Learn more about basic design rules – typography, hierarchy, white space etc. After that check good designs here on TF and pay attention to it’s details, spend lot of time with that. Then you will eventually see the difference.
Good luck
Did they really say that to you?
First I have to say that this design would probably be ok for some clients outside of TF but for here it is not good enough. First issue is typography, padding, margins etc. I suggest you to learn more about basic design rules.
Second – lack of uniques and that is also the most hard thing to achieve for template to be approved because it is somewhat subjective category.
In my opinion menu is the most problematic part of design, it doesn’t look good at all and also is not really functional.
Also, more imagination and attention to details is needed for design in general.
5. inline css not allowed.
6. The main preview should not be larger than 590px300px
7. Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http:...link… ( remove broken links )
8. make sure the html is validated
9. .doc, .docx, .rtf and .txt are not allowed for docs, you need to use our templates or a PDF: – http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/the-documenter/40757?page=1 – http://goo.gl/hdw6E – http://themeforest.s3.amazonaws.com/108_helpFile/Template.zip

Add more decoration elements, textures, graphic etc that you can eventually remove later for html wp category to achieve popular minimal design.
When coding services will be possible for adding? I would like add PSD to HTML service.

It can help you to have less sort-reject issue. but each time we upload new theme , it will have some new reasons for reject. it depend on reviewers.
Yes. Probably they buy more time and delay approving themes to avoid to many themes in one day.
At the beginning. First use some scrolling script and make “framework” with html. Then you can easy add html/css in every “section”.
1. JavaScript files need to be placed at the bottom, barring critical exclusion. [Modernizr, for instance]
2. JavaScript loaded directly into HTML documents (template files) should be CDATA encoded to prevent errors in older browsers.
3. The javascript should be JSHint compliant. ( I hope this one shouldn’t be strictly followed for all common j. scripts that you use. )
4. Make sure the CSS file is well documented with proper table of content

It would be best if they all are in one account, so I can ask the same question. So why should I give the HTML & Wordpress versions to be uploaded at his/her account? They must be in somebody’s account! It is all about agreement and trust.
No trust over internet. Psd should be on designer’s account and if you develop it later in html and / or wp those versions go to your account. Designer handle customers on his/her account and psd version of work and you answering questions about your html/ wp work on your account. Simple as that.
Why designer who can make psd to be approved here would give it to be approved under your account?
