Underscores (_s) is a minimal starter theme designed for developers who build custom themes from the ground up. It provides a clean, standards-compliant codebase that serves as a blank canvas, allowing you to implement your own design and functionality without having to strip away pre-built styles or complex features.

• Lean, Modern Codebase: Offers well-commented, semantic HTML5 templates and organized starter CSS. This structure gives you control over every aspect of your theme's output and presentation.
• Development Utilities: Includes custom template tags and functions that help keep your template files clean and prevent code duplication, promoting maintainable development practices.
• Responsive Foundation: Comes with a JavaScript-powered navigation script that creates a mobile-friendly toggle menu, providing a ready-made responsive behavior for you to style.
• Flexible Layout Options: Provides two sample CSS layouts in the /layouts/ directory for implementing sidebars, giving you a starting point for common page structures.
• Hackable and Extensible: Explicitly intended as a starting point to be modified, not used as a parent theme. Its minimal styling and logical file organization are designed to get out of your way during development.
