Koding Themes Help for Shopify: Erickson, Brava and Atom Edits

Koding Themes sells five premium Shopify themes from Melbourne: Erickson, Brava, Atom, Elysian and Machina. As of October 2026 they cost $180 to $300 on the Shopify Theme Store , and each ships in several presets, so Brava also comes as Lyfted and Rogue. The themes are linked from the site of Whiley Mai, a Melbourne Shopify agency, and customer reviews credit its team with support. Koding's support helps with settings and standard installs. It excludes errors from customizations, third-party apps, page speed, theme upgrades and new feature work, which is exactly the work merchants bring to an expert. As of October 2026, 6 experts carry the Whiley Mai badge for these themes on shopexperts: 1 agency and 5 freelancers, based in Canada, the United Kingdom, Kenya and Serbia. Open with the theme, its version, and any code changes made so far.

I help online businesses make more money with what they already have. Your $100 in ads once brought back $1,000. Now the same $100, in ads or apps, quietly brings back less every month. You are busy running the business, so nobody chases why. So I start with an audit, the way a hospital starts with triage. A short call is the triage. A fixed-price read is the lab test. The results decide the fix, and the fix has a fixed price before it starts. Shopify speed and ad tracking fixes: for stores where the ads bring visitors but not sales. One example. A clothing brand's product pages took 15.4 seconds to load. Five weeks before Black Friday, I got them to 7.4 seconds. That is the job: I find what slows your store down, and I fix it. The same work keeps finding a second problem: numbers you cannot trust. The code that tells Meta or Google about a sale fires twice, so sales count double. Ads run across every product, with no check on which ones earn. Apps bill every month for work nobody has measured. So I also check what your money is really doing, instead of trusting what Google, Meta and the apps say. Then I fix what I find. I work with established stores run by their founders. To me, speed and ad spend are sales problems, not technical boxes to tick. What I work on, eight ways in: Speed check. I measure how fast your pages load for real shoppers on a phone. I find what makes them wait, and I fix it. Accessibility check. I test your store the way a keyboard user or a screen reader meets it. I check whether a widget sits on top of problems it does not fix. You get the findings in the order a complaint would reach them. Shopify deadline check. Shopify changes its rules on set dates. Scripts ended on 30 June. Order status script tags ended on 26 August. I find what has already stopped working on your store and what is dated ahead, and I make the repairs. Tracking and attribution fix. Meta Pixel, GA4 (Google Analytics) and server-side tracking. I remove the double counting and prove it in your own dashboards. Ad spend by product and the app bill get read in the same pass. Google and Meta recovery. Your products stopped showing on Google or Meta. I find where the connection broke and get them showing again. Sale price check. AI shopping tools, like ChatGPT, now get your "was" prices from Shopify. I check that yours reach them right. Builds and theme upgrades. New sections and modern themes, with your custom work and your tracking still running. Every change to the live site has a way back. Partner Seat. 25 hours a month. I watch speed, the pages customers see, broken links, tracking and app bills. Your work goes first in the queue. Each check is $285. If you go ahead, I take the fee off the fix price. Key results: Product page load time cut from 15.4 seconds to 7.4 seconds, 52% faster. Mobile PageSpeed on product pages from 18 to 28. The apps the client chose stayed in place, at their call. Two apps were billing to track what the store's own Google channel already did. I removed them, checked the tracking was clean, and took $199 a year off the app bill. Repeat clients going back to 2018. One store has come back for 14 projects over four years. How I work: A paid check first. It measures the real problem, no guessing. If you go ahead, I take the fee off the fix price. Work in stages. You approve each one. Every delivery ends with before and after numbers, and a short list of the next things I found. 80+ projects done. Clients in the US, Canada, UK, Australia and Denmark. Send me your store address. I will tell you what slows it down, whether your numbers add up, and what a complaint would find first. No commitment.

Koding Themes work its support won't cover

Koding publishes a long list of exclusions. Read it as a job list: almost every item on it is something an expert gets hired for.

Upgrading a customized theme. Koding's update FAQ says you can only update if neither you nor an app has changed the code, and upgrades sit outside support. A customized Erickson (now 8.4.0) or Brava (5.1.1) needs its edits rebuilt on the new version.

New features and custom designs. Support refers both elsewhere. Custom sections, page templates and layout changes are developer work.

Brava bundles and swatches. Brava ships with built-in product bundling and variant swatches. Deciding which products bundle and how options display across the catalog is setup worth planning once.

Erickson cart offers. Erickson has upsell and cross-sell blocks in the cart and on product pages, plus a slide-out cart. If an upsell app is installed too, someone has to stop the two from showing competing offers.

App installs and conflicts. Installing, configuring and troubleshooting apps is excluded from support, including apps from the Shopify App Store.

Speed and tracking. Page speed and analytics setup are excluded as well. Speed optimization experts take the first, a developer the second.

Settings help costs nothing. Koding's team answers feature and settings questions and aims to reply within a business day. Ask there before paying anyone.

Choosing a developer for Erickson, Brava or Atom

Before it troubleshoots, Koding's support tells merchants to revert customizations to the original theme. Hire someone whose work can be reverted and re-applied cleanly.

Can you list every file you change? A good developer hands over a file list with each edit described, so you can compare against the original theme when support asks.

How will you handle the next version? Listen for a plan: add the new version to the theme library, re-apply edits from the log, then check that app embeds and templates came across.

Have you used the theme's own sections? Brava alone has more than 25. A developer who checks for an existing section before writing a new one saves you money and future upgrade work.

Who talks to Koding's support? Tickets are first come, first served, with no urgent flag. Agree who files them, and expect a developer who knows the theme to need support rarely.

Signals to walk away. Core files edited with no notes. A promised speed score. No duplicate theme for testing.

Scope a trial. One section or one cart change on a duplicate theme, delivered with its file list. For a full build, look at custom theme developers. If the store is already misbehaving, our theme troubleshooting guide covers the first checks.

Koding Themes support hours, updates and exclusions

Melbourne hours. Support runs Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm Melbourne time. The target is 24 hours, but Koding asks you to allow one to two business days. For stores in North America or Europe, replies tend to arrive overnight.

What carries over in an update. Theme settings, page layouts, new templates, and app embed and extension settings move to the new version. Code edits block the standard update altogether.

How updates arrive. A notification appears under the theme in Shopify admin, with options to add the new version to your theme library or read the release notes. Theme Store buyers update for free.

Topics support won't touch. Shopify admin issues, SEO, page speed, analytics and tracking, legal and compliance questions, and older theme versions.

Trial limits. Shopify lets you try a paid theme before buying, but not edit its code during the trial. Test Erickson or Brava with real products in the editor and leave code work until after purchase.

Built-in translations. Erickson and Brava include English, French, Italian, German and Spanish translations.

Koding Themes questions: costs, upgrades and support

Who makes Koding Themes, and what is Whiley Mai?

Koding Themes is listed on the Shopify Theme Store as a Melbourne developer. Whiley Mai is a Melbourne Shopify agency whose site links to Koding Themes, and customer reviews name its team as the theme creator and support. On shopexperts, experts who work on these themes carry the Whiley Mai badge.

What does a Koding theme cost?

As of October 2026, Elysian is $180, Machina $250, Atom $270, and Erickson and Brava $300 each on the Shopify Theme Store. Updates are free for Theme Store buyers. Developer time is separate, and our theme customization cost guide covers typical ranges.

Can I update Erickson after a developer has edited the code?

Not through the standard update. Koding's FAQ says you can only update if you or an app haven't changed the code. Settings, layouts, templates and app embed settings carry over, but code edits have to be re-applied on the new version by hand, and Koding's support doesn't cover upgrades.

Will Koding's support fix an app or speed problem?

No. Support excludes installing, configuring or troubleshooting apps, page speed, SEO, and analytics or tracking setup, along with errors caused by customizations. It does answer questions about theme features and settings, usually within one to two business days. Anything on the excluded list goes to a developer.

What should I send a Koding Themes expert first?

Theme name and version, a preview link, the preset you started from, and your installed apps. If someone edited the code before, include what changed. Say whether you want to stay on the update path, because that decides how new work gets built.
