Foreword
If you are planning a new Magento or Adobe Commerce store, one name is likely to come up again and again: Hyvä.But Hyvä is not just a theme. It is a faster, cleaner, and more modern way to build Magento storefronts. In 2025, it became the go-to choice recommended by top-tier agencies working with merchants.
Hyvä replaces Magento’s default frontend, known as Luma, with a streamlined, modern technology stack that is easier for developers to work with and significantly faster for end-users.
Hyvä is a great tool to utilise for your project, offering several advantages to make your website better, including:
Hyvä provides functionality straight out of the box:
Magento’s default checkout is often criticised for being slow and difficult to customise. Hyvä Checkout solves this by offering a completely rebuilt solution from the ground up, using modern, maintainable code.
It is fully compatible with major payment providers such as Klarna, Mollie, and Adyen, and offers flexibility to create either multi-step or single-page checkout experiences. Proven in live production environments, Hyvä Checkout is fast, reliable, and easy to tailor to your specific needs.
Hyvä is no longer a newcomer; it has become a trusted and widely adopted frontend solution. It now powers hundreds of Magento sites, including prominent enterprise builds. Its robust architecture supports complex B2B projects that were once considered too customised for performance-oriented frontends.
Hyvä is also a go-to choice for migration projects transitioning away from Luma, PWA, or expensive headless setups. Merchants and agencies alike are rediscovering the benefits of simplicity, without having to compromise on functionality.
Many older modules are now compatible, but some may require additional vetting.
Hyvä has become the standard. In 2024, most reputable Magento agencies adopted it as their default frontend. By 2025, if your agency is not offering Hyvä or is unfamiliar with it, you may already be at a disadvantage.
