Magento 2 Hyvä Theme for Bathroom and Plumbing Stores: New, Fast Design for Your Shop

A bathroom is rarely bought one part at a time. The buyer has a floor plan, a tape measure and a fitter on the phone. Your shop probably serves two very different visitors: the family renovating the guest bathroom, and the heating contractor who needs compression fittings, traps and valves before seven tomorrow morning. Your products are in the system, prices are right and attributes are maintained. What may be missing is a front end that gets both visitors to the right item quickly. That is the job of the Magento 2 Hyvä theme for bathroom and plumbing stores.

We redesign how your existing shop looks and is arranged: home page, categories, product page, cart and checkout within the standard, customer account, header, footer and your information pages. The foundation is Hyvä, a modern and very fast storefront for Magento. Products, prices and shop logic stay as they are. New features are not part of the offer, and where a wish goes beyond design we say so openly and assess it separately.

• Who it is for: operators of an existing Magento shop for sanitaryware, bathrooms and heating, including web agencies working for clients
• What it covers: design, layout, colours and arrangement without new functions
• How it works: fill in the questions, our review, order acceptance, quotation, implementation

A tubular radiator in the bathroom, a flat panel in the hall, a towel warmer with an electric element: each type carries details that decide between a purchase and a return. Next to length and height these are heat output at a given flow temperature, connection type (side, centre, bottom) and the colour, often a RAL shade. The Magento 2 Hyvä theme for bathroom and plumbing stores turns these into a compact output table beside the price and takes the colour choice out of a hidden drop-down.

Then there is the ring of fittings around the radiator: valves, thermostatic heads, bleed valves, wall brackets, connection sets. On the product page we reserve a separate area for these parts so nobody orders the radiator and then stands in the room without brackets. A room heat-load calculator would be a function of its own and does not belong to the standard scope.

Bathtubs, shower trays, vanity units, long radiators and glass enclosures travel on pallets or by freight forwarder. That asks for its own presentation: the delivery method belongs on the product page, not first in the checkout. The buyer needs to know that a delivery date has to be agreed, that kerbside unloading is usual and that stairwells can be a problem. In the Magento 2 Hyvä theme for bathroom and plumbing stores these notes get their own visible field with an icon, directly under the price.

Design-wise we separate three kinds of delivery: parcel, freight with appointment, and pick-up. A small icon per article makes the type visible in category lists. We design the notice field, the cart message and the checkout page within the standard. Shipping rate rules and the forwarder's appointment logic stay in your system.

Chrome, matt black, brushed steel, bronze, matt white, brushed nickel: the same mixer shows up several times and prices differ by finish. Shown as a list of identical-looking tiles, this causes mix-ups. In the Magento 2 Hyvä theme for bathroom and plumbing stores the finish appears as a colour swatch right at the product image and in the variant title, and when the selection changes, image, number and price change together, as far as your Magento already models this through configurable products.

Matt black is a special case. Many buyers combine mixer, shower set and towel rail and expect one shade. Because manufacturers execute this shade slightly differently, a note on the series is more useful than the colour alone. Colour can also differ on screen, which one short and honest sentence beside the gallery takes care of.

• Round swatches with the finish name visible below the image
• Gloss level in the finish name, not only as a colour dot
• A note when a finish is made to order only
• Gallery shows the same angle in every finish so comparison is possible
• Combination note for mixer, shower and accessories in one finish

The shower is the textbook case of parts that belong together and are still listed separately. A concealed thermostat needs a rough-in body that is often sold apart. The door only suits certain tray sizes, the drain only certain floor builds. Magento can model grouped and bundle products for this if you already use them. The Magento 2 Hyvä theme for bathroom and plumbing stores gives such constructions a calm look: parts as a numbered list, each with image, a note on required or optional, and its own price.

If you do not run bundles in Magento, the design stays with similar articles placed side by side. Creating new bundle logic would be a functional request. In the review we tell you whether your existing structure carries a good set page or whether a designed information page is the better choice.

• Required part and option visually told apart
• Note on the rough-in body for concealed mixers right above the cart button
• Matching doors and trays as a tile row below the tray
• Installation dimension note directly at the set

Many plumbing shops serve both groups, and their expectations are opposite. The contractor orders by number, compares net prices and wants delivery to the site. The private buyer browses by style, reads descriptions and needs confidence about ordering the right thing. We do not solve this with two shops but with one interface that offers both routes side by side: a quick number search and a browse navigation by room and style.

Whether trade prices are shown separately depends on your customer group configuration. The Magento 2 Hyvä theme for bathroom and plumbing stores designs both states cleanly. Functions such as price lists per group or order approvals are special areas and are assessed one by one.

Whoever filters basins wants to sort by width, material, bowl or countertop form and tap hole. Whoever filters mixers wants mounting type, reach and finish. Whoever filters radiators looks for height and output. The Magento 2 Hyvä theme for bathroom and plumbing stores defines which filters appear first for each product group. Which attributes can be filtered depends on your data and your Magento configuration; the design of the filter bar, its position and the selected states belong to the job.

On a phone the filter bar opens as its own panel, and active filters sit above the list as removable chips. The category gets a short introduction at the top and room for longer advice below. Whether tiles show photo, dimensions and finish together is something we clarify in the questions on product display.

Professionals check before ordering whether a part can be fitted cleanly. They download installation dimensions, manuals and exploded drawings before they buy. On many shop pages these documents sit in a tab far down that shows only a row of unlabelled PDF icons. With the Magento 2 Hyvä theme for bathroom and plumbing stores we design a documents area of its own: file name in plain text, document type, language and size.

For private buyers the same area can carry a short note on whether installation requires skill. With gas, electricity and drinking water the responsibility lies with a qualified firm, and an honest sentence on the product page prevents misunderstandings. Whether that sentence holds up legally is for your lawyer to check; we give it a place.

In the Magento 2 Hyvä theme for bathroom and plumbing stores checkout stays within the Hyvä standard. We style cart, mini cart and checkout pages in your colours and pay attention to what plumbing customers need on top: which articles go by freight, which by parcel, which can be collected? A notice field in the cart sums this up. If your shipping methods are already separate in Magento, each gets a clear name and an icon.

A customer ordering a shower, a mixer and three traps should see at once that two deliveries will arrive. Price, tax and payment methods we take from your configuration and present them legibly.

Magento comes with a shop front that many operators find heavy: long load times, many scripts, sluggish menus. Hyvä replaces that layer with a lean, modern one. Data storage, price logic, orders and the link to your merchandise system stay as they are. What changes is how the visitor sees and operates everything. The Magento 2 Hyvä theme for bathroom and plumbing stores builds on that lean base.

For you as a retailer that means pages that respond faster, product lists with many rows that open smoothly, and a structure a developer can extend later without trouble. We promise no specific measurements, because they depend on hosting, images and your data. We promise a clean build on the modern base.

The trade questions deal with your mix of contractors and private buyers, your product groups, how ranges are presented, how dimensions are displayed, how finishes and colours are handled, the accessories and spare-parts area, delivery types for bulky goods, bathroom planning and two free-text fields for your biggest hurdles. Each question has an explanation that says why we ask it.

You need not settle any of this beforehand. Whoever cannot answer a question leaves it empty and we ask later. Only a few fields are required, so that we can reach you and review the order.
