Underscores is a minimal starter theme designed for developers and designers who want to create custom website themes from scratch. It provides a clean, well-structured foundation that avoids unnecessary bloat, making it ideal for those who prefer full control over their code and design. This tool is not meant to be used as a parent theme but as a base to transform into a unique, tailored theme.
