Underscores is a minimal starter theme for developers who build custom themes from the ground up. It provides a clean, standards-compliant codebase without imposing design decisions, making it ideal for experienced creators who want full control over their project's final look and functionality.

• Lean, Modern Templates: The theme offers a just-right amount of well-commented, semantic HTML5 templates. This provides a solid structural foundation without unnecessary bloat, allowing you to focus on your unique design and features.
• Organized Development Files: Smartly organized starter CSS and separate files for custom template tags and functions keep your code clean and maintainable. This structure prevents duplication and improves the theming experience.
• Responsive Navigation: Includes a JavaScript file for navigation that automatically converts menus into a toggled dropdown on small screens. This provides a responsive starting point ready for your custom CSS styling.
• Development-Focused Features: Comes with helpful utilities like a 404 template, sample CSS layouts for sidebars, and optional boilerplate code for implementing custom headers. These elements handle common requirements so you can concentrate on the unique aspects of your theme.
• Open Source License: The theme is licensed under GPLv2 or later, granting you the freedom to use, modify, and distribute your creations based on this starter code.
