maybe you need to make the design more interesting, is somewhat gray now. Browse the items accepted as the reviewer said (the default reject message actually not the reviewer) :), and get inspiration from them.

I don’t like those circle in the middle of the page, make that diagram more clear. I visited the theme four times and only now I realized those are steps on a path not buttons.

A hard rejection with the generic message means nothing but “Your item has more problems than we can mention”. The author — in this case — needs to think about the overall concept, visual hierarchy, design composition (the placement or arrangement of visual elements), typography, design details, etc.

Your template looks flat and simplistic — almost like an unfinished template.

Also, the use of one color across so many typographic elements creates a somewhat “flat” appearance and reduces overall visual hierarchy, which is important for structured eye flow.

Here’s a more detailed explanation about Soft and Hard rejections – http://support.envato.com/index.php?/Live/Knowledgebase/Article/View/240/0/whats-the-difference-between-soft-reject-and-hard-reject

PS: I moved your thread to Item Discussion.

In your footer, your information about contact and the numbered list line-height spacing needs to be tweaked just a little bit (information seems crammed to me). Its different than the line-height of the information under “follow us”.

Your headings in the black rectangle underneath your (really cool) images could go a tad bigger and with a little more spacing between the image and the text itself.

I also agree with duro….your site is kind of gray and its flat. Add that little spice color :)

Check your spacing for inconstancies

Hope this helps! :)

Hi, First of all, it’s a good work try to emprove it. I find a problem in your drop down menu it’s not stable some time the sub menu appear and desapperer so fast when the mouse still over the menu item i dont know whay but it’s look like a jquery script anomaly… secondly try to use google font, it has better look. I dont know about your backend but it still better to integrate an option panel for your theme.

GOOD WORK ;)

Actually i think its a nice template, but there are issues.

The vertical spacing above and below icons is to small content text spacing (line spacing) is to small, much to small The spacing above and below overall middle content is to small

The footer again spacing, but its to simple overall

Well as i am concerned there isn’t that many problems , is just the lack of knowledge of “themefores rules ”, reviewers are very strict about the spacings, tho sometimes the spacing can work against you in marketing aspect, but that’s for some other debate :)
