Move your store to Hyvä, whatever you're leaving behind
We migrate stores to Magento 2 and Hyvä from any platform. WooCommerce, PrestaShop, OpenCart, Luma or a custom build. Full data migration, bespoke Hyvä frontend, zero downtime.
The performance ceiling on legacy platforms is real. Hyvä removes it.
WooCommerce, PrestaShop, OpenCart and Magento 2 with Luma all share the same fundamental problem: they carry years of frontend bloat that limits how fast your store can ever load. Hyvä is built on Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js, replacing that bloat with a lean, modern frontend that consistently scores 90 or above on mobile Lighthouse.
For stores moving from outside the Magento ecosystem, this is a full platform migration onto Magento 2 with Hyvä as the frontend from day one. For existing Magento 2 stores, it is a frontend rebuild with no disruption to your backend, data or integrations. Either way, your store keeps trading throughout and the cutover happens when everything is ready.
What switching to Hyvä actually delivers.
A migration process designed around your platform, not a template.
Platform and data audit
We assess your current platform, catalogue structure, customer and order data, integrations and SEO equity. Everything is scoped and costed before any work begins.
Data migration
Your product catalogue, customer accounts, order history and content are migrated accurately onto Magento 2. All data is verified and reconciled before the frontend build starts.
Hyvä frontend build
Every template built from scratch on Magento 2 with Hyvä. Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js. Designed around your brand and your catalogue, not a starter theme.
Integration mapping
Your payment gateways, ERP, fulfilment connections and third-party services are scoped, rebuilt and tested on the new stack. Nothing goes live until integrations are proven.
SEO migration
Full redirect mapping, URL structure preservation and pre and post-launch SEO audits as standard. Your organic rankings travel with you.
Go-live and handover
Controlled cutover with your existing store live throughout. Post-launch monitoring, performance benchmarking and a full handover to your team.
Your rankings come with you.
A careless platform migration can wipe out years of organic rankings. A well-executed one protects them and often improves them. We implement full redirect mapping from your old URL structure, maintain site architecture where possible, and carry out thorough pre and post-launch SEO audits as standard. Improved Core Web Vitals scores post-migration are a positive ranking signal, not a neutral one.

Common questions about migrating to Hyvä
Any platform. We regularly migrate stores from WooCommerce, PrestaShop, OpenCart, Magento 1, Magento 2 with Luma, and custom-built ecommerce solutions. The Magento 2 backend handles the heavy lifting regardless of where you are starting from, and Hyvä gives you the frontend performance you cannot get on those legacy platforms.
Your entire catalogue, customer accounts and order history are migrated onto Magento 2 as part of the project. We reconcile and verify all data before any frontend build begins. Nothing is left behind.
Not with a well-executed migration. We implement full redirect mapping from your old URL structure to the new one, carry out pre and post-launch SEO audits, and preserve your site architecture where possible. Improved Core Web Vitals scores post-migration typically strengthen rankings over time rather than harm them.
Magento Open Source is the right choice for most businesses and is what we recommend for the majority of migrations. Adobe Commerce suits larger enterprises with specific B2B, multi-site or advanced merchandising requirements. We advise honestly on which is appropriate for your situation.
All integrations are scoped and rebuilt as part of the project. Magento 2 has native support for most major payment gateways and a well-supported extension ecosystem for ERP, fulfilment and third-party connections. Where a direct equivalent does not exist, we build a custom integration.
A full platform migration to Magento 2 with Hyvä typically takes 4 to 6 months from discovery to launch. Existing Magento 2 stores switching from Luma to Hyvä are usually 3 to 5 months. Timelines depend on catalogue size, integration complexity and the number of custom templates required. We set a realistic timeline at the start and stick to it.
Stores migrating from WooCommerce, PrestaShop or OpenCart typically see Lighthouse scores move from below 30 on mobile to 90 or above post-migration. Existing Magento 2 stores switching from Luma see a similar jump. Core Web Vitals pass reliably across our Hyvä builds. The structural improvement is significant in every case.
