The prompts
Prompt 1
I'm considering using the Genesis Framework for my WordPress website. Provide a comprehensive analysis of its advantages and disadvantages. Cover aspects such as SEO, customization, performance, community support, and cost. Also, consider the learning curve for developers who are new to the framework. Structure your response in a clear, easy-to-understand format, with bullet points for each pro and con. Highlight any potential limitations or challenges I might encounter when using Genesis. Finally, suggest alternative theme frameworks or approaches if Genesis isn't the best fit, explaining why those alternatives might be more suitable for specific use cases. I want to be fully informed before making a decision. Consider the long-term maintenance aspect and compatibility with popular plugins too.
Prompt 2
I need to decide whether to use the Genesis Framework for a specific project: building a portfolio website for a freelance photographer. My priorities are clean design, fast loading speed, excellent SEO, and easy customization. How well does Genesis align with these requirements? Are there any specific child themes or plugins that you would recommend to enhance Genesis for this purpose? Outline any potential challenges I might face, such as limitations in visual design or the need for custom coding. Compare using Genesis against other options like building a custom theme from scratch or using a drag-and-drop page builder. Which approach offers the best balance of performance, customization, and ease of use for this particular project? Give specific examples of how Genesis would improve the site speed and SEO compared to these other methods.
