Default Custom Website Themes.

I'm looking for some honest feedback on this topic and since you all know me the best, I thought I'd ask for your input in the matter.

A few years back I started a website called e-ztheme.com. The reason I started e-ztheme was because I was (and remain) tired of wasting my time heavily modding other peoples themes for my websites. e-ztheme was started as a means of creating my own custom work for my sites well at the same time, giving others a platform to use custom themes that are all interchangeable with each other that were running the same website software.

Some limitations aside, I managed to create my very first custom theme and was somewhat close to publish before finding a major bug with the software version I was creating it for. Since the sites running the software had to be re-built I pretty much dropped the project and haven't progressed forward since.

Now my domains e-ztheme.com and e-ztheme.net are up for renewal and before I spend the money I was wondering if it's something that I should even bother with. As an example of the type of work I'm looking at creating, I submit the following (live site concept, test site built and operated at 75% complete):




Of course with anything there are a number of Pros and Cons the main being:

Pros:
  • Custom and Highly Original Work
  • Increased Network Traffic/Exposure
  • Brandable
Cons:
  • Heavy Time Commitment
  • Not Fully W3C Compliant
Anyway, I'm aware of the issues facing me if I resume this project; all I'm looking for is feedback on whether or not anyone thinks it's worth wile.

Thanks,

Ken
