Genesis Framework Review


GENESIS FRAMEWORK REVIEW

In this Genesis Framework review we take a look at what this framework has to offer for Wordpress websites. It was recommended by Joost de Valk of the well-known Yoast SEO plug-in, by Matt Cutts from Google, and even by Matt Mullenweg (founder of Wordpress). There are of course no better references. The system is very safe, very fast due to great coding and very reliable.

GENESIS PRO

One can purchase a single theme in combination with the Genesis Framework or choose for Genesis Pro which gives access to the complete collection of 40+ themes that Studiopress (designer of the Genesis Framework) has to offer. You can then build as many sites as you want with it. You will also receive hosting for all your sites for a year WP Engine. WP engine is the best hosting one can imagine for Wordpress. You get full service, so they do everything for you. The server is completely optimized to run Wordpress at lightning speed and is very secure.

GENESIS FRAMEWORK THEMES

As mentioned, you can also just choose one of the themes and with the standard theme "Open Source" you only pay $ 59. The Genesis Framework can be used on any server. Most other themes will cost you 99 or 129 dollars. Below I show a number of these themes. Click on the images for a live preview.

There are themes for every conceivable niche. All these themes have a perfect code and are super fast. The ease of switching themes and installing them are certainly one of the strengths of the Genesis Framework.

SEO OPTIMIZED

As mentioned earlier, the Genesis Framework has the best possible references (Google, Yoast and Wordpress itself). The framework was developed by Greg Boser (SEO expert) and is written in the cleanest code out there, with no errors. Let's just say the search engines love it.

Apart from the perfect code, Genesis delivers rich snippets to the search engines via Schema microdata. The search engines love this too and ensures your site is found even better. Additional information is also added to your title and description in Google search results. Below you can see how well Genesis (= WP Engine) scores compared to other well-known frameworks such as Wix.

SEO SETTINGS

The Genesis Framework offers a sea of options for SEO settings, making the use of an SEO plugin completely unnecessary.

Genesis notices immediately when you install an Open Graph plug-in and will start using its data so that everything remains compatible.

GENESIS FEATURES

For the first time, I am going to report something to you here in this Genesis Framwork review regarding the Genesis Framework and its themes, which is less positive for some. As far as features are concerned, it is absolutely impossible with a phenomenon like Divi by Elegant Themes. I mean to say that with Divi there are endless possibilities to customize everything and build a very futuristic site. Also with Genesis you have many options and it works nice and smooth but the two cannot be compared in that regard.

In itself it is nothing negative for others like for me. I don't believe that a spectacular design offers more results than a sleek and good design, which loads much faster. On the contrary, I spend little time on beautiful backgrounds and rotating and moving parts of the site. Everything has to work perfectly and above all be displayed very quickly in browsers, which brings more money. I certainly try not to denounce Divi here, because I am also very positive about Divi. Also a great platform.

GENESIS THEME UPDATES

Since themes in the Genesis Framework are automatically used as a child theme, any changes you made to your design are never removed in the case of automatic Wordpress updates.

GENESIS THEME SECURITY

Given the high professional level of the developers, the code is resistant to hackers. As soon as there is a new version, your theme will also automatically upgrade if you have set it that way. Due to the clean code that is used, no errors occur in the design after an upgrade, which is often the case with many other themes. Many themes also have code that is prone to being hacked and here you have the guarantee that this will not happen, especially if you use their perfect WP Engine.

GENESIS PRICING

There are 4 options for beginners through to full time pros. The cheapest option is to use Genesis Framework with their Open Source theme. This costs $ 59 and you can compare this with Astra or Generatepress which are very fast, quite sober, very popular themes. Option 2 is one of the 40 themes to find out what specializes in your niche. The cost is $ 99 to $ 129. Option 3 is Genesis Pro, this gives you access to all 40 themes and you can build as many sites as you want. Genesis Pro costs $ 360 per year. Option 4 is WP Engine, with this you are on their WordPress specialized server with your websites which makes them really fast and you have nothing to worry about and manage CDN and much more. Click the link to know more. Highly recommended, but of course more expensive than the previous options. With WP Engine you automatically get access to Genesis Pro.

GENESIS THEME REVIEW CONCLUSION

For starters, thanks for reading this Genesis Framework Review to the end. The Genesis Framework really belongs to the top frameworks out there. The only thing that can be noticed is that the Themes are less customizable compared to those of some competitors like Divi. Of course this is not the most important for everyone. I would say for a serious company this is better than Divi. Especially if you take WP Engine which takes everything out of your hands and they make your sites really fast is great.
