Let\u2019s discuss them all one by one:<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speed and Performance<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speed and performance are two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kinexmedia.com\/blog\/planning-an-ecommerce-important-things-to-know\/\">important ecommerce factors<\/a>. Hvy\u00e4 is greatly hyped for offering lightning-fast <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kinexmedia.com\/blog\/how-important-is-it-to-reduce-your-websites-page-loading-speed\/\">loading speed<\/a>. Let&#8217;s understand how it works.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kinexmedia.com\/hyva-theme-development\/\">Hyv\u00e4 themes<\/a> are built from scratch. It&#8217;s not based on the existing theme code of Magento. This is because the existing codebase consists of complex Javascript libraries that greatly impact website performance. It barely uses the core Magento templating system. Hyv\u00e4&#8217;s model uses lightweight frameworks that include Tailwind CSS and AlpineJS. So, if you are going to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kinexmedia.com\/blog\/top-10-reasons-to-choose-magento-hyva-theme-development\/\">choose the Magento Hyv\u00e4 theme development<\/a>, you are going to require less code work, time and resources as compared to traditional Magento themes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Design Flexibility\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Magento&#8217;s traditional themes, you get pre-designed website elements that allow for limited customization. However, this is not the case if you choose to switch to the\u00a0 Hyv\u00e4 theme.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we discussed above, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kinexmedia.com\/magento-development-services\/\">Magento<\/a> is built from scratch, and it does not include anything that was previously present in Magento&#8217;s other themes. So, there isn&#8217;t any theme interface, you have the complete flexibility to get your store designed in the way you want. This may sound like a disadvantage just think about it: you can get your website designed in the way you want as per your branding, as unique as your idea and not generic. But here is a catch. Hyv\u00e4 also consists of a UI library where you get the pre-designed &amp; ready-to-use interface elements that can be easily used in the theme. Using these pre-built elements, you can save time and still bring a personalized touch. You get access to these elements free of cost if you purchase the theme.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mobile-responsive\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an ecommerce business owner, it&#8217;s very important to have a responsive website that works seamlessly on all devices, especially mobile phones. People are more likely to make purchases on their mobile rather than on any other device. In 2021, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopify.com\/blog\/ecommerce-checkout#:~:text=In%202021%2C%20nearly%20one%2Dthird%20of%20US%20internet%20users%20used%20their%20mobile%20device%20to%20make%20a%20purchase%20each%20week.\" rel=\"nofollow\">almost 1\/3 of users in the U.S. made purchases through their mobile<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> each week. Hyva&#8217;s theme is based on the mobile-first approach. A &#8220;mobile-first&#8221; approach is all about starting the designing proces with the mobile version, then scaling up for larger screens and not the other way around. This is considered better because when developers focus on mobile screens, they first work on the essential content parts and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kinexmedia.com\/blog\/what-is-user-experience-design\/\">user experience<\/a> that can seamlessly scale well to larger devices. This leads to improved usability across all platforms, saving you time and money.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Custom Checkout\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a business owner, you know you just don\u2019t need the customization solely for the storefront but also for the checkout. Research demonstrates that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopify.com\/blog\/ecommerce-checkout#:~:text=Research%20shows%20almost%2070%25%20of%20shoppers%20who%E2%80%99ve%20added%20an%20item%20to%20their%20online%20cart%20abandon%20the%20checkout%20process%20without%20completing%20their%20order.\" rel=\"nofollow\">nearly 70% of shoppers who add an item to their online cart abandon the purchase at the checkout process<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
