Underscores is a minimal starter theme designed for developers who want to build custom website designs from scratch. It provides a clean, well-structured foundation, avoiding pre-built styles and layouts that can limit creative control.

Lean Templates: The theme offers a just-right amount of lean, well-commented, modern HTML5 templates. This reduces clutter and provides a clear starting point for your own code. Custom Template Tags: It includes custom template tags in a separate file that keep your main templates clean and prevent code duplication, promoting better code organization. Mobile-Ready Navigation: A JavaScript script handles navigation, making menus into toggled dropdowns on small screens like phones, providing a basic responsive structure ready for your CSS. Sample CSS Layouts: Two sample CSS layouts are included for a sidebar on either side of your content, offering quick structural options without forcing a design. Organized Starter CSS: The starter CSS in the main style.css file is smartly organized to help you quickly implement your own design ideas without deciphering complex pre-built styles.
