How do I hire a Magento 2 / Hyvä frontend developer without an agency?

Work directly with a specialist who already ships Hyvä in production. Mykola Rudnev offers Magento 2 / Hyvä frontend support as B2B freelance: Hyvä migrations, PLP/PDP/checkout/CMS, Core Web Vitals, and post-launch retainers. Start with a short brief at https://www.mrudnev.com/magento-hyva-support.

What is Hyvä theme development?

Hyvä is a Magento 2 frontend built on Alpine.js and Tailwind CSS. It is used to replace slow Luma or headless stacks with faster catalog and checkout templates. Mykola Rudnev implements Hyvä Theme, Hyvä Checkout and Hyvä CMS — including the HUBER SE rebuild.

What I help with

✓Frontend bug fixing on Magento 2 / Hyvä

✓Cleaning up frontend after quick fixes
✓Post-launch support and ongoing maintenance
✓Short development sprints without a long onboarding process

Typical situations

When store owners and e-commerce managers usually reach out — and how I typically step in.

The store runs — but the frontend hurts

You have a backlog of fixes, tech debt, and “we’ll get to it later” items that never get priority.

You need to ship faster

New sections, landing pages, CMS blocks, UX tweaks, and mobile polish — without waiting weeks for estimates.

Hyvä is live (or planned) — no frontend ownership

You need someone who understands the storefront end-to-end and can step in without a heavy agency rollout.

Post-launch — nobody owns the frontend

Hyvä is deployed but components, CMS, and performance on the frontend have no clear owner.

Bug backlog and messy quick fixes

You need someone to stabilize the frontend and close tickets one by one with clear communication.

Conversion drop / weak Core Web Vitals

Mobile is slow, checkout has friction — you need measurable improvement, not another PDF-only audit.

How I work

Direct contact, clear scope, and a fast start. First a short diagnosis (URL + issue summary), then a proposal: audit, sprint, or ongoing support. Async-friendly, B2B — Poland and EU remote.

•Direct work with the store owner or e-commerce manager — no account layers
•Clearly defined scope before work starts
•Straightforward communication (async-friendly, B2B)
•Small sprints or ongoing support — whatever fits the store
•No “we’ll get back to you in two weeks with an estimate”

Areas I focus on

Support

Ongoing support and fast production fixes

Performance

Core Web Vitals, Lighthouse, asset optimization

Migration

Hyvä migrations and cleanup after legacy themes

Checkout

Cart, checkout, and purchase flow

CMS

Hyvä CMS and components for content teams

Experience

16+ Magento stores — enterprise builds, Hyvä migrations, long-term support

Engagement models

Pick the model that matches where your store is today. Full comparison and details on the pricing page.

One-off sprint

A fixed scope over 1–4 weeks when you have a concrete task list.

Best for: New section, PLP/PDP work, mobile improvements, Hyvä components

Ongoing support

Regular fixes, development, and fast response when the store has no dedicated front-end owner.

Best for: Post-launch maintenance, ticket backlog, incremental growth

Audit + action plan

Short diagnosis of performance, frontend health, and priorities — then a clear next step.

Best for: Chaos after launch, unclear where to start, many open fronts

View full comparison

What you get

✓Short diagnosis (store URL + issue summary)
✓Scope proposal and realistic work plan
✓Implementation or hands-on support during rollout
✓Clear communication without intermediaries
✓Measurable outcomes where it matters (CWV, conversion paths, ticket closure)
