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 respo…

Thanks a lot. I fixed that alert message. I forgot to remove it before uploading my files to server. You don't need to create any plugin. Also, you don't need to install any plugin by yourself except contact form 7 plugin (a 3rd party plugin). All you need to do is to copy/paste some static HTML in wordpress pages. I'm looking to provide a content import file for this in next version.

I was struggling with adjusting the screenshot image size when I used bootstrap responsive features on main site. It was looking ugly and I wasn't having much free time. So, I used the default 960px fixed layout.

You know Gmail ignores dots in usernames?

This is a bit hard on the eyes so try it as anujkk (at) gmail (dot) com. Also, Gmail has good spam filters :)

I wasn't aware about that. Updated.

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

Mind telling what's the issue? I find it working fine on IE8, except the fact that round corners aren't working. Twitter Bootstrap doesn't support round corners because IE8 doesn't provide support for the CSS3 property and pseudo-class border-radius and :nth-child.

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

Sorry. I didn't get you. Are you suggesting me to get some designer or you are talking about yourself?

Don't get me wrong, it isn't a bad design but I think your price point may be a bit high for what other competitors sell their high quality WordPress themes for. $30 can buy you a much more robust (custom -- not Bootstrap) theme on sites like http://themeforest.net, http://www.mojo-themes.com, http://www.woothemes.com, etc. You may want to look at bringing your price down slightly to compete with those bigger markets.

How much you think is a good price for this?

Honestly, since a lot of it is built on top of Bootstrap, which probably sped up your development time and would also speed up someone trying to replicate it themselves. I would say closer to the $15-$20 range would make it much more enticing to people who know about those other sites.

I really think that you might want to give it for free in a "Beta phase". Get some traction, add features and design and then charge for it. As said before there are much more robust themes for $10 more.
