i have some basic experiences , for example : i know html tags completely , 70-75 % css tags , 70-75 % of wordpress tags . and now i can start designing a basic (very simple) html template and convert it to wordpress . but problem is when i try to design some professional templates like ThemeForest designs .

Ive been working with websites for 8 years and I can tell you its very hard to create something amazing when you first start out.

Also themeforest themes take quite a long to develop and they are created by people who know what they are doing and know what looks good and what doesn’t because they have been in the industry for a long time.

yes , that’s true ! but another problem is that when an item rejects , the staff’s feedback isn’t quite well and i can’t find what is the reason of rejecting . they just say this : the overall quality of your submitted item doesn’t meet our …. a really really really helpful post i’m waiting for it here is that how do you find what are you looking for ? i mean , first , when you are going to design a template , what features do you looking for at first ? for example , most of TF templates have superfish dropdown menu and sliders .

everytime i tried to start designing , when i saw your designs , i have completely disappointed !

Same thing here. I start doing the design and I stumble upon some template here and literally get depressed because mine isn’t as pretty. I am planning to start by creating small things first like some web elements.

hi developers ! i’m a little newbie in designing and developing themes and templates , i have created 1 html template and 1 wordpress theme , but both of them rejected by envato staff , designs was unique and good , i don’t know why the items rejected . anyway , i’m sure there were some problems (which i couldn’t find) that the items rejected ! now i want to start designing as well as you , i started by searching on net , and found some psd to html tutorials , but i couldn’t find them helpful ! everytime i tried to start designing , when i saw your designs , i have completely disappointed ! cuz i think there is a long way between you designers and me ! but i insist on learning what you learned (theme designing) i have started with downloading ready and complete templates from internet , and changing the tags and css’es & watching the result . but i think this isn’t quite well way to learn ! how did you started to learn and design themes ? how much time did it take ? and now , how do you design your themes ? first psd then html and wordpress ? or a different method ? please help me !

Congrats on your first sale ! it is a great feeling

Congrats moccc!!!

Hope it will teach you many things Congrats, keep it up… Looking forward for the first 100 sales

Congrats!

first , you should know what you want ! if you want a blog (like blogspot & wordpress.com blogs) this wouldn’t be costly. but , if you want a personal website with a top level domain and a CMS like wordpress or joomla or … then you have to register a domain first (.com is about 10$) with a domain registrar and order an account on a webhosting service provider (20-30$/year). second you need to install a free and open source CMS (like wordpress , wordpress is the best cms i think ! ) . third install a theme on site , fourth start blogging and posting your content (items) on website . if you know some basics about starting a website , this wouldn’t be so costly . i can help you . Contact me for installing your website .

Nice! Congrats

Congratulations, great feeling

Good begining makes a good ending. Best wishes!

thank you all !
