This is called a framework<\/em>… or “framework” (literal translation), okay, we keep the English name.<\/p>\n This sketch simply positions the role of the framework <\/em>:<\/p>\n With Genesis your theme is completely independent of the WordPress CMS, it is said to be a child theme of the framework<\/em>.<\/p>\n The customization of your theme (the design of your site) will not be dependent on WordPress in any way.<\/p>\n This makes a huge difference when WordPress updates, (One per month since 2013), because you won’t run the risk of losing your CSS changes.<\/p>\n Concretely, with Genesis, the two files that will mainly be used to modify the features and design of your child theme will be the functions.php and style.css files.<\/p>\n No need to fiddle with other files, the essentials are here! The most important features are at the level of Genesis and it is very followed by StudioPress, its designer! <\/p>\n It is a unique basic structure that in my daily practice saves me a lot of time.<\/p>\n No more crashes on update, it’s good for the customer and it’s less trouble for the developer…<\/p>\n More and more developers are getting into it and we are seeing themes that come out of the StudioPress<\/strong> mold and that we can think remain “basic, simplistic and unoriginal”.<\/p>\n ZigZagPress<\/a> is one of those companies that offers much more original Genesis themes.<\/p>\n There are also independents who master it, promote it or have definitively adopted it. In Quebec, I would mention JP from TWF<\/a>, but there are others. <\/p>\n Genesis<\/em> installs in 2 clicks like a WP theme, then you have to install the compatible child theme and everything works together, easy as pie.<\/p>\n The strength of Genesis lies in the fact that it uses WordPress’ “Hooks” anchors, which give the ability to configure everything without ever touching the theme’s source code as is done in principle.<\/p>\n The interface doesn’t look like those long pages full of clickboxes or functions to drag. At the very least, you need to have the basics to work on function.php and CSS and to have taken the time to adapt to this way of thinking about the code. <\/p>\n All PHP specific commands are available to license holders.<\/p>\n![\"Genesis](\"https:\/\/referencement-pme.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/genesis.png\")

Genesis respects the default functions of WordPress by reorganizing them, moreover it adds only the bare essentials with an almost obsessive SEO orientation.<\/p>\n
