Hard Rejection Again – Need Feedback on AQ Personal Portfolio Template

Hi @charlie4282 & Everyone,

I recently submitted my AQ – Personal Portfolio React Template to ThemeForest, but it got hard rejected again even after adding more sections and pages. :pensive:

I took the initial rejection feedback seriously and made improvements, including:
:white_check_mark: More sections & pages to enhance usability
:white_check_mark: Better UI/UX refinements for a polished look
:white_check_mark: Improved animations with GSAP
:white_check_mark: Code optimization following best practices

Despite these updates, I received the same generic rejection message, and I can’t resubmit it. I need your expert feedback on what might be wrong.

:mag: I Need Help With:

  1. Are there design, UI/UX, or coding issues I’m overlooking?
  2. Does ThemeForest reject certain portfolio templates due to oversaturation?
  3. If I improve it further, can I submit it as a new item?

Here’s a preview link of my template: https://templates.amanqureshi.in/

I really appreciate any insights or feedback that can help me make it better. Thanks in advance! :pray:

Sorry for me to say this (because I always try to look on a positive side for authors) but this is just not good enough. It looks poorly constructed, and just one page unless I am mistaken. Dump it and start again is my best advice.

I’m wondering the answer to this question: After that product is rejected, can we develop it and send it again, or do we have to throw away that product completely and develop a different product from scratch?

@softbynet

You have to show and demonstrate significant changes in the product - this might be your documentation, the actual theme, the layout, the content, the name of it, so forth.

It’s no good simply changing a colour scheme :wink:
