Hi Don,

Thanks! I like the Genesis theme framework, but don’t typically use it myself on projects whose theme choices I control. It’s extremely event-driven (“hook”-y) under the hood, and I find that that sometimes makes it harder to make changes that I’d expect to be simple in most themes.

Just my two cents – definitely good software, in my opinion, and worth using if you want to learn and follow the framework’s way of thinking about things.

Great list Fred, thank you for taking the time to send it out to us. The only thing that I found missing was WP Forms. I use this plugin with several websites. Many of the forms I’ve created with this plug-in are laden with conditionals and other complexities; it has never let me down. But please let me know if there’s something I’m not considering!

Thank you again, great list.

Thanks, Fred! Good ideas, and good things to consider.

Could I ask your opinion of the Genesis theme? I wonder if you’d consider it one of the good ones. The article you linked to, 22 Most Popular WordPress Starter Themes For Your Next Project, speaks well of it.

Cheers,
Don
