The Hilary Theme is a 3rd party Genesis Framework theme created for feminine shop owners who are looking for an affordable, professional theme. This beautiful theme comes with many features to run both a successful blog and a beautiful shop.
The Hilary Theme homepage consists of several widgets, that when set up correctly, can funnel traffic to your shop or other important pages on your site. The sticky navigation bar is great for showcasing your important pages or areas of the blog your readers should visit first. The first widget under the navigation bar is a huge custom image with a box inside for another image and a call-to-action button. Talk about grabbing the reader’s attention. It is an outstanding homepage design.
Hilary was coded around the eCommerce plugin, so you just need to install the required plugin. No theme code modification required! Last but not least, there is a footer widget section.

Very Important!
Please keep in mind that you will need to have the Genesis Framework already installed on your blog. The cost of the framework is $59.95. This will get you a lifetime membership and free updates for the framework, which is an awesome deal.
If you are a developer, you know you can customize these themes on your own for your clients and add more money to your packaged deals. The Pro Plus StudioPress package is perfect for professional bloggers and developers. Check out the details below.

There are thousands of plugins online to install on your blog but installing all of them is not a feasible thing to do.
