A controversial look at thematic frameworks: a case for minimal WordPress settings

When it comes to WordPress user development, thematic frameworks, such as Sage and Genesis, are an ideal solution, especially for many agencies that use frameworks as an effective start for customer projects. They promise modern standards, optimized workflows and convenient code bases. However, the experience of using these frameworks often tells another story.

🧠 With my help, I specialize in working with professional websites, I often get projects that have been created by agencies using these frameworks. This experience has given me a unique view of the real consequences of these tools over time. Although they can look great at the beginning, their complexity often creates problems for future developers, service teams, and even the business they serve.

• 📌 Frameworks are designed to accelerate the development of WordPress, making it clearer and optimized for modern best practices.
• 📌 Frameworks, such as SAGE, use PSR-2 standards, composer-based dependencies and abstractions similar to MVC.
• 📌 Blade templates in Sage encourage modularity, and Genesis uses houses for wide tuning.
