How The4 upgraded Kube Contract from Kalles 3 to Kalles 5

Customer: Kube Contract

About: Kube Contract supplies textiles and finishes for commercial interiors. Its existing Shopify website combined the Kalles theme with pages built in EComposer.

Industry: Commercial interior textiles and finishes

A theme upgrade needs to account for the parts of a store that come from the theme and the parts built with a page builder. Kube Contract asked The4 to upgrade its Kalles 3 store to Kalles 5 while carrying its existing storefront structure forward.

The Challenges

The project involved more than installing a newer theme. The brief identified the header, footer and theme-based collection layout as areas to carry over, alongside the existing EComposer pages. The team also needed to review integrations and any custom layouts within the migration scope.

During review, the customer raised product-image borders and white boxes that appeared when switching variants. These details needed attention before the upgrade could be signed off.

The Solutions

Working through the theme upgrade

The4 worked on a preview version of the upgraded theme. The project record documents checks of the header and mobile menu, a search-bar issue that was subsequently marked fixed, and a footer review.

Following up on product-page feedback

The team tracked the customer's feedback on the boxes around product imagery and the unwanted white elements associated with variant images. This feedback remained part of the upgrade review before the final completion message.

The Results

The project record ends with the customer's confirmation that the job was complete. It supports a delivered Kalles upgrade and a review process covering navigation and product-page presentation. No measured sales, speed or conversion improvement was supplied for this case.

Conclusion

Kube Contract's project illustrates the practical work behind upgrading a Shopify theme used alongside EComposer: reviewing the theme-owned elements, checking navigation and responding to specific presentation issues before handoff.
