Deedhold

The theme is in your hands. The platform is in ours.

Deedhold gives developers a modern Hyvä frontend and a stable platform underneath - with no worries about hosting, monitoring, security or upgrades. You customize the theme freely through a Git workflow; backend modules and integrations are developed and guaranteed by our team.

The backend is on us. The frontend can be on you.

Deedhold is a managed e‑commerce platform built on Magento Open Source. Admin access is a given; code changes follow clear rules - the theme belongs to you, the backend is guaranteed by us. That is exactly why Magento upgrades never turn into a nightmare with us.

Managed

Deedhold builds the backend

Our team designs, develops and guarantees custom modules, integrations and business logic for the long term. That is the only way we can vouch for operations and smooth upgrades.

Theme

The frontend is in your hands

Your developer, in‑house team or agency customizes the Hyvä theme without limits - through a standard Git workflow with pull requests. Design changes pass automated checks, free of charge.

Exceptions

Case‑by‑case assessment

Want to build backend features yourself too? After an individual assessment we allow smaller modules that don’t touch data, with peer review by our developer for units.

A stack you already know

No proprietary framework. No closed runtime. You build the theme on Hyvä and standard tools - and underneath it runs the open Magento stack that we operate and guarantee. Integrations and API →

Backend

Magento Open Source

PHP 8+, MySQL / MariaDB, RabbitMQ, Redis, OpenSearch - running under your online store, managed by Deedhold.

Frontend

Hyvä

Alpine.js, Tailwind CSS - a lightweight, fast frontend stack. This is where you build.

DevOps

CI/CD pipeline

Docker development workflow, GitHub + CI/CD pipeline.

Magento without the operational baggage

A developer’s time belongs to the theme and new features - not to keeping an online store alive. Hosting, monitoring, security, SLA, updates and incident management are handled by the platform as part of the service.

  • Monitoring and security 24/7

  • Magento security updates and maintenance

  • EU hosting with CDN and backups

  • Automated deployment pipeline

  • Monthly maintenance and security review

How development works

Theme changes go through a standard Git workflow. No FTP deploys, no edits straight in production. Backend requirements you hand over to us - we design the solution and build it. Peer review is paid in units: design and content changes are free, features depend on their size. Your plan includes units; each additional one costs €40 excl. VAT. Pricing →

01

Access

The client gets access to the theme repository.

02

Clone

The developer clones the project locally.

03

Pull request

Theme changes go through a pull request.

04

CI pipeline

CI checks quality and upgrade‑safety and notes on the pull request how many units the review costs.

05

Peer review

Design and content changes only need the automated checks. New features are also reviewed by our developer.

06

Deploy

Once approved, the change goes to staging and then to production.

Strict standards are part of the product

Some reviews may be tougher than you’re used to. That’s intentional. Strict standards - and the backend in Deedhold’s hands - are what keep the platform secure, stable and upgradable for the long term. If you’re ever unsure, we’re here to help. The goal isn’t to block development - the goal is to keep the platform healthy years from now.

  • No changes to the Magento core

  • Backend modules only after an individual assessment

  • Focus on upgrade‑safe patterns

  • Mandatory peer review for every feature

  • CI checks and automated tests

  • No direct changes in production
