Please, note that I have curated these free Genesis themes alphabetically. Therefore, the ones at the top may not necessarily be the best themes. Moreover, I’ve tried to use terms (magazine, personal, blog etc) in order to help you find the theme as per your project requirements. However, you still need to click on theme links to see it for yourself. Wherever possible, I have also mentioned the date of release of the themes so that you know how old they are.
