Underscores is a minimalist starter theme designed for developers who build custom themes. It provides a clean, well-documented codebase as a foundation, allowing you to focus on design and functionality without unnecessary bulk. This tool is ideal for experienced developers who prefer to craft unique themes from the ground up rather than modifying existing ones.

• Lean, Hackable Codebase: The theme offers a minimal amount of starter CSS and HTML5 templates that are heavily commented. This approach provides structure without imposing design decisions, giving you a blank canvas to build upon.
• Organized Development Structure: It includes smartly organized files for custom template tags, functions, and a sample navigation script. This organization promotes clean code practices and reduces duplication as your theme grows.
• Practical Starter Components: You get useful starting points like a 404 template, sample CSS layouts for sidebars, and optional custom header code. These components handle common requirements so you can focus on the unique aspects of your design.
• Mobile-Ready Navigation: A built-in JavaScript file provides basic functionality for toggled dropdown menus on small screens. This offers a foundational responsive behavior ready for your custom styling.
• Open Source License: The theme is licensed under GPLv2 or later, ensuring you have the freedom to use, modify, and distribute your creations based on it without restrictive licensing concerns.
