The situation

A well-maintained store ready for its own identity

My Hair Shop was already our client, and we maintained their Magento installation. They were running on a Hyvä template, but it was built elsewhere and didn't reach the level they wanted for the brand. The technology was solid. What was missing was the frontend.

Our first AI design project

This was the first project where we applied our AI design service. With us, AI accelerates both the design and the build. Our senior consultants stay responsible for direction and quality. The goal: a distinctive, consistent frontend without the lead time and cost of a full custom design project.

Our approach

From brand book to Hyvä theme in five steps

The first phase we do together. After that Vendic builds at a fixed price.

01
TOGETHER

Set the style

We fix the brand book direction: colour, typography and component style. Every component carries the brand consistently.

02
TOGETHER

AI mockups

AI works out home, category and product in HTML/Tailwind. We compare several directions until it fits.

03
TOGETHER

Sign-off on design

Both parties commit to the mockup. The end result is fixed before the build starts.

04
VENDIC

Build the Hyvä theme

Our AI pipelines speed up the build, senior consultants safeguard code quality. Fixed price.

05
VENDIC

Distinctive Hyvä theme live

Live six weeks after the start. A distinctive store on Vendic best practices, with PageSpeed 90+.

Designed together AI-driven, lower cost Fixed price

The brand DNA

No template. We fixed a brand book first: colour, typography and component style. So AI designed within the My Hair Shop brand, not over it.

Calm commerce, premium conversion.

Why AI adds value in both design and build

In the design

With AI we work through multiple design directions in parallel. That let us compare more options together early in the project than a traditional custom design allows, and the direction was settled before the build began. The result: a distinctive frontend that fits the brand, for around a quarter of the cost of a custom project.

The brand book sets the rules: colour, typography and component style. AI applies those consistently across every page and component. The finish stays high — spacing, typography and component use stay in line, in the brand's distinctive style.

In the build

Our AI pipelines speed up the realisation of the Hyvä theme, while senior consultants safeguard code quality. So speed doesn't come at the expense of a solid theme: from start to live took six weeks, and the store hits a PageSpeed of 90+.

Common doubts

No. We start with a brand book: your brand's colour, typography and component style. AI works within it, under the direction of our senior consultants. The components are unique, the look is yours. At My Hair Shop the result is indistinguishable from full custom work.

The speed is in the design and the build. AI lets us work out several directions in days instead of weeks; that is where the gain is. The build is a production Hyvä theme that our senior consultants safeguard for code quality. My Hair Shop reached PageSpeed 90+: speed and quality together.
