The Gensis Theme Framework has fast become one of the most popular available. With the vast number of Genesis child themes developers, designers, and WordPress users in general have decided that it is the framework of choice.
Built by the team behind Copyblogger, the framework is now supported by many companies choosing to build child themes for this amazing framework rather than offer standalone themes. There are a number of reasons for this, but the ability for Genesis to be customized with easy to use hooks are certainly one of the major benefits.
The list below is of Genesis child themes and to use these you will first need to purchase a copy of the genesis framework – though child themes sold by Studiopress themselves are offered with the framework included.
Be aware that this list is in no particular order, so you are just as likely to find a great theme near the end of the list as at the beginning.
