    Hi,

    I just had a quick question.

    Is the Genisis framework similar to https://roots.io/sage/ or do i have the type mixed up?

    I currently build out all my custom themes using sage as a starter but looking to see what else is out there.

    Cheers

    Hi Josh,

    I know this post is old but I thought I'd comment anyway. If your starter system is working for you I'd say stay with it. I clicked on the link but honestly found it rather convoluted. What I like about Genesis is the Framework takes care of all the "heavy lifting" and can keep updated, while all of your theme -specific goodies are in the child theme. Genesis provides a clean and clear set of actions, filters and hooks on top of WordPress that let you do anything you need without changing source code. If you'd like a starter child theme that is made more for developers, I'd recommend Utility Pro by Carrie Dils....she sells a developer edition that is quite handy.

    If you'd like a starter child theme that is made more for developers, I like genesis theme setting . It is very wonderful for seeing. It is provides a clean and clear set of actions.
