Hello there guys and gals.
I am trying to figure out the reviewers point here and to tell you the truth i have no idea what he means. I fixed a lot of things but i just don’t have a clue on a few things that he is mentioning. Any feedback would be great. These reviews are from 2 different reviewers.
Here is the theme : http://nitro-studio.com/themes/astrid/#homepage

Sorry to say, but this theme is not yet ready to be included in WordPress category. 1. Design elements are not consistent, theme uses more than one. Helpful link: http://freshysites.com/uncategorized/web-design-elements-that-are-often-overlooked/ 2. Design is not aesthetically pleasing. More info: http://alistapart.com/article/the-web-aesthetic 3. Usability is pretty poor. More info: http://www.nngroup.com/topic/web-usability/ 4. Theme seems unfinished too.

- The overall design and aesthetic quality aren’t ready for ThemeForest. 2. The animations are overkill. 3. Minimal templates can be clean and simple when you manage to handle the white space and details to provide a simple but yet unique template. But if you can’t, it will look like an incomplete template – blank template. 4. In this case, the submitted template is more like a ‘framework’ than a full fledged design. If you’re going with minimalism, you need to make sure all the little details check out.
