A little trip down memory lane
I’ve been designing websites for over 15 years and rocking WordPress for 12 of those years. Back when I was a Web Designer in the corporate world, I dabbled in WordPress and blogging as a hobby. That’s when I discovered the Genesis Framework, and I was hooked! My little hobby blossomed into a side gig, and eventually, it became my full-time business. I was a die-hard Genesis fangirl, living for all the ways I could customize and create themes. I thought nothing could top it.
Then, along came Kadence, strutting its stuff. I tried to play it cool, sticking with Genesis for new sites, but curiosity got the better of me. I had a little heart-to-heart with my business bestie Lauren at Restored 316, who was busy whipping up some seriously gorgeous themes for Kadence. I test-drove one of her new Kadence themes, and I was smitten! After redesigning a Genesis site for my longtime client Casey at Good.Food.Stories using Kadence sealed the deal. I traded my Genesis designer hat for a sparkly new Kadence one, and I’ve never looked back.
Now, I still take care of my clients with Genesis sites, but all my new projects kick off with Kadence. (and I honestly can’t wait until all my Genesis clients have moved over to Kadence.) Moving to Kadence is on my “best decisions ever” list!
Check out these 5 fabulous features of Kadence that have me head over heels:
