IGuRu.gr uses a modified child theme based on the Genesis Framework. Our goal is speed for easier navigation, and not so much the appearance, with dozens of "buttons", sliders, popups and other impressive effects that make a theme crawl.
The trend lately is the speed of themes. So you will notice the following phenomenon: Every theme creator promises that his own is the fastest WordPress theme ever created.
Everyone says how small their CSS and JS are. We will mention something we need to remember.
Speed does not mean that the theme has no features at all. The theme of iGuRu.gr and the way we developed it, allows us many changes in appearance, by adding features, images, or whatever else a site may need. It is our choice to emphasize content, because we believe that appearance can not be more important than it is.
It should be noted here that the Genesis Framework is not for everyone, as it does not contain a huge panel that allows conversions. Everything has to be done by hand. This makes the theme prohibitive for beginners or those who do not have a developer on the management team.
Here comes the GeneratePress a must-try WordPress theme. The code of GeneratePress is simple and very well written, It contains only what it needs to contain, without discounts in quality or appearance.
We tried the theme on many sites, and the results are impressive, both in terms of speed and appearance.
This theme is addressed to all, beginners - advanced users and developers. It has a management panel for beginners, but also dozens of hooks and filters for developers who want to expand its functionality.
The competing Astra theme cannot be compared. We tested it once on iGuRu.gr and besides the bloat in the code we found many errors, with the biggest one not allowing the resizing of the images. To solve this specific problem, we had to automatically run a SQL command every one to two hours on the database. We deleted the transients that were coming in thousands.
The theme support team could not find the cause, and probably had to rewrite the part that resized the images from the beginning.
GeneratePress contains no code bloat and enables you to create sites with many features. Gives the options Sections and Elements, modular which I find very clever, since you can only use them when you want.
But what if you only want to edit part of your page? The management panel allows you to do anything. You can change everything in the theme, from color to font, and from the appearance of the original to the appearance of each post, without the need for a pagebuilder.

And for the various layouts:
As you can see in the pictures the modification options are countless. With the pencils in the sidebar you can give a different look to each widget and customize it as you wish.
GeneratePress comes free with limited possibilities that allow you to test it. Those of you who want to get all the features can take a look the official page (affiliate link).
