Genesis is one of the most popular and widely used WordPress frameworks among bloggers and website developers because of its outstanding features such as SEO, Airtight security, Responsive HTML5 Ready, and very fast loading. But, Genesis Framework has one problem that cannot be ignored i.e, it’s not that perfect for non-coders.
It means if you’re not a coder or don’t have knowledge of CSS, HTML, PHP, etc., you’ll feel lots of problems while using the Genesis Framework such as giving a unique look to your site and other customizations.
However, if you’re new to Genesis Framework, you may check one of my old posts in which I discussed some must-have Genesis plugins for all beginners. In the same post, I also discussed Design Palette Pro plugin which is a must-have plugin for you if you purchased Genesis Framework without knowing the fact that it’s not comfortable for non-coders.
So, in this post, I’m reviewing the Genesis Design Palette Pro plugin that will help you make easy customization to your Genesis child theme, even without having any knowledge of CSS, HTML, and PHP.
How Design Palette Pro Make Genesis Customization Easy
