On Monday I submitted a beautifully simple theme to the ThemeGarden marketplace — “Simplicity” is a minimalistic, typographic and simple addon for Genesis. If you would take a look and perhaps even buy it (for only $9.99!) then that’d be lovely.
That’s self promotion covered.
But it comes round to a more serious point: documenting premium themes. In my experience, documentation is poor. I appreciate that the likes of Woo have extensive and excellent documentation, but the same doesn’t apply to everyone. Amongst the best I’ve seen is a couple of lines on the website explaining how to upload the theme and press the install button. Whilst this is helpful, not saying anything else when the theme is the monster it was was a little unhelpful.
This isn’t just a convenient isolated example; I can’t recall a single premium theme I’ve worked with where the documentation has jumped out at me as being nice. And why would it? It’s something that gets done as an afterthought once the rest of the proper site is finished.
