The design is good, but he is right, it’s already been done plenty of times. The web themes here are saturated with the same style layouts over and over again. There needs to be something unique within the theme, and I just don’t see that. I wouldn’t purchase the theme. I’d look for something more unique, actually I just purchased a theme 10 minutes ago after browsing through over 25 pages of themes. The theme I picked was unique enough that there wasn’t anything on the site that look remotely similar and it’ll fit my biker accessories landing pages real well.

That may be the case for you but most buyers don’t look through anywhere near that many pages. The vast majority of sales go to the themes on the first half of the first page of recent wordpress themes and the ones on the “popular items” for the week page.

Really? Where did you get your metrics at to make that determination? I don’t believe that is accurate at all. Many people come to this site via outside referral marketing.

Either way, the design is not unique and that’s what ThemeForest is looking for right now.

Really nice theme.The only thing that I would add is some more content and less items ( on the front page ) – I am talking about the portfolio/projects. I think it will look better if there will some more “text” and less images in that area.

It’s just an estimate based on my sales and sales of other themes that i’ve kept track of.

I can tell you with near certainty that if an item is not on the popular items page then its sales will continually decrease the further it is from the top of the first page.

It won’t decrease if you continue to market it outside of Envato.

How does that make any sense?

If it will decrease if you don’t market it outside of Envato, and the sales you get from Envato count as sales, then your sales from Envato will decrease over time. If you add on a static amount of sales from advertising outside of Envato how does that total not decrease over time?

Thanks to everyone that contributed tips. The theme is now live:). Thread can be closed now.

Best regards to all.
