Genesis Interior Pro Review : StudioPress
The Elegance doesn’t need much knowledge for customization work. You just have to be familiar with WordPress CMS, and nothing much. Once you load customizer then you can manage everything including header, front-page, color, fonts and all other stuff. You can also re-order homepage and other widgets from customizer.
This is a child theme for genesis framework so you must have it handy before you start installation process. So be sure to have framework or you can purchase it along with child theme.
Elegance StudioPress : Main Features
Custom Header : The theme let’s make powerful presentation of your brand logo through custom header layout. It provides you color and styling options so you can select logo image and background color. If you don’t like plain color then you can also setup custom background image for header area. This genesis template has 2 menus : one is on the left of logo (primary) and another is right of the logo (secondary).
The logo and tag-line stays in the middle of the header. The both navigation menus are located on besides logo, so you can only add upto 4 links for each. Apart from that, you will see couple of widgets with header area in live demo. This is called “Header Left” and “Header Right” area which enables you to add social links, search box and other elements.
The top of the header provides a notification section where you have opportunity to add important text message. This section is mostly used to promote offers, special message or anything that needs instant attention from visitors.
Elegance Portfolio Page : This WordPress theme let’s you take full benefit of modern portfolio features with built-in options. You just have to install “Genesis Portfolio Pro plugin” to post your photography and product gallery on your website. This plugin is developed by StudioPress team and it works with all genesis WordPress themes.
It just takes small time to create portfolio posts using custom post type. You just have to create “Soliloqy slider” by adding relevant images for current project. And then you will get shortcode that you have to paste in your portfolio editor. Then just setup a feature image and publish it. It’s that easy to create and list portfolio post custom post type.

It helps you to create custom photo-shoot gallery and share it with your client (with password protected link). Then you clients can select their favourite images from your photography work.
