Hyvä is a growing ecosystem in the Magento space. Releasing new and improved modules to optimise Magento's frontend performance and overall experience.
The terms Hyvä Themes, Hyvä Enterprise, Hyvä UI and Hyvä Commerce refer to different aspects of the Hyvä ecosystem, which is focused on providing a modern, high-performance frontend solution for Magento 2 stores. Here's a breakdown of each:
1. Hyvä Themes
What is Hyvä Themes?
This is the foundation of the Hyvä ecosystem. It serves as the starting point or template for customising Magento builds. It's a lightweight theme designed to be easily extended and customised for merchants' requirements, improving the experience from its predecessor, Luma.
Focus: Hyvä Themes provides the foundation that developers can build upon. It is minimalistic, but has all the necessary integrations for the modern frontend stack.
Use Case: Developers use Hyvä Themes as a base to create a custom storefront with Magento. It comes with templates, components, and features that allow businesses to tailor their frontend experience while keeping things lightweight and performance-oriented.
Our Experience: Hyvä Themes has revolutionised frontend development with Magento.
2. Hyvä Enterprise
What is Hyvä Enterprise?
Enterprise is a more advanced offering that is compatible with crucial features from Adobe Commerce. This enables support for larger, enterprise-level businesses while still providing the benefits of Hyvä elements such as Hyvä UI and Checkout.
Focus: The enterprise version provides extra features and tools for scalability, advanced customisations, dedicated support, and optimisations that are needed for large Magento installations. It is tailored for businesses that require more robust solutions, additional performance enhancements, or custom integrations.
Use Case: Although Hyvä themes supports B2B, Hyvä Enterprise is optimised for these merchants providing dedicated support, scalability, and advanced features for their Magento storefronts. It's designed for larger businesses with more complex needs that go beyond the standard Hyvä Theme offering.
3. Hyvä UI
What is Hyvä UI?
Hyvä UI is fairly new, but key part of the Hyvä frontend solution that focuses specifically on the user interface (UI) components of a Magento 2 store. It is a collection of reusable, pre-built UI components that are designed to enhance the design to development process, allowing developers to quickly create modern, interactive, and high-performance designs. These components are styled with Tailwind CSS, ensuring a flexible, utility-first approach to design.
Focus: Hyvä UI is centered around providing a smooth, consistent, and efficient user experience by offering ready-made UI components like buttons, forms, modals, navigation, and more. It aims to streamline frontend development by providing components that can be easily integrated into custom themes or layouts and stylised to fit the clients brand.
Use Case: Developers use Hyvä UI when building custom Magento 2 stores or themes. It helps to quickly implement complex UI elements with minimal CSS or JavaScript, improving efficiency and the overall user experience. It’s particularly beneficial for those who want to maintain consistency and avoid reinventing basic UI elements for every project.
Our Experience: We've found the Hyvä UI components useful when designing Hyvä projects in Figma. We've utilised the premade components and tweaked them to the client's styles. This has made design processes quicker and streamlined handover to developers, giving them a solid base to work from.
4. Hyvä Commerce
What is Hyvä Commerce?
Hyvä Commerce is suite for all things Hyvä. Teaming up with Mollie Payments as a strategic partner, Hyvä are developing a product suite designed to enhance the capabilities and scalability of the Magento Open Source platform. They're introducing modern admin panel features and enhanced CMS capabilities, aimed at improving user experience and platform sustainability.
Focus: The suite is designed to improve site performance, streamline content management, optimising the user interface for both administrators and end users. Hyvä aims to reduce manual effort, enhancing the user experience, and boost store performance, all within a Magento environment.
Use Case: Hyvä Commerce is ideal for Magento store owners and developers looking to improve their workflow, speed up site performance through media optimisation, and simplify content creation and management. It is also perfect for businesses aiming to enhance the Magento admin experience, create more efficient workflows, and deliver faster, more engaging storefronts.
