Features, integrations and fixes by senior engineers, usually started within days.
Development for Magento Open Source, Adobe Commerce and Mage-OS stores: custom features, integrations and fixes, built by senior engineers only and tested on staging first. For merchants of every size with a list of things the store should do. Work with us ad hoc or on a monthly development retainer.
What merchants tell us before the first ticket.
Every small change takes our agency three weeks and comes back as a quote for a sprint.
The overhead is bigger than the work. With a senior engineer and no layers in between, a small change stays a small change.
We get an invoice every month but cannot tell what it was for.
An invoice should list each piece of work you asked for, with its own price. Ours does.
The integration with our warehouse breaks and nobody notices until customers ring.
It was connected but never monitored. Failures need a queue, a log and an alert that goes to a person.
Six kinds of work, all by the same senior engineers.
Custom modules, checkout changes, B2B pricing, configurators, promotions logic and admin tools.
ERP, order management, payment, shipping, marketing, search and feeds, connected and monitored.
Errors in the logs, stalled indexers, broken emails and silent imports, fixed and written up.
Templates, CMS blocks and components on whichever frontend you use, as a Hyvä Silver Partner.
A read of the code before we change it, with risky customisations named.
Built and tested on staging, deployed at a time that suits your trade, and reversible.
The same steps for a small fix and a six-week integration.
Send us the store address. A senior engineer reads its release, support status, PHP, headers, hosting and any sign of a hijack.
Within two working daysIn your own words, by email. We ask what we need to and write it up with clear acceptance criteria.
Same daySmall requests are simply done. For anything larger, the engineer who will do the work gives you a written estimate first.
Within two working daysDone on a copy of your store and tested against the acceptance criteria and the money paths it touches.
In order of priorityYou try it on staging, then it goes live at a quiet hour with a way back.
At a time agreed with youSpecialist depth rather than breadth. If what you need is on the right, we will say so and introduce someone good.
We price the work, not the clock.
Ask for work as you need it, and everything requested in a month is itemised on one invoice at the end of it, each piece with its own price. Or agree a monthly development retainer and have a senior team working through your list every month. Larger pieces, such as a new build or an integration, are estimated in writing as a project. There is no account-management fee on any of them.
A Hyvä storefront built and developed for a fishing tackle store with more than 11,000 products.
… Every time I’ve emailed them, they’ve been incredibly responsive with quick replies, clear answers, and genuinely helpful support. It’s rare to find a company that communicates this well. The quality of their work is second to none. Everything they’ve delivered has been polished, professional, and done to a very high standard. You can tell they really care about the end result and take pride in what they do. …
Decades of collective experience across Magento 1, Magento 2, Adobe Commerce, Hyvä and Shopify. Very little about your store will be new to us.
You deal directly with the founder. No juniors learning on your store and no account managers between you and the people doing the work.
Small stores and large ones, described in their owners' words. The reviews are quoted on this site word for word.
Each piece of work is priced as a whole, on what it takes: its complexity, the expertise it needs and how urgent it is. Small requests are simply done and itemised on your monthly invoice; for anything larger you get a written estimate first, from the engineer who will do the work. Our rate is £80 an hour plus VAT.
Senior engineers who have worked on Magento for years, not juniors learning on your store. There is no account manager or project manager between you and them: you have one point of contact, who knows the work and answers your questions directly.
Yes, and most of our development work is on stores we did not build. We start with a read-only look at the code, the hosting and the patch state, so that we understand what we are changing before we change it. Where the existing code makes a task harder than it should be, we say so and explain the options.
Whichever is right for the task, and we tell you which and why. A well-maintained extension from a vendor who will support it through the next release is often the better answer. Where nothing fits, we write a module to Magento's coding standards, with the source in your repository.
Payment providers, cross-border selling, order management and ERP systems, email marketing, address lookup and site search, among them Mollie, Global-e, Orderwise, Klaviyo, Loqate and Klevu, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with our partner n.vision. If your system has an API, the question is how it should connect rather than whether it can.
It overlaps. Backend features, integrations and fixes are the same work whichever frontend you use. Theme and frontend work on Hyvä has its own page under Hyvä development, because the toolset is different and we are a Hyvä Silver Partner.
Yes. New stores are built on the current supported release with a Hyvä storefront, designed around your brand and your catalogue. Start-ups with small budgets and established retailers both begin the same way: a conversation, then a written plan and estimate.
In effect, yes. A monthly development retainer gives you a senior team working through your list every month, without recruiting, managing or covering holidays. It can be increased, reduced or paused as the list changes.
Yes. We work alongside design, marketing and other development agencies, under our own name or white-labelled under yours, on single tasks or whole projects.
Give us the address and we will read what the store already shows the world: release, support status, PHP, headers, hosting and any sign of a hijack. One page, by email, within two working days. Nothing is accessed or tested.
What we would do first. Apply the outstanding security fixes, then plan the upgrade to a supported release.
