e-horyzont.pl – Building a High-Performance Magento Store with Hyvä Themes
CLIENT: FAM
INDUSTRY: Outdoor and Trekking
TECHNOLOGY: Magento Open Source + Hyva Themes
Introduction
e-horyzont.pl is one of the largest outdoor and trekking equipment stores in Poland. For many years we have been responsible for the continuous development of the platform, implementing new business features, integrations and performance improvements.
One of the key milestones of this long-term cooperation was rebuilding the storefront using Hyvä Themes. The goal was clear: create a faster, more responsive and easier-to-maintain storefront while preserving the extensive business logic developed over years.
The Challenge
Like many mature Magento stores, e-horyzont had evolved over years of continuous development.
The platform contained numerous custom modules, ERP integrations, advanced product presentation, promotional mechanisms and customer-specific functionality. At the same time, maintaining high frontend performance became increasingly difficult.
The client expected a solution that would:
- significantly improve page loading speed,
- simplify frontend development,
- reduce technical debt,
- improve Core Web Vitals,
- provide a modern shopping experience across desktop and mobile devices,
- remain fully compatible with existing Magento business logic.
Our Solution
Instead of rebuilding the business layer, we focused on modernising the presentation layer.
We redesigned the storefront using Hyvä Themes, replacing Magento's traditional frontend stack with a lightweight architecture based on Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js.
During the implementation we:
- rebuilt all key storefront components,
- adapted custom Magento modules to Hyvä,
- maintained compatibility with existing business processes,
- optimised product, category and CMS pages,
- improved mobile navigation,
- simplified frontend architecture for future development,
- optimised JavaScript and CSS loading.
The result was a significantly lighter frontend with far fewer dependencies and considerably easier maintenance.
Performance First
Performance was one of the primary goals of the project.
By introducing Hyvä Themes we dramatically reduced the amount of JavaScript executed in the browser and simplified the rendering process.
The new frontend delivers:
- faster page rendering,
- improved user experience,
- better responsiveness on mobile devices,
- higher Lighthouse scores,
- improved Core Web Vitals,
- stronger SEO foundations.
Long-Term Partnership
Our cooperation with e-horyzont extends far beyond frontend development.
Over the years we have continuously expanded the platform with new business features, third-party integrations and operational improvements.
Today the store continues to evolve, allowing the client to introduce new ideas quickly while maintaining stability, performance and scalability.
Results
After implementing Hyvä Themes, the platform gained:
- significantly faster storefront performance,
- improved user experience across all devices,
- simplified frontend maintenance,
- faster implementation of new business features,
- a future-proof Magento architecture ready for further growth.
