ZoomConcept Reviews
Minor Problem Possibility to change languages is good, but it's not a good presentation. Find new icons, more modern more spaces between blocs -

Fixed this, I'm now using a custom 978 grid system with 30px gutters. Looks way better, thanks!
Serious Problem Your logo looks old ! Without much work on it, trying to improve it, a different font, an actual icon .... -
Jami Intal commented:
Okay lemme change that
Design these buttons ! The colors of the background work well together, but the whole is a little sad, boring. Find a color that contrasts well, lighter, or a bright color, perhaps? -
Jami Intal commented:
Alright, maybe instead of the light gray, I can do with white to get that professional look I want for this
Positive Feature I like your footer with the twitter window Summary:
Hi ! I think if your execution is denied, because it is not quite original. If you look at sites that are already available on ThemeForest, you do not offer something different. ThemeForest is looking for new templates, graphics and also for functionality.
About the layout, most sites offer 3 columns or 2 columns of equal size. This may be interesting to propose a different presentation, 2 thirds / one third, it's just an idea.
You should develop the ability to change language (rarely offered). Read my notes about the design.
Hoping this helps,

I agree that the layout is not unique, but my main selling point (which I'm having a hard time relaying to the reviewers in TF) is to provide a clean html5, css3 and multilingual site since there is almost nothing of this sort in TF.
Yea I have 2/3 and 1/3 layouts and even a mixed combination of 1/4 1/2 1/4 all put together.
For the language part, the theme has built in language translation editors and content editors. You won't have the need to use any third party plugins :)

Maybe I'll change the area of the "latest blog post" and "latest portfolio entry" into a set of 1/2 1/4 1/4 columns to showcase that capability. Thanks!

Jami Intal commented:
I just updated the screenshots!

YEs I find it's better, I like the color contrast ... I still do not like the logo ... You could make the icon in chrome? And I would keep a separation between the top menu and the slider ... Just suggestion ! Good job !

Summary:
Hi Jami, the main problem with your design is that it's nothing unique about it. There are two kinds of rejections on themeforest. Number one "the design needs polishing" or "make the design more unique", when you get this message from them i suggest you start over with a new design because making this one more unique will take more time then making a new one (trust me on this one). Number two - when you get some suggestions about changing things on the design, for example "change the visual hierarchy", that means the design is good except a few things that need to be changed, so my advice for you is if you get the first message (witch is a default message by the way) don't bother making any changes, you will loose much more time than by making a new and unique design, good luck.
Minor Problem Color
The use of color is quite minimal. Perhaps adding a little bit more will enhance the visual appeal to potential buyers.Positive Feature Hierarchy
Having the logo at the top left is successful. Too many people put the logo under a head navigation or what have you.Video
The ability to embed video will be significant in purchases.Positive Feature on 02_Layout1.jpg 1 This design is more appealing, then the first. Its would help to clarify the purpoase of the site, but client who arrive will know why they are there. Minor Problem The main slider
Try including bullet points to know how much slides there arePositive Feature Changes:
Try changing the menu style, it does not match.Columns images
Try including border around themMinor Problem on 02_Layout1.jpg 1 These arrows are in the potentially hide zone where you don't have any other elements. The suggestion: 1) make slider content narrower; 2) reveal arrows when mouse hover event. 2 Maybe using border styles here is not good point? 3 Simply, suggest you to place here only one item or decease the width of the video frame in oder to both pictures could have the similar size with the block above. Summary:
Contrasts between backgrounds (grey tints) don't look great. I think you have to do some key improvements to get this template approved!
Minor Problem perhaps more text? Positive Feature I like it New Idea try to show their flag as a key language for example? -
Jami Intal commented:
Do you mean that the current language's flag should be highlighted?
-
Sotir Nikolov commented:yes
Summary:
Pretty nice site do not know why I do not like it,
-
Jami Intal commented:
Is there something off? Is there a specific type of layout you do not like?

Yea the 960 grid system does have small gutters. I'll try and change this
