Why Default Filters Feel Dated

Native Magento layered navigation is functional but often clunky on modern Hyvä storefronts:

• Cluttered filter UI — hard to scan on mobile
• Weak interaction patterns — extra reloads and confusion
• Theme friction — Luma assumptions on Hyvä builds
• SEO/UX tension — shoppers abandon PLPs that are hard to refine

What This Extension Solves

Layered Navigation UX improves category and search listing filters with a Hyvä-first approach and Luma fallback.

• Cleaner layered navigation UX on PLPs
• Hyvä-oriented templates/behaviors
• Luma fallback for mixed estates
• Works with Magento attribute filters you already manage

Key Features

• Composer package toweringmedia/module-layered-nav-ux
• Magento 2.4 compatible
• Pairs with SEO modules for crawlable listing strategy

System Requirements

• Magento 2.4.x
• Hyvä Theme recommended (Luma fallback available)
• Towering Media Composer credentials

General Composer install steps for Towering Media modules: Installation guide.

Installation Overview

Step 1: Authenticate Composer

Add your Towering Media credentials to auth.json in the Magento root (same pattern as other Towering Media extensions).

Step 2: Require the package

composer require toweringmedia/module-layered-nav-ux

Step 3: Enable and upgrade

php bin/magento module:enable Toweringmedia_LayeredNavUX
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
php bin/magento cache:flush

Exact module enable name may match your package’s registration.php / module.xml—confirm in the package after install. Production stores should follow your normal deploy process.
