I submitted my very own Wordpress theme here and it was rejected, saying that my theme was not up to standard and doesn't meet their criteria. cry.gif

QUOTE
This File Did Not Meet Our Criteria

Thanks so much for taking the time to submit this template. Unfortunately, due to our current quality standards, your template has been declined.

This template is not aesthetic ready for TF and it will be very hard to be improved and get accepted. It required many improvements in term of design, visual hierarchy, typography, layout and its aesthetic quality.


Anyone sold their Wordpress theme here? Any advice?

[edit: This is the theme I submitted to them: http://newbiestent.webuda.com/ ]

yes, your theme is still far from those themes listed in Themeforest.net. but, one thing I realized is that most of the themes listed in Themeforest.net may be aesthetic for the eyes but are not too focused on SEO and other things such as usability.

perhaps, you can start by exploring, buying and testing other premium themes and try to build something so good that everyone wants to own it, i.e. like Thesis theme.

good luck!

i face palm when i look at your design.

come on la.

your color scheme already phailed.
menu nav ugly.

link so hard to notice. you put pink on red?

post title size not same size in single.php and index/home.php

text padding no good.

comment form is ugly. how come text area so far away form input.

your rainbow can easily done with background top right.

make the code shorter and semantic.

not only for you to understand. but for buyer to customize and use it.

learn more about design hierarchy, color scheme, grid, type

Thanks a lot. I can't believe I forgot about background top right. Anyways, i've been studying 960 grid system lately, going to try to implement it later. Thanks again.

What about this theme:
http://manmohanjit.com/

I'm still working on it, currently I use it as my default theme but I'll be putting it up for sale later on. Do you think it has a chance?

Ajax comments, drop down menu support, WordPress custom menu's support and many more.

no, seriously. @kailoon sure no liking it.

they prefer heavy graphic, colorful layout.

3+ Letters? wtf with bright red and green suddenly come out.

link color not consistent.

CODE

body {

}
 body div#wrapper {
 
 }
  body div#wrapper div#header {
   
  }


why need to type more? like this simple cause it already id rclxub.gif

CODE

body {

}

#wrapper {
 
}

#header {
   
}



i know you want to try minimalist concept.
so keep it simple. you go learn from @bat.

you play with many border style(dashed, dotted, solid). no gooding.

.entry h3. this one i face palm. make it align left please. your UX got problem.

make it balance. padding. line height. margin.


@ <- go search these people at twitter.
