Switch to Hyvä. Keep everything that makes your Magento store work.
Migrate your Magento 2 frontend to the Hyvä theme without abandoning your platform, data or integrations. Faster load times, better Core Web Vitals and a modern codebase your team can actually work with.
Magento 2 has a performance problem. Hyvä fixes it.
The default Magento 2 frontend is slow. Luma and Blank carry years of technical debt, a heavy JavaScript stack and CSS that was never built for modern performance budgets. Most Magento 2 stores score in the 30s on Lighthouse and fail Core Web Vitals without significant intervention.
Hyvä replaces the entire frontend layer with Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js. No RequireJS, no KnockoutJS, no Luma inheritance chain. The result is a dramatically lighter frontend that lets Magento 2 perform the way it should. Factory Direct Flooring moved from a standard Magento 2 build to Hyvä and hit a PageSpeed score of 100.
A full frontend migration, scoped properly from the start.
Extension compatibility audit
We audit every extension in your Magento 2 stack before we write a line of code, identifying what needs a Hyvä-compatible replacement and what can be rebuilt as a lightweight component.
Tailwind CSS rebuild
All frontend templates are rebuilt from scratch using Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js. No legacy LESS, no Blank theme inheritance, no dead weight carried over from the old stack.
Custom component development
Bespoke UI components built for Hyvä from the ground up. Product pages, filters, navigation, checkout enhancements, anything your store needs that is not covered by standard Hyvä components.
Performance validation
Core Web Vitals, Lighthouse scores and real-device testing at every stage. We do not call a migration done until the numbers back it up.
SEO preservation
Structured data, canonical tags, meta data and internal linking all verified before launch. A frontend change should improve your SEO, not disrupt it.
Phased rollout support
For large stores, we can migrate section by section rather than all at once, reducing risk and letting your team get comfortable with the new frontend before full deployment.
The part of a Hyvä migration that needs the most attention.
Not every Magento 2 extension has a Hyvä-compatible version. Some do, some have partial support, some need to be replaced entirely. We audit your full extension stack before we start and give you a clear picture of what is compatible, what needs replacing and what we will rebuild natively. There are no surprises mid-project because we find them all upfront.
Lighthouse 90+ is the baseline, not the ambition.
Every Hyvä build we deliver is validated against Core Web Vitals and Lighthouse before it goes live. Largest Contentful Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift and Interaction to Next Paint are all measured on real devices, not just in lab conditions. We do not consider a migration complete until the performance numbers back it up.
Common questions about migrating to Hyvä
Hyvä is a Magento 2 frontend theme built on Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js. It replaces the default Luma/Blank theme stack with a significantly lighter, faster frontend. Stores migrating to Hyvä typically see Lighthouse performance scores improve from the 30s to 90 or above, and Core Web Vitals move from failing to passing.
No. Migrating to Hyvä keeps you on Magento 2. You retain all your existing catalogue data, integrations, business logic and backend functionality. You are replacing only the frontend layer, not the entire platform. This makes it a significantly lower-risk change than a full replatform.
Hyvä has a growing ecosystem of compatible extensions and a compatibility report listing them. Many popular extensions already have Hyvä-compatible versions. For those that do not, we either find a suitable replacement or rebuild the functionality as a native Hyvä component. We audit this in detail before any work begins.
For a mid-size store with a standard extension set, typically 8 to 14 weeks. Larger catalogues, complex custom functionality or a significant number of incompatible extensions will extend that timeline. We give you a clear scope at discovery.
Done correctly, it should improve it. Faster page speeds and better Core Web Vitals are positive ranking signals. We carry across all meta data, structured data and canonical tags, and run a full crawl before launch to ensure nothing is disrupted.
Yes. Hyvä works with both Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce. Adobe Commerce builds can also make use of Hyvä Checkout and the broader Hyvä Commerce suite. We scope the migration appropriately depending on which edition you are on.
