With regards to Genesis, child themes serve as a sort of skin that can change the way a theme looks, while relying on the functionality of its parent theme (in this case, Genesis). Child themes offer users the added flexibility to customize and tweak according to their taste and vision.\u00a0Child themes can also help\u00a0speed up the rate of development for both designers and developers.<\/p>\n<h2>Academy Pro<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-42653\" src=\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Academy-Pro-Theme.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Academy-Pro-Theme.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/wpengine.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Academy-Pro-Theme-300x263.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpengine.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Academy-Pro-Theme-768x672.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpengine.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Academy-Pro-Theme-1024x896.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wpengine.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Academy-Pro-Theme-1500x1313.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Academy Pro will help you showcase your authority as an educator and content creator.\u00a0 For site owners who might not be as technically inclined, Academy Pro is a great option to easily customize your website.
