# Which theme?? Genesis Framework??

 * Hi, help! I’m stuck…
 * I want to put together a website for my business, we install smart home systems(
   multi room music, heating, lighting security systems) and the big USP is controlling
   these systems from iPhone and iPad.
    I need to choose a theme/framework that 
   is responsive (automatically adjusts itself to all devices/browsers?), best for
   SEO and one that visually fits the bill for my type of business. I’ve been looking
   at the StudioPress Genesis Themes, which look like they might be a safe bet? 
   then started looking at which theme to choose which is where I really hit the
   wall. I’m terrible with visuals, I never get involved with choosing wallpaper,
   carpets etc….
 * Any suggestions, please???

 * [@wyerstuff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wyerstuff/), Genesis themes 
   are great if you are comfortable with techie stuff, or if you will be using one
   of the themes out of the box. We’ve used both Genesis and Emil’s Responsive theme
   and both are excellent – but for very different purposes and use cases. Emil’s
   Responsive theme is pretty easy to figure out and adopt (once you know the basics
   of WordPress at least); whereas Genesis allows you to — potentially — do a helluva
   lot more, however it has a very steep learning curve IMO if you need to make 
   changes to the look-and-feel of your site.
 * Also note that not all of the Genesis themes are responsive. I think you’re smart
   to have that as a key criteria for your site, given how much mobile/tablet stuff
   is growing.
 * Anyway just my $0.02 as someone who’s recently been diving into WP and has gone
   in both directions that you’re considering.

 * [@wyerstuff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wyerstuff/) — I couldn’t agree
   more with [@lightenup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lightenup/). Genesis
   is a great theme framework, but if you want to make lots of customizations, you’ll
   probably find yourself knee-deep in code.
 * I recommend you check out [Headway](http://headwaythemes.com/). It uses a visual
   editor so you can customize fonts, colors, etc. without diving into CSS. As well,
   Headway is drag-and-drop, so changing the layout is easy too. And, as of the 
   latest version, it’s responsive.
 * I’ve also heard great things about Responsive; will be testing it myself in the
   next couple of weeks.
 * Best of luck.

 * Thanks for the replies guys, that helped a lot.
    I have gone ahead with Genesis
   and the studiopress Driskill responsive theme. Looks like it,s the way to go 
   now Google have today said that Responsive is their recommended method for mobile
   seo.
