Your Magento store is slow because Luma is slow. Hyvä fixes that, but only if it is built by a team that knows the framework properly. KiwiCommerce is an official Hyvä Bronze Partner, one of a small number of UK agencies to hold that status. We build Hyvä from scratch and migrate Luma stores without downtime, SEO damage, or data loss.
Hyvä done well reaches Lighthouse scores above 90. Hyvä done poorly reaches scores not much better than Luma. The difference is whether the developer actually knows the framework or is learning it on your project. As an official Hyvä Bronze Partner, our team has built Hyvä correctly, and that status was awarded by Hyvä.io, not claimed by us.
Get In TouchWe audit your existing Magento store before agreeing a timeline. Extension conflicts are identified and resolved before migration starts, not discovered mid-project.
We have hands-on experience with Hyvä Commerce (released 2025), which extends Hyvä into a full eCommerce suite. Few UK agencies have worked with it yet.
Our founder holds Magento Master status, awarded to fewer than 60 developers globally by Adobe. Hyvä sits within Magento's architecture; you cannot build it well without a deep understanding of Magento.
We do not consider a Hyvä project complete until the Lighthouse score reflects what the framework is designed to achieve. Performance is a deliverable, not a by-product.
Magento's default Luma theme was built on RequireJS, KnockoutJS, and jQuery a frontend stack designed in 2015. A typical Luma page loads 200 to 300 JavaScript and CSS files. A Hyvä page loads around ten. That is why Luma scores 20–50 on Google Lighthouse, while Hyvä-built sites score 90 and above.
Hyvä replaces Luma entirely with Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js. As of November 2025, the framework is fully open-source. What costs money is implementing it correctly because a poor Hyvä migration can break extensions, damage SEO rankings, and slow a store down rather than speeding it up.
As an official Hyvä Bronze Partner, we are one of a small number of UK agencies whose Hyvä delivery experience has been verified by Hyvä.io directly. We have built Hyvä stores from scratch, migrated complex Luma stores, and worked with Hyvä Commerce since its 2025 release.
A luxury bed retailer saw measurable conversion improvements after we rebuilt their Magento frontend on Hyvä. Performance recovery at this level follows from building the framework correctly, not approximately.
Discuss Your Project3+ Experience Years
Suitable for smaller Magento stores moving from Luma to Hyvä with a straightforward extension stack. Works under senior oversight on Hyvä theme builds, basic UI customisation, and standard extension compatibility checks. Best suited to stores that need a clean, fast Hyvä frontend without complex custom functionality behind it.
5+ Experience Years
For mid-sized Magento stores with more involved requirements. Handles bespoke Hyvä theme builds, custom UI component development, and complex Luma migration work, including third-party module compatibility. Works independently and makes sound decisions about how to implement Hyvä within your existing store architecture.
7+ Experience Years
Enterprise-level Hyvä work on Adobe Commerce builds, including Hyvä Commerce implementation, complex multi-store configuration, advanced performance tuning, and migration of large stores with significant custom module stacks. These developers have built Hyvä at scale and know where the real edge cases sit before they arrive.
7+ Experience Years
Focused specifically on Luma-to-Hyvä migration projects. Carries out a thorough pre-migration audit, maps module compatibility against Hyvä's requirements, plans the migration in stages to reduce risk, and executes without downtime or SEO damage. For stores with a complex setup, this is the specialism that removes the most project risk.
5+ Experience Years
For stores already on Hyvä that are not hitting the scores they should. Audits the existing Hyvä implementation, identifies what is holding performance back, and carries out targeted fixes. Understands the difference between a server-side bottleneck and a frontend issue in Hyvä's Alpine.js or Tailwind layer, and fixes the correct one.
7+ Experience Years
For large Hyvä projects that need proper technical planning before the build begins. Designs which components to build custom, which Hyvä packages to use, how to handle module compatibility, and how to structure the build for long-term maintainability. Reduces risk at the planning stage, the most cost-effective point to catch problems.
What's Included When You Hire From Us
Custom Hyvä storefronts built on a clean foundation, designed to your brand on Magento 2 or Adobe Commerce. No Luma legacy code carried over. No starter templates with your colours applied on top. The codebase is written for your store and documented so that any developer can continue it.
Full migration of an existing Magento store from Luma to Hyvä, including pre-migration audit, extension compatibility work, and staged migration through a non-live environment before anything touches the production store. You review and approve before going live. No surprises on the day.
Hyvä Commerce extends Hyvä into a complete eCommerce suite with an improved checkout, CMS tooling, and a full component library. Released in 2025, it remains a niche specialism. Our team has hands-on experience building with it, one of the very few UK agencies that can say the same.
Most Magento extensions were built for Luma. Some work with Hyvä natively, some need a compatibility module, and some need custom work. We identify exactly which category each of your extensions falls into before migration starts, and resolve every one of them before go-live.
For Hyvä stores that are not hitting the scores they should be. We audit your existing implementation, identify the specific bottlenecks, whether frontend asset loading, Alpine.js component weight, or server response time and carry out targeted fixes rather than a generic pass.
Ongoing maintenance, framework updates, extension compatibility checks, and new feature development for stores already on Hyvä. Currently, we support over 100 live Magento and Hyvä stores on retainers. The same team that built your store looks after it after launch.
These points are specific to our Hyvä practice. Each one includes a credential, a named process, or a result that backs the claim not assertions any agency can make without evidence.
KiwiCommerce holds official Hyvä Bronze Partner status, awarded by Hyvä.io based on verified delivery experience with the framework. This is not a self-declared credential or a directory listing. It is recognition from the team that built Hyvä, confirming our developers know how to implement it correctly.
The most common reason Hyvä migrations fail or overrun is extension incompatibility discovered after the migration has started. We carry out a full compatibility audit before agreeing on a timeline, identifying which extensions need a Hyvä module, which need custom work, and what that resolves to in scope and cost.
Hyvä Commerce, the full eCommerce suite extending Hyvä Theme was released in 2025. Very few UK agencies have built with it yet. Our team has hands-on delivery experience with it, which means we can advise honestly on whether Hyvä Theme or Hyvä Commerce is the right starting point for your store.
Our founder holds Magento Master recognition, awarded by Adobe to fewer than 60 developers globally. Hyvä is built inside Magento's architecture, you cannot implement it correctly without understanding that architecture in depth. That knowledge shapes every Hyvä build our team takes on.
We work as the white-label Hyvä partner for digital agencies across the UK. Your client sees your name throughout. No KiwiCommerce references in code, commits, or documentation. NDAs are signed before any work begins on every engagement, with no exceptions and no renegotiation on confidentiality.
Hyvä migrations carry real risk when they are not properly scoped. We agree on the scope, delivery stages, and go-live date in writing before any development begins. For migration projects, this happens after the pre-migration audit, so the timeline reflects the actual work involved, not an optimistic estimate.

Hyvä is a modern frontend framework for Magento 2 that replaces the default Luma theme. Luma loads 200 or more JavaScript and CSS files per page. Hyvä loads around ten. That difference is why Luma stores typically score 20–50 on Lighthouse, while Hyvä stores built properly score above 90. Faster load times mean better rankings and more completed purchases.
Hyvä Theme replaces Luma on Magento 2. Hyvä Commerce, released in 2025, extends that into a broader eCommerce suite with an improved checkout, CMS tools, and a full component library. If you are migrating from Luma, Hyvä Theme is the starting point. If you are undertaking a significant rebuild, Hyvä Commerce may be the better foundation. We advise on this once we understand your situation.
It carries real risk if not handled properly. The most common problem is extension incompatibility. Most Magento extensions were built for Luma; some work with Hyvä natively, some need a compatibility module, and some need custom work. Our process starts with a full compatibility audit before migration begins, which removes the biggest source of risk before work starts.
A straightforward store with a manageable number of standard extensions can be migrated in four to eight weeks. Stores with significant custom module stacks or complex checkout implementations take longer, sometimes twelve weeks or more. We carry out a pre-migration audit first, which gives an accurate timeline based on the actual work involved, not an estimate.
Not all of them work out of the box. Most popular Magento extensions now have official Hyvä compatibility modules. Less common or highly customised extensions may need additional work. Our pre-migration audit identifies exactly which of your extensions fall into each category and what the resolution looks like for each one, before any migration work begins.
A properly built Hyvä theme achieves 90 or above on mobile for standard store pages. Many of our builds reach 95 and above on product and category pages. The qualification is that the backend also needs to be well-configured, a slow server response will still cap what the frontend achieves. We assess both when we take on a Hyvä project.
Yes. KiwiCommerce holds official Hyvä Bronze Partner status, awarded by Hyvä.io based on verified delivery experience with the framework, not self-declared expertise. Partner tiers are based on documented project delivery. As one of a small number of official Hyvä partner agencies in the UK, we are well placed to advise on whether Hyvä is right for your store.
Yes. Retainer-based support is available covering ongoing maintenance, Hyvä framework updates, extension compatibility checks, and new feature development. Currently, we support over 100 live Magento and Hyvä stores on retainers. The same certified team who built your store continues looking after it, with no handover to a different support team.
Our UK-based Hyvä team is ready to look at your project. Whether you are building a new Hyvä store or migrating from Luma, get in touch today. We will come back within one business day with an honest assessment and a clear proposal.
