OrmanClark doesn’t seem to have a problem with it either.
I don’t think he sets the web rules but that might just be me…..

That’s because he doesn’t. I do. ;)

Hey, thank you all for the feedback and remarks.

7. final point : WOULD YOU BUY IT ?

EXTRA : Needs to be 2011 not 2000.

I would indeed, for a hotel/restaurant in the mountain I’d definitely give it a try. I have used three different themeforest topseller items for hotels and seaside tour objects and they look really crappy without the demo content (although the overall quality and the details rock). Also, as I said – I don’t expect it to be a top seller, but I really think it has a chance for selling.

I completely agree about the testimonials image. Believe it or not, I have noticed it at a later phase and completely forgot to `detailize` it.

So far so good. Few of the ideas on the todo list:
  • changing link colors
  • styling ul lists
  • fixing the testimonial
  • adding more demo content
  • using google fonts color (or font-face)
  • considering the menu buttons (and other buttons)
  • fix spacings and letting it ‘breathe’ with more indenting
  • considering a lighter font color
I also plan to add few more pages and probably skin changer (although I’m not quite sure that 3 or 4 skins would do a seller of it, any tips?)

Thanks again for the discussion, it’s really helpful here.

It looks very corporate like and doesn’t really give the nature like feeling you are striving for, I’d suggest some colours and a better slider design, also a nice logo really makes a difference. Although typography isn’t my strong point, I can tell that it, too, needs improvement, the entire template looks a little cluttered. I’d recommend you to try and make it a little less corporate looking and a little more nature inspired if your intended audience is owners of hotels close to the nature. Hope my advice has been of any help!

-Also the navigation looks poor. Are those mouse over buttons images!? -Yes I agree the image logo is really simple…Too simple. -Add at least two more sliders, one that supports video – Anything slider is the de facto. -Shadows, too be honest look OK, I’ve seen a few other themes using shadows like this. -Testimonials as images? This is a no no. -The footer just doesn’t work at all. Re-design this change the font. Verdana just doesn’t seem to work here or the colour. -In the our team section the different colour blue would indicate a link. It isn’t a link this is misleading. Those images are pretty poor…I assume you will change this? -You need some widgets in the side bars. -Contact page looks non functional? Should be last on the navigation menu. -Long story…Should this be entitled ‘Typography’ -Could really do with a portfolio section, I guess this is a standard requirement. -Also, could do with more shortcode demos. -Needs a harmonious colour scheme to tie all aspects together. This includes same colour for links headers etc.
