Hyva theme development

A faster Magento storefront, built on Hyva

If your Magento store feels heavy on a phone and your PageSpeed score will not budge, the frontend is usually the reason. The old Luma theme carries a lot of JavaScript that most shoppers never need. Hyva strips that out, and we rebuild your storefront on it so pages load fast and your Core Web Vitals finally pass.

Why people look at Hyva

The store works, but it feels slow on a phone

Most people who come to us about Hyva are not unhappy with their products or their catalog. They are unhappy with how the store feels. You open your own site on your phone, it takes a moment too long to draw, and you wonder how many customers gave up before it finished.

Then there is the report from your marketing person that says Google PageSpeed is in the red, and the Core Web Vitals will not pass no matter what gets tweaked. The trouble is the default Luma frontend. It leans on Knockout and RequireJS and ships a large amount of JavaScript to every page, and there is only so far you can optimize that before you are fighting the framework itself.

What Hyva actually is

A lighter frontend built for Magento 2

Hyva is a modern frontend framework for Magento 2 and Adobe Commerce. It is built on Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js, and it leaves out the heavy Knockout and RequireJS layer that the old theme depends on. In plain terms, that means a lot less JavaScript reaching the browser, somewhere around eighty percent less, and pages that draw and respond faster.

The numbers we see on the work we ship tell the same story. A Lighthouse mobile score above 95, page loads in the region of three times faster, and Core Web Vitals that move from failing to passing. If your reason for looking at Hyva is a green PageSpeed score, this is the most direct way there, without rebuilding the rest of your store.

What we do

Five ways we work on Hyva

Pick the one that matches where you are. We will tell you which fits after the audit.

Custom Hyva theme

A theme built from scratch on Hyva, with Tailwind markup and Alpine.js for the interactive parts, shaped around your brand and the way your store sells.

Luma to Hyva migration

We rebuild your existing Luma theme on Hyva and keep your custom features and admin behaviour working, so you gain the speed without losing what you already rely on.

UX and UI redesign

A mobile-first redesign done specifically for Hyva, faithful to your brand and built to stay Lighthouse-friendly rather than bolted on afterwards.

Managed Hyva support

Ongoing care for a Hyva store: monitoring, patches, performance tuning, content and extension updates. For stores that do not keep a Hyva developer in house.

Hyva-compliant extensions

Custom extensions and integrations that run natively on Hyva, with no Knockout, no RequireJS, and none of the fallback compatibility patches that slow things back down.

How a project runs

From the first call to launch

You are part of the work the whole way, and nothing big happens without your sign-off.

We learn your store

We sit down with you, look at your current shop, its speed, your Core Web Vitals scores and your goals, and turn that into a plan you can read.

We plan the build with you

We map out the components and the structure of the Hyva store together. We do not move on to building until you have approved that plan.

We design and build it

Our team builds your Hyva storefront to the design you signed off, and you watch it take shape rather than wait in the dark.

We test, then launch

Once everything is built and checked in house, we run it through cross-browser, device and Lighthouse testing, then launch with monitoring and stay on for support.

Why us

Hyva is not new ground for us

We have shipped more than forty Hyva themes, and we have worked on Magento since 2009. That matters because a Hyva build is not just a new coat of paint. It touches your extensions, your custom features and the way your admin behaves, and someone who has done it forty times knows where those things tend to break.

So the audit is genuinely useful, not a sales call. We look at your current Magento, check how Hyva-compatible each of your extensions is, and come back with a plan and a fixed price. You can also ask us to put a Hyva preview on a staging copy of your store, usually within one to two weeks, so you feel the speed for yourself before you commit to the full move.

Questions

What people ask before they start

Why pick Hyva over the theme I have now?

Speed, mostly. Hyva has a lean architecture and ships far less JavaScript than the standard Luma theme, which is why stores chasing a good PageSpeed score and passing Core Web Vitals keep landing on it. If your store feels slow on mobile, this is usually the fix.

Will my current extensions still work?

In most cases yes. A lot of extension makers have updated their products to run on Hyva. We check every extension you use during the free audit and tell you where it stands, so there are no surprises after the new theme goes on.

Can I see Hyva on my own store before I commit?

Yes. We can put a Hyva preview on a staging copy of your store, which usually takes one to two weeks, so you can feel the speed and the new experience before you decide on the full migration.

How long does it take?

It depends on the route. A migration from an existing Luma theme is roughly four to eight weeks. A custom Hyva theme from scratch is about six to ten weeks. A full UX and UI redesign on Hyva is around eight to twelve weeks. We lock the exact timeline after the audit.

What about my data and privacy?

We can sign an NDA on request, and we reply to enquiries within a day. The audit costs nothing and there is no obligation after it.
