The Problem: Traditional Builds Are Slow & Risky
Building a Magento 2 storefront from scratch can take months. Detailed design mockups often fail to capture how the site actually feels to use, and misalignment between designers and developers can lead to costly rework.
- Lengthy development cycles mean slower launches, higher costs, and greater risk if the end result isn't right.
- Detailed design mockups often fail to capture how the site actually feels to use.
- Misalignment between designers and developers can lead to costly rework.
- By the time a traditional build is done, weeks or even months have passed – and any UX issues or new ideas surface too late.
- Traditional approach involves significant upfront costs before seeing any working results.


The Solution: Rapid Prototyping with Hyvä UI
LiquidLab's Prototyping Project tackles these issues head-on. We use the Hyvä UI component library – a collection of pre-built, highly customizable Magento 2 storefront elements – to assemble a working prototype of your site in a fraction of the time.
Hyvä UI includes 36+ ready-made components (headers, menus, banners, product grids, forms, filters, etc.) that are fully functional out of the box. By leveraging these "building blocks," we can copy–paste features and have a fully functional, performant store in less than a week.
The prototype isn't a static mockup – it's a clickable, live Magento interface running on Hyvä, so you can experience your site's UX instantly and realistically.
Visual Preview: Hyvä UI in Action
A variety of ready-made Hyvä UI components can be combined to prototype your Magento storefront – from interactive product carousels and cards with color swatches to navigational menus and account pages. These components are pre-built and themeable, enabling a realistic demo of your site's UX.











Hyvä's component library covers virtually every element of a modern eCommerce UI: filters with multi-select and price sliders, image galleries, customer review sections, product detail accordions, variant swatches, and more.

Key Benefits of a Prototype Project
Why invest in a prototyping phase? Here are the major advantages of LiquidLab's approach:
Our Process: From Idea to Interactive Prototype
UX Workshop & Planning
UX Workshop & Planning
We begin with a collaborative workshop to understand your brand, users, and goals. Our team reviews your existing UX (if any) and design preferences. We'll identify the key pages or user flows to prototype (e.g. homepage, category listing, product page, cart) and discuss which Hyvä UI components fit your needs. This step ensures we're aligned on the vision before development starts.

Component Selection & Styling

Next, we pick out the appropriate Hyvä UI components for each part of the site. Hyvä offers multiple variations for headers, menus, footers, product listings, etc., so we choose the layouts that best match your desired UX. We then apply your unique brand style to these components – incorporating your logo, color scheme, typography, and imagery – so the prototype looks and feels like your brand, not a generic template.
Interactive Prototype Build

Now the magic happens – we assemble the prototype in a Magento 2 environment using Hyvä Theme. Our developers configure and compose the chosen UI components into functioning pages, hooking up any necessary dummy data or integrations. Because these components are pre-built and tested, this phase is incredibly fast. In a matter of days, you'll have a clickable prototype of your new storefront.

Review, Feedback, and Next Steps
Review, Feedback, and Next Steps

We present the prototype to you and your stakeholders for an in-depth review. Together, we walk through the user journey on the prototype, collecting impressions and comments. Does the navigation make sense? Is the product detail layout meeting expectations? Any changes to the visual style needed? We quickly implement any adjustments (this is usually hours, not weeks, of effort). Once you're satisfied, the prototype serves as a validated blueprint for the real build.
