List of Genesis Themes

List of Genesis Themes

by Matt · Jul 8, 2015

Recently I have been asked by a few web development clients to give them some ideas about where to look for Genesis themes for their websites. A couple of the website packages we offer at Cap Web Solutions allow clients to choose an existing theme to be implemented on their site with varying degrees of customization.

Genesis Framewor White LogoI always send them first to the StudioPress Theme Selector page. Then I usually identify a few other top tier theme shops and pass along those links. I would go through the typical email copy-n-paste to assemble the lists and then I thought “someone must have already done this. Someone has already built a list of Genesis theme shops.” A tweak of my google search from ‘Genesis theme shops’ to ‘Genesis theme lists’ did the trick. A number of great lists were my reward. I went through a bunch of them, and, well, you know, I stayed near the top of the search results. Don’t we all?

There right near the top was Andrea Whitmer. While she and I have never met face to face, we have had a number of “conversations” via comments on her blogs.  I trust her. After all, she’s the one who calmed my fears about jumping on-board with the Genesis Developer Pro Package last year. And I am soooo glad I did. Anyway, I feel that I can trust her theme shop recommendations to pass them along, untouched, to my web development clients.

So here it is. Andrea has assembled an awesome list of 3rd party theme developers. No doubt you will find something that coincides with your mind’s eye of what your site could look like.

Enjoy!

Themes and Plugins

by Em Are · Nov 24, 2014

 

This post introduces you to the Themes and Plugins Cap Web Solutions uses on a regular basis. On a regular basis we will be posting additional information about new Genesis.

Primarily, we use free themes and plugins, other than these included with the Genesis Pro Pack (which number more than 60). But here are a few of the freebies that I couldn’t live without either on my own sites or those I develop for others.

Jetpack – Jetpack is a WordPress developed plugin that supercharges your self-hosted WordPress site with the awesome cloud power of WordPress.com. stats, email sign-ups, social integration, to name a few. Excellent package.

BackWPup Free – This plugin can save your butt one day! It can be used to save your complete installation including /wp-content/ and push them to an external Backup Service, like Dropbox, S3, FTP and many more. With a single backup .zip file you are able to easily restore an installation. Every site deserves this protection at a minimum.

Contact Form 7 – Contact Form 7 can manage multiple contact forms, plus you can customize the form and the mail contents flexibly with simple HTML.

WooCommerce – The basis for all eCommerce sites we develop. Delivers enterprise-level quality and features, backed by full support from WooThemes.
