Hey Adam, try to resize your browser, even with a 1600px width there’s an horizontal scrollbar (and in a 1024 resolution, it doesn’t fit into the window), vertical alignment needs improvements (the big image, the logo and texts don’t align properly). And the big image displays over the content when resizing. For information I’m using the latest FF.

Good luck !

Interesting thread, but I have a question… For example, I want to create websites for an institution or a company, they already have a color’s range (let’s say blue, grey, white). What happens if I select some themes here with other colors ?

I imagine that a customer would like to see examples with his defined colors no ? Or do you say them “here are some good templates, just imagine them with your blue-grey-white combo and pick up one…”

I see a problem with alignment : “become known” title, text under it and first column on the left, I would put everything in a grid as I usual say

... it really does cause authors to improve not only their submissions but their overall skills.

So true, I learned a lot here and my first goal was to have at least one theme accepted when starting from absolute 0 in webdesign

Hi Mosio,

My 1st item was rejected maybe 3 times (I don’t remember exactly), my 2nd wasn’t but it happens that some authors get rejected 5 or more times, it’s difficult but a good experience.

Btw I’m not a reviewer nor a top author

Hi, this file comes with one regular license, that means for one website.

This is a perfect example of well executed horizontal grid (18px line-height in this case)

Awesome design !

Thanks for the links, my bookmarks are full of links from this forum

Did you make your own vertical grid ?

And my next question : do you usually make your own grids or do you use specific ones ? I mean now I’m beginning a new template and and took the 960gs and I added the vertical guidelines, the body font size is 14px so I put guidelines every 21px (line height for the whole thing, even if I have some text at 12px). I may put a screenshot later

Once again, thanks all, it’s very helpful !

Yes I understand, if there was a magical rule for perfect design, everybody would use it… But it’s good to have some strong principles to start with.

Some time ago, I founs an interesting article about mixing fonts (some match, some other don’t) but I cannot find it I just remember that there shouldn’t be more than 2-3 different fonts but this is also a principle, not a rule.
