Magento Optimisation for Hedges Direct using Hyvä
Overview
Hedges Direct is one of the UK’s leading online hedge and plant retailers, operating with thousands of SKUs and a highly seasonal demand cycle. They needed a high-performing e-commerce store that could grow with them. ITQ Commerce partnered with Hedges in a phased engagement to modernise their e-commerce operations: improving performance at scale, and reducing friction across the customer journey.
This transformation began with a full replatform from SellerDeck to Magento, followed by a Hyvä-powered frontend rebuild focused on speed, flexibility, and conversion performance during peak trading periods.
Results: Driving Success
Since partnering with ITQ, Hedges Direct has achieved measurable, sustained growth across key commercial metrics.
Improvements to site performance, UX clarity, and checkout flow have helped reduce friction throughout the customer journey, particularly during peak seasonal periods when speed and reliability matter most.
