Other important factors are the reduction of the number of layout blocks and the consistent use of ViewModels instead of blocks.
Where can I find a demo shop?
There are Hyvä Themes, Hyvä Admin and Hyvä Checkout. How are these related?
Hyvä Checkout is intended to be used as a checkout with Hyvä Themes – however, it can also be used independently of Hyvä Themes and there is also the option of using alternative solutions for the checkout in conjunction with Hyvä Themes.
Hyvä Admin is an open source project inspired by Hyvä Themes, started by Vinai Kopp. It is a modern way to create custom tables and forms in the Magento admin area. It does not aim to rebuild the existing admin area, but to simplify the development of custom components and to make the development process more comfortable for developers by not using UI components.

Business Questions
How much does Hyvä Themes cost?
The licence for Hyvä Themes costs a one-time fee of 1.000 € per project.
The licence includes the live shop and any number of development and test systems.
For whom is Hyvä Themes the right solution?
The primary target group is small and medium-sized retailers, who benefit from the increased performance, the better developer experience and the lower implementation costs.
The advantages of Hyvä are also worthwhile for larger shops. If they use Magento Commerce, they should wait a little longer because Hyvä’s Magento Commerce compatibility is not yet complete.
Can I test Hyvä before I decide to buy a licence?
No. However, it is possible to get a refund of the licence costs within 14 days of purchase.
Can I get a developer training on Hyvä?
For the future, we plan ‘getting started packages’ that include introductory training, the opportunity to get questions answered, and code reviews. Until then, you are welcome to enquire directly with us via the contact form (at the bottom of this page).
In principle, however, it is also possible to get started with Hyvä without training, thanks to the detailed documentation and manageable complexity.
