looking great, consider bundling 5 clean, professional looking themes/designs with it and you'll probably touch even closer to home

by themes/designs you mean skins? That's the plan. I will provide as many different skins as possible and I'm also looking to integrate it completely with twitter/github/flickr/youtube/etc. Besides that I may also provide a visiting card psd matching the look & feel of theme as a freebie.

Right now, I was itching to launch it so I did it with very basic version.

Please provide suggestions on how else to improve it?

Have you tried this in mobile browsers? Looks a bit broken on my iPhone.

Looks really good. In fact I'm kind of envious, the base theme already looks better than what I was able to create using the same stack.

A couple of very minor things:

The buy now button has an alert attached to it.

The documentation is great, but it suggests that you have to create / install the plug-ins by yourself? If that's true it would put me off buying.

Hope that helps.

p.s It might be worth enabling the responsive features of bootstrap on the main site. It works well on the demo.

This is a good start, I would definitely find a designer friend to help out on the frontend.

Looks good. One thing to mention: the demo page at http://demo.strapfolio.com/ does not render the stylesheets correctly in IE8.

Yes and I know it will not work well in mobile devices. As of now, this theme supports only desktop and tablets. I will try to add some responsiveness if possible.
