Minor Problem on original 1 I dont like the glow effect you have and the navigation looks too big. there's a spelling mistake also. 2 what will happen if you had to include a black or darker color logo? it won't be visible on this. better have another colour scheme for darker color logos with lighter background. just my thought :) 3 this part is a bit distracting. :) Serious Problem on original 1 do you really want to keep this here? what about moving this part down? Positive Feature on original 1 Like this part! nice! Summary:
Hi Ron, This looks OK, but not that great. i like the color combination and the layout (Its a standard layout, but well organized). good luck!

Summary:
This is very similar to a large majority of the themes on ThemeForest.
I would absolutely code this for Wordpress.
I would also include as many customization options as possible.
Fonts Color Schemes Different Textures/BG Patterns Widgets Slider Options Portfolio listing and viewing options Contact Form/form styling
As far as the design, I would introduce something to create more visual interest. Something as simple as making the very bottom footer area black or a darker gray and using a slight bg gray behing the bottom row of widgets.
I assume you're using a grid, does the horizontal spacing between the right row of thumbnails on latest work an the latest tween widget a little small than the rest?
Also I see curved edges on the thumbnails in the top row of widgets and on the slider boxes, but not on the slider image, or any other thumbnail. I would look for more consistency. I would also pop some interior template together and post them here.

Ron Kantor commented:im using 960 grid and width between them is 20px exactly, strange that it looks like it smaller.

Positive Feature on original 1 If this is accordeon, i like the idea New Idea on original 1 Make it red, or other hot color. 2 I would like to see this header in light blue, like bottom part. Summary:
I like the layout. Classic for this time, not overdesigned, great template for selling in my opinion. Middle scores , becouse its just nice. I dont have WOW effect
Serious Problem on update after your feedbacks 1 Don't use the glow effect. The underline is enough for highlighting the active state in the nav. You could also try a different color for the active state but I think the underline is sufficient. 2 Centering the 'read more' button is an interesting idea but it would work better aligned left/right. 3 The padding on the bottom of these boxes looks smaller than the left/right padding. Critical Problem on update after your feedbacks 1 The Navigation, Call to Action, and other Headings all look like they have different fonts. And honestly, I don't particularly like any of the font styles. You should first make all of the headings the same font. It's fine to use a different font for the main text, but the headings should be same (unless you're a ninja with typography and know how to implement more than one heading font). 2 The padding on the left of the Twitter box is smaller than the padding on the right. 3 If this is your call to action, it's WAY too small. Not to mention a poor location choice for a 3D banner. 4 Check your grammar. Should be "Contact Us". Also in the footer nav. Positive Feature on update after your feedbacks 1 I'm assuming you're doing a toggle drop down here? I think it's a nice idea but what happens when someone adds long content to a dropdown and it makes it longer than the slider container? Summary:
In general, it looks great but it won't be approved on in the WordPress category on ThemeForest right away. I'm just going to point out a few specific things I noticed on the left.
<=
One final note, the WordPress category on ThemeForest is getting tough on accepting items that offer something new to the marketplace. Even though I think it's a great start to your design, there's nothing particularly new or exciting about this layout that hasn't already been done. The reviewer might give you a hard time about that too.
I also think with a few adjustments, it would get approved for the site template category.
Summary:
I would just make the shuttle image go from one end of the page to the other... I'm OCD like that... I also like the second page better, with the larger hyperlinks.
Good job
There will be color schemes :)
