This starter theme provides developers with a foundational codebase for building custom website themes. It is designed for those who want full control over their design and functionality, offering a minimal and standards-compliant starting point.

• Lean, Modern Codebase: Features well-commented, semantic HTML5 templates and organized starter CSS. This provides a solid foundation without imposing design decisions.
• Development-Focused Features: Includes custom template tags and functions to keep code clean and avoid duplication. It also contains a responsive navigation script for small screens.
• Flexible Layout Options: Comes with sample CSS layouts for sidebars, giving you a quick structural starting point for common design patterns.
• Hackable Foundation: The ultra-minimal styling is intentionally basic, described as 'theme tartare,' to ensure nothing gets in the way of your custom design work.
• GPL Licensing: Licensed under GPLv2 or later, allowing for free use, modification, and distribution in both personal and commercial projects.
