Porto migration

Porto to Hyvä Theme Migration

Porto made your Magento store look great. Hyvä makes it fast. We rebuild your Porto design on Hyvä so customers see the same store, now loading in under a second.

  • Porto header, mega menu, sliders and product widgets rebuilt as lean Hyvä components
  • Smartwave module features replaced or made Hyvä-compatible
  • Same design and URLs, so customers and Google feel at home on day one

Why Porto stores move to Hyvä

Porto is one of the most popular Magento 2 themes on ThemeForest, and for good reason: dozens of demo layouts, a powerful mega menu and a huge settings panel. That flexibility comes at a price. Porto sits on top of Luma's RequireJS and jQuery stack and adds its own sliders, carousels, lazy loaders and a set of Smartwave modules, so every page carries far more JavaScript and CSS than it uses.

The result is a beautiful store that struggles on mobile: slow Largest Contentful Paint, layout shifts from late-loading sliders and poor Core Web Vitals. Migrating from Porto to Hyvä keeps the look your customers know while replacing everything underneath with Hyvä's Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js stack.

Porto features we rebuild on Hyvä

Porto mega menu

Multi-column menus with images and static blocks, rebuilt as an accessible Alpine.js menu that works on touch.

Sliders & carousels

Owl Carousel and banner sliders replaced with lightweight, swipe-friendly sliders that don't shift the layout.

Product widgets

New, featured, sale and category product blocks rebuilt with server-rendered Hyvä templates.

Theme settings

Colours, fonts and header/footer variants mapped to Tailwind config, so your branding stays consistent.

Smartwave modules

Features from Porto's bundled modules either rebuilt natively or replaced with Hyvä-compatible equivalents.

Images & lazy loading

Modern responsive images and native lazy loading instead of Porto's script-based loaders.

Keep your Porto design, or refresh it

Most Porto stores started from one of its demo layouts and then customised it over the years. We capture your current pages exactly as they are, including the CMS blocks and widgets your team uses, and rebuild them on Hyvä. If parts of the design feel dated, we can refresh them during the migration at no extra project overhead.

Content you manage in the admin stays editable: we make sure your CMS blocks, banners and menus can still be updated without a developer.

  • Pixel-perfect rebuild of every key template
  • CMS blocks and banners stay editable in the admin
  • Optional design refresh with our Hyvä designers

A clean exit from Porto's dependencies

After launch, your store no longer depends on Porto's theme updates or its bundled modules. That means fewer conflicts when you update Magento, fewer licence questions and a codebase any Hyvä developer can maintain. We remove unused Porto modules safely, after confirming nothing in your catalog or CMS still relies on them.

  • Dependency audit of every Smartwave module
  • Safe removal of unused Porto code after launch
  • Simpler Magento upgrades from then on

FAQ

Porto to Hyvä Migration questions

Something else? Ask a Hyvä developer.

Yes. We rebuild your current Porto pages on Hyvä so they look the same, while loading far faster. You can also choose to refresh parts of the design during the migration.

Usually three to four weeks. Porto stores have more custom widgets and modules than a plain Luma store, so the audit and component rebuild take a little longer.

We review each one. Features you use are rebuilt natively in Hyvä or replaced with a Hyvä-compatible extension, and modules you no longer need are removed after launch.

Yes. We keep content in Magento's CMS so your team can update banners, blocks and menus from the admin as before.

Porto migrations start from our Pro Migration price of $999 and are quoted at a fixed price after a free audit, based on the number of templates, widgets and modules.
