Hyvä Theme Case Study: India Cakes – Online Cake Delivery, India

India Cakes, a leading online cake delivery platform, sought to enhance their website’s user experience, improve page speed, and provide a more visually appealing interface for their customers. To achieve these goals, India Cakes decided to implement the Hyvä theme, a modern UI library designed for Magento 2, known for its exceptional performance and customization capabilities.

CHALLENGES & SOLUTION

Case 1: Poor page load performance

Challenge

Our clients’ website was experiencing slow page load times, which negatively impacted user experience and conversion rates. The existing theme was not optimized for speed, resulting in high bounce rates and frustrated customers.

Solution

Weaddressed this challenge by implementing the Hyvä theme, which is designed to enhance performance. The steps included:

• Optimization: Hyvä theme’s lightweight and efficient codebase was leveraged to reduce the overall page size and number of requests.
• Caching: Advanced caching mechanisms were implemented to store frequently accessed data, reducing server load and improving response times.
• CDN Integration: Integrating a Content Delivery Network (CDN) helped in delivering content faster by using servers closest to the user’s location.

These measures collectively reduced page load times by up to 50%, providing a faster and smoother browsing experience for customers.

Case 2: Requirement unique features

Challenge

Our client required several unique features to cater to its diverse customer base, including customized product options, special occasion reminders, and personalized messages on cakes. The existing platform lacked these capabilities, limiting its functionality and appeal.

Solution

Our development team worked closely with India Cakes to identify and implement the necessary features:

• Custom Product Options: Developed a module to allow customers to choose specific customization options for their cakes, such as flavors, sizes, and personalized messages.
• Special Occasion Reminders: Implemented a feature to send automated reminders to customers for birthdays, anniversaries, and other significant events, encouraging repeat orders.
• Enhanced User Interface: Designed an intuitive interface for easy navigation and user interaction, ensuring customers could effortlessly use the new features.

These enhancements made the shopping experience more personalized and user-friendly, catering to the specific needs of India Cakes’ customers.

Case 3: Extension conflicts with theme

Challenge

The integration of the Hyvä theme posed compatibility issues with some of the existing Magento 2 extensions used by our client. These conflicts caused functionality disruptions and hindered the seamless operation of the website.

Solution

We took a systematic approach to resolve these conflicts:

• Assessment: Conducted a thorough review of all installed extensions to identify compatibility issues with the Hyvä theme.
• Customization: Collaborated with extension developers to modify the code, ensuring compatibility without compromising functionality.
• Replacement: Where necessary, replaced incompatible extensions with suitable alternatives that offered the same functionality but were compatible with the Hyvä theme.

This proactive approach ensured all necessary extensions worked seamlessly with the new theme, maintaining the website’s full functionality.

Case 4: Difficulty in achieving the desired look and feel

Challenge

Our client aimed to revamp its website to reflect its brand identity better and provide an engaging visual experience. However, achieving the desired look and feel using the existing theme was challenging due to its limited customization options.

Solution

Our design team collaborated with India Cakes to bring their vision to life:

• Brand Integration: Customized the Hyvä theme’s colors, fonts, and layout to align with India Cakes’ branding guidelines.
• Homepage Design: Created a visually appealing and user-friendly homepage, showcasing popular products, promotional banners, and customer testimonials.
