It has now become a beloved theme for content marketers and bloggers all over the world. In Japan, several blogs introduce the Genesis Framework.

It seems that more and more Japan marketers are using the Genesis Framework.
How I Discovered the Genesis Framework
I came across the Genesis Framework because it was used by an overseas marketer I was watching. It was already 6 or 7 years ago.
I thought so, and when I did my own research, I found that he was using the Genesis Framework. That led me to use the Genesis Framework as well.
Nowadays, if you search for Genesis Framework, you will find many blog posts written by Japan. However, at that time, there were still few articles explained in Japanese.
Still, I remember setting up the Genesis Framework while looking at the manual site.
Amazing features of the Genesis Framework
As introduced above,Many SEO experts recommend the Genesis Framework.Joost de Valk of SEO plugin Yoast SEO also praised the functionality of the Genesis Framework.
Of course, there are many WordPress themes available in Japan as well. There are many WordPress themes that come with a lot of extra features and are sold by individuals for over 30,000 yen.
A famous blogger wrote, "This WordPress theme is SEO-ready!", so many people feel comfortable buying the theme when they see it.
However,Many WordPress themes actually slow down page displays due to extra features, which is negatively impacting SEOThat's right.
We have no intention of lowering Japan WordPress themes. Of course, there are many great WordPress themes out there.
The Genesis Framework provides an order of magnitude more peace of mind
However, Genesis Framework has more than 200,000 users, and more than 500,000 (actually more) sites are built with Genesis Framework.

Benefits of Genesis Framework
The Genesis Framework has both advantages and disadvantages.
- SEO Optimized (Professional)
- Enhanced security
- Trust that has been developed for many years
- Design that elevates branding
- Simplicity without unnecessary decorations
- Automatic updates
These are the benefits:
Disadvantages of Genesis Framework
The Genesis Framework also has two disadvantages. There is no need to hide it.
Rather, it is better to understand these two before using them.
Limited design
First of all, the first disadvantage of the Genesis Framework. Design limitations.
First, please take a look at the image below.
![How to use Genesis Framework and discount sale information [2024] How to use Genesis Framework and discount sale information [2024]](https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1024,h_951/https://takeofujii.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/genesis-articles-1024x951.png)
This is the Genesis Framework article page. The design is simple. To put it badly, there is no frills. It's simple.
If you're used to fancy WordPress themes, you won't be able to stand this modest design.
Just rest assured. If you want to do it, you can adjust it with CSS.
![How to use Genesis Framework and discount sale information [2024] How to use Genesis Framework and discount sale information [2024]](https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_969,h_735/https://takeofujii.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/articles-CSS.png)
How is it? I decorated the h2 tag with CSS. It's a little more fashionable.
It's easy to do.
.entry-content h2 {
color: #364e96;
border: solid 3px #364e96;
padding: 0.5em;
border-radius: 0.5em;
font-size: 25px;
}Just put this CSS code into your theme.
![How to use Genesis Framework and discount sale information [2024] How to use Genesis Framework and discount sale information [2024]](https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1024,h_556/https://takeofujii.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/css-1024x556.png)
If you put it here, you can change the design.
In this way, you can freely decorate with CSS.
However, what I like about the Genesis Framework is thatThere are no unnecessary decorations or functions at all.is.
There are many useful and stylish WordPress themes out there. However, the operation is heavy and there are too many functions that are not used.
In that sense, a design that has been carefully selected and stripped of waste, such as the Genesis Framework, is preferable.
English is basic (but intuitive)
What you are most worried about is ease of use, right?
The overseas theme is English. Therefore, I often have a hard time setting up. Genesis Framework is also in English.
Thankfully, the Genesis Framework is partially supported in Japanese. For example, SEO settings can be set without a plugin from the article editing screen as shown below.
![How to use Genesis Framework and discount sale information [2024] How to use Genesis Framework and discount sale information [2024]](https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1024,h_520/https://takeofujii.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/genesis5-1024x520.png)
In addition, the basic settings of the Genesis Framework are available in Japanese. I wonder if a volunteer translated it.
![How to use Genesis Framework and discount sale information [2024] How to use Genesis Framework and discount sale information [2024]](https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_792,h_634/https://takeofujii.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/genesis-setting.png)
The important part is that it supports Japanese, so I didn't feel dissatisfied with using it.
If you usually use WordPress sites, you shouldn't find them particularly difficult to use.
![How to use Genesis Framework and discount sale information [2024] How to use Genesis Framework and discount sale information [2024]](https://spcdn.shortpixel.ai/spio/ret_img,q_cdnize,to_auto,s_webp:avif/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_100,h_100/takeofujii.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/ddma-takeo-prof.png)
It is hundreds of millions of times easier to use than other overseas themes. Really...
Of course, there may be some parts that are difficult to understand in English.
If you have any questions you want to ask in the settings, please write them in the comments section below this article. I will respond to the extent that I can understand.
Genesis Framework Pricing & Pricing Plans
Genesis Framework offers two pricing plans:
1. Buy Genesis Pro & Whole Child Theme
This plan can be purchased for $360. When you purchase this plan, you get all 10 paid child themes from Genesis Framework and StudioPress.
Once purchased, you can install and use the Genesis Framework and child themes on your site as much as you want. There is no limit of "only one site can be used". Unlimited.
2. Get all child themes for free
The second plan. That's how you can get it for free.
StudioPress, the developer of the Genesis Framework, was acquired by WP Engine in 2018. As a result, WP Engine has made the Genesis Framework and all of the StudioPress themes available to all users who use it.
In other words, if you use WP Engine,You can use the originally paid Genesis Framework and other themes for free.
If you're looking to launch a WordPress website, WP Engine is another option.
I myself rent an overseas server and operate the site in order to disseminate information for overseas audiences. As I write this article, the yen is depreciating. Therefore, it is better to earn money by writing a blog in English for overseas markets. It is a kind of migrant work.
There are many different options for running a WordPress website, such as X-Server and mixhost. Among them, WP Engine is one of the ways to disseminate information with an overseas perspective.
You can also get the Genesis Framework for free.
