Underscores is a starter framework designed for developers who want to create custom themes efficiently. It serves as a clean, minimal base that can be modified and extended, avoiding the constraints of pre-built themes. This tool is ideal for those with coding experience who prefer to build from scratch while saving time on foundational setup.

• Lean, well-commented templates: The framework includes modern HTML5 templates with clear comments, making it easy to understand and customize the code without guesswork.
• Smart CSS organization: Starter CSS in style.css is structured to help you quickly implement designs, with minimal styles that reduce interference during development.
• Custom template tags: Functions in inc/template-tags.php keep templates clean by preventing code duplication, promoting maintainable and organized theme code.
• Responsive navigation: A script at js/navigation.js enables toggled dropdown menus for small screens, providing a responsive foundation ready for CSS customization.
• Sample layouts and features: It offers optional samples like custom headers, a 404 template, and two CSS layouts for sidebars, giving practical examples to jumpstart your project.
