Underscores is a starter theme designed for developers who build custom themes from the ground up. It provides a clean, minimal foundation that you can modify and extend, rather than serving as a parent theme for child theming.

Lean Codebase: The theme offers a just-right amount of modern, HTML5 templates with well-commented code, giving you full control without unnecessary bloat. Custom Template Tags: A dedicated file contains reusable template tags that keep your main template files clean and organized, preventing code duplication. Responsive Navigation: Includes a JavaScript file that automatically converts menus into toggleable dropdowns on small screens, providing a responsive foundation ready for styling. Sample Layouts: Comes with two sample CSS layouts in a separate directory, offering starting points for sidebar placement on either side of your content. Organized Starter CSS: The main stylesheet is smartly structured to help you quickly implement your design ideas and visual style.
