creative-portfolio: Kickstart your WordPress theme with lean, hackable code.

Underscores (also known as _s) is a starter theme for WordPress developers who want to build custom themes from scratch. It provides a minimal foundation of well-commented, modern HTML5 templates and CSS, so you can focus on your design without reinventing common patterns.

Lean, hackable templates: Includes a just-right set of template files (header, footer, index, single, page, archive, 404, etc.) that are easy to modify. The code is clean and annotated for quick understanding.
Modern HTML5 structure: Uses semantic markup and includes sample layout files for sidebar positioning (left, right). The CSS in style.css is organized to help you start styling immediately.
Navigation script: A js/navigation.js file makes the main menu toggle into a dropdown on small screens, ready for your own CSS artistry.
Sample custom header support: An optional implementation in inc/custom-header.php shows how to add a custom header image to your theme.
Custom template tags: The inc/template-tags.php file contains helper functions to keep templates clean and reduce code duplication.

Underscores is not a parent theme—it's meant to be forked and turned into your own unique theme. It's licensed under GPLv2+.
