Underscores is a starter framework designed for developers who want to create custom themes efficiently on popular content management systems. It serves as a clean, minimal base that you can modify and extend, avoiding the constraints of pre-built themes. This tool is ideal for experienced developers or those learning theme development, as it encourages hands-on coding and customization.

• Lean, well-commented templates: The framework includes modern HTML5 templates with clear comments, making it easy to understand and adapt the code for your specific needs.
• Minimal starter CSS: Smartly organized CSS in style.css provides a basic foundation, allowing you to focus on design without wrestling with excessive default styles.
• Custom template tags: Functions in template-tags.php help keep your templates clean by reducing code duplication and improving maintainability.
• Responsive navigation: A JavaScript file enables toggled dropdown menus on small screens, offering a starting point for responsive design that you can style with CSS.
• Sample layouts and features: Optional elements like a 404 template, custom header implementation, and sidebar layouts in the layouts folder give you practical examples to build upon.
