Underscores is a minimal starter theme designed for developers who build custom themes from the ground up. It provides a clean, standards-compliant codebase that serves as a foundation, avoiding pre-styled layouts or complex frameworks that can get in the way of a unique design.

Key aspects include:

Lean, commented templates: Offers modern HTML5 templates with just the right structure, heavily commented to guide customization.
Essential theme functions: Includes a set of custom template tags and helper functions in separate files to keep template code clean and avoid repetition.
Mobile-ready navigation: Comes with a JavaScript file that converts the main menu into a toggleable dropdown on small screens, providing a ready base for responsive styling.
Organized starter CSS: The main stylesheet is smartly structured with common selectors and basic formatting, giving developers a logical starting point for their own designs.
Sample layout options: Provides two basic CSS layout files (sidebar on left or right) as a starting point for common content structures.
