Hi everyone,

I recently submitted an HTML template to ThemeForest, but it was rejected with the message:

“Thank you for your submission. Unfortunately, this item does not meet our quality standards and cannot be accepted.”

The template is built using HTML5, Tailwind CSS v4.1, and jQuery. It’s a multi-section business website template, including sliders, modals, gallery popups, and a clean dark-themed documentation layout.

Live Demo: https://digitalagency.datadssltd.com/

I would really appreciate it if anyone could review it and let me know what might be missing or not up to ThemeForest standards.

Thank you in advance for your time and feedback!

I checked it and honestly it’s not bad, especially for a first try. But this kind of layout and style was more popular around 2020. Now reviewers expect something more fresh in terms of typography, like better font pairing, more variation in font sizes, and proper line height. For a dark theme, the color choices also matter a lot. Try using a more modern palette with better contrast. I think it’ll help to look at some of the current popular or newest items to see what kind of design and details are in demand right now.
