We recently completed a major transformation on one of our clients’ website frontend, moving to the lightning-fast Hyvä Theme. The aim was simple, to create a cleaner, quicker, and more adaptable foundation for the entire shopping experience. What followed was a full-scale rebuild that reached far beyond surface-level design.

Migrating to Hyvä

Switching to Hyvä wasn’t a cosmetic upgrade. It required careful work behind the scenes to ensure each Magento 2 extension played nicely with the new setup. We streamlined the frontend stack, removed unnecessary complexity, and focused on improving Core Web Vitals, so the site feels as fast as it looks. The development workflow has become far more efficient, with reduced dependencies and code that is easier to maintain.

The impact was immediately noticeable. Pages load in a fraction of the time, interactions feel smoother, and the overall experience is sharper and more modern across every device. In short, this shift to Hyvä has delivered a faster, lighter, and far more future-ready storefront that benefits both users and developers.

Modern Tech Stack: Tailwind + Alpine.js

The new frontend is built with Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js, replacing the previously bulky CSS and JavaScript assets with a lightweight, utility-first approach.

This shift doesn’t just reduce file size, it brings far greater control and consistency to how each element is styled. Every UI adjustment, from spacing to typography, can be refined with precision, without the overhead of large component libraries or tangled style sheets.

By leaning on Tailwind’s utility classes and Alpine’s minimal, reactive behaviour, the interface remains clean, predictable, and easy to maintain.

Developers can move faster, designs stay more coherent, and the overall user experience benefits from a frontend that is both efficient and elegantly structured.

Cleaner Code, Faster Development

Hyvä aligns closely with modern developer best practices, providing a leaner, more maintainable foundation for the entire frontend. By stripping out unused code and unnecessary dependencies, our team was able to spend less time chasing bugs and more time focusing on building new features and improving the overall experience.

The benefits extend well beyond immediate development speed. With a cleaner codebase, ongoing maintenance becomes far simpler, reducing the risk of technical long-term headaches. For the Oqtagon team, this means fewer patch fixes, smoother updates, and a frontend that is easier to scale and adapt as the platform grows. In essence, Hyvä not only makes the site faster and more flexible for users, but it also sets up a sustainable, future-ready workflow for developers.

Improved PageSpeed & Fewer Requests

The migration dramatically reduced CSS and JavaScript payloads while eliminating dozens of unnecessary HTTP requests. In practical terms, this means pages load far more quickly, giving visitors a smoother, near-instant browsing experience.

For performance metrics, the impact is clear: Core Web Vitals scores have improved significantly, reflecting faster loading, more stable layouts, and more responsive interactions. Beyond user experience, there’s a strong SEO benefit as well. Search engines favour sites that load quickly and perform reliably, so these improvements help the site rank better, attract more traffic, and deliver a higher-quality experience for every visitor. In short, it’s a win both for people and for search engines.

Admin‑Driven Styling via Tailwind

Styling can now be done directly within blocks using Tailwind utility classes in the admin interface, no redeploy required. This means that Oqtagon’s Marketing team can now make visual tweaks to section layouts on the fly, adjusting spacing, typography, and other design elements without touching the code.

Campaign landing pages can now go live faster, iterations are smoother, and teams have more control over the look and feel of content.

Final thoughts – benefits for Oqtagon

The move to Hyvä brings a combination of scalability, agility, and performance. The new architecture makes it easy to add new features and modules, with an ever-expanding list of compatible Magento 2 extensions. At the same time, styling changes can now be handled by non-developers, giving marketing teams more control and speeding up go‑live times for campaigns. And with faster load times and a smoother, more responsive interface, the overall user experience is stronger, supporting both higher engagement and improved SEO, with the ultimate aim of driving better conversions.
