I’d have to agree…match up some of the fonts and maybe tame down the wavy lines. I think the lines would loook really good if you used your highlight over the logo to make them appear and them fade them out from the logo/nav.
One more thing, from the home page if you click on your details link under featured theme…I barely noticed the page changed. Try to make the elements theme page more distinctive from the home page.
Really like pretty much everything about this site – I lioke the combination of fonts, I think they work well together, I have no issues with breaking design conventions as long as it WORKS in the design.
As for the wavy lines, they add interest to the background, great stuff all round!
Great feedback, guys, I really appreciate it. Adding a few touches of color is something I’m planning on. Since it’s both a commerce site and portfolio, I guess I’d wanted to leave things mostly monochromatic so the screenshots and product samples stood out strongest. I’m also thinking of ways to minimize the number of type styles so it’s not distracting. Anyway, awesome to to be listed at BWG!
It is WAY to hard to read the gray text on light blue background, very poor color scheme. Likewise, the top navigation blends in too much to the background, so you don’t notice wear to click.
This site has a quite a few usability problems. I am very surprised to see this on BWG, as the site seems as a work in progress at best.

Liking the layout and style a lot, however I find that there are too many font styles, sizes and weights, esp on the homepage.
Could also use a splash of colour to brighten things up and to provide better separation between content areas.
Yes, I share your oppinion blue:)
Nice site with no much colours…
I really want to like this site, but for some reason those wavy lines are playing havoc on my eyes lol. other than that its fairly good

I like the arrangement on the Product page. Well played.
$60 Theme with bugs? Do I pay extra for those?
Everyone is right about the use of too many font styles but those wavy lines are genius!
IE6 testing?

Anyone still using IE6 doesn’t deserve to be on the Internet. I also dig the wavy line background. Good stuff.
Seriously. Stop complaining about IE6 testing. Now!
The wavy lines make this site.

Kinda hard to take anything you say seriously Lee when you spell “where”, “wear”…I can read all of the text just fine
@Rich,
Yes, I do acknowledge my misspelling. However, at least I do not make up words, like “Kinda.”
Wow ! what a great design. very professional looks
