I'm putting together a site to help people find the perfect WP theme for their needs. What are the most important features you look for in a Wordpress theme? Here were some ideas I had, but I'd love the feedback from you guys.

* Short codes
* HTML 5 / CSS3
* Options Panel
* Localization
* Documentation
* # of Color schemes
* Compatible with plugins
* Responsive or not

Thanks in advance

    First of all I check out how difficult would be the customization. When I buy a wordpress theme or website template, I almost never use it "as is", but make some changes.

    I especially look for the graphic parts of the theme and check if it is possible to change the graphic easily if I need to do so.

    Thanks webshosting...

    So do you look for customizable options like being able to upload a logo, change the header, and stuff like that?

      Exactly. You wouldn't believe how many nice themes I have seen but it was almost unpossible to use them.

    Agreed with webhosting, first thing I look is the theme admin option / customizable option. Depends on my needs at the time, it doesn't have to be like a F-16 cockpit control panel, but at least I can see what options I will get.

    Second is documentation and how to's.

    The ability to change the header to something specific for my sites are a must.

    I would definitely say that I look at the customization and style of the site. I enjoy templates with new and clean styles that can be changed however I see fit.

    And how would this be different from WP's own themes page where you can search by a number of criteria?

    Oh, wait... you are trying to pimp your own affiliate site, right?

    BTW, there is no perfect theme... in case you were wondering.

    Looks like the ability to customize w/o modding the code is the winner so far!

    Thanks for the input guys. I really appreciate it. I'll keep all of this stuff in mind as I organize and categorize... you're helping me tremendously

    Most important thing is customizable panel to change logo or header.

      Documentation

      I think documentation is an extremely important part of any WP theme.
