Can You Create Great Websites With Stock WordPress Templates?

I receive a lot of questions about stock WordPress templates and their capabilities. Buyers want to know how much they can customize a stock theme to meet the needs of their blog or business website. My answer is you can do a lot. You can create a great website with the theme as is or you can customize it to meet your own unique needs.

I also receive a lot of emails asking for examples of our Genesis themes in usage on real world websites and blogs. I don’t manage our support forum nor do I review every theme purchase. We have thousands of template buyers and users, so it’s hard for me to whip out a list of applicable website URL’s. I have saved a few of my favorites, however, so I thought it would be fun to see what some theme buyers are doing with their stock Genesis themes.

    Thank you for adding Safe Harbor 2014! I loved doing that and I currently provide their maintenance until the event is over. Your themes are really great to work with, especially when I hand them off to clients.

If there were 100 star rating I would leave 110. I have been building WordPress sites now full time for 7 years and in business for 12 and have never worked with such a solid company .
