Strong conversion growth for Haibu - Tweakwise

Strong conversion growth - Tweakwise and Hyvä (Magento) is a winning team for Haibu

Our customers are in many different markets and use a diverse selection of platforms and other software. One of our customers in the wholesale segment is hairdressing wholesaler Haibu (formerly Kapperskorting.com). Haibu implemented Tweakwise together with our integration partner Elgentos in their Hyvä shop, with great success! In this case study, hear from the experts at these three companies about how they work together and why the combination is so effective.

Our journey started with a need to improve the optimization capabilities of Magento’s standard (Luma) template. Recognizing its limitations, we decided to take a bold step and integrate Hyvä. By partnering with Elgentos, who had extensive experience with similar projects, our goal was to achieve a smoother mobile experience and refresh the look and feel of our site.
We were looking for a solution to improve our website’s autocomplete, search, sorting, and filtering features. After considering different options, we chose Tweakwise because of its user-friendly interface, speed, and manageability. Our main goals were to improve conversion rates and overall performance, and both Hyvä and Tweakwise promised to deliver significant enhancements in these areas. Since implementing our Hyvä template, we have seen substantial improvements in our performance metrics. We now meet the Core Web Vitals standards, but we still plan to optimize further for mobile devices in the coming year.
In comparing the data from June and August 2022, we observed that the percentage of users experiencing good page speed increased from 70.8% to 82.1%, showing a 17% improvement. Additionally, the number of users encountering “Poor” page speeds has been halved. While our conversion rate has shown a positive trend, we acknowledge that it is influenced by multiple factors beyond just speed.
“After we switched to Tweakwise + Hyvä, conversion on search increased by almost 40% over current rates. We honestly did not expect this increase. We are also seeing a healthy increase in site search usage.”

Faico Migchelbrink, IT Project Manager

The integration of Tweakwise with Hyvä has been a game-changer. Our search conversion rate increased by nearly 40%, exceeding our expectations. The use of site search has also seen a significant uptick, indicating that customers are finding what they need more efficiently. When breaking down the conversion rates, it’s evident that the conversion on search is higher than the overall conversion, which is logical as users are actively seeking specific products. Our ability to capture customer search needs through inspirational content, a broad assortment, and good alternatives has been a key factor in this success.
Managing Tweakwise is efficient, requiring only around half a day each week. The integration process was smooth due to the direct collaboration between Elgentos and Tweakwise, leading to the development of the Hyvä extension for Magento. Despite being a new extension, the integration was seamless.
Daily use of Tweakwise has been a pleasant experience. Once familiar with its structure, making adjustments and fine-tuning the system becomes straightforward and intuitive. In short, the Hyvä and Tweakwise combination has greatly improved our e-commerce platform, resulting in better performance, increased conversion rates, and an enhanced overall user experience.

Enhancing front-end performance with Hyvä and Tweakwise

Our front-end team chose to adopt Hyvä for several compelling reasons. Firstly, Hyvä offers exceptional speed right out of the box, significantly outperforming the standard Luma template. Secondly, the developer experience with Hyvä is outstanding, thanks to its clear and neat codebase and logical folder structure, making it a pleasure to work with. Lastly, Hyvä uses much less complex JavaScript, which simplifies development and maintenance.
The integration of Tweakwise with Hyvä was remarkably smooth and straightforward. Once the Tweakwise extension was made compatible with Hyvä, the installation and usage were seamless. Although we initially missed a few basic functionalities, such as a ‘clear all’ button, we were able to develop these features ourselves without much hassle.
After completing multiple projects with Hyvä, we have had a highly positive experience. One outstanding feature is the speed at which you can set up the foundational elements of a project. Additionally, further development and adding new features are rapid, and it’s straightforward to maintain the website’s speed.
“The integration with Tweakwise was very smooth and easy. Once the Tweakwise extension was made compatible with Hyvä, installing and using Tweakwise was very easy. “

The Tweakwise integration is highly efficient when it comes to cleanliness. The Tweakwise extension is relatively small, so it has a negligible impact on load times, ensuring a smooth user experience. Our projects with Tweakwise and Hyvä consistently demonstrate excellent performance metrics in terms of web vitals. Detailed insights can be found in specific case studies.
At Elgentos, we have chosen not to build headless shops. The existing headless solutions in the market rely extensively on JavaScript frameworks, which add unnecessary complexity. These builds are more intricate, take longer, and may not necessarily deliver the speed benefits they claim when compared to non-headless solutions like Hyvä.
For developers who want to enhance their front-end performance while using Tweakwise, our advice is simple: the standard Tweakwise extension is compact and efficient, making it easy to work with without needing additional tips or tricks. The integration process is intuitive, enabling developers to concentrate on enhancing other aspects of their projects.

Additionally, we are exploring the possibility of integrating with other e-commerce platforms in the future. Our aim is to offer a complete set of tools that will streamline and improve front-end development.
“Since Tweakwise is well embedded in the Magento community, this extension was very important to us. So we get positive feedback from the community that we prioritized this extension, among others.”

Sanne Bolkenstein, Commercial Director

Hyva
The standard integration of Hyvä-Tweakwise has been available for some time now and has been well received by the community. Compatibility with common extensions was a top priority when we launched the Hyvä theme, as it allows a broader range of customers to easily switch to Hyvä. Prioritizing this extension was crucial given Tweakwise’s strong presence in the Magento community. The positive feedback we receive from the community underscores the importance of this integration, which offers customers a super-fast frontend with optimal search functionality.
The growing number of well-known e-commerce companies, including Haibu, choosing Hyvä, confirms our success. This validates our approach and encourages other potential customers to make the switch. Haibu’s impressive results after adopting Hyvä are the highest compliment we can receive, confirming that we are on the right path. Hyvä’s rapid growth and ongoing developments are shaping a strong future in the e-commerce industry. Our dedication to innovation and customer satisfaction continues to propel our success and establish our position as the leading front-end solution for Magento 2.
