It is never too early to start looking for a partner. If your designs interest a developer (and yours surely should, it looks great), you will have a partner in no time at all.

squaredWeb – it obviously doesn’t seem like it benefits Themeforest in any way, but it sure does us designers and developers. The worst case scenario isn’t “getting rejected in which case you can still improve the design and learn a lot in the process”; it’s getting rejected again and again because your template doesn’t look good, and some rejected templates I’ve seen here in the forums really are lost cases. And the author, who has worked for months on end designing and developing it, has no clue that the template cannot be improved to current standards regardless of what he or she does. Getting such a template accepted would require a complete redesign, which the author may not be capable of doing. I think it would’ve been easier if he/she had known that the design would not be accepted in the first place, then at least the author could consider teaming up with a designer.

DeliciousThemes – Yes, that would be the safest thing to do. But I was kind of hoping to find developers that could look at a rough design and conclude whether or not it has potential. But thanks for the suggestion, I appreciate it.

It would be great if Themeforest had an option where a potential author could submit his/her design and ask a reviewer if the theme would be accepted if converted to a working template(HTML/Wordpress/anyCMS). This would save us designers and developers a WHOLE lot of time, since some designs are not accepted in the PSD category but are accepted as functioning site templates. It would be great to know if a design would or wouldn’t be accepted on Themeforest if converted into a functioning theme. Or is there a way of doing that already?

Each reviewer is an expert in their category. For instance someone is Photoshop might not be an expert in Pestashop or opencart so asking them is pointless.

If you submit a psd file, and it gets accepted, chances are it will pass the html, Wordpress and just about any other category.

The reason for this, is because the design quality for a PSD is higher than any other category.

The way I understand it, most themes that are submitted to the PSD category do not get accepted. But themes do not need to meet the pixel perfect standards of the PSD category to be accepted as site templates. My question does not have anything to do with PSD submissions.

I was just wondering if a person could show a design (which was not submitted to the PSD category) to the guys at Themeforest and expect a straightforward “no” or “go ahead with development, we will accept it as a site template” answer from them. That would be great, and ease the entire process, as developers will not hesitate to go forward with developing a design that they know will be accepted on Themeforest for sure. Provided that the development/code structure meets Themeforest standards, of course.

Need someone to convert my themes from PSD to Wordpress. You can view a tiny sample of my work here: http://templatepreviewer.blogspot.com/ Email me through my author profile if interested. Thanks!

Thanks

I’m a designer looking for a WordPress developer for partnership(long or short term). Someone honest and trustworthy and preferably someone that has already submitted and is currently selling his/her work here at Themeforest. I will come up with PSD designs which will need to be converted to WordPress. (I will only provide the PSD ’s. The dev should do the conversion and take care of support). The developer will get a larger share of the profits.

The dev should also have excellent Javascript and PHP coding skills. I would also like someone that can do the necessary conversions fluently and quickly. I hate when projects take ages to complete. I will also try my best to come up with good and unique designs as quickly as possible. Please use my author profile page to contact me.

Hello,

if you will give it proper proportions (higher), will rethink the design of controls and will work on captions (currently: too much text (anyway no time to read it since slides change too fast) 2) typography is not good–caption’ heading is almost stuck to text, heading and paragraph look almost the same) it will look quite twice better.

Wish you the best.

My thoughts exactly. Slider height, controls(shape and size) and captions could use a little change. And maybe even the footer, but just slightly. Nice overall design, though.
