Although you can create child themes, but the need has been taken off, by bringing in the <strong>Hooks<\/strong> feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The theme (premium version) includes almost everything. Therefore, you need not worry about speed and issues involved in installing other plugins for carrying out various customization tasks.

Moreover, these child themes also lack certain customization options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For such options you might need to download additional plugins. Although Genesis has dedicated plugins that get support from the StudioPress community. While some plugins are available free of cost, but others will cost you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plugins like the following will improve customization and give your site a beautiful look&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Genesis Dynamik Website Builder<\/li><li>Genesis Simple Edits<\/li><li>Genesis Custom Footers<\/li><li>Genesis Design Palette Pro<\/li><li>Genesis Responsive Menu<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This has a <strong>DOWN SIDE<\/strong>. Installing more plugins will hamper the overall speed of the website and that deteriorates <strong>Site Performance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the contrary, if you are good at coding or have a dedicated website developer. Then there shouldn&#8217;t be any problem with respect to your website&#8217;s <strong>Page Loading Speed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Winner: GeneratePress<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GeneratePress_Customization\"><\/span><strong>GeneratePress Customization<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>GeneratePress uses a modular approach. It has almost all the modules which are required to create a fully functional beautiful website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can activate\/deactivate the modules as required. A million thanks for developing this type of theme. Reason being, this approach always helps in loading the site much faster. For example, I have deactivated <strong>Backgrounds<\/strong>, <strong>Disable Elements<\/strong>, <strong>Secondary Nav<\/strong>, <strong>Sections<\/strong>, and <strong>WooCommerce<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"643\" src=\"https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/generatepress-few-options-deactivated.jpg\" alt=\"generatepress modules can be activated\/deactivated\" class=\"wp-image-573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/generatepress-few-options-deactivated.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/generatepress-few-options-deactivated-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/generatepress-few-options-deactivated-768x617.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In GeneratePress you can customize the following in much more detail, compared to Genesis;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Layout<\/li><li>Colors<\/li><li>Typography<\/li><li>Background Images<\/li><li>Widgets<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For performing such detailed level of customization in Genesis, you will either need to download additional plugins or be very good at coding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/generatepress-color-2.jpg\" alt=\"generatepress color customization\" class=\"wp-image-570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/generatepress-color-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/generatepress-color-2-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/generatepress-color-2-768x486.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I have added a screenshot of <strong>Color Customization<\/strong> available with GeneratePress.

Users are much dependent on writing codes and adding it to the <strong>Additional CSS<\/strong> area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps, you can create stunningly beautiful websites in Genesis by using additional dedicated plugins. There is a limitation to this as well. Since, few plugins are available for free, while the rest are paid ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"802\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/genesis-plugins.jpg\" alt=\"genesis dedicated plugins for customization and simple edits\" class=\"wp-image-571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/genesis-plugins.jpg 802w, https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/genesis-plugins-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/genesis-plugins-768x395.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 802px) 100vw, 802px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the <strong>Design Palette Pro<\/strong> created by StudioPress is an awesome plugin (page builder), specially created for Genesis. A website created using Genesis and Design Palette Pro will be at par with a website created using <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Elementor<\/a> and GeneratePress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/design-palette-pro.jpg\" alt=\"design palette pro\" class=\"wp-image-572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/design-palette-pro.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/design-palette-pro-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/design-palette-pro-768x574.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, it does not come for free. The basic plan for 1 year will itself cost you $49 for a single license. It&#8217;s the price you will need to pay if you do not know how to code or don&#8217;t want to hire a website developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, you will need to install Dedicated or 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Party plugins in Genesis for performing customization. But, GeneratePress let&#8217;s you perform almost all types of customizations without the use of plugins or any page builders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Winner: GeneratePress (As the theme comes with lots of in-built customizing options)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GeneratePress_vs_Genesis_Popularity\"><\/span><strong>GeneratePress vs Genesis Popularity<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After comparing both these themes on <a href=\"https:\/\/trends.google.com\/trends\/?geo=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Trends<\/a> I saw some very unusual results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following is the screenshot of GeneratePress vs Genesis Framework, worldwide comparison of last 5 years, as of 16th October 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"802\" height=\"370\" src=\"https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/generatepress-vs-genesis-popularity.jpg\" alt=\"generatepress vs genesis google trends popularity compared\" class=\"wp-image-574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/generatepress-vs-genesis-popularity.jpg 802w, https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/generatepress-vs-genesis-popularity-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/generatepress-vs-genesis-popularity-768x354.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 802px) 100vw, 802px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see that Genesis was at its peak 5 years ago. But slowly, due to the advent of modular approach themes like <a href=\"https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/generatepress-vs-astra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GeneratePress<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/wpastra.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Astra<\/a>, it has lost a lot of popularity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GeneratePress was first created and released somewhere about 6 years ago and that is what we are seeing here &#8211; the rise of its popularity ever since. There can mainly be two reasons for this;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>If you are not going to develop your own theme, then you need to buy a Child Theme after buying the <strong>Parent Theme<\/strong> of Genesis (Genesis Framework). This becomes an expensive purchase.<\/li><li>In <strong>Modular Style Themes<\/strong> you can deactivate the features which you no longer need. That drastically increases the <strong>Performance<\/strong> of the site. Genesis does not offer this capability.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Winner: GeneratePress<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GeneratePress_User_Friendliness\"><\/span><strong>GeneratePress User Friendliness<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both GeneratePress and Genesis are user-friendly WordPress themes. But, GeneratePress gets a step ahead and provides all its features in the basis of <strong>Modules<\/strong> that can be enabled\/disabled as per your requirement. Hence, you can see the rise in their popularity and usage among all types of website owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"258\" height=\"429\" src=\"https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/generatepress-options.jpg\" alt=\"generatepress user friendliness- theme options in one line\" class=\"wp-image-575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/generatepress-options.jpg 258w, https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/generatepress-options-180x300.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 258px) 100vw, 258px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When you talk about <strong>Theme Customization<\/strong>, all the features are neatly arranged in one single line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"802\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/generatepress-appearance-section-1.jpg\" alt=\"generatepress elements section under appearance\" class=\"wp-image-578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/generatepress-appearance-section-1.jpg 802w, https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/generatepress-appearance-section-1-300x147.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bloggingidol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/generatepress-appearance-section-1-768x375.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 802px) 100vw, 802px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Right after you install these themes you can easily find all the features available under the&nbsp;<strong>Appearance<\/strong>&nbsp;section on your WordPress dashboard.

Although, Genesis lacks other customization options within a site, and you will need to rely on Dedicated\/3<sup>rd<\/sup> Party Plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand GeneratePress is just too good and has lots of customization options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_GeneratePress_If\"><\/span><strong>Use GeneratePress If<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>You want to pay for 1 theme that includes everything in it (even 60+ Pre-made Site Templates).<\/li><li>You&#8217;re that type of a person, who enjoys making websites by quickly dragging and dropping multiple elements.<\/li><li>You&#8217;d like to build fast, SEO-friendly, and beautiful websites without using any page builders.<\/li><li>Coding doesn&#8217;t seem to excite you, but you still want to create beautiful websites that give a <strong>WOW<\/strong> feeling.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Genesis_If\"><\/span><strong>Use Genesis If<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>You do not mind paying for both Parent Theme (The Genesis Framework) and Child Themes.<\/li><li>You are going to buy the Genesis Framework and code everything else by your own.<\/li><li>You&#8217;re into website development business and have a team for doing all the coding work.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I am much of a <strong>DIY<\/strong> person, so I made a call with GeneratePress. Also, I found out that at some point of time your website would need a super professional touch-up. With Genesis, you&#8217;d either know how to code well or would need to hire a professional developer from the StudioPress Community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it come to GeneratePress vs Genesis, the final choice should be yours. However, I hope this article must have helped you in gaining insights, so that you can take the right decision based on your needs and situation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-socializer wpsr-share-icons\" data-lg-action=\"show\" data-sm-action=\"show\" data-sm-width=\"768\"><p><b><i>Share and Enjoy !<\/b><\/i><\/p><div class=\"wpsr-si-inner\"><div class=\"wpsr-counter wpsrc-sz-40px\" style=\"color:#000\"><span class=\"scount\" data-wpsrs=\"\" data-wpsrs-svcs=\"facebook,twitter,reddit,pinterest,whatsapp\"><i class=\"fa fa-share-alt\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><small class=\"stext\">Shares<\/small><\/div><div class=\"socializer sr-popup sr-count-1 sr-count-1 sr-fluid sr-40px sr-opacity sr-pad\"><span class=\"sr-facebook\"><a data-id=\"facebook\" style=\"color:#ffffff;\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share this on Facebook\"><i class=\"fab fa-facebook-f\"><\/i><span class=\"ctext\" data-wpsrs=\"\" data-wpsrs-svcs=\"facebook\"><\/span><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-twitter\"><a data-id=\"twitter\" style=\"color:#ffffff;\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=%20-%20%20\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Tweet this !\"><i class=\"fab fa-twitter\"><\/i><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-reddit\"><a data-id=\"reddit\" style=\"color:#ffffff;\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/reddit.com\/submit?url=&amp;title=\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Submit this to Reddit\"><i class=\"fab fa-reddit-alien\"><\/i><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-pinterest\"><a data-pin-custom=\"true\" data-id=\"pinterest\" style=\"color:#ffffff;\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=&amp;media=&amp;description=\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Submit this to Pinterest\"><i class=\"fab fa-pinterest\"><\/i><span class=\"ctext\" data-wpsrs=\"\" data-wpsrs-svcs=\"pinterest\"><\/span><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-whatsapp\"><a data-mobile=\"whatsapp:\/\/send?text=%20-%20\" data-id=\"whatsapp\" style=\"color:#ffffff;\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=%20\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"WhatsApp\"><i class=\"fab fa-whatsapp\"><\/i><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-share-menu\"><a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"More share links\" style=\"color:#ffffff;\" data-metadata=\"{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;excerpt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;short-url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;rss-url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/bloggingidol.com\\\/feed\\\/&quot;,&quot;comments-section&quot;:&quot;comments&quot;,&quot;raw-url&quot;:null,&quot;twitter-username&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;fb-app-id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;fb-app-secret&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking for the best WordPress theme for your website and have stumbled upon GeneratePress or &#8230;
