Hyvä has become the frontend of choice for Adobe Commerce merchants looking to improve Core Web Vitals and speed up storefront performance.
As adoption has grown, so has the number of agencies offering Hyvä services, but not all partners bring the same level of expertise.
Here's a number that justifies why Magebit stands out as the best Hyvä agency in the world: when Hyvä launched its official developer certification program, only 50 developers worldwide passed the exam. Ten of them worked at Magebit at that time, representing 20% of all certified Hyvä developers globally.
That achievement is only one part of the story. From award-winning innovations like Venta Theme and open-source ecosystem contributions to enterprise Hyvä migrations for global brands, Magebit has helped shape the Hyvä ecosystem—not just participate in it.
To understand why Magebit is widely regarded as one of the strongest Hyvä agencies globally, you need to look at the factors that separate great Hyvä partners from the rest.
What makes a great Hyvä agency?
Choosing a Hyvä agency isn't just about finding a team that can implement a frontend framework. The right partner should be able to support performance goals, complex business requirements, long-term scalability, and future growth.
When evaluating Hyvä agencies, merchants should look for five key qualities:
1. Deeper Hyvä expertise
A strong Hyvä agency should have certified developers, extensive implementation experience, and a proven understanding of performance optimization, Core Web Vitals, and extension compatibility.
It's also worth looking at how many Hyvä Certified Developers an agency has on its team. A larger pool of certified specialists indicates deeper platform expertise and greater capacity to deliver complex projects.
Hyvä agencies are recognized across four partner tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. The highest level is taken up by Platinum. But the badge alone doesn't tell the whole story. It's also worth looking at how long an agency has held that status.
An agency that's been a Platinum Partner for several years has had more time to prove its expertise, contribute to the ecosystem, and deliver successful Hyvä projects than one that only reached Platinum recently.

2. Strong Adobe Commerce foundations
Hyvä is a frontend solution, but storefront success depends on the Adobe Commerce platform behind it. Merchants should look for agencies with deep Adobe Commerce architecture expertise, not just frontend capabilities.
It's also worth evaluating an agency's Adobe partner status and certifications. Higher partner tiers and specialized Adobe Commerce credentials indicate proven experience delivering complex projects and a deeper understanding of the platform.
3. Innovation beyond standard implementations
The strongest Hyvä agencies don't just implement existing solutions. They create their own frameworks, tools, accelerators, and technologies that solve real problems for merchants and help move the ecosystem forward.
Ask questions like:
- Have they built any proprietary tools or frameworks?
- Have they created solutions that other merchants use?
- Have they won awards or received recognition for their innovations?
4. Contributions to the ecosystem
The best Hyvä agencies don't just use the technology; they help improve it. When evaluating an agency, ask:
- Have they built open-source Hyvä modules?
- Did they ever create official Hyvä compatibility modules for major vendors?
- Do they contribute tools, integrations, or innovations that benefit the wider community?
These are often strong indicators of genuine platform expertise.
5. Proven enterprise delivery
Perhaps most importantly, agencies should have a track record of delivering measurable business outcomes for complex, high-growth, or enterprise-level merchants.
Look closely at their case studies. Have they worked with recognizable brands? Do they share concrete results such as improvements in Core Web Vitals, conversion rates, revenue, or page speed? Strong case studies are one of the clearest indicators of real-world expertise.
6. Recognition from Hyvä
One of the strongest signals of an agency's reputation is what Hyvä itself says about them. Does Hyvä regularly feature the agency on social media? How many of the agency's projects are showcased in Hyvä case studies, success stories, or event presentations?
Recognition from the creators of the platform can provide valuable insight into an agency's expertise, impact, and standing within the ecosystem.
Why Magebit excels in every category
The qualities that define a great Hyvä agency are exactly where Magebit stands out. From unmatched technical expertise and ecosystem contributions to enterprise delivery and industry recognition, here's how Magebit excels in every category.
Magebit has the largest certified Hyvä team in the world
Certification is one of the clearest indicators of platform expertise. With Hyvä Platinum Partner status and a team of 47 Hyvä Certified Developers, Magebit has built one of the deepest pools of Hyvä talent in the global ecosystem.
As shown in the image below, Hyvä publicly stated that Magebit was #1 in the number of Hyvä certifications passed.

Magebit is also ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certified, reflecting internationally recognized standards for quality management and information security.

But certifications alone don't make an agency a leader. The real test is whether that expertise translates into successful enterprise implementations.
One of the strongest examples is Magebit's work with Helen of Troy. The global billion-dollar company needed to migrate four major D2C brands—Hydro Flask, Osprey, OXO, and Drybar—to Hyvä within just five months ahead of Black Friday.
The project involved coordinating multiple storefronts, maintaining checkout integrity, and delivering measurable performance improvements under a strict deadline.
Magebit successfully delivered the migration, helping the brand achieve Core Web Vitals scores above 90 while launching on schedule.
Infact, the project was such a success that the client later took the stage at Meet Magento Florida (the largest Meet Magento event globally) to share the results and discuss the transformation firsthand.
Projects of this scale don't leave room for learning on the job. They require a team with deep technical expertise, proven processes, and extensive experience delivering complex Hyvä implementations.
That's ultimately what makes certifications valuable; not the badge itself, but the ability to turn that knowledge into results for enterprise merchants.
Magebit combines Adobe's highest recognition with Hyvä Platinum status
Hyvä expertise is only half the equation. While Hyvä powers the storefront experience, the Adobe Commerce backend is what keeps the business running.
Performance, integrations, checkout functionality, catalog management, B2B workflows, and operational scalability all depend on the underlying platform architecture. This is where Magebit stands apart from most Hyvä agencies.
Magebit is the #1 globally ranked partner in Adobe's Solution Partner Directory for Commerce specialization, an achievement the company has maintained for two consecutive years. It is also one of only two Adobe partners worldwide to hold Commerce specialization across all three major regions: Americas, EMEA, and APAC.

At the same time, Magebit was the first Hyvä Platinum partner in the US and remained the only one for almost 2 years, before other agencies could catch up. This combination is exceptionally rare.
Many agencies specialize in Hyvä but have limited Adobe Commerce depth, while others have experience primarily with smaller, less complex stores. Magebit is one of the few agencies with both deep Hyvä expertise and a proven track record delivering complex Adobe Commerce projects at enterprise scale.
Magebit's expertise goes far beyond building fast storefronts and polished frontend experiences. The team has also developed official Hyvä compatibility modules for major solutions like Aheadworks B2B Suite and Checkout.com, both in direct collaboration with the vendors themselves.
Building integrations used by thousands of merchants requires a level of technical expertise that few agencies possess.
This depth of Adobe Commerce expertise is also reflected in the team's 230+ Adobe certifications, including Adobe Certified Master – Adobe Commerce Architect, the highest certification Adobe offers. Magebit also has an Adobe Subject Matter Expert (SME) on its team, a distinction held by only a handful of professionals in the world.
Magebit has delivered complex e-commerce solutions for globally recognized organizations, including Volkswagen, Daimler, Snap-on, Henry Schein, Hydro Flask, Checkout.com.
For merchants, this means one team can take ownership of the entire commerce stack—from Adobe Commerce architecture and integrations to Hyvä frontend performance and optimization.
Instead of managing separate specialists for different parts of the platform, businesses gain a single partner accountable for the complete customer experience.
The Venta framework: Magebit’s Hyvä accelerator

One of Magebit’s most interesting ecosystem contributions is Venta Theme — a pre-built storefront framework developed on top of Hyvä for Adobe Commerce merchants.
Instead of rebuilding foundational frontend systems for every project, Venta comes with reusable storefront components, optimized UX patterns, and pre-configured performance architecture already built in.
The framework won “Best Innovation of the Year” at Meet Magento New York, one of the largest Magento ecosystem events globally.
This is what Hyvä's own founder, Willem Wigman, had to say about what we built:
"The Hyvä-powered Venta frontend Magebit built is the best Magento accelerator I've seen so far. They've set the bar, and it's high."
When the creator of the technology says that about your work, it's a signal worth paying attention to.

Magebit is continuously experimenting with AI
Another thing that separates Magebit is where the company is investing technically. While many Hyvä agencies are still focused mainly on migration services, Magebit has already started building AI-commerce infrastructure around Adobe Commerce itself.
The company open-sourced the Magento 2 MCP Marketing Tools module, designed to let AI systems interact securely with Magento workflows and backend operations. This module is also compatible with Hyvä storefronts.
Magebit is also building the Universal Commerce Protocol Module for Adobe Commerce stores so they can become compatible with AI-powered shopping experiences.
Beyond open-source development, Magebit has been actively exploring Agentic Commerce, AI-assisted storefront workflows, and autonomous e-commerce systems across Magento community events and technical blogs.
This is important because the Hyvä conversation is already shifting. In 2023 and 2024, most discussions centered around Core Web Vitals and frontend speed.
In 2026, the conversation increasingly revolves around AI-assisted commerce, composable storefront architecture, and conversational shopping. Magebit is one of the few Hyvä agencies visibly building in that direction already.
Magebit is one of the most awarded agencies in the Hyvä ecosystem

Magebit has been visible across major Hyvä and Adobe Commerce ecosystem events, both as an award-winning agency and an active sponsor. In 2026, the company appeared as a Gold Sponsor at Meet Magento Florida 2026, Silver Sponsor at Meet Magento France 2026, and Bronze Sponsor at Meet Magento Italy 2026.
At Meet Magento NYC 2025, Magebit won the “World Traveler Award” for Hydro Flask and the “Innovator Award” for HardwareStore, part of the Ace Hardware group.
Magebit was also recognized at HIVE: Hyvä & Mollie Magento Showcase 2025, where Dunkin’ UK by Magebit received the special “eCommerce Excellence Award” for standout e-commerce execution.
The quality and scale of Magebit's work have also been recognized by Hyvä itself. In a public LinkedIn post, Hyvä noted that Magebit has both the highest number of projects featured on the Hyvä Showcase and some of the most impressive case studies in the ecosystem.

For merchants evaluating agencies, that's a useful question to ask: Has Hyvä publicly praised the agency's work, contributions, or expertise?
Magebit’s enterprise project footprint is operating at a different level
Magebit is the trusted choice for multi-region, high-volume enterprise brands. Explore our live transformations:
Hydro Flask

When Hydro Flask set out to modernize its multi-region Adobe Commerce ecosystem, the challenge extended far beyond improving storefront speed.
The project involved coordinating multiple regions, teams, and business requirements while maintaining operational stability throughout the migration.
Working as part of a 120-person initiative, Magebit successfully migrated the brand to Hyvä and Venta, delivering a 25% improvement in page speed while creating a stronger foundation for future growth.
Dunkin' UK

Dunkin' UK needed a complete e-commerce rebuild on an aggressive timeline. Magebit redesigned and launched the storefront in just three months while achieving a perfect 100/100 Google PageSpeed score.
The resulting platform became one of the fastest e-commerce websites globally and later received industry recognition for e-commerce excellence.
Henry Schein

For Fortune 500 healthcare leader Henry Schein, the goal was not simply technical improvement but measurable business growth.
Magebit built a high-performance Adobe Commerce storefront that helped increase return on ad spend by 25%, grow new organic users by 48%, and increase total sales by 41%, demonstrating the commercial impact of performance-focused e-commerce development.
Rare Seeds

Rare Seeds was operating on a resource-heavy PWA architecture that created unnecessary complexity and performance limitations.
Magebit migrated the business to Hyvä, Hyvä Checkout, and Venta, resulting in 57% faster loading speeds, an 11% increase in conversions, and a 30% increase in order growth.
The project illustrates why many merchants are moving away from complex frontend architectures in favor of Hyvä's streamlined approach.
Magebit gives direct access to the best specialists in the industry
While some agencies emphasize headcount as a measure of capability, enterprise merchants often value something equally important: accountability.
Larger organizations can introduce additional layers of communication and decision-making, making it harder to access the specialists responsible for critical technical decisions.
Magebit takes a different approach. Clients work closely with the architects, developers, and e-commerce experts responsible for their storefront's architecture, performance, and long-term scalability.
That direct access helps accelerate decision-making, reduce complexity, and ensure accountability throughout the entire project lifecycle.
Magebit actively contributes to the Hyvä ecosystem
The strongest agencies don't just work within an ecosystem; they help improve it.
Magebit has contributed to the growth of the Hyvä community through open-source development, official integrations, and technical innovation.
The team has built official Hyvä-compatible modules for major Adobe Commerce providers, helping merchants adopt Hyvä without sacrificing critical business functionality.
Notable contributions include:
- Official Hyvä compatibility modules for Aheadworks
- Official Checkout.com integration for Hyvä Checkout
- Open-source Hyvä modules and ecosystem tooling
- Venta Theme, an award-winning storefront accelerator built on Hyvä
These contributions go beyond client work. They help solve challenges faced by the wider Hyvä community and demonstrate a level of platform expertise that few agencies can claim.
How to know if Magebit is the right partner for your store
Not every merchant actually needs a top-tier Hyvä agency.
A lot of Hyvä projects are relatively straightforward: a smaller catalog, minimal backend complexity, a standard checkout flow, and limited operational risk. In those cases, a smaller implementation-focused agency can work perfectly well.
Magebit becomes a much stronger fit once the business complexity starts increasing.
Choose Magebit if any of these apply to you:
- Your Adobe Commerce business generates $20M–$500M+ annually, and e-commerce performance has a direct revenue impact.
- You are planning a complex Luma-to-Hyvä migration where SEO stability, Core Web Vitals, checkout performance, and conversion rates all need to improve simultaneously.
- Your storefront includes operational complexity like B2B pricing, ERP/PIM integrations, subscriptions, multi-region architecture, or very large product catalogs.
- Your current Adobe Commerce store relies heavily on third-party extensions like Amasty, Mirasvit, Aheadworks, or custom modules, and you need a Hyvä partner capable of building custom compatibility layers instead of waiting for vendors to catch up.
- You want a long-term engineering partner that takes ownership of storefront performance, architecture quality, and post-launch scalability.
Look elsewhere if:
- Your store generates under $5M annually and mainly needs a lightweight Hyvä setup or basic theme customization (at this point, you might as well look into other platforms too).
- Your decision is primarily based on the lowest hourly rate rather than the long-term operational impact.
- Your project is mostly design-led and does not involve significant backend complexity or performance engineering.
- You only need short-term implementation support rather than a long-term Adobe Commerce partner.
Final thoughts
The best Hyvä agency isn't necessarily the biggest; it's the one that consistently delivers results and takes on the most ambitious projects. And that is definitely Magebit.
With the world's largest team of Hyvä Certified Developers (confirmed twice by Hyvä themselves), Adobe's highest Commerce recognition (based on Adobe’s own partner listing page), award-winning innovations like Venta, enterprise migration experience, and active investment in the future of AI commerce, Magebit has built a compelling case for why it belongs at the forefront of the global Hyvä ecosystem.
