It’s a wrap! We successfully talked about Magento’s game changer!

21. September 2023
Niš, Serbia

Poor Performance

Frustrating your customers

You know you have experienced slow webshops on the Magento platform and aren’t the only one. Without some serious development, that was the Magento reality.

That WAS the Magento reality. Now, the reality is easily achievable 90+ Pagespeed scores.

Complex development

Frustrating your developers

You know that merchants’ time is precious. And we gave everything to shorten the development process, but it was sometimes still unnecessarily complex.

That WAS the past. Now, the reality is easily achievable clients’ deadlines.

Lagging conversion rates

Frustrating your sales

Slow websites, poor user experience and inability to quickly respond to opportunities for improvement.

Ingredients for optimal conversion rates were missing. Now, the reality is an optimized conversion rate from the start!

This new reality has a name.
Hyvä Theme.

Come to our Hyvä Meetup 2023 in Niš, and let’s talk about these and other benefits of using the Hyvä theme on your Magento webshop!

Our attendees ended up with:

 Lasting Impact: Apply gained knowledge to help you make better decisions.

 Actionable Takeaways: Implement practical tips and techniques to build your first Hyvä store.

 Inspiring Triumphs: Be inspired by real Hyvä success stories and learn how you can implement industry best practices.

 Valuable Insights: Gain valuable insights into the future of Magento through engaging presentations, discussions, and real-life success stories.
 New connections: Corona is over. It’s time for the Magento community to come together again and catch-up. This Hyvä Meetup is the perfect opportunity to touch base again.

“Over the last couple of years, Adobe / Magento faced heavy competition from other e-commerce software solutions. Shopify, Shopware and others were able to gain popularity over Magento. The most heard reasons for this shift were coding complexity and performance. With Hyvä, the cards have turned again in favour of Magento. Less complexity and the best performance in the market. It’s no longer a struggle to pass the Google Core Web Vitals, for example. If you want to learn about this true game-changer in the Magento world, you should not miss out on this meet-up. Come to learn about Hyvä from experienced performance specialists, product owners and merchants.”

Emile Koolstra, Owner of Younify

Agenda

Thank to the industry experts who shared their knowledge, experiences and vision for the future of Magento.

In addition to great speakers, a new concept was realised – the “Unconference” session! The non-conference session had no agenda nor official speakers but just a group of like-minded people chatting about various topics. An unconference session is a space with inspiring and positive energy.

We are glad visitors returned home with valuable information and fun experiences after our Meetup. And take a closer look at the exact agenda of our past event…

We aimed to showcase Serbian’s exceptional talent and potential while bridging the gap between companies seeking top-notch IT solutions and brilliant developers and marketing agencies in Serbia.
