I Want a Damn Good Website but Wordpress Won't Give It to Me
"Go download one at Wordpress.com, ya dumb schlep, there's thousands of them."
...true, but most of them look like they were built by a 5-year old. And the ones that aren't impractical or entirely ugly simply aren't what I'm looking for. I realize part of the problem is that I don't really want a blog, I want a professional-looking theme for my business.
"There are sites like Themeforest or Elegant Themes where they sell affordable, professionally-designed themes."
...I've downloaded and bought quite a few of them, and while these themes are a step-above the rest, sure, half the time they have lackluster coding for SEO and the other half of the time, despite the fact that they're $30 apiece, they don't do what I want them to and their inflexibility requires my business to suffer.
The thing is.. I want Wordpress to adapt around my business. Must I hire a Wordpress designer to simply get a theme that looks clean and gives me great-looking content? A site like copyblogger.com, for example. Will the Genesis Framework allow me to finally build a site that allows me to put an opt-in where I want, my logo where I like it & structure my content however I please?
I feel like a lot of Wordpress fans will say 'Hey idiot, you can do that already! And some of those themes are free.' ... but the thing is, you can't do that already. Especially with the free themes. And at least with my limited Wordpress expertise, you can't do it very easily even with the expensive themes. I plan on uploading hundreds of articles centered around my copywriting business and all I really want is to build an attractive website to showcase my work and business, but Wordpress isn't letting me do that as easily as others make it sound.
P.S. It should be noted that I have no desire to return to HTML.. I guess I'm just ranting a little bit. I've been trying to look up reviews on the Genesis Framework or find examples of sites made with the Genesis framework, and am doing so with limited success. Is anyone else here using Genesis and can attest to it's functionality?
