The Serenity WordPress theme is a soft, magazine style theme from StudioPress. It runs on the Genesis framework, which provides the backbone behind several of StudioPress’s offerings. The theme also provides flexible options in its own right, having a layout that is excellent for featuring both image and text content. Content including video can also be added to this site very easily.

Serenity has several color schemes, all of them concentrating on soft hues. They can be changed by using the control panel features in the theme, meaning that you don’t have to touch a style sheet or other type of code to make such changes. You can also very easily change the theme around in terms of layout. The Genesis framework allows you to add and delete sidebars, or to move them around, to change the look and layout of your content.

The homepage on this theme does an excellent job of dividing up the screen real estate. There is room for a featured article and image up top, with several smaller divisions of the page providing room for both images and content. Widgets and other enhancements can be added to the site very easily.The Serenity theme does provide other, more technical, features for those who are serious about launching a magazine site. The theme is search engine optimized on arrival. This means that you can be sure that your site won’t be passed over because of lacking programming on the part of the designer. The site is also provided with ways to monetize your blog.

Using the features that are part of the Genesis framework, you can easily add advertisements to your site. You can manage them without touching the code manually and turn them on and off with a few clicks. The optimal parts of the page are set aside for ads if you want to include them, but the site can operate without them, as well.

For a news magazine site that wants to offer a calm and relaxing experience, Serenity offers many compelling features and design elements. The site is also provided with enough technical features that those who really like to customize what they have will not be disappointed. It can be purchased on its own, or it can be purchased as part of a package that includes all of the current Genesis framework themes from StudioPress.
