Underscores is a minimalist starter theme designed for developers who build custom themes from the ground up. It provides a clean, standards-compliant codebase that serves as a blank canvas, avoiding the bloat and rigid structures of pre-built themes.

• Lean, Modern Codebase: The theme is built with semantic HTML5, a minimal amount of starter CSS, and well-commented PHP templates. This approach removes unnecessary defaults, giving you full control over the final design and functionality.
• Organized Template Structure: Essential template files are included and logically separated. Custom template tags and functions are kept in dedicated files to prevent code duplication and keep your main template files clean and readable.
• Development-Friendly Features: It includes practical starting points like a responsive navigation script for mobile menus, sample CSS layouts for common sidebar configurations, and example implementations for features like custom headers. The code is licensed under GPLv2+, allowing for unrestricted use and modification in your projects.
