobile, and that’s exactly where most of your traffic comes from. A lighter front end reduces the load without requiring you to make any changes to your back end or product data.

  • Every change to your theme takes too much time

    A small tweak to your theme takes days because the code has become cluttered over the years. With a more organized codebase, further development moves faster, and everyone feels confident making changes again.

  • You’re scoring poorly on Core Web Vitals

    Google evaluates you based on load time and stability, and that affects your search visibility. Improving your Core Web Vitals is therefore not just a technical exercise but a business one.

Hyvä as the engine behind your Magento frontend

Magento excels at what it does behind the scenes: customer-group-specific pricing, large product catalogs, and integrations with your other systems. Where it struggles is with the weight of the default frontend.

Hyvä is the engine that solves that. It replaces the frontend with a much lighter one, without affecting your backend or your data. For your visitors, that means faster pages; for your developers, it means a codebase where making a change doesn’t take days.

You keep your platform. This isn’t a migration to something else; it’s the same Magento with a front end that can keep up.

What We Do with Hyvä

We start by identifying where your speed is currently being held back: the theme, the extensions, or the hosting. Simply replacing the theme won’t fix a slow server, and we’ll tell you that before we even begin.

Next, we take stock of your extensions. Some have a Hyvä version, others don’t, and that determines whether making the switch now is wise or if you’re better off waiting. That outcome can sometimes be disappointing, and it’s better to know it upfront.

Next, we rebuild the front end, tailored to your brand identity and your conversion goals. After going live, we measure the results again so you can see the actual impact rather than just taking our word for it.

Why choose Redkiwi as your Hyvä partner?

  • You’ll see the results for yourself

    You’ll see your load times before and after, and how each adjustment contributed to the results. Every month, we’ll review this together, and you’ll decide where to focus our efforts. You remain in control of the business strategy; we’ll ensure the technology supports it.

  • Independent advice

    If your business relies on extensions that aren’t available in the Hyvä version, we recommend waiting. A faster front end that sacrifices a feature you rely on to sell your product isn’t progress.

  • Frontend, backend, and hosting all under one roof

    We build the Magento backend, handle the hosting, and run the campaigns, so we can pinpoint the true source of any slowness. You’ll work with a dedicated specialist who knows your platform.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hyvä

01/ What exactly is Hyvä?
Hyvä is a front end for Magento, built as an alternative to the default theme. It’s much lighter, which means pages load faster and the code is easier to maintain. Your backend and your data remain Magento as usual.
02/ Will this really make my Magento store faster?
Usually, yes, and you’ll see that reflected in your Core Web Vitals. Exactly how much depends on your current theme, your hosting, and your images. We’ll measure your baseline before we start, so you’ll know afterward what the results were.
03/ Does my entire online store need to be rebuilt?
It’s a new front end, so you’ll be rebuilding your design from scratch. Your products, customers, and orders will remain intact. The amount of work involved depends on how much customization is in your current theme, and we’ll assess that in advance.
04/ Will my current extensions work with Hyvä?
Some of the extensions have a Hyvä version, while others do not. That’s the first thing we’ll figure out, because whether a specific extension is available will determine whether switching now is a good idea or if you’re better off waiting.
