Genesis is one of the most popular multipurpose themes developed by StudioPress. In actual fact, it is a theme framework upon which a child theme is installed.
This framework is SEO-optimized and highly customizable. Anyone with coding knowledge can customize the theme in their own unique and ideal way. So, from a user looking for a theme they can use right away to a user looking for a place to make their own custom theme, it has got them covered.
In this blog, we are going to review Genesis, its features, and prices.
Some of the features of Genesis:
i) Gutenberg ready
ii) Responsive
iii) Customizable Header
iv) One-click theme setup
v) Lifetime support
vi) Unlimited usage
vii) High-quality code
viii) SEO optimized
ix) Developer Friendliness
x) Fast loading code
xi) Easy to use,
xii) Well supported and documented WordPress theme
More about Genesis:
It has many awesome child themes but they don’t provide many customizing options. There are color options as red, blue, green, etc., but you don’t get unlimited color options with it. Moreover, this theme may be developer-friendly, but it doesn’t provide much to the non-coder users. Also, the features provided in this framework are lesser than those given by many other popular themes.
Pricing
Genesis Framework is available for $59.95, and if you wish to access all themes and features of Studio you can purchase Genesis Pro, which is available at $360/year.
Conclusion
Genesis has much to offer to the developers, and with its child themes, excellent support, and documentation, we can estimate why it is so popular. It provides various third-party plugins and allows you to customize its child themes as you like. If you are a developer it can be the best framework and theme for you, but if you are a non-coder I don’t recommend you this framework because most of the customization in this framework can only be done by a developer, or if you like its features, you can hire a developer to create your site with Genesis.
