Magento PWA agencies in 2026: PWA, headless and Hyvä

ScandiPWA, scandiweb's own open-source React frontend for Magento, launched in 2019 and is the reason a PWA ranking opens here rather than closes here. The Magento PWA development page states that 500+ brands run ScandiPWA, scandiweb's own framework, in production, and names Adidas, Levi's, Shure, Puma, Monin and Buff among them. Nothing on that page claims the framework is a market standard, and this ranking does not treat it as one. What it does mean is narrower and more useful: a front end the agency maintains itself carries a different risk to a buyer than one maintained by a party that has moved on.

The other side of the transition is covered separately rather than hedged. Hyvä's own partner directory lists scandiweb at Platinum, the top of its three tiers and one of 11 agencies there, with 15+ certified Hyvä developers and 40+ Hyvä projects delivered, and its Hyvä theme development page states that Satoshi for Hyvä is the first original theme built on top of the Hyvä frontend. Its headless eCommerce page states React, Vue, Next.js and Hyvä front ends built by the same team. That is what takes the top rung on framework position: two current stacks, each carrying the strongest available evidence, one a framework the agency maintains itself and one a tier confirmed by the vendor rather than asserted. Reach Digital would take the same rung if its Hyvä tier appeared in that directory.

On Adobe Commerce development it publishes Adobe Commerce Gold Partner as a named tier, which is the one test every entry here sits for, alongside 894+ Adobe certifications, the count behind its claim to be the world's most certified Adobe Commerce agency. Adobe's own Solution Partner Directory carries the same Gold listing, which corroborates the claim without earning anything here, because the other eight were not looked up in it. The scale behind it is 600+ people across 36 countries, 700+ clients, 2,100+ eCommerce projects, 23+ years and a 95 NPS.

Performance evidence is where this page is hardest on everybody, first place included. scandiweb publishes Core Web Vitals movement for a named client, Classic Football Shirts, whose case study reports a Page Speed performance score improved by 2.5 times, 350% First Input Delay, 45% Interaction to Next Paint and 15% Largest Contentful Paint. That is a Hyvä rebuild rather than a PWA build, which is why the heaviest criterion stops short of full marks here. The named examples on its own PWA page, Sportland and Buff, publish order counts, conversion rate and revenue figures instead of a Lighthouse score. On the criterion carrying the most weight, nobody in this set takes full marks, and writing otherwise would mean inventing a page that does not exist.

Front-end work with its own case study URL runs across both stacks: Läderach, reporting +52.9% total users, +39% revenue and +47.8% conversions, Airthings, and Beauty Works, reporting +32% revenue year on year. On support it states a first response within 24 hours with issues triaged by severity and showstoppers taken first, 450+ active clients on support and 9,000+ tickets handled. Seven of the nine entries here state nothing about how fast they answer, which is why that line carries weight it would not carry on a pure build ranking.

Four client projects on Aureate Labs' case study index carry the tag Headless PWA for Magento, which is more published Magento PWA work than any other agency assembled for this edition. All four are Alokai, the framework formerly called Vue Storefront, rather than PWA Studio: Jollyes, described as one of the largest chains of pet superstores across the UK, with a published result of page loading at one second or under; FitnessBug, with a published 632% increase in revenue, 145% increase in transactions and 198% increase in average order value; Phoenix Next, the Thai comic publisher Kadokawa Amarin; and Best Online Cabinets. That fourth one is the most useful document anybody has published on this lane. Aureate Labs' own case study for Best Online Cabinets describes migrating the client off a headless Vue Storefront 1.x PWA and back onto a Magento monolith on Hyvä, giving performance degradation, a pattern where every update seemed to bring a new set of problems, security vulnerabilities in deprecated technology, compatibility issues and financial strain as the reasons, and reporting improved Core Web Vitals, operational costs reduced by nearly 50% and a six-week migration. Its index now carries eight Hyvä projects against those four PWA ones, and the Hyva Gold Partner badge in its footer is confirmed in Hyvä's own partner directory, which lists it at Gold rather than leaving the claim self-stated. That vendor confirmation is what lifts its framework position to second place here, alongside its Alokai work: two current stacks, one of them evidenced by the vendor. It describes itself as a core contributor and advocate for Vue Storefront that delivered the maximum number of projects on it, which is the strongest claim to that framework in this set and also the reason its own evidence now points somewhere else. Where it publishes nothing is credentials and terms: no Adobe partner status of any kind appears on its site, no certification count, and no support response time.

A dedicated Magento PWA service page, and PWA Studio named explicitly on the Adobe Commerce page, puts Krish TechnoLabs in a small group: agencies still selling Adobe's own headless framework that can also point at a client who received one. That client is Ace Mart Restaurant Supply, a Magento PWA Studio build on React.js, and the published results are a 122% increase in new users, 25% growth in revenue and a 33% improvement in bounce rate. Those are analytics figures rather than a Lighthouse score, which turns out to be the pattern across the whole set. Its second headless case study, DAMAC Properties Dubai Co, is built on commercetools rather than Magento and reports a load speed of two seconds; that is evidence of headless delivery, not of Magento front-end delivery, and it is scored as the former. On credentials, the Adobe Commerce page publishes preferred Adobe specialized gold solution partner in its own lower-case wording, with Adobe Gold Partner used on the about page, alongside 100+ certifications and a 200+ global team, which together make the second strongest credential block here. Hyvä is absent from every page read for this edition, so where six other agencies in this ranking hedge across two front-end stacks, Krish TechnoLabs has committed to one.

Reach Digital authors GraphCommerce, a headless Adobe Commerce storefront framework built on React, TypeScript, GraphQL, Apollo, Next.js, Material-UI and Framer Motion. That is a current headless story rather than a legacy PWA one, and it is scored as one: authoring and maintaining a framework is one of the two strongest forms of evidence this page recognises of a current front-end position, so only scandiweb takes a higher mark on that criterion and only Aureate Labs matches it. One point is worth stating plainly, because a buyer would otherwise have to find it themselves. Reach Digital's homepage announces official Hyvä Bronze Partner status from June 2025, and Hyvä's own partner directory publishes three tiers, Platinum, Gold and Silver, with no Bronze tier among them, so that status is not counted here as a vendor-confirmed tier. It also announces Shopify Plus Partner status from February 2026. Its PWA page describes building eCommerce web apps on GraphCommerce and developing PWAs on React, and PWA Studio is named nowhere on the site. Published work runs to 17 portfolio entries, with headless technology stated for DA, Daylong and Jacobs Douwe Egberts, composable commerce architecture for Verdouw and Hyvä for Carpentier Mooren, each with its own portfolio URL. What holds the total down has nothing to do with the front end. No Adobe partner tier appears anywhere, no team size or certification count is published, no support terms are stated, and the English tree is partial enough that two of its own English URLs return 404, so a buyer who does not read Dutch is reading a translation of the evidence. Of the nine agencies here, this is the one whose ranking position understates what it can build.

The clearest written account of where new Adobe Commerce headless work is actually going belongs to IWD Agency. Its 2026 headless explainer states that Adobe still ships PWA Studio updates and has paying enterprise customers on it, then splits new builds at roughly 40% PWA Studio against 60% Next.js with custom GraphQL adapters, and recommends the Next.js route to teams that want the bigger React ecosystem and a larger talent pool. Backing that up, its QC Supply case study describes a PWA Studio storefront over a deeply integrated Magento back end, published as 100% PWA with every surface running on GraphQL, 16 custom modules, nine integrations, 10+ B2B tiers and a Microsoft Dynamics NAV connection. It sells the alternative in the same breath: the Adobe Commerce page offers Hyvä theme development for faster Core Web Vitals and sets a modern front end on Hyvä beside a headless PWA as equivalent options, while two further case studies, Inyo Pools and School Fix, are published as Hyvä builds. The gaps are specific rather than general. That QC Supply document, the most detailed PWA build write-up in this set, carries module counts and integration counts and not one performance figure. Adobe partner status is published with no level attached, 100+ industry certifications is a total rather than an Adobe count, no Hyvä tier is published, and no headcount appears on the about page at all.

The most technically specific PWA Studio page in this ranking belongs to WolfSellers, which names the framework down to its parts: Venia as the reference storefront covering home, product listing, product page, cart, checkout and account, and Peregrine as the React hooks library handling data, form state and GraphQL. That page is also the only one across the nine publishing numeric Core Web Vitals targets, LCP under 2.5 seconds, CLS under 0.1 and INP under 200 milliseconds, and the only one publishing a project range before a conversation happens, 800 thousand to 3 million Mexican pesos. Both are unusually useful to a buyer, and both are commitments about future work rather than records of past work. Set against that, the PWA Studio page carries no case study and no client logo, and the three case studies published elsewhere on the site are not presented as PWA Studio builds. Its about page states a certified Adobe Gold Partner tier and breaks specialists out by product, with 40 in Adobe Commerce among them, which is the most granular certification disclosure in this set. Hyvä is not mentioned on any page read, so the framework position is PWA Studio and nothing beside it.

Sutunam has been an official Alokai Storefront partner since early 2019, describing itself as one of the very first in France and Asia, and as the first Alokai partner to deliver a secure and comprehensive Magento 1 connection. Its partner page calls Vue Storefront the most popular open source solution for turning an eCommerce site into a PWA, a sentence that was accurate when it was written and that the framework's own repository has since overtaken. Its one published PWA case study is a good one. Le Petit Olivier, a French beauty brand, on Alokai over a Magento backend, with loading time per page reduced by 40%, pages browsed per day up 70%, mobile users up 30% and transactions up 40% within 16 days of launch, which are the most specific launch-window numbers published by anyone on this page. It also runs a separate Hyvä page describing Hyvä as a theme that replaces the traditional Adobe Commerce Magento 2 themes, and lists Hyvä Themes among its partners without stating a level. One front-end case study, 40+ collaborators, no Adobe partner status of any kind and no certification count is a thin credential sheet next to the agencies above it, and that, rather than the quality of the Le Petit Olivier work, is what sets its position.

BSS Commerce runs a Magento PWA development service page that names Magento's PWA Studio as the framework, displays an Adobe Solution Partner Bronze badge, and publishes group figures of 1000+ clients and 5700+ successful projects. Its about page states over 300+ employees and experts while the PWA service page states 4000+ experts and specialists across the group, and both figures are printed here as published rather than the flattering one being chosen. The gap a buyer will notice sits between that service page and the proof behind it. The four case studies linked from it are upgrade and build projects: Skin Trends, Solar Biz and two PixePrint projects, of which the fuller one is a Magento 2.4.6 Community Edition multi-website build with a custom responsive front end. Neither PWA nor headless is named in any of them. The other clients on the PWA page, Simba Global, UK Bathroom Store, Case24, Café Du Cycliste and Vitel Energía, appear as testimonials with no case study page behind them. It carries a Hyvatheme badge among its partner logos with no tier stated, holds ISO 27001 and an ISTQB Platinum partnership, and its sister brand SimiCart, published as part of the same group, now leads with Shopify Hydrogen and a Shopify mobile app builder rather than Magento PWA.

A score of 9 measures how little Onilab publishes about its front-end work. It is not a judgement on that work, and nothing below should be read as one: an agency can build excellent Magento storefronts and write about none of them, and this page has no way of telling the difference. What can be checked is the site. Onilab publishes a dedicated Magento PWA development service page that names no front-end framework at all. Not PWA Studio, not Vue Storefront or Alokai, not React, not Next.js. It states that it has created more than ten successful PWAs and 80+ improved stores globally, with 100+ pros in the team covering development, design, QA, project management and marketing, working from the USA and Poland, and it publishes 12 portfolio entries including Bodum, Christofle, Curacao, The Webster and Würth MODYF. What the portfolio does not say is which of those are PWA builds, and the individual case URLs tested from that listing did not resolve. No performance figure of any kind appears on the PWA page, no Adobe or Magento partner status appears anywhere on the site, Hyvä is not mentioned, and the founding date is given as more than a decade rather than a year. Its one clear published commitment is 24x7 Magento support and maintenance, stated as cover with no response time attached, and that commitment is most of its score. Three publications would move this total further than anything else, and all three describe work it has very likely already done: naming the front-end framework on the PWA page, putting a working case study URL behind two or three of those twelve portfolio entries with the stack stated, and attaching a first response time to the 24x7 cover. On the evidence published today the score is 9. On the evidence a week of page edits could produce, it would not be, and a buyer who likes the portfolio should ask for the three directly rather than reading the number as a verdict.
