Underscores is a minimal starter theme designed for developers who build custom themes from the ground up. It provides a clean, well-commented codebase intended to be modified and extended, not used as a parent theme.

• Lean, Modern Templates: A minimal set of HTML5 templates with just the right structure, avoiding unnecessary bloat to give you a clean starting point.
• Organized Starter CSS: Smartly organized CSS in style.css with clear sections, helping you implement your design quickly without fighting default styles.
• Custom Template Tags: Functions in inc/template-tags.php keep your template files clean and prevent code duplication for common theme elements.
• Responsive Navigation: Includes a JavaScript file (js/navigation.js) that converts the main menu into a toggleable dropdown on small screens, providing a responsive foundation.
• Sample Layouts & Components: Comes with optional sample code for a custom header, two sample CSS layouts, and a 404 template to guide your development.
