    Hi guys, I built this website on the Ultimatum framework ( http://www.forthartley.co.za/ ) and I want to transfer it to the Genesis framework. I found a theme on StudioPress called Minimum Pro which has a few of my pages done for me with a nice responsive body background. My website is a complete custom build with up to 4000 lines of CSS. I am wondering if I should buy the Minimum Pro theme and customise it till it looks the same as my current website above or I should use the Genesis Sandbox theme. I am worried about spending all that money for Minimum Pro and then using Genesis Sandbox or Sample theme because I have so many customisations to do. What is the best way to do a complete custom job with Genesis?
    I'm wanting to use a workflow of the Genesis framework, Genesis extender Plugin and customising a child theme. Please check the website that I need to transfer http://www.forthartley.co.za/ ... advice would be SO appreciated!

    To clarify my question can the Minimum Pro child theme act as a starter theme for web development? I am new to Genesis, but need to have a child theme that I can do complete custom jobs on. I do have Dynamik Website Builder and the Genesis Extender Plugin, but being good at CSS Dynamik Website Builder's non-coding design options look tedious, plus I don't know if DWB can handle 4000 lines of CSS.

    The Genesis Framework comes with a child theme. No need to purchase another theme on top of it unless you like said theme.
