Every time I have a client that wants a WordPress website using a ready-made theme, I start by explaining that I recommend Genesis themes because they lack the bloat of most multi-purpose themes out theme, they are light, fast and search engine optimized. Then I go through the Genesis themes I know of and try to come up with a shortlist based on the client’s industry and preferences. To save me the trouble of doing those lists over and over again, I thought I’d publish them here for easy reference.
