Genesis Framework Theme Description

The Genesis WordPress Theme is a framework that is built on a simple, vanilla blog-type parent theme, and can be extended with the use of child themes.

The main advantage of the Genesis Framework is the ability to provide an easy upgrade route when Genesis evolves and/or is updated to keep up with changes to WordPress.

This feature makes the Genesis Theme Framework the first commercially developed theme to include automatic updates.

Similar to the way that WordPress itself (and plugins) are handled, any time there is an update to the Genesis, you'll be notified in your dashboard and can update with one simple click. There is also an option to be notified via email address when an update occurs.
