Are you already familiar with the Hyvä Magento template? At Ecomwise, we work with this theme. In this blog, we explain why and what advantages this template has to offer for your B2B webshop.

What is the Hyvä template?

Before we delve deeper into the Hyvä template, let's take a look at the Luma template. Indeed, by default, Magento comes with the Luma template, but that template has some drawbacks. For instance, Luma does not perform as well in terms of loading speed and requires more time and effort to make adjustments. 

Much of Magento 2's complex technology is woven into the basic Luma design. Hyvä offers an alternative base design for Magento 2 webshops and sidesteps these drawbacks. Hyvä aims to provide a faster and less complex base. As Hyvä itself puts it, "Hyvä is actually the version of Luma we wish Magento itself had built."

What are the advantages of the Hyvä template? 

The Hyvä template takes your webshop to the next level. This manifests itself in the following ways:

• Improved loading speed. Hyvä improves user experience through fast loading times. This benefits the user experience. Visitors do not have to wait long for pages to load and are more likely to make purchases;
• High Google PageSpeed scores. A fast webshop is not only important for the user experience, but also for your position in search engines. The Hyvä theme ensures higher Google PageSpeed scores, making your B2B shop more visible in search results and attracting more organic traffic;
• Accelerated template adjustments. Hyvä's user-friendliness leads to shorter development times. So you can make changes to your webshop faster compared to the current Luma theme;
• Mobile-first approach. Hyvä is fully responsive and optimised for mobile devices, especially smartphones. This results in an attractive display of your webshop on any device (desktop, phone and tablet).

In short, the Hyvä theme for Magento 2 is a good choice for B2B companies looking for a fast, responsive solution in Magento with good Google pagespeed scores.
