Hyvä: The best frontend for Magento

Hyvä, which means "good" or "excellent" in Finnish, represents an innovative movement in web development, especially for Magento shops. As a new front-end framework, Hyvä revolutionises the creation of e-commerce platforms by significantly reducing loading times and optimising the user experience. In this blog post you will find out exactly what Hyvä is, what benefits it brings to your online shop and how to switch to Hyvä.

What is Hyvä?

Hyvä is a front-end template technology for Magento with the aim of not only simplifying the creation of online shops, but also significantly improving their performance. 

Hyvä has been built from the ground up and, unlike the traditional Magento front-end, is free from outdated structures and unnecessarily complex features. This means that during the development of Hyvä, everything that could affect the performance of the online shop platform and complicate the development process was deliberately left out.

To achieve this, Hyvä focuses on only the essential libraries and tools, creating a fast, efficient and user-friendly environment for both developers and users. In addition, the amount of code passed to users on the front-end is drastically reduced, resulting in a huge increase in performance. To create responsive, fast and visually appealing online stores, Hyvä relies on the integration of HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript.

The advantages of Hyvä

When you look at the benefits of Hyvä in detail, it's easy to see why Hyvä technology has quickly become the preferred choice for developers and businesses in the e-commerce space.

Performance benefits:

Hyvä's online shops perform excellently in Google PageSpeed, achieving scores of up to 100/100. How is this possible? Hyvä creates a lean architecture that drastically reduces loading times. By optimising front-end performance, Hyvä significantly improves the speed of online shops, which directly translates into a better user experience. Faster loading times are crucial for increasing conversion rates and reducing bounce rates.

User-friendliness:

Hyvä provides an excellent user experience for both developers and end users. Developers benefit from a simplified development environment that allows them to work more efficiently and make customisations with less effort. End users, on the other hand, enjoy intuitive and fluid navigation in online stores built with Hyvä, increasing user satisfaction and brand loyalty.

Customisability:

Hyvä is highly flexible and adaptable to different project requirements. It enables the implementation of customised designs and functionalities that are precisely tailored to the company's needs.

Future-proof:

By using the latest technologies and continuously updating its platform, Hyvä ensures that Magento online shops based on its technology remain competitive in the future.

Easy integration:

Hyvä integrates seamlessly with various back-end systems and third-party tools, simplifying the development process and enabling the creation of complex functionality without significant additional effort.

Who is Hyvä suitable for?

Hyvä has established itself as a versatile and advanced solution for creating online shops based on Magento. This innovative technology is ideal for both the development of new online shops and the optimisation of existing ones. A particular advantage of Hyvä is that it can be integrated into existing systems in a step-by-step process, allowing for flexible adaptation to the individual needs of the company. It should be noted, however, that the implementation of Hyvä does not happen overnight and requires technical expertise. It is therefore advisable for companies to seek the support of an experienced digital agency during implementation.

Integration into existing Magento online shops

A digital agency such as Arcmedia can integrate Hyvä into an existing Magento online shop. This implementation enables shop operators to redesign and modernise their frontend much faster than would be possible with traditional Magento frontends. In addition, existing backend logic can be easily adopted while the frontend logic is efficiently updated to the latest Hyvä technology. The end result is a significant simplification of the code and the elimination of outdated structures, which not only improves performance but also creates the basis for future extensions and functionalities.

New online shop with Hyvä

If you don't already have an online shop, you can also create a completely new online shop with Hyvä. To do this, a comprehensive needs analysis is first carried out to understand the specific requirements and goals. UX designers then develop an intuitive and appealing design for the new online shop that strengthens the brand identity and maximises the user-friendliness of the online shop. Design tools such as Figma are then used to create prototypes that visualise the shop's visual concept and interactions. Once the designs have been agreed with the customer, the technical implementation begins. The developers implement the design with Hyvä, with a particular focus on fast loading times, mobile responsiveness and an optimised user experience. After the successful go-live of the new online shop with the Hyvä template, it is continuously tested, further developed and optimised.

Conclusion

In short, Hyvä is the future of e-commerce for Magento stores. It offers exceptional performance, improved user experience and high customisability. By using the latest technologies, Hyvä ensures that online shops remain competitive and attractive to both developers and users.
