Hyvä partner agency · European time zone

Magento 2 & Hyvästores thatactually sell.

We build on Magento 2, migrate to Hyvä, and keep optimising until the speed shows up in orders rather than only in reports. Senior developers, one hour ahead of the UK, at roughly a third of a London rate.

Stores we built and scaled

What we specialise in

Magento 2 and Hyvä, from build to scale

We are a Hyvä partner agency and have worked on Magento since version 1. It is the platform we know best, and the one we recommend when volume actually matters.

Magento 2 development

Stores built from scratch on Magento 2, with the catalogue architecture and checkout designed around your real volume — not around a demo.

  • Over 500 native features
  • 10,000+ extensions available
  • Multi-store and multi-currency

Hyvä migration

Hyvä rewrites the Magento frontend and strips out the Knockout and RequireJS weight. The effect shows up directly in Core Web Vitals and in conversion rate.

  • Load times under 1.5 s
  • A modern, minimal interface
  • Shorter development time

Optimisation & maintenance

We take over existing Magento stores: technical audit, extension cleanup, indexing, caching and version upgrades without downtime.

  • Performance audit
  • Version upgrades
  • A dedicated monthly retainer

From code to storefront

This is how a Hyvä store gets built

Alpine.store('cart', {
items: [],

The foundation
Hyvä replaces the stock theme. From here on, everything the browser loads is something we chose.

  2. The header
  3. The hero image

  5. The cart

End of support

Magento 2.4.6, 2.4.5 și 2.4.4 no longer receives security patches

The store keeps working exactly as before. What changed is that any newly discovered vulnerability no longer gets an official fix for your version. At the last critical vulnerability, mass exploitation reached half of all Magento stores within four days.

Check your version against the support timetable

What this means for me

Free check, right here

Which Magento version are you running?

Most merchants don't know. Enter your store's address and we'll tell you which platform it appears to run, whether that version is still supported, and whether your server is handing out files it shouldn't.

With it we can tell you exactly which patch to apply. You'll find it at the very bottom of the admin panel.

What we do, and what we don't

  • We request the homepage, like any visitor.
  • We read the response headers, the last publish date from the static file path, and the page's public source.
  • We request a handful of addresses that shouldn't answer at all, listed here so you know exactly what we touch: /magento_version, /admin, /setup/, /pub/, /app/etc/env.php, /.git/config, /.env, /composer.json, /composer.lock, /phpinfo.php.
  • We compare against the official release list in the Magento repository.
  • We send no payloads, attempt no logins, enumerate no directories, and never test whether a vulnerability can actually be exploited.
  • For a full official scan, Adobe provides its Security Scan Tool free of charge. We are not a replacement for it.

Your result appears here: which platform is running, when it was last published, which security headers are missing, which files are publicly downloadable, and — if you give us the version — exactly which patch you're missing.

Versions come from the official `magento/magento2` repository, refreshed daily.

How we work

Five steps, no surprises along the way

The same process whether the store is new or inherited from another agency.

  1. 01

    We measure before we promise

    We start from real data: field Core Web Vitals, how the catalogue is structured, and where in the funnel you are losing orders.

  2. 02

    We agree what changes, and in what order

    Priority follows impact on sales, not how visible the change is. You get a plan with estimates, not a wish list.

  3. 03

    We build on staging and test against real data

    Development on Magento 2 or Hyvä, with QA on every critical path: catalogue, checkout, ERP and courier integrations.

  4. 04

    We go live without losing traffic

    One-to-one redirects, metadata parity, and daily Search Console monitoring through the first weeks.

  5. 05

    We optimise monthly, with a report

    SEO, PPC and CRO on the same store, reported on cost per acquisition and ROAS — not impressions.

The difference

How this usually goes, and how we do it

Every row below can be checked on the first call. If any of them fails to hold up, that is a good reason not to work with us.

A comparison between common industry practice and how VONTEQ works, across nine areas
AspectCum se face de obiceiCum lucrăm noi
Time zoneOffshore team, a working day behind. You send a question at 5pm and read the answer tomorrow.Central European Time — one hour ahead of the UK. Your afternoon is our afternoon.
Who you talk toAn account manager relays your question to a team you never meet.The developers doing the work are on the call, in English, and can explain why something was built that way.
The estimateOne round number, no breakdown. You find out what was in it as you go.Staged, with deliverables and risks per stage. You can compare it fairly against other quotes.
The auditFree — but only if you sign afterwards.A deliverable in its own right. The report is yours even if you pick another agency.
Platform adviceYou get recommended whatever the agency already knows.We will tell you when Shopify or WooCommerce takes you further than Magento would.
The downsidesYou learn about them in week six of the build.They are written on this site before you sign: the Hyvä licence, the extensions that need porting, the more expensive hosting.
ReportingImpressions, clicks, keyword positions.Cost per acquisition and ROAS. If a metric does not connect to orders, we do not report it.
The contractLong term, with exit penalties.Reasonable notice in both directions. When you leave you take the code, the documentation and every credential.
After launchProject closed, final invoice, congratulations.Thirty days of Search Console monitoring, included. If traffic drops, fixing it is on us.

Our stack

What we work with day to day

We do not sell a single platform. We recommend what fits your volume, your budget and your team — and we tell you the downsides too.

Our tools

Software we build, not software we licence

Three platforms built inside our group — VONTEQ is the engineering side. We run them daily on client accounts, and clients can use them directly.

The panels above illustrate the interface. The figures in them are examples, not any particular client's results.

Partnerships & tooling

Verifiable partnerships, not logos on a page

These give us direct vendor support, licences, and sight of the product roadmaps we build on. Every one of them can be checked in the partner's own directory.

Why retailers pick us

The reasons retailers outside Romania end up working with us.

  • 01

    Your working hours

    We are in Central European Time — one hour ahead of the UK, in the same hours as the rest of the EU. Stand-ups happen live, not overnight.

  • 02

    Twelve years on Magento

    We have worked on Magento since version 1, through the move to 2, and now on Hyvä. Not a team that added it to a service list last year.

  • 03

    You talk to the developers

    No account manager relaying messages. The people writing the code are in the call, in English, and can answer why something was built that way.

  • 04

    Roughly a third of a London rate

    Same seniority, European labour costs. That is the whole of the difference — there is no offshore quality trade being hidden in the number.

  • 05

    Written scope, fixed stages

    Every project is broken into stages with what is in each one, what is not, and what it costs. You can stop after any of them.

  • 06

    Hyvä Bronze Partner

    Listed by Hyvä, and a Google and Adobe partner. Verifiable, not a logo on a page.

What clients say

Over 50 brands have worked with us

  • Scaling and consulting

    A professional, creative and motivated team. Communicating with them was easy, and that is what let us grow steadily.

  • Services that produced results

    In ten years I have dealt with 15 to 20 agencies. The balance they strike between technical and off-page SEO is what recommends them, whatever stage your company is at.

Questions?

What clients ask us most often

If your question isn't here, call us. We answer the ones other agencies would rather avoid.

  • We are in Central European Time — one hour ahead of the UK, the same hours as most of the EU. Stand-ups happen live, in English, with the developers writing the code rather than an account manager relaying messages. Most clients keep a shared Slack channel with us and never think about the distance again.
