Alternative WordPress Frameworks

You may already know this by now, but there are more frameworks than just the Genesis Framework. This Framework provides a settings panel in the admin section, and according to what the theme author has coded into the theme, there will be various settings available. This is basically what most frameworks do, but some function differently than others. On each homepage below, pay attention to all the fine details and explore any demos made available to understand the options and features that come with each business.

So what is a framework for WordPress?

A “base/starter” Theme framework is a stand-alone Theme designed to be a flexible foundation for quicker WordPress development, usually serving as a robust Parent Theme for Child Themes. Some Theme frameworks can also make theme development more accessible, removing the need for programming or design knowledge by Creating Options Pages.

Frameworks are very popular right now, which means you have plenty of them to choose from. My advice for you is to carefully review each framework below and make your decision based off of what is going to work best for your blog. Also use the contact us link or support ticket system to contact the framework’s staff to ask any presale questions. The more knowledge you get about each, the easier the decision. I have only used the Genesis Framework, so I don’t have user experience for the one listed below.
