    Brand new to to the theme thing. I'm considering buying a premium theme, but before I do, can someone please help with a few stupid questions?

    The two options that appeal to me are the Studiopress Quattro (nice appearance) and Woothemes Canvas (blank canvast to create anything I want... easily).

    Woothemes has 4 video tutorials on Canvas that make me think I can do just what I need there, but...

    1.  Is Framework just like Canvas in that I will be able to customize any feature on Quattro using Framework?

    2. Is there a video resource somewhere where I can see more about Framework's customizability, so I can compare it with Canvas?

    3. I like the Woothemes Sensei plugin, which allows coursework to be done simply and nicely. Is there an equivalent courseware plugin available for Framework and/or Quattro? If not, does Framework/Quattro play nice with Woothemes Sensei?

    Thanks in advance! ;0

    If you know CSS, you can do just about anything with Genesis. The best way is to start with the Genesis Sample Child theme - don't change the Genesis Framework itself.


    Sharing the good news about the wonders of modern CSS and the split-step. Either one should get you moving fast. 😀
