Feedback 🕵️‍♂️ Needed for Our First Wordpress Theme

Hai,

You asked me through private message to have a look, so here we go:

FranklinM2 and LSVRthemes have already made good comments. Some elements are great, but some elements definitely need more work.

  • Headings; almost all headings-font in the demos are visually not working. Maybe you tried to be more unique, I should say stick to the UI/UX best practices in terms of color choice, size, and font-face.
  • Overall Typography; You should rework this: letter-spacing, line-height, readability, and hierarchy
  • Sometimes Less is More; not everything has to be flashy and not every section needs a (pattern)background. For me personally, it’s too much and too crowded.
  • Don’t fear the (white)space; Don’t fear the whitespace give elements and sections enough margin and padding and be consistent this will help to give your pages a certain rhythm and prevents the clutteredness.

Get the foundation/basics right first, before diving into the fancy stuff. Plan out (beforehand) the design language, set up rules and guidelines for your theme to follow. Because my general impression is that the design is everywhere.

Don’t rush your first theme, I see some potential but you are not there yet and it needs a higher attention to detail for it to have a chance of approval.
