 * I have a customer who saw a website she really liked and decided she wanted an
   identical look for her existing site. The site she admired features a WordPress
   framework with a parent theme on top. I humored her even though I’ve never used
   a framework — I’m usually a parent theme + child theme type of developer.
 * Now (of course!) the customer wants customizations to the design. I’m not sure
   how to proceed as I’ve read that a framework + parent theme + child theme (aka
   a grandchild theme) setup isn’t a great idea. Do I get rid of the framework, 
   and create a child theme under the parent theme in my usual way? Or, do I keep
   the framework, remove the parent theme, and create my own clone theme with mods?
   Did we even need the framework at all in the first place?
