It would be a good idea to add a menu item on your front page that reads " how to install our templates".
It was NOT obvious that one first has to install T3. It is NOT obvious that one has to assign pages to T3.
And nowhere is a word about the relationship between your Zen Grid, or whatever all your tools are called, and your templates.
The download pages are confusing with all these things one can download. Do I have to install your Zen Grid first? I can't get Focus2 to work.
Remember what Gauthama Siddharta, the Buddha said: NOTHING IS OBVIOUS TO THE UNINFORMED.
So, my first and best suggestion is that you start to put the things that are obvious to you but for nobody else, on your site, in sequential order, right now.
It won't take any work. No video necessary. Just a SIMPLE and direct list of things to do. "First you do this, then you do that, then you do such, then you do so, and then you upload and install the Template-of-your-choice version bla and then it will work."
Something like that. I am already many hours on this and I created websites with Joomla 2.5 and your templates three years ago but everything has changed. I don;t get why it didn't work out this time. MAKE A MENU ITEM RIGHT AWAY ON THE PREREQUISITES OR THINGS TO DO FIRST FOR YOUR TEMPLATES TO WORK.
What with Zen, Grid2, JB, JA, T3, Zentools, and all that???????????. Does one need to install all that for a template of yours to work????????? yes or no??????????????????????? If so, in what order?
Please, have a look at your site from the perspective of a new client instead from the perspective of a programmer who knows it all because he is in on it 24/7/365.
