It’s been a while, since I did an post in “Ask the Readers” series. Today I’m here with another great question “Which Theme Framework Do you Prefer?” Thesis, Genesis, Headway or any other.
I’ve great experience with Thesis & Genesis Theme Framework, and have used them for many blogs. Both of the themes comes great SEO options. One of the thing I liked about Genesis is it comes with a great design (without installing child themes), while Thesis looks really ugly without the child or custom skins.
Last month, Onibalusi wrote an short post - Thesis Theme VS Genesis Theme. I will be writing an detailed post about Thesis Theme V/s Genesis Theme Framework, sometime in next month.
Last Month’s “Ask The Readers”
In last month’s “ask the readers” segment, I asked: Which Commenting System Do You Prefer ?
Thanks everyone who answered. Among the awesome comments, I think my favorite tip came from James Johnston:
I can’t stand external comment systems. A few years back I had so many problems with several different comment systems and lost nearly a 1000 comments and several weeks of headaches. Even with their backup system, syncing with the comment system, and easy import/export features they still do not work as well as the default comment system.
I also avoid commenting on sites that use external comment systems.
Now it’s your turn. Comment below with your answer, and we’ll discuss as the comments come in. I’ll choose the most useful or interesting comment and credit the winner in the next “Ask the Readers” post when it goes up.
I use Pagelines for my personal blog, but I prefer Genesis for all of my other sites. I actually host my own business’ site with Genesis.
Hi Ryan,
I don’t have any experience with Pagelines but have heard good things about it. Going to try it, in near future.
Btw. You have an interesting blog – subscribed

Genesis
Thesis all the way!
I prefer “Thesis Theme” very badly..
It seems Thesis has more fans / followers
.
I’m a Genesis user and I love it. Never tried Thesis but I think I should give it a try!
Thesis is the one which which love most
Genesis.
I’m using Genesis Theme Framework for most of my blogs and I’m really loving it.
I’ve used Thesis (very very beginner level, I don’t use much customization YET) and I just love it.
From my personal observation, Thesis designed themes are more flexible, artistics (with a lot of play with the design & typography) and I’d just fall in love with all of them at first sight!
While for Genesis, I noticed the designs are quite typical. I do admit that there are some that caught my eyes (especially the girly ones
, but still, they have the same elements, like the layout, the navigation, it’s like ‘fixed’. Correct me if I’m wrong. Maybe I haven’t seen enough.
I did try to look for other options like Pagelines, but looking at their showcases, I just think Thesis is still the best
